Free chair!!!
My son is gonna start college tomorrow! Poor boy, he has been waiting for this more than 2 years. Most of his high-school mates are already in their 3rd year of college
He would be moving out end of next month. He’d be sharing a basement with my Malaysian girlfriend, PL. There are 3 rooms and they both take the 2 nicer ones. The house belongs to a Chinese couple in their late 50’s who immigrated to the US some 15 years ago. They used to run a Chinese restaurant and PL used to work there as a waitress during her undergraduate years. They treated her really well.
So, when one of their houses was restored, they offered PL a place. There are 3 rooms on the ground level that is occupied by their chefs and kitchen staffs. PL recommended my son and they agreed but under one condition, my son would’ve to help out at their takeaway ( they had since sold their dine-in restaurant and bought a takeaway business instead, just before Covid. Very lucky people I’d say! ) at least twice a week. In return, he’d get to stay for $400/month with utilities and internet connection included. No deposit needed too.
My son has been helping out for almost 2 weeks now. His schedule was a bit erratic coz at the same time, he and Art were hunting for a used car for him.
The first week he worked there, 10am -10pm for 4 consecutive days, it leaves him very very determined to study very very hard when he goes to college!
I’m now on a hunt for a study/computer table, a comfy chair and a dresser for him on FB Marketplace. He’d bring some of the old but still sturdy furniture from this house. We are all in agreement that he shouldn’t be spending on a lot of money on anything at this moment.
I showed him some really good deals on them office chair and table. Some were quickly snapped up by other buyers and some he wasn’t interested in, much to my frustration
Spotted a really nice dresser but just our luck, someone beat us to it
I was scrolling the FB Marketplace and Aa-Haah!! Finally!! A free chair!!
I showed it to my son when he got back from work yesterday. He’s not talking to me now …… he might even disown his own mom
Please tell me! What have I done wrong?!? I was just looking out for him, trying to save him a few bucks
Well, he can always do his coursework and have his hair permed at the same time?!?!?
What’s wrong with dat?!?! P.S: He’s being paid $130 for working 12hours at the takeaway.
