Chapter 53 Lacking Money
Lin Chuxia really had no idea that Qin Han developed such animosity towards Su Wensong just from one visit to the store.
The next day, Sun Lanlan came over, and with her, her third brother Sun Bingnan.
As soon as she arrived at the store, Sun Lanlan started talking to Lin Chuxia about marriage prospects, "The moment my mom heard that my third brother and I were coming to the city to work, she didn’t hesitate to call off the arranged marriage that wasn’t set in stone. That’s all in the past now. She also said that with a job in the city, I should work hard. Once you’re employed here, any future matchmakers will have to think twice. If not a city-dweller, at least someone who works in the city."
This outcome was within Lin Chuxia’s expectations. The villagers, generation after generation of farmers, dreamed of escaping the fields. There had been no opportunity before, but with relaxed policies now, and with Sun Lanlan securing a job in the city, why would Aunt Sun want her to marry a farmer and return to village life?
With the addition of Sun Lanlan and Sun Bingnan, work in the shop suddenly became much easier.
After acclimatizing the two newcomers to the job for a couple of days, Lin Chuxia felt comfortable leaving them to it and went with Su Wensong to look for houses.
Su Wensong had already checked out a few places in those two days, two of which were quite well-located: one was for rent only, the other could be either rented or sold.
Lin Chuxia first visited the closer one, a courtyard with three rooms but no side rooms, which made it appear quite spacious. The owner had moved to a new family building and only wanted to rent the courtyard, mentioning they still had elderly relatives in the countryside who might move into the city when they got older.
The yard looked quite suitable, spacious enough for any kind of arrangement.
However, Lin Chuxia didn’t rush to make a decision and went to check out the slightly more distant one.
