Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Finally on sale
After making up her mind, Lin Chunju began counting the days every day.
Every time her eldest returned from the city, his mother would pull him aside to ask one question.
“How is it, has it been built over there?”
Yue Jiandong could only honestly answer.
“The foundation has been laid, the house is being built,” he said.
“I think it’s almost halfway done.”
“I estimate it will take another month to finish.”
Over time, Yue Jiandong had gotten completely used to it and would report proactively every time he came back.
“Mom, I went and asked the foreman today, the progress is going quite smoothly,” he said.
As spring turned to summer, the days passed by one after another.
The Yue family’s life was going very smoothly.
Yue Xiaofang’s tailor shop was doing very well, and she was saving more and more money.
She took the opportunity to deposit it in a city bank.
When she returned and showed the bankbook to her family, everyone was amazed.
“Xiaofang has made so much money without a fuss,” they said.
Embarrassed, Yue Xiaofang smiled and pushed the passbook into Lin Chunju’s chest, “Well, we are about to buy a house, so this is my contribution.”
Lin Chunju expressed her discontent: “I have everything prepared for you, and the money you made from selling stuff in the city before is also with me.”
“Just keep it for me. I’ll take it when I need it later,” Yue Xiaofang replied impishly, sticking out her tongue with a hint of girlishness.
Helpless, Lin Chunju nodded, “I’ll keep it for now. Use this money when you open a store in the city.”
Zhang Ying and Wang Xiaoni exchanged glances and both couldn’t help but laugh.
In the past, the villagers disliked Xiaofang for being a divorced woman and hesitated to let her make things.
But once they learned that the city folks admired Xiaofang’s craftsmanship, everyone’s attitude changed.
Now they took pride in wearing clothes made by Xiaofang, as if putting them on made them as respectable as city dwellers.
This was probably the explosion of turning exports to domestic sales.
As Yue Xiaofang’s business thrived, Dong Cuifen came to her door several times, wanting to introduce her to potential suitors.
Now, the village didn’t care about second marriages anymore.
After all, wealth moves the heart; in their eyes, Xiaofang’s tailor shop had become a golden goose, and whoever could take it home would strike it rich.
With Qiu Maode as a cautionary tale, Lin Chunju refused them all one by one.
She also rejected those who wanted to marry into the family with her youngest son.
If this had happened before, the Yue family would have been criticized for being too picky.
But now, they were about to move to the city and buy a house, transforming into city folks; being a bit picky was only natural.
This made many people regret not recognizing the Yue family’s potential earlier; they would have married their daughters into the family long ago.
Finally, amidst Lin Chunju’s anticipation, Yue Jiandong came back from the city one day with some great news.
“Mom, the house in the city is ready, and they’ll start selling the day after tomorrow,” he announced.
Lin Chunju stood up joyfully, “Great! Then we’ll go to the city the day after tomorrow.”
Zhang Ying felt both happiness and a twinge of sadness. Although settling down in the city was exciting,
the thought of parting with her co-wife saddened her.
However, Wang Xiaoni was purely joyful and quietly comforted Zhang Ying.
“It’s okay, you can still visit often. Transportation is much more convenient now,” she said.
To avoid any accidents, Lin Chunju decided to take Yue Qingqing with her.
Standing at the bus stop with the young and the old, Lin Chunju occasionally touched the household registration book and passbook in her pocket, her heart fluttering with excitement.
Yue Jiandong looked up at the overcast sky and gave a wry smile.
“Mom, the sale doesn’t start until noon; you woke up too early,” he said.
Although superstitions had been debunked by now, people still preferred to seek auspiciousness.
The newly finished residential area had specifically chosen noon for the ribbon-cutting, probably for some blessings of a prosperous beginning.
If they went now, who knew how long they would have to wait?
Lin Chunju realized she might have been a bit overeager and coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment.
“It’s okay, it gives us a chance to check on the youngster. He’s been there for a few months now; who knows what he has learned?” she remarked.
