Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi had no intention of hiding the purchase of the shop from anyone. In just one day, everyone in the workshop knew that they had bought a shop.
When Lin Xiangyi went to the workshop the next morning, she was stopped and questioned.
"Xiangyi, I heard that you bought a shop in the county town?" The village chief's wife couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
She knew that her husband and father-in-law both valued Xie Qingxiao, Lin Xiangyi and their business, so she wanted to find out more clearly so that she could go back and tell them.
"Yes," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.
The others asked about the situation of the shop, and Lin Xiangyi answered them one by one.
"That's a great location. Every time I go out on the street I see a lot of people on that street."
"But there aren't many shops open on that street right now, right? Those people must pass by there on their way to work, right?"
"What do you know? Aren't unopened stores good? No one is competing for business. If we open, all the business will come to us! It's even better that the people passing by are going to work. They get paid at work, so they have more money to buy our braised food!"
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"
"Because you're stupid!"
Lin Xiangyi watched them bickering with amusement.
Someone noticed that Lin Xiangyi was looking at them, and felt a little embarrassed. They laughed and said, "Ah, we were just talking nonsense. When it comes to business materials, no one can compare to Axiao and Xiangyi. The fact that they want to buy that shop proves that the shop must be profitable!"
Lin Xiangyi knew that they were complimenting herself and Xie Qingxiao, so she was not surprised and said, "There are always gains and losses in doing business. We are also feeling our way forward, and we cannot guarantee that the shop will make money. But if it can make money, that would be great."
"Yes, Xiangyi, you are right," everyone said flatteringly with a smile.
As he was speaking, Zhang Pengfei came in.
Lin Xiangyi was a little surprised: "Pengfei, why are you back?"
After the workshop opened, Zhang Pengfei was mainly responsible for the business in the city and he did not need to worry about the workshop's affairs. Normally, at this early hour, he should be moving goods to the meat processing factory with his fifth uncle and others.
"Brother Xiao said that you, sister-in-law, have good news to tell me, so he asked me to come back," said Zhang Pengfei.
As their business skyrocketed, the leader of the meat processing plant asked Xie Qingxiao to go over, saying that he had something to discuss with him, so Xie Qingxiao went over this morning.
After meeting Zhang Pengfei, he said that he would help move the goods today and asked Zhang Pengfei to come back.
Zhang Pengfei knew that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi went to see the shop yesterday, and vaguely guessed that the good news was probably related to the shop. What he heard just now outside the door confirmed his thoughts.
Buying the shop is indeed a good thing, but it’s just something he mentioned briefly. Why did Brother Xiao ask him to come back specifically? Although Brother Xiao is rushing to the meat processing factory to discuss something, there is no need to be so anxious, right?
Zhang Pengfei thought.
As soon as Lin Xiangyi heard what Xie Qingxiao wanted her to say, she said, "There is indeed good news. Don't you want to buy a house in the county? The owner who sold our shop also wants to sell his house. It's a house with a yard. Can you consider it?"
Zhang Pengfei: “…” I didn’t expect it was about the house!
"Is there really a house for sale?" Zhang Pengfei said happily. He had been keeping an eye on houses recently, but hadn't found a suitable one.
Xie's father and mother also knew that Zhang Pengfei wanted to buy a house.
Although Zhang Pengfei acknowledged them as his godfathers and godmothers, he was unwilling to live in the Xie family. They knew that he was afraid of troubling them, so they did not force him.
So she still supports Zhang Pengfei's plan to buy a house of his own. After all, what Zhang's mother said was indeed right. Which girl would be willing to marry Zhang Pengfei if he doesn't even have a house?
Xie's father and mother were busy in the kitchen. When they heard Zhang Pengfei coming back, they came out to take a look. When they heard Lin Xiangyi talking about the house, they hurried over.
"Really?" Lin Xiangyi said, "It costs three thousand yuan." A house is more expensive than a shop.
Hearing the price, Zhang Pengfei felt as if he was poured with a bucket of cold water.
He had been following Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi for the past few months and had only earned about fifteen hundred yuan. Add to that the money he had earned from posting with Xie Qingxiao before, and he still had five hundred yuan left.
The total is only two thousand. How can I get three thousand to buy a house?
"Their house is quite big. From what he described, I feel the location, size and layout are all good. Three thousand yuan is a good price. If you are interested, go and have a look," Lin Xiangyi said, "buy it when it's suitable."
"But I don't have that much money..." Zhang Pengfei smiled awkwardly.
Before Lin Xiangyi could answer, Xie's mother spoke up, "Pengfei, how much do you need? Your godfather and I have some money here. If you need it, you can use it first."
"Yes," Lin Xiangyi also said, "We have some here too. We can move it over to you for use. You can return it to us when you get paid."
"I have some here too," Aunt Xie also came over and said, "Aunt, you have some money here too, but it's not much."
"Ah?" Zhang Pengfei was stunned, looking at Lin Xiangyi, Mr. and Mrs. Xie, and Aunt Xie, feeling a little overwhelmed.
He never thought that they would pool money to buy him a house...
"I..." Zhang Pengfei opened his mouth to refuse. One thousand yuan is not a small amount, especially for people like Mr. Xie, Mrs. Xie and Aunt Xie...
"Don't be so quick to refuse," Lin Xiangyi said, "You can earn money again, but houses are rare, and people...are rare too. If you refuse, I'm afraid you'll regret it later if you miss out."
The "person" Lin Xiangyi refers to Shen Xiaolan.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Xiangyi mentioned Shen Xiaolan, Zhang Pengfei had no way to refuse.
