80s Marriage of Convenience, My Archenemy Became a Henpecked Husband

Upon waking up, Lin Xiangyi realized she had transmigrated into a period novel written by her stepsister. Her stepsister was the protagonist, and she was the villainous female supporting character....

Chapter 97 Business Expansion

"How come you don't have a home?" Lin Xiangyi said.

Zhang Pengfei and Xie's father and mother became godparents. He thought Lin Xiangyi would say that the Xie family was his home, but he heard Lin Xiangyi say, "You have made so much money. Isn't it easy for you to buy a house, marry a wife and settle down?"

"What?" Zhang Pengfei thought he had heard it wrong.

“I said, you can earn money to buy your own house,” Lin Xiangyi repeated.

Zhang Pengfei respects Lin Xiangyi, not only because she is Xie Qingxiao's wife, but also because he has seen Lin Xiangyi's excellence and personal charm during this period, so he is very convinced of Lin Xiangyi.

But at the moment, he felt that what Lin Xiangyi said was absurd: "Sister-in-law, where can I buy a house now?"

Nowadays, people in the countryside build their own houses, while people in the city receive houses allocated by the state or their companies. So where are the houses for sale?

"Someone must be selling the house, but they won't say it out loud," Lin Xiangyi said, "You have to spend some time to find it yourself."

Zhang Pengfei felt a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He had never thought about buying a house.

After all, renting a house requires proof of work or a letter of introduction.

The dark house he lives in now was rented to him by a landlord who was an old widow with no ability to earn money and needed his rent to support her life.

Of course, the landlord had to claim to others that he was her distant cousin, for fear that she would not be able to explain clearly if someone came to investigate.

However, Zhang Pengfei still trusted Lin Xiangyi. He was a little tempted to buy a house by himself, but soon he became disappointed: "I don't have enough money to buy a house now..."

Although I don’t know what the current housing market is like, houses are not going to be that cheap no matter how cheap they are.

He has earned a few hundred yuan with Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi in the past two months, but are these few hundred yuan enough to buy a house?

Moreover, if he really pursued Xiaolan, he would not want to let her down.

He wanted to be like Brother Xiao and give the best to the people he loved...

By this calculation, he still has to wait a long time before he can pursue Xiaolan openly...

"Then make good money," Lin Xiangyi said, "Your brother Xiao and I plan to expand our business. There will be many opportunities to make money in the future. As long as you are willing to work with us, you will definitely get more soup if we eat our meat."

Zhang Pengfei is a sales talent, so Lin Xiangyi must recruit him.

"Expand the business?" Zhang Pengfei's eyes lit up. He looked at Xie Qingxiao and then at Lin Xiangyi: "How to expand? What are your plans?"

Xie Guoqiang next to him also pricked up his ears to listen.

"We don't have a very detailed plan yet," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "I'll tell you after I discuss it with Xie Qingxiao."

Zhang Pengfei was overjoyed when he heard this, and grinned, "Okay, okay, then I'll wait for you. Brother Xiao, sister-in-law, you are so good to me!"

"And you, Guoqiang," Lin Xiangyi looked at Xie Guoqiang who was riding a bicycle next to them.

Although Xie Guoqiang's abilities in all aspects are not outstanding so far, he is diligent and honest. He is Xie Qingxiao's cousin and one of the first people to follow them.

If I can help him in the future, then what's the harm in giving him a hand?

Xie Guoqiang didn't expect Lin Xiangyi to mention him.

He is aware of his own abilities. He is able to earn so much now, thanks to Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi. He is already very satisfied to earn so much.

If he went any higher, he was afraid that he would not be capable enough and would drag down Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi.

"Brother Xiao, sister-in-law, I am already very satisfied with the amount I can earn now. I dare not ask for more. But if you need my help, just tell me. As long as I can help, I will definitely help!" said Xie Guoqiang.

When they arrived at the county town, they split up into several groups.

Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi went to the family quarters of the textile factory.

Lin Xiangyi came this time mainly to discuss cooperation with Grandma Liu.

However, Grandma Liu was not waiting at the door today. While Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi were selling goods, they were also paying attention to whether there were any customers who knew Grandma Liu, and wanted to ask them to help call Grandma Liu.

But before they could find anyone, Grandma Liu hurried out from the family compound and shouted as soon as she saw them: "Hey, Xiao, Xiangyi, you're finally here!"

After buying braised food several times, Grandma Liu gradually became familiar with Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi, and learned their names.

"What a coincidence! I waited for you here every day, but you didn't come. Today, I didn't wait, but you came!" Grandma Liu said with a smile:

"Luckily I asked someone to let me know if I saw you, otherwise I would have missed you again!"

"Grandma, please slow down. We won't run," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile:

"Besides, we are here today mainly to look for you. Even if you don't come out, we will find someone to help us call you out later."

"I'm in good health now, I can run a few more kilometers!" Grandma Liu said with a smile. She was a little surprised to hear the second half of Lin Xiangyi's words. She looked at Xie Qingxiao and said, "What I told you last time is done?"

"Yeah," Xie Qingxiao nodded with a smile.

"Great!" Grandma Liu clapped her hands, looked at Lin Xiangyi, and smiled amiably: "Child, I knew you wouldn't have the heart to reject Grandma. How about we go somewhere else to talk?"

There are now quite a few customers queuing in front of Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi's stall, making it difficult to talk to them.

Lin Xiangyi looked at Xie Qingxiao, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Then I'll go talk to Grandma about cooperation, and you'll sell the goods here?"

"Then go ahead," Xie Qingxiao said, "Tell me if you have anything to say."

"Okay," Lin Xiangyi left with Grandma Liu.

"Xiangyi, your man is the most loving man I have ever seen in my life," Grandma Liu joked as she took Lin Xiangyi's hand and walked towards the textile factory's staff quarters.

This was not the first time someone told Lin Xiangyi that Xie Qingxiao was caring. Aunt Xie and Su Xiaomei also often told her so.

But, who is the man who loves his wife the most?

"Grandma, that shouldn't be the case, right?" Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.

"How could it be so?" Grandma Liu was not convinced when she heard it, and spoke up for Xie Qingxiao: "It's so!"

"Although I haven't seen you many times, every time I saw you, the most tiring work wasn't done by Xiao." Grandma Liu said:

"I haven't seen you for a while, and I asked him why you didn't come. He said you were pregnant and needed to rest at home."

"It's rare to find a man so considerate. Nowadays, which woman doesn't go to work with a big belly even when she's pregnant? It would be fine if the mother-in-law could help a little, but if not, she'll be exhausted at work and have to take care of the whole family when she gets home from get off work!"

"But this is not what impressed me the most!" Grandma Liu opened up and talked nonstop: "What impressed me the most was that I asked him a few days ago if I could sell braised food with you guys."

"He actually said that you are the one who makes the decisions in your family, but he had to ask you first!"
