Chapter 535 - 533: Settling Accounts Clearly
Lady Lin had been in high spirits the last couple of days due to her efforts in clashing with the Sun Family, earning herself a few days of good favor from Old Granny Zhang, she couldn’t help but get excited, "Mother, Jindou and his brother are also of age, it’s time for matchmaking and maybe next year they will bring home a bride. Why not also make a set of furniture for each of the brothers?"
After all, the wood is readily available in the household and so is the master carpenter. With such excellent craftsmanship, who wouldn’t want a piece of the glory?
Old Granny Zhang pretended not to hear and instructed the two carpenters, "Gentlemen, please focus on the furniture for the room next door for my son-in-law first. He doesn’t have anything over there. Go with him later to take a look and measure the dimensions, see what needs to be made. We have the materials, and rest assured about your wages."
The generosity of the Wang Family was something everyone had become aware of these days; the two carpenters didn’t think much of it, and off they went to Song Chongjin’s courtyard.
The first thing to do was to get the measurements of the rooms right. It would be quite the joke if they ended up making furniture too big to fit through the door.
Master Chiang and his men were also busy setting up the beams and rafters.
That left the Wang Family members alone. No one dared to say anything, but they all knew that once the new house was ready for occupancy, Song Chongjin would be moving out soon.
Everyone knew his situation. He was leaving with nothing, starting afresh.
Everything needed to be purchased anew. Giving priority to his furniture was the sensible thing to do; otherwise, moving into an empty house would hardly seem right.
