Chapter 340: Chapter 340 Moving to a New House 2
So she put on an act and said, “It’s not a big deal, so I didn’t ntion it to you guys. If you hadn’t asked today, I wouldn’t have planned to say anything.”
But the other party was quite cooperative, “Auntie Guihua, you’re really too modest. Buying a house in the city is not a big deal, then what is? Does Brother Changhai have to beco a county mayor for it to be considered important?”
“Ha ha, you think too highly of him. If he could beco a county mayor, I’d be laughing in my dreams.”
Zhang Guihua covered her mouth, trying not to laugh too obviously, “Oh, let’s not talk about this now, I still have to go ho and make bamboo wares for the Eldest.”
The other person nodded in understanding, “You should hurry back then.”
And as soon as the Jiang family mbers walked away, they couldn’t wait to go to other households to share the big news of the day.
Whenever Zhang Guihua encountered soone else asking the sa question on the road, she responded in the sa way.
So in less than ten minutes, most of the villagers knew that Jiang Changhai had bought a house in the city, causing quite a stir in the village.
It was remarkable that no one from their village had ever bought a house in the city before!
It hadn’t been long since Jiang Changhai started working at the transport company, and he was already able to afford a house in the town. Truly, becoming a worker offered the best prospects!
With such a significant event, they had to go and join in on the excitent.
The Jiang family mbers were cutting bamboo in the courtyard when they saw a large group of villagers approaching.
“Wow, what kind of wind brings you all here today? Co in, co in, have a seat,” Zhang Guihua asked knowingly.
“We heard you were going to weave dustpans, and since we were idle at ho, we thought we’d co over to lend a hand. More people an faster work.”
“I really appreciate it, there’s a reason why people say distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.”
Zhang Guihua was not at all polite, bringing out the freshly cut bamboo she had prepared, handing out several strips to each person, and started weaving.
While prying, soone asked, “Sister-in-law, we heard that Changhai bought a house in the city and is moving there in a few days. Is that true or not?”
“Of course, it’s true. We’re going to have hotpot in the city tomorrow,” Zhang Guihua said with a tone full of pride and satisfaction.
Upon receiving confirmation, everyone began to praise Jiang Changhai, “Sister-in-law, how did you raise such a capable son? It hasn’t been long, and Changhai is already becoming a city dweller. He’s really capable.”
“Isn’t that the truth? We’ve all seen the changes in Changhai over the past year. They say a prodigal who returns is more precious than gold, and wasn’t Changhai that tily returning prodigal?”
“From now on, you and your husband will enjoy good fortune!”
As she listened, the smile on Zhang Guihua’s face grew wider and wider, and any last bit of resentnt she felt dissipated completely.
Though he didn’t show it externally, Jiang Dashan was proud to have such a capable son.
The second son and his wife were also happy for the eldest, and with the eldest’s success, the youngest son would have more opportunities in the future.
Jiang Changtao and Sun Lixia, on the other hand, were so jealous they could barely stand it, yet they also felt a resigned admiration.
After the joy, Zhang Guihua sighed, “Ah, it’s not as good as you make it sound. Life in the city isn’t that easy, everything is going to cost money.”
The villagers replied, “Sure, you spend more in the city, but you earn more too. Definitely better than toiling in the fields here. With Changhai at the transport company, he’s got to be making dozens of yuan a month, right?”
