In her previous life, Cheng Hui was soft-hearted and muddled, and lived a miserable life.
Under the tears of her stepmother, she gave her job to her sister and went to the countryside for her...
Chapter 967 Who wouldn’t be thinking about this?
Liu Di felt that what Cheng Hui said made sense. After she got married, if her in-laws wanted to live in her house, she would actually have no way to stop them.
She was actually worried about this matter, but she didn't know what to do. She could only put it off one day at a time, as she didn't want to expose it too early.
Now that Cheng Hui said she would help her solve it, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, Cheng Hui, Gao Zhi and others went to decorate Liu Di's new home, bringing in furniture and appliances, pasting wedding characters and hanging streamers.
Once the furniture was brought in, the entire style of the house changed, from a simple rental to something out of reach.
Only then did Liu Di know what gift Cheng Hui had given her, and she felt both happy and nervous.
She carefully touched the carved furniture: "Is this the furniture for export? 30,000 US dollars a set? This is too expensive! I dare not use it. I will be heartbroken if it gets bumped. Xiaohui, you should give me something else. I only want home appliances, not furniture."
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "These are all similar styles, but with different patterns. I bought the wood myself and asked the master craftsman to make them after get off work. I only paid for the labor of a few people, which added up to more than 1,000 yuan."
Everyone took time out to work for two hours every day, and the overtime pay was three yuan per person. It took five people more than two months to complete the task, saving a lot of money.
Liu Di breathed a sigh of relief. 1,000 RMB is actually a lot, but compared to 30,000 US dollars, it suddenly seemed like less.
Moreover, with the current furniture market, even ordinary furniture would cost more than 1,000 yuan. Now that she has received such a good set, she has got a great bargain.
She is also a mortal, and it is impossible for her not to take advantage of such a great opportunity.
She will be able to pay back this 1,000 yuan gift in the future.
Cheng Hui added: "And these home appliances are also defective. Look, there's a dent here, the paint has fallen off here, and I don't know how this one got burned, but it's changed color. They don't meet export standards, so we're selling them at an internal discount of 10%."
This is also the truth, defective products are just that cheap.
Every employee likes to buy defective products. They are in great demand and one has to draw lots to buy them.
Liu Di took note of this favor, but she didn't say anything else and told him to see her back later.
After the furniture was in place, Gao Zhi and the others began to arrange the soft furnishings.
Now the three of them have been taught how to decorate their homes. Since they usually have nothing to do, they try to figure out how to make the house better looking and cozier.
Once the table lamps, cushions, pillows and murals are put in place, the room looks upscale.
Liu Di was so happy that she felt a little uncomfortable: "Is this a place I can live in?"
Although she was born in the city, her family was poor and she never thought she would live such a good life.
She tried hard to save money and never decorated her home because of this kind of thinking. She was afraid that everything was fake and the beauty of it made her unable to believe it. Only by trying to live like her previous life could she feel at ease.
In the words of the elderly, this is called not being able to enjoy happiness.
In the words of young people, this is called eating without suffering.
Gao Zhi didn't have that mentality. Even though she was poorer than Liu Di when she was young, she adapted well to a better life: "Sister-in-law, I want to decorate my house like this! I'm still young and I have to go to college. I don't know how many years it will take to get married. You can give me a set of furniture like this now, and I'll decorate my house!"
Gao Zhi, who had a job, naturally also got a house.
Just downstairs from Liu Di’s building.
Gao Qiao and Gao Xiu drew lots to live in a different building. They all lived in the same residential complex and were assigned the same house, a 100-square-meter apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms.
The two of them were also somewhat moved and looked at Cheng Hui eagerly, but they were not as bold as Gao Zhi and did not dare to say it out loud.
In recent years, they have also felt that their sister-in-law is obviously closer to Gao Zhi than to them.
They don’t know why, and they don’t dare to ask, so they can only work harder.
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "Okay, I have both."
Gao Zhi was satisfied, and looked at the big house again, especially the two empty secondary bedrooms, and said with some annoyance: "Who wouldn't be tempted by such a big house? Not to mention people who don't have a house. I heard that Qiao Dong's family is quite short of houses."
Liu Di did not regard them as outsiders and said whatever she wanted to say: "Yes, his family was also allocated a house in a tube building, with two bedrooms and a living room, 50 square meters, but there are 8 people in his family. His parents gave birth to 6 children. He is the eldest, and he has three younger brothers and two younger sisters. Only one younger brother is eloquent, and he found an only daughter and lives with his father-in-law.
"The remaining two younger brothers are in their 20s and still haven't married. The two younger sisters used to work in the countryside and took the college entrance examination this time, but they didn't pass. They said they would stay a few more years and take the exam a second time."
Another reason why Qiao Dong didn't get married until he was 29 was that his family was poor.
Gao Zhi was worried after hearing this: "Oh my god, you have two empty rooms here, won't they miss them?"
Nowadays people don’t mind living in the same house with their brothers and sisters. They don’t need to have it all to themselves. It’s great to have their own room.
Liu Di said: "I thought so too, so I didn't dare to tell them before. I know that if I had told them earlier that I had this house, I would have been married earlier."
But she wanted to see if Qiao Dong would like her and marry her if she relied on herself instead of the house.
This was her last resort. She also wanted to find a man who was not after her money but only after her as a person.
Fortunately, Qiao Dong passed the test. Although his family disagreed, Qiao Dong himself really wanted to marry her.
"Sister-in-law, what should we do?" Gao Zhi asked Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui asked Liu Di: "Do you want them to live with you? Do you want me to be a good daughter-in-law and live in harmony with you?"
Liu Di didn't say it before because she wanted to test people's hearts. Now that the test is over, maybe she is willing to share her house with the Qiao family?
It's no wonder she asked such a question. Some love-brained women like to devote everything to their husband's family. They use the house bought by their parents to honor their husband's family, work like a slave for them, and even involve their biological parents.
Liu Di said, "I don't want to. It's easier to invite gods than to send them away. If they move in, they won't be able to move out. I will have children in the future. These two bedrooms are just right for one son and one daughter. If they come, where will my children live?"
She had suffered all kinds of grievances since she was a child, but she didn't want her children to suffer any more.
Besides, she knew what kind of person Cheng Hui was. If she dared to ask the Qiao family to come and live with her, she would not interfere in her affairs anymore...
That won’t work. She now considers Cheng Hui as her family member and her backbone.
Cheng Hui was relieved: "Then invite them over to discuss the marriage."
As for the solution, she had already thought about it and had not told Liu Di, but she believed that the money-loving Liu Di would definitely agree.
Liu Di trusted Cheng Hui very much. After Cheng Hui took over the matter, she no longer cared about it and just did whatever Cheng Hui told her to do. She immediately went to invite the Qiao family over.
