Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 874: Chapter 875: Going Too Far

”Come on.”

He acted as a desk for her this time.

Chiang Xiao felt a warmth in her heart and, without any reservation, spread the paper on his back and began to write.

With just a few words, she had turned the five paintings into six months of rent.

Chiang Xiao had Liu Guohua sign it, and then had the Feng Daji couple sign it as well.

The Feng Daji couple read the note several times, making sure there were no issues before signing their names. They seemed quite cautious.

However, Chiang Xiao looked at them as if they were two fools.

Do you know how much Liu Guohua’s paintings would be worth in ten years?

Forget about ten yuan per piece, you might not even be able to get one for a hundred thousand! They could say they pushed away five hundred thousand with just fifty yuan!

Chiang Xiao could already foresee how much regret the Feng Daji couple would feel in the future. She guessed the remorse would turn each of their days into torment.

”Teacher, these paintings are for...”

Just as Chiang Xiao was about to return the paintings to Liu Guohua, he said sternly, ”You bought them, they’re yours!”

Without another word, Chiang Xiao reached out to Meng Xinian, ”Give me fifty yuan.”

Although Meng Xinian didn’t know what she intended to do, his soon-to-be wife was asking for it; he would give her anything, not to mention money.

He immediately took out a stack of bills and placed it in her hand.

Chiang Xiao counted it, ”One hundred and twenty. Alright, I’m selling these paintings to you. Take good care of them.”

Then she waved the stack of money at Liu Guohua and said, ”Teacher, look, I’ve resold your painting and made a profit of seventy!”

Feng Daji glared at his own wife.

How foolish, can’t you see that this outstanding young man is the rich one? How great it would have been to sell to him!

One hundred and twenty!

Seeing that they still harbored such thoughts at this time, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.

”This matter is settled, so let’s move on to the second matter. Didn’t you say the teacher stole some sort of jade material from your home?”

”Yes, yes! Do you know what jade material is?” The woman looked down at Chiang Xiao with pride in her tone.

”Isn’t it just the raw stone that yields jade?” Chiang Xiao snorted and said, ”Since you’re landlord and tenant, the solution is straightforward, just call the police!”

”Call the police?”

”Yes, call the police.” Chiang Xiao looked at Liu Guohua and, seeing no objection from him, felt reassured.

Feng Daji shouted, ”Let’s call the police then! Do you think I’m afraid of you? I wonder, once we’re at the police station, Uncle, if you’ll still feel comfortable teaching at the Third Middle School! Let everyone see if they dare to let their children call such a pair of thieves ’teacher’ and ’madam teacher’!”

Upon hearing this, the onlookers also started buzzing with discussion.

Madam Liu’s coughing intensified.

Liu Guoying’s eyes reddened.

This was the epitome of bullying!

Not only were they driving them out, but they were also trying to cut off his means of livelihood!

If he couldn’t continue teaching at the Third Middle School, he would have no money to buy medicine for his wife. She was just starting to get better, but these past few days, the stress and anger had aggravated her condition again.

It was only the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and he felt extremely embarrassed about having to move into an old friend’s home with his sick wife. If his problems caused any trouble at the Third Middle School and affected Meng Xinian, how could he have the face to stay any longer?

Chiang Xiao’s expression turned cold.

Meng Xinian had already patted her shoulder, ”You go inside with the teacher first, I’ll handle things here.”

”Okay.” Without another word, Chiang Xiao went over and supported Madam Liu, ”Madam Teacher, let me help you inside first.”

”Cough cough, okay, cough cough.” Madam Liu’s eyes reddened, as it had been a long time since anyone aside from her husband dared to make such direct contact with her.
