Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s-Chapter 1556 - 1558: There is Still Hope for the Future

Chiang Xiao paused for a moment, then said in surprise, "Really? Brother Chu is willing to meet someone?"

"Yes, didn’t I tell you yesterday that he went to collect payment? He called this morning from Huali, said your Uncle Huo’s little cousin took a liking to him. Your Uncle Huo persuaded him to stay for two more days, hoping they could spend more time together and see if they’re a good match."

Uncle Huo is the owner of the Huali Tea Garden. Chiang Xiao is technically one of their shareholders now, and sometimes Chu Liang goes over to help collect payments.

However, Chiang Xiao hadn’t expected that Chu Liang might have a marriage prospect over there.

Chu Liang had always said he wasn’t too keen on getting married. He felt fulfilled just working alongside her. On top of that, he was helping the Head Chief’s Wife with her search, and worried that his constant traveling wouldn’t allow him to properly take care of a family.

But now that he’s willing to stay there and meet her, it seems he must be rather fond of Uncle Huo’s little cousin.

"If he really ends up with Uncle Huo’s little cousin, wouldn’t his seniority shift? Uncle would turn into brother!" Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.

Chiang Songhai, seeing her able to joke around like this, felt a sense of relief in his heart.

It seemed that what Little suggested yesterday wasn’t just to placate him—she genuinely wanted them to bring Chiang Qingzhu back.

No matter what the situation is now, as long as Little isn’t too bothered or too heartbroken, he resolved to talk to Qingzhu properly in the future. No matter what, he would strive to learn how to be a good mother and make up for those ten years of lost affection to Little.

With a heart as kind as Little’s, what feelings couldn’t be reconciled?

It was their past failure in raising their daughter, but starting now, they could learn anew and help Qingzhu to change her character for the better.

Thinking about the promising future, Chiang Songhai grew more and more hopeful, his mood lifting greatly.

Last night, he and his wife had agreed not to mention the struggles Chiang Qingzhu endured in the past. It was all behind them now. She’d spent the last ten years living a life of luxury. Perhaps she’d already overcome her hardships. If they brought it up again and caused her pain by rehashing old wounds, it would be like pouring salt on them.

If it weren’t for Chiang Xiao’s family matters, Wang Yi might truly have been charmed by their courtyard.

She felt that sitting under the trees with a book, breathing in the floral scents and reading away the afternoon, was a perfect way to spend her time.

Moreover, Chiang Xiao’s family served delightful flower teas and snacks.

It was practically a dream—like the life of immortals. frёewebηovel.cѳm

The flowers, the tea, and the uniquely serene fragrance of the courtyard calmed her heart, allowing her to think clearly, even about her relationship with Chen Yin.

She lingered until around five in the afternoon before finally hearing a knock at the door.

Chiang Songhai had spent almost the entire day bustling back and forth in the courtyard, though there wasn’t much to do. Everyone could tell that he was waiting for Chiang Qingzhu.

But now, when the knock truly sounded, he suppressed his excitement and sat himself down on the sofa in the living room.

Ge Liutao was also visibly excited. She glanced at Chiang Xiao, who instead gave a wave to Meng Xinian. "Let’s avoid her for now—otherwise she might feel awkward."

Wang Yi got up as well, saying, "I’ll head back to my room then."

In an instant, they all found places to retreat to.

Ge Liutao had no choice but to float over step by step to open the door.

When the door opened, she didn’t see the daughter she’d been waiting for. Instead, she first spotted a man, who seemed not much younger than them.

"Madam, hello."
