Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1393: Chapter 1395: On Betrothal Gifts, You’re the First

Meng Xinian said with annoyance, ”Two million? Where can I find so much money? Two hundred thousand.”

Hiss.

Chiang Xiao gasped in astonishment.

Two hundred thousand for a courtyard house in this location?

In the future, this property could be worth a few billion...

She was flabbergasted.

She dumbfoundedly grabbed Meng Xinian’s arm and said, ”Are there any more for sale? Let’s buy a few more!”

Thump, thump, thump, three times, Meng Xinian flicked her forehead thrice.

He said with a mix of annoyance and amusement, ”You think these are cabbages to buy? Even if we were talking about cabbages, I couldn’t even bring back a penny now. These two hundred thousand, I gathered by selling a few old jade pieces from home and got Chen Yin to sell them, and even borrowed fifty thousand from him. But don’t worry about this fifty thousand, I previously did some investment with him. There will be income, and when we make money, we can let him deduct it.”

Saying so, he gently touched the spot on her forehead he had flicked and sighed, ”Do you think I’m not very capable? Having to scrape together money just to buy you a courtyard house?”

Although he felt he wasn’t very good at making money, compared to Chiang Xiao, he truly was poor as could be, and moreover, Chiang Xiao would probably earn even more in the future, whereas he couldn’t. But still, he spoke honestly to Chiang Xiao, not wanting to brag in front of her.

Chiang Xiao: ”...”

Looking at Comrade Officer Meng, she truly had nothing to say.

What could she say?

In ’84, having two hundred thousand means being poor?

In ’84, being able to buy a siheyuan as a gift means lacking capability?

She really wanted to yell at him: Tyrant Meng, you gave me a few billion!

”Tyrant Meng,” she took a deep breath, stood on her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked at him intently, ”I want to tell you something serious.”

”Uh?”

”Even if it’s just for the dowry, you are definitely in the top rank, for real, I belong to you now, you’ve bought me!”

Meng Xinian: ”...”

Is this her idea of being serious?

”Silly Little, you think you’re only worth two hundred thousand? Silly or not?”

”I... now I feel like I’m a priceless treasure!”

Alright, they still weren’t on the same page!

But, that shop, and this siheyuan, in another two or three decades, will surely raise her net worth to make it on the list of the wealthiest women in the country!

And yet, the man in front of her still wore a face as if he hadn’t given her the best, as if she was wronged.

She was truly dumbfounded.

How could there be such a generously clueless man!

He was already so well-off himself, and if other women knew how generous his gifts were, they would probably all want to snatch him up!

Chiang Xiao looked at his handsome face, suddenly felt elated, and smiling with joy, she offered her lips.

”Forget it, forget it, you’re mine for this lifetime! No one can take you away!”

Meng Xinian wrapped his arms around her waist, happy to accept her kiss, ”Mm, I’m yours, and also in the next life.”

The two stood at the door of another room, sharing a deep, lingering kiss.

Chiang Xiao felt that she wasn’t a vain and materialistic woman, but faced with such a gift, she couldn’t help becoming ecstatic.

It was only after settling down and listening to Meng Xinian that she realized buying this house hadn’t been easy at all.

Since last year when she brought it up, he had had people keeping an eye on houses in this area, focusing on this particular part after giving up on the area across the street.

But no one here was willing to sell their house. He didn’t give up, even having Chen Yin help him look further afield.
