Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Chapter 57 The House Is Finally Ours

"The situation isn’t settled yet. It’s just that I submitted the proposal I wrote yesterday, and this morning Station Chief Yang talked to me, expressing high regard for my proposal and entrusting me with full responsibility for the next steps of the work. I’ve just gained a little bit more authority, that’s all."

Authority in hand, what does the position matter anymore? It’s only a matter of time.

Speaking of which, Li Jian felt that Lin Chuxia was truly his benefactor. He had been working at the vegetable station for four or five years, always on the front lines, until he met Lin Chuxia, and just a few words from her got him a minor position, and now Station Chief Yang was personally naming him.

This promotion was different from the previous ones. Being handpicked by Station Chief Yang meant that even if he was still sitting in the same spot, his status at the vegetable station was different.

Moreover, the task he held was a major matter for the station. If he managed to accomplish it, the next position he’d receive would definitely not be a low one.

With this information, Lin Chuxia had a clear idea in her mind. Seeing that he had other matters to attend to, she didn’t hold him up any longer.

It was too late for today, so Lin Chuxia found a secluded spot, and using her handbag as a shield, she put the money into her space.

She didn’t rely on the space for living, but having this convenience to reduce some risks was still necessary to use.

The next morning, after busying herself with the Bun Shop, Lin Chuxia took Su Wensong to find the homeowner and went to the Housing Authority to handle the property transfer procedure.

The deed had the man’s father’s name on it, and some other procedures were also processed until the transfer was completed in the afternoon.

Holding the deed with the changed owner’s name as they exited the Housing Authority, Lin Chuxia let out a long sigh of relief.

After a few busy days, the house was finally in her hands.

The two hadn’t eaten much for lunch, and now that the task was completed, they headed straight back to the Bun Shop.

Before reaching the Bun Shop, from a distance, she saw a loitering figure under the big tree opposite the shop.

Lin Chuxia handed her handbag to Su Wensong and gestured for him to stay silent, then tiptoed behind the person and gave a light tap on the shoulder, "Hey, Old Master."

"Ah! You little rascal, trying to scare me to death, huh?"

Old Master He’s beard curled up, and his eyes glared at her.

Lin Chuxia gave the old man a once-over; knowing him for so long, Old Sir He had always worn dingy, patched-up clothes that looked as if they had not been washed in ages.

Today, he not only was without patches, but his clothes were also clean, and upon a closer look, his hair and beard appeared well-groomed, too.

"You’re dressed up so nicely today, Old Master. Don’t tell me you’ve taken a fancy to someone’s granny?" She then covered her mouth as if she had an epiphany, "No wonder you look so sneaky, Old Master, this isn’t right..."

Old Master He’s beard curled even more, fuming.

"You impudent girl, no respect for elders at all, what granny, sneaking around..., lacks discipline."

With hands clasped behind his back, he huffed coldly and headed towards the Bun Shop.

Lin Chuxia smiled and winked at Su Wensong, tilting her chin. Su Wensong laughed and shook his head helplessly.

There were no customers in the Bun Shop at that time. Old Master He chose a table in the middle and sat squarely.

Seeing Lin Chuxia come in, he went straight to the point, "Girl, didn’t you want to take me, the old man, as your master? Come, bow to your master. Wensong, go call your granny over, let her witness this."

Not only Lin Chuxia, but even Su Wensong didn’t expect this.

Su Wensong knew more about Old Master He’s situation than Lin Chuxia. To have Old Master He actively take Lin Chuxia as an apprentice was a sign that the old man was ready to come out of his shell.

"Alright, I’ll go right now."

Lin Chuxia stopped Su Wensong, leaned in close to Old Master He, and asked cheerfully, "How did you have a change of heart? You haven’t been to the Bun Shop these past few days. I thought I had scared you away. So you weren’t scared off, but were instead preparing a gift for your apprenticeship?"
