At the age of 20, Zhong Hui married Ge Zhihua, a man from the same village, despite her parents' objections.
Eight years into the marriage, they had a lovely daughter. She thought that al...
Chapter 34 Spending Money to Be Happy
"Boss Zhong, the furniture here is all imported. Look, these sofas are all made of real leather." Boss Zhu from the furniture store was introducing his furniture with great enthusiasm.
"Three of you, please have some water." The sales lady then poured each of them a glass of water.
Zhong Hui took it and thanked him, then started walking around the furniture store.
The furniture styles at Boss Zhu's place are quite trendy and look high-end.
Zhong Hui walked around and quickly picked out a set of sofas, two wardrobes, a TV cabinet, and two beds.
"Wow, this princess bed is so beautiful, pink and tender. Linlin will definitely like it." Yang Fangqin said immediately when she saw the bed.
Zhong Hui smiled and nodded. She also fell in love with it at first sight. Girls just like these pink things.
"Sister-in-law, have you made your choice?"
"I've made my choice, but your brother is still choosing a sofa. I've never seen him so focused on it before, but today he's actually getting so worked up over it."
Zhong Hui smiled and walked over to take a look.
Seeing her coming, Zhong Xiong waved quickly: "Hui, come and take a look. Lao Zhu said this sofa set is American style. It looks good to me. It's made of real leather. Would you like to try it?"
Zhong Hui looked over and saw a set of brown sofas with high backrests. She tried sitting on them and said, "It's quite soft, not bad. It's made of leather, so it's easy to care for."
"Yeah, I feel comfortable too." He crossed his legs like an old man and put his hands on the backrest.
"Wife, can we have this set?" Zhong Xiong said to Yang Fangqin again.
"Okay, just take a look at what you like." Yang Fangqin nodded. This brown one was at least better looking than the black one.
"Okay, I'll take this set." Zhong Xiong waved his hand and called the salesperson to prepare to pay.
While the salesperson was settling accounts, Zhong Hui approached Zhong Xiong and asked quietly, "Brother, why aren't the third and fourth sisters here to pick out furniture?"
It was agreed that her eldest and second brothers would buy the house, and she would be responsible for the decoration and pay for the furniture. Zhong Hui thought that her third and fourth sisters would do it.
A few days ago, Zhong Xiong called Zhong Ping and Zhong Li and told them about this. When they heard that their married daughter could get a house, Zhong Ping and Zhong Li were very happy.
Zhong Li, who was feeling uncomfortable, immediately felt relieved and took the initiative to call them.
"Zhong Ping is not free today. She said that the Li family elders finally agreed to the demolition conditions. They signed the contract today and are going to choose a house." Zhong Xiong said with a sneer.
"They finally agreed. In the entire Xiaoli Village, their family probably took the longest to agree."
"That's right. Now their family has become a nail house in Xiaoli Village. The village and the demolition office go to their house every day to do work. I don't know what they are thinking. They keep dragging it out, and the demolition fee is not much. Now, they can't even choose a good resettlement house." Zhong Xiong couldn't help laughing when he talked about this.
Zhong Hui also shook her head. This person is sometimes just too greedy.
"Then why didn't my third sister come?" Zhong Hui was confused. Her fourth sister called her excitedly the day before yesterday and told her that she wanted to buy some furniture and asked her to spend a lot of money.
"Zhong Li is a playboy. She has one idea every now and then. She suddenly called me last night and said that she didn't want to buy a house in Xinhe Community anymore and wanted to buy one in the city. She asked me and your second brother to give her the money directly and she would pool the money together to buy a better house in the city." Zhong Xiong just wanted to shake his head. It had become difficult for him to spend the money.
"If you want to buy a house in the city, that's fine. My third sister and her family already have a house in town, so it's okay to buy one in the city." Zhong Hui was quite supportive.
"I think so too. Anyway, my second brother and I only pay this much money. She can buy it wherever she wants." Zhong Xiong didn't want to care anymore.
"Boss Zhong, the total price of these furnitures is 46,630. Our boss rounded off the number, so the total is 46,000." The salesperson handed over the bill with a smile.
Zhong Xiong took it, glanced at it and handed it to Zhong Hui. Zhong Hui looked at it carefully and found the amount was correct, so she rushed to pay.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I will pay for the furniture. Don't argue with me." Zhong Hui said as she handed over her card.
"I'm your elder brother. Why should I ask you to pay for my furniture?" Zhong Xiong deliberately put on a stern face.
"That's right, we'll pay for it ourselves." Yang Fangqin stopped the sales lady.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you are being so distant with me, aren't you? If it weren't for brother, how could I have built the house so quickly and caught up in the demolition?" Zhong Hui joked, "I'm a rich woman now. I spend money happily. Don't stop me."
"Okay, okay, okay. Now that you have money, things are different. Okay, thank you, big brother." Zhong Xiong had no choice but to agree.
"That's enough for this time, don't let it happen again." Yang Fangqin also said.
"I know, I know." Zhong Hui agreed repeatedly.
After paying the money, they asked them to deliver the furniture to Xinhe Community, and then they prepared to go back.
Just as she walked out of the furniture store, Zhong Hui's phone rang: "Hello."
"Oh, it's Xiao Nie, what's going on?"
"I'm here. Yes, I'm at Donghe Furniture City. Where are you?" Zhong Hui looked around with her phone. "I see you."
On the opposite side, Xiao Nie kept waving at Zhong Hui and soon came jogging over.
"Sister Zhong, what a coincidence! I saw you as soon as you came out. I just happened to like the furniture you mentioned, and the prices are within the range you mentioned, so I called you directly." Xiao Nie explained quickly.
"How about you go and take another look?" Xiao Nie said.
Seeing that Yang Fangqin was a little doubtful, Zhong Hui explained to Zhong Xiong and Yang Fangqin that Xiao Nie was helping her look at the furniture in the two buildings.
"I was saying that this girl looked familiar. It turns out she's the salesperson from Xinhe Community. I've seen her before. You were the one who accompanied me to choose our house." Yang Fangqin said with sudden realization.
"Thank you Sister Yang for remembering me." Xiao Nie smiled happily.
"Okay, since we're already here, let's go and take a look." Zhong Xiong also agreed.
"Hey, Sister Zhong, Sister Yang, Brother Zhong, please come this way." Xiao Nie invited them to come forward.
After walking a few hundred meters and turning a corner, we arrived at a small furniture store.
Xiao Nie showed the furniture he had chosen to Zhong Hui. Zhong Hui looked at it carefully and felt that the styles of the furniture were quite ordinary and the quality was also okay. It would definitely be enough to fit in the rental house.
"How much is this bed?"
"One hundred and twenty," Xiao Nie said, "The boss said that if you want more, we can give you a discount at wholesale price."
Zhong Hui nodded and said, it’s just a rental house, a bed is enough.
Zhong Hui calculated that her two buildings had a total of 288 rooms, so she decided to buy 300 tickets at once so that she could exchange them later if needed.
Seeing that she bought a lot, the boss directly charged her one hundred yuan per ticket. Zhong Hui did not bargain and paid directly.
"Then Sister Zhong, can I help you find someone to clean the place? Once the bed is moved in, you can put up an advertisement and prepare to rent it out." Xiao Nie said again.
"Okay, thank you for your help." Zhong Hui nodded in agreement.
