Liang Mei broke off a piece of the soft, fragrant steamed bun and put it in her mouth. The bun, once broken open, revealed its dense, fluffy interior, which looked absolutely beautiful.
Not to mention the subtle sweetness that melts in your mouth without you having to chew it.
"What's up?"
Liang Mei stared at Lin Chaosheng with her bright eyes, reluctantly swallowing the steamed bun in her mouth.
"From today onwards, our family will be debt-free."
Lin Chaosheng looked at Liang Mei and Liang Fu and solemnly announced, "I have paid off all my debts today."
"What!" Liang Fu was so shocked that she dropped her chopsticks on the ground. She quickly picked them up and wiped them with her clothes.
Liang Mei stared at Lin Chaosheng in shock, feeling as if she were dreaming.
Why do these past few days feel like a dream? Did she get a fever one day and then faint, and all of this is just a dream?
"Chao, Chao Sheng, is what you said true?"
"Is it even possible that it's fake?"
Lin Chaosheng smiled as he watched the two sisters' identical reactions. Not to mention that they didn't believe it, if he hadn't been given a second chance at life, he himself wouldn't have believed that he could pay off all the debts that had tormented him for a lifetime in just a few days.
"The big boss of that gambling den burned all my IOUs right in front of me. He also reached a long-term cooperation agreement with me. In the future, if I have any extra meat, I can send it to him to exchange for fine grains, and maybe I can get more money and tickets."
“Money and banknotes are practically useless now,” Liang Fu said excitedly, her face flushed. “If you ask me, we should exchange more rice and flour; they’re so delicious.”
After saying that, Liang Fu picked up a piece of meat, placed it on the glistening rice, and shoveled it into her mouth. Her cheeks were bulging as she ate, and she looked very innocent and cute.
"This famine will eventually pass. Our family has the means and opportunity now, so it's fine to save up some money and coupons, just in case."
Lin Chaosheng was a person who had been reborn from his previous life, so he naturally knew that the world would undergo earth-shattering changes in twenty years.
Although he was already forty years old at that time, he was in his prime and caught the wave of going into business. It was not impossible for him to turn his life around and become a big boss.
Lin Chaosheng became more and more excited as he thought about it, wishing he could go up the mountain now and hunt two more wild boars to save up his capital!
"Chaosheng, is this what you just wanted to tell me?"
Liang Mei's voice brought Lin Chaosheng back to his senses. He immediately pulled his wandering reason back and said to Liang Mei, "It's not just this."
Looking at Liang Mei's expectant gaze, Lin Chaosheng suddenly hesitated again. After all, he was living a good life with Liang Mei and Liang Fu, and was relatively free.
If his parents and Shansheng move in again, it might make the two sisters feel uncomfortable.
Lin Chaosheng was lost in thought, while Liang Mei looked at him with confusion, not understanding why he stopped halfway through his sentence.
"What's wrong, brother-in-law?" Liang Fu, clutching half a steamed bun, looked at the suddenly awkward atmosphere between Lin Chaosheng and Liang Mei and said somewhat uncomfortably, "Is it because I'm sitting here that you're embarrassed to say something? Then let me..."
“It’s not your fault,” Lin Chaosheng said, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his handsome face. “It’s my own fault.”
"What I'm trying to say is that our family is now debt-free and carefree. It's only July now, but it will get cold quickly after autumn, and our house won't be able to withstand the winter."
Liang Mei instantly understood what he meant and immediately smiled, "You want to use the money to renovate our house, right? That's a good thing, why would I disagree? Besides, you're the one who makes all the decisions for our family..."
Liang Mei lowered her head and continued eating. The fragrant meat, the soft white steamed buns, and the glistening, sweet white rice were a meal she would never forget.
"That's true, but from now on, we'll still leave the internal affairs of our family to you." Lin Chaosheng grinned, showing his bright white teeth. "You'll be in charge of family matters, but as for business, you'll listen to me. We'll discuss spending money together, okay?"
Liang Mei was deeply moved after hearing Lin Chaosheng's words.
Such thoughts never crossed her mind. In her heart, even during the period when Lin Chaosheng was a scoundrel, he was still the pillar and backbone of the family. He was the undisputed leader of this family.
But what is he saying now? He's actually saying he's willing to hand over the housekeeping duties to me, this is simply...
Liang Mei didn't know what to say, so she just nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
"I don't mean to renovate our house, but to demolish all these houses and rebuild them."
Liang Mei stared wide-eyed in shock. "What? Rebuild the house! How much will that cost?!"
"Yes, brother-in-law! And there's really no need for that, is there? I think our house is pretty good."
Seeing the two Liang sisters looking at him, Lin Chaosheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm thinking of demolishing this house and building a big new courtyard. I'll bring my parents and Shansheng to live with us..."
After saying that, Lin Chao was afraid that Liang Mei and Liang Fu would misunderstand, so he quickly said, "Of course, what I mean is to discuss it with you two first. If it doesn't work out, then I will also renovate their house."
Liang Mei and Liang Fu exchanged a glance. Liang Fu didn't say anything, after all, she was just her sister-in-law. It was already a favor that Lin Chaosheng gave her to be able to stay here. In other families, would they let their sister-in-law, who was not related by blood, eat and stay at their home for free?
Liang Mei thought for two minutes before speaking, "Chaosheng, I agree with your approach."
Lin Chaosheng initially thought the matter was off when Liang Mei didn't speak up immediately, but even so, he had no resentment, as it was only natural.
Historically, very few daughters-in-law have been willing to live with their mothers-in-law.
But to my surprise, Liang Mei actually agreed!
“Chaosheng, I agree with you.” Liang Mei put down her chopsticks, her expression serious. “It is only natural to be filial to one’s parents. When you married me, you said you wanted to move out, but I didn’t agree to that.”
"I'm glad you have this idea, so go ahead and do whatever you want."
"Besides, my parents are getting older and they'll be living with us. They'll have someone to chat with, and they won't have to cook for us. Xiao Fu and I can also take care of them. I think it's great."
Liang Mei was very insightful, and Liang Fu quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right. If my sister gets pregnant and has a baby, my aunts and the others can help take care of the baby."
