Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 156 - 157: Hard Furnishings and Soft Furnishings

"Big sister..."

Xia Qiufen instinctively wanted to call out "big sister-in-law," but swallowed the words back and looked at Jiang Ran with a puzzled expression, "Why?"

Jiang Ran touched her own face, "I always feel that when you call me ’big sister-in-law,’ it makes me sound old. Do I look old to you?"

Xia Qiufang quickly shook her head, "Of course not, you look even younger than me."

"Then that’s settled!" Jiang Ran patted Xia Qiufen on the shoulder, "From now on, just call me Sister Ranran!"

"This... alright! Sister Ranran."

Xia Qiufang didn’t hesitate much and agreed right away.

After all, for Xia Qiufang, it didn’t make much difference.

Whether it was calling ’big sister-in-law’ or calling ’Sister Ranran,’ the person being referred to hadn’t changed.

Successfully having Xia Qiufen change the way she addressed her, Jiang Ran was quite pleased.

"I’ve already contacted the construction people, and they’ll be coming soon. I can’t watch over everything here all the time, so I’ll have to trouble you. But don’t worry, even though we haven’t started making clothes yet, starting from today you’ll be on payroll, so you won’t be working for nothing."

Stopping Xia Qiufang, who wanted to speak, Jiang Ran earnestly continued, "I don’t have time to keep an eye on things here, so I have to rely on you. Can you handle it?"

"I can!"

Xia Qiufang resolutely declared, "I’ll definitely keep a close watch on things, so rest assured, Sister Ranran."

"I trust you, of course!"

Jiang Ran, saying this, also patted Xia Qiufen on the shoulder.

The feeling of being trusted is a wonderful one.

Now, not only was Xia Qiufang happy, but she also felt filled with energy.

Jiang Ran didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she waited until the construction workers arrived, showed them the plans, and made some brief arrangements before leaving.

Whenever she had free time, Jiang Ran would ride her bicycle over to check on the progress of the project.

Actually, there weren’t many changes needed here.

Only the bathroom required major renovations.

For the other rooms, just expanding the windows a bit, replacing them with clean glass, painting the walls white, making some clothing racks and cabinets, and fitting higher wattage lights and fans would almost do it.

Once all these are done, just adding some soft furnishings, and it would be ready to open.

It sounds quick, but in reality, it took five or six days of hard work to get the interior renovations done.

Having renovated three houses, this was the longest one took. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

During these days, whenever Jiang Ran had a chance, she’d roam around the county.

She mainly wanted to find some tables, chairs, and sofas that met her satisfaction.

Though the department store also sold some, they didn’t meet Jiang Ran’s expectations.

There was no other way. Jiang Ran could only ride her bicycle all over the county, hoping to stumble upon something she liked.

Luckily, fate was kind, and after wandering around for a few days, Jiang Ran found some good things.

Jiang Ran personally liked things with a traditional flair, so she wanted to find some classical-style furniture.

There weren’t any in perfect condition, but there were quite a few with imperfections or missing pieces.

Of course, because they weren’t in good shape, the prices weren’t high.

After buying them, she had Wang Cuilan’s brother help with repairs, and they became usable.

Once the shop was renovated, the main task arrived.

Clothes.

They were in the clothing business, so no matter how well the shop was renovated, how exquisite the décor was, it was all secondary.

The most important thing was to have clothes to sell.
