Xia Anyan stuck out her tongue.
After returning to her room, she found Grandpa Xia and told him about buying the house.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Xia was taken aback for a moment before sighing, "Your idea is correct, but Yan Yan, is this house really for me and your father?"
Xia Anyan felt a little guilty when asked the question.
She suddenly didn't know how to reply to the old man.
Grandpa Xia understood perfectly well that his granddaughter simply wanted to hear the girl tell him on her own initiative.
Unexpectedly...
never mind.
Grandpa Xia was about to wave his hand and say he wouldn't listen anymore, but Xia Anyan shook his arm: "Grandpa, believe me, I definitely won't do anything bad or hurt myself. I will protect myself."
“We haven’t been able to make a living since we came here. Although Dad said he would go out and find a job, nowadays everyone is in a position, so it’s not easy to find one.”
After hearing what Xia Anyan said, Grandpa Xia fell silent.
He had actually guessed what his granddaughter wanted to do, but... he still felt it was somewhat dangerous.
Putting aside the identity of the grandson-in-law for now, if he really did engage in black market transactions, and if it gets out one day, that would be undermining socialism, and the consequences would be severe.
“Grandpa, I’m not a child anymore. I know how to protect myself,” Xia Anyan leaned closer to Grandpa Xia and took his arm. “Before doing this, I had already thought everything through. I will do it only when I am safe. If I encounter any danger, I will retreat immediately and I will never let those people find me.”
"This courtyard is just a cover. What I really want is a small warehouse behind the courtyard. I plan to take over that warehouse and use it to store supplies."
"Our people live in the front, so they can help each other out if anything happens. Isn't that great?"
Xia Anyan didn't intend to hide it any longer. She could tell that the old man must have known her thoughts and ideas, which was why he had that expression.
The old man was somewhat persuaded.
However, he had some other ideas.
“Yanyan, we don’t have enough to cooperate with over there. You have to understand that their needs are huge. With just what we brought from over there, we can’t cooperate for very long.”
Grandpa Xia was also very conflicted.
He was both hoping it would work out and worried.
Xia Anyan just winked at him and didn't say anything else.
Grandpa Xia also realized that his granddaughter was a woman of her own mind.
Then he wouldn't care anymore; he just needed to wait.
Now that the decision has been made, Old Master Xia can no longer remain a hands-off manager.
Xia Anyan's identity is very sensitive; if she goes out alone, someone might find something to use against her.
He and Zhang Junan couldn't stay at their granddaughter's house forever after coming here. They could use the excuse of looking for a house and a job to get things done.
Grandpa Xia shared his thoughts, and Xia Anyan was very happy.
With her grandfather and father's help, she's sure to succeed.
...
With Grandpa Xia and Zhang Jun'an acting as cover, Xia Anyan and Boss Xiong's cooperation was quickly put on the agenda.
Even the seasoned old man and Zhang Jun'an were somewhat taken aback by the sight of the grains and vegetables piled up in the warehouse.
The two of them were so shocked that their mouths were agape, and the way they looked at Xia Anyan changed.
"Yanyan, where did you get this? How come..."
Grandpa Xia was stammering, he really couldn't believe it.
Zhang Junan wasn't much better off.
He had previously planned to visit more places and collect some items.
Now it seems that we don't need him at all.
Xia Anyan smiled and said, "I met a few people from various groups when I was out shopping before. They all had a lot of goods. But they were afraid of getting into trouble, so I talked to them and asked them to bring their goods here."
"I'm only making money from the price difference now, but even so, it's enough for us."
Both of them nodded in agreement when they heard Xia Anyan say that.
They did that from then on.
After agreeing on the delivery details with Boss Xiong, the three of them returned to the small courtyard in front.
They could hear everything that was happening behind them clearly. As long as they didn't want to show themselves, Boss Xiong's men wouldn't notice them.
After Xiong Laoda's men took the things away, Xia Anyan changed her clothes and went to the warehouse to retrieve all the money that had been left behind.
She stored some of it in her spatial storage, and took out a portion of the rest, handing it over to the old man and Zhang Jun'an.
"Grandpa, Dad, please take these. You must have spent a lot of time and money in the county town these past few days. Please take these first, and I will give them to you when I make some money later."
Upon hearing Xia Anyan's words, the two immediately turned pale.
"You silly girl, if we really cared about these things, why would we do such things? You'd better take the money back right now, or we'll get angry!"
“Yes, Ayan, we are your relatives, your family. What you did has made us very sad.”
Xia Anyan blinked her eyes innocently: "Grandpa, Dad, you didn't let me finish. I'm giving you this money so you can keep an eye on things here for me. If other small vendors are willing to cooperate with us, this will be our start-up capital."
Hearing Xia Anyan say this, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, they only took a small portion of it and returned the rest to Xia Anyan.
"Didn't you say before that you collected those from other people? You paid for them yourself. You should keep them and buy whatever you want. Don't worry about us."
The old man put on a fierce look, but he was actually very happy inside.
Xia Anyan felt somewhat helpless and took the money back, planning to arrange some more for them in other ways.
These past few days, Grandpa Xia and Zhang Jun'an have been planning to move into this small courtyard.
We've bought most of the things, but we're still missing some furniture.
Xia Anyan plans to go shopping in the afternoon.
But before she could even leave the house, she ran into Liu Wangchun.
Liu Wangchun's eyes were bloodshot, and the moment she saw Xia Anyan, tears streamed down her face.
"Girl, did you already know about that?" Liu Wangchun's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
But she still forced herself to speak.
Xia Anyan sighed and nodded: "I overheard it when I was buying fabric at the supply and marketing cooperative that day. I never expected it to be such a coincidence..."
