Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 487: Chapter 488: The Trickery Behind

But she certainly couldn’t show weakness in front of Chiang Xiao now!

So she raised her voice and called out, ”Say it, if you’ve got the guts, have Chiang Laoer say it himself in the village! Without my old man, could Chiang Songhai have what he has today? Now that there’s a bit of difficulty at home, and he, Chiang Laoer, hems and haws when asked for a little help. I too will go to the village and have a talk. I want to see where Chiang Laoer can put his face!”

”If you have something to say, just say it,” Chiang Xiao said with her arms crossed, looking at her. ”Let’s hear it because I’m actually a bit curious just how shameless a person can be.”

Ho Laidi completely ignored the ’shameless’ remark and said righteously, ”Your Second Uncle is looking to date. It’s inconvenient for him to live in the village. You have so many rooms here, so clean up two rooms, one for your Second Uncle to live in, and one for me and your great-uncle to keep. We won’t come often, just occasionally for a day or two. Mainly, it’s for your Second Uncle, he’ll live here from now on. When he’s done dating and wants to marry, I’ll give you two handkerchiefs, a red envelope, and a package of peanut candy!”

Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao was outright dumbfounded.

Because she really couldn’t imagine that Ho Laidi and Chiang Songtao could have the audacity to that extent!

To have Chiang Baohe come and live here, and to stay for a long time at that? And, the two of them wouldn’t even come often, just now and then for a day or two. Does this mean they’re dumping Chiang Baohe on them to take care of?

Hahaha!

What a joke, she is offering so many ”generous” gifts! Just look at the pained expression on Ho Laidi’s face when she mentions these few items, as if giving them away was like cutting her own flesh!

Chiang Xiao could bet that if it ever came to that day, the red envelope would contain no more than one dollar at most!

A person’s skin can be thicker than she could ever imagine, and Chiang Xiao had to admit she was impressed.

After such a proposal by Ho Laidi, Chiang Xiao couldn’t even get angry. Really, what’s the point of getting angry with a shameless old woman? Might as well consider her barking like a dog!

Ge Xiaotong gave her a ”Can you believe the nerve?” look. Chiang Xiao just shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she too was enlightened.

However, she was still a bit curious about Chiang Baohe having a dating prospect. Who could he possibly have as a match? And someone from the town at that?

”Chiang Baohe is dating someone?” she asked.

Ho Laidi, tired of pointing out Chiang Xiao’s tendency to address them directly by name, just glared at her and said, ”Your future Second Aunt-in-law is from the town, a teacher!” She looked somewhat proud and smug, ”There you go, our village is far away, and your Second Uncle has trouble with his leg, so it’s not convenient for him to, you know, build a relationship with your Second Aunt-in-law. That’s why he needs to move closer to town!”

She even started talking about ’building a relationship.’

This was definitely not something the old Ho Laidi would say!

Chiang Xiao frowned slightly, suddenly sensing that there was something she didn’t know behind all this. Knowing that they were renting here and coming up with such a suggestion, could this be something Ho Laidi, who could only fight and curse violently, actually come up with?

But now, Chiang Xiao understood that the so-called future Second Aunt-in-law Ho Laidi mentioned must be referring to Zou Xiaoling.

After all this time, Chiang Baohe still hadn’t given up on Zou Xiaoling. Could it be that he shifted all his obsession with getting married onto Zou Xiaoling?

”I don’t care who Chiang Baohe wants to date or whether he can get married, but one thing’s for sure—there’s no way he’s moving in,” Chiang Xiao thought to herself, but her voice showed no hint of softening.
