Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 1143: Agreement

Chengzi continued, "Among us brothers, because I insisted on going to protect my eldest sister-in-law, perhaps she felt I lost my opportunity. So, I’m the one with a house."

Mrs. Li nodded. This was a gift for Chengzi. Such a house costs quite a bit and isn’t easy to buy either.

Opening the door to the living room, the furniture inside was particularly well-preserved, and upon entering, a pleasant fragrance filled the air, a deep sandalwood scent.

Mrs. Li kept nodding. This living room didn’t need any work at all. On each side of the living room, there were small kitchens and a tea room. There was also a study and a lounge.

"This house must have belonged to a wealthy family in the past."

"I really didn’t know. My sister-in-law asked me to notify the neighborhood committee around here. She said, if there’s a house, let her know.

When we came to see, the owner asked for money, and my sister-in-law didn’t haggle at all and agreed right away."

The section at the back was quite spacious. It had five main rooms, with side rooms on each side.

They looked at each room, and each was well-equipped.

"Not bad, really wonderful," Li Xiaoyu’s sister-in-law exclaimed.

"I think so too, this is the best house I’ve ever seen."

"But tidying it up is such a hassle."

They could all tell that Chengzi had indeed put a lot of effort into cleaning up; every room was quite tidy.

Mrs. Li brought a measuring tape and started measuring the bed in the master bedroom, as they were preparing for the daughter’s marriage, and needed to arrange the dowry.

They didn’t have the capacity to furnish all these rooms, but setting up the master bedroom was no problem at all.

The two sisters-in-law also chipped in to help.

Chengzi smiled and asked Li Xiaoyu beside him, "How do you find the house?"

Li Xiaoyu nodded excitedly, "I love it very much, it’s really wonderful."

"I quite like it too. I remember coming back now and then, and my sister-in-law told me. The furniture at home is the best, and I must take good care of it."

"Your sister-in-law really has an eye for things."

"That’s right. Once you meet her, you’ll understand." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Mrs. Li finished measuring and was extremely satisfied with the house.

Looking at the small flowerbed in the yard, this was her favorite part. But, there was no space at her own home for planting flowers.

Thankfully, her father-in-law only had one son, or else living together would be even more troublesome.

This shows that her daughter’s destiny is indeed quite good. The conditions are excellent.

"Aunt Li, do you think there is anything else we need to arrange?"

Mrs. Li shook her head, "Nothing is missing, just some daily supplies."

"Hmm. Aunt Li, what do we need? I don’t know, so I’ll write it down and prepare it tomorrow."

Mrs. Li nodded. That would work.

Chengzi drove them back. "Xiao Yu, I’m going to tidy up the house, so I won’t go in."

Mrs. Li got out, "Chengzi, come home for dinner tonight."

Chengzi smiled and shook his head, "Aunt Li, I won’t come over. There’s too much to clean. So many rooms, they all need tidying up."

The Li Family talked about the leader coming to propose marriage tomorrow, and also about the house.

The two daughters-in-law envied their nun-like sister-in-law. Her fortune really seemed destined.

The mother-in-law pampered the sister-in-law. This girl never had to do anything. But she had good fortune, finding a man like that. It’s truly enviable.

The Li Family men were also very pleased. In their hearts, they all felt their daughter’s and sister’s destinies were indeed fortunate.

Chengzi kept tidying up until past ten at night before he finally finished.

He also lit the fire. But he couldn’t stay there because there was no bedding.

Early the next morning, he got up and cleaned again, checked the stove, which was working well.

Then he went to the Li Family. This morning they needed to go to the building for shopping.

When he arrived, Li Xiaoyu had gone to class, thinking she would wait for confirmation before taking leave.

"Aunt Li, if you have time, please come with me."

Chengzi scratched his head a bit embarrassedly. Then he said, "I’ve really never dealt with these things before."

Mrs. Li nodded. "Alright. Let’s go, there are lots of things we need to buy."

The two arrived at the building and started shopping from the first layer. When they couldn’t carry anymore, Chengzi took it to the car.

"Aunt Li, should we make a few more sets of bedding?"

"Ah, there are too many people at home; we don’t have enough coupons." Money is enough, though.

"Aunt, I’ll buy. I have many coupons that I haven’t used for years," Chengzi said, pulling out a stack.

"Alright."

Meanwhile, Da Biao hadn’t even arrived at the garrison by nightfall. He went to find Daqing and got the key to the house assigned to him, right next to Daqing’s, not far from the main family. It was a new house.

"The house has been organized for you. You go to the logistics department to pick up supplies. They’re not off-duty yet, go quickly."

Da Biao moved swiftly, and two young guys from logistics helped bring all the supplies over. Everything was set up.

In the evening, the two of them ate together, "I’m going to register for marriage tomorrow. Need to be in the city by 5 o’clock."

"Then I’ll go with you. Once you’re done over there, I can use the car."

"Alright, the wedding will be held here on Saturday."

"That sounds good, we can arrange it at home."

"After registering tomorrow, I’ll ask Hu Zi to bring me back. I’ll organize the arrangements."

"You’re really quick with things."

"Chengzi should settle it today, right?"

"I’ll see how it goes tomorrow."

Men are like this; once they get the idea of marriage, they can’t wait to get on with it.

"Did the eldest brother and sister-in-law go over today?"

"Yes, our eldest brother and sister-in-law will definitely make an appearance."

"It’s more convenient for me here. We’re both alone."

"That’s true." There are advantages, but also inconveniences.

"Oh, in the future, your wife can transfer here!"

"I’ve thought about it too, but it needs her consent.

I’m quite envious of you two getting together so quickly."

"I didn’t expect it either, it’s mainly because the eldest brother and sister-in-law are useful. The timing was set by the sister-in-law."

"Here, just having dinner with the eldest brother and sister-in-law is enough. We don’t need to discuss it with our family, as long as the two of us agree, it’s fine."

"You should try tomorrow, what’s the point of dragging it out? We’re not the type to mess around."

"That’s how we think, but others are different. Alright. We’ll set off at 3:30, and I’ll be your driver."

The bond between us is clear, truly life-and-death brothers.

Daqing returned home and didn’t rest. The place was especially clean.

After lighting the fire, he began to arrange the supplies from logistics. The blankets were green; there was no way around it, green was green. Tomorrow, he would ask if Xiaoqin didn’t like it, he would buy some fabric and ask the sisters-in-law here to help make a cover.

Once everything was settled, he lay on the kang. Thinking back on the last three days, it felt as if it was all destined, everything had gone so smoothly.

Tomorrow, they would register their marriage, and the day after the next would be the wedding day.
