Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060 Cuihua’s Plan
Lai Jinhai’s eyes lit up, he nodded quickly and said, “Not hard.”
Madam Li was pleased, no matter what, her son-in-law landed a job, and Cuihua will have a good life, right?
Lu Erbai’s renovation team now has four preliminary members: himself, Craftsman Zheng, Liang Wangsheng, and Lai Jinhai.
Tomorrow, they can go to fix Third Lu’s house. The house isn’t big, and there’s not much to renovate, so four people are quite enough.
Besides that, Lu Erbai also needs to find a shop.
After renting the shop, it needs to be renovated, and some samples have to be set up.
At the moment, there’s really a lot to do, it’s going to be busy.
After having dinner, the family retired for the night, everyone was exhausted from a long day, there’s truly no energy left for staying up for late-night talks.
However, after briefly going back to their room, Cuihua and Lai Jinhai came out again, found Lu Dasong and Madam Li, and called Lanhua and Erniu over to talk as well.
Everyone looked puzzled, quite bewildered.
What’s there to discuss at this late hour, instead of resting?
Cuihua placed her sleeping son on her parents’ bed, then sat down and said, “Dad, Mom, Jinhai and I have discussed, and we plan to rent a house in the county town.”
“Rent a house?”
Cuihua nodded, “Jinhai will be working with Uncle, it’s certainly more convenient to live in the county town. Since he’s here, I don’t want to go back to the Lai Family, might as well rent a house here.”
The Lai Family is always noisy, often fighting endlessly over trivial matters.
Now the Lai Family hasn’t split, Jinhai has to give a portion of his earnings to his parents. But if they rent outside, the money they give back will be much less.
Moreover, living outside is always a bit freer, you’re in control of what you want to eat and drink yourself. No need to sneak around buying clothes and supplies for the son, worrying others might find out.
No need either for the daughters-in-law to rotate cooking, with noise in the courtyard in the early morning. Cuihua and her husband hardly mind about sleep, but with a young son always getting startled, Cuihua truly feels heartbroken.
She’s long wanted to find a chance to move out, now that Yu has just bee the Village Chief, her husband’s family is acmodating her. If they don’t move now, when should they?
However, Madam Li listened and frowned, she thought it unnecessary, “Since Jinhai is working with your uncle, then why don’t you just live here? Your uncle’s house is so big, there’s enough room for more people. Look at this house, how nice it is, outside houses can’t pare. At home, servants do the laundry and cooking, why go rent a house outside, really don’t understand…”
“Mom!” Cuihua’s face darkened. She is the eldest daughter of the Lu family, older than Daniu by several years, her words carry a lot of weight, Madam Li occasionally feels intimidated by her.
Seeing her expression now, for some reason, Madam Li’s heart flinched a bit, causing her to shrink her neck slightly, “Wh-what?”
“Mom, don’t mention those things again, this is Uncle’s house, not Grandmother’s, understand?”
More accurately, this is the house the Emperor bestowed upon Yu.
If it were Grandmother’s house, Cuihua as a granddaughter could borrow it for convenience.
But there’s no reason a niece would live with her son-in-law and daughter in her uncle’s house, or even her cousin’s house, that wouldn’t make sense?
Wouldn’t she lose face? Wouldn’t she want to maintain good relations with relatives?
