Chapter 283 Return with a Full Load
But since they have already promised, the two grandmothers will definitely not go back on their word. They will definitely take the two to the zoo and the amusement park tomorrow. Anyway, as long as the children are happy, it’s fine. It’s not like they want to pick stars or the moon, they just want to go out for a stroll. What’s wrong with that?
Xia Xian had long been aware of how her family spoiled their children. She knew that Zhao Zhao would be fine at home, so she could run around outside without any worries.
She plans to fill up all three trucks, as she will be importing a lot of goods. When she returns from visiting her relatives after the National Day holiday, she will start opening a second clothing store, so she won’t have to worry about having too many clothes to sell and becoming obsolete.
She returned with a full load on this trip, and it went quite smoothly. Nothing unexpected happened on the road, and there were no problems with the freight company either. Everyone just followed her instructions.
Moreover, led by Lao Ding, the team drove very steadily, and none of them had an impulsive personality. In short, Xia Xian was satisfied with their performance the first time they went out to transport goods, but she would need to observe them more carefully afterwards.
They drove three trucks to transport the goods back, which made quite a noise and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even if people had not known that a new freight company had opened in Beijing before, after this incident, everyone knew about it and business came to them one after another.
Although there are not enough people coming to them to transport goods now, this kind of thing needs to be done slowly. Xia Xian will first see how good Lao Ding and his team are at attracting and entertaining customers, and is not in a hurry to do other things.
Xia Xian also introduced some of her business friends to the team. However, whether or not they could finally get the business depended on the performance of Lao Ding and his team. Xia Xian did not ask them to give her a favor. She just wanted them to give Lao Ding and his team a chance and observe them at the same time.
After Xia Xian had settled all these things, Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.
Xia Xian did not choose to go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but spent it at home before taking Quan Ruifeng and Zhao Zhao back to her hometown. She had already called Lei Juan in advance to inform her, and Lei Juan was very happy.
Xia Xian and the others started cleaning the house a few days before they came back. They wanted to make the house spotless and bright. They didn't want Zhao Zhao to dislike them. Things also had to be kept in tact. In short, they had to make sure there was nothing wrong with them!
Lei Juan was excited for several days, and Xia's father was also in a good mood. His daughter and son-in-law were coming back with the child, so he had no reason to be unhappy. He also did some housework and cleaned the room.
But the house is so small, but there are so many people living there, and there must be a lot of things. No matter how you tidy it up or clean it, the house always looks messy, and in the end Lei Juan became discouraged.
"Forget it. They won't have anywhere to live when they come back."
"We need to think about where to arrange for them to live. Xiaoxian said she would come back to stay for three to five days. We can't ask the three of them to sleep on the floor in the living room. The problem is that there is no place to sleep on the floor."
"It has been said for a long time that the family has been divided, but no one wants to move out. They all stay at home and live in a crowded and noisy house."
Lei Juan rarely complained about the family, but what's the use of complaining now?
"Alright, alright, your sons are incompetent, are you going to let them sleep on the street?"
"There are factories closing down now. Forget about expecting the factories to give them houses. It's good enough to have a job. I think the laid-off workers are really miserable. There are seven or eight people in a family, but no one gets paid. I don't know how they get by."
Father Xia certainly didn't want to live together in such a small house, but there was no other way, it had to be like this, he shook his head helplessly.
Lei Juan also understood this logic. She was just complaining because she was emotional. If the children really had to move out, she would be reluctant to do so.
Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia II had also been helping with the cleaning. When they heard what Lei Juan and Father Xia said, neither of them dared to refute a word. Instead, they tried carefully to please the two of them.
"Mom and Dad, we want to move out too. The kids are grown up and need rooms, but it's really a luxury to get a separate house now. I feel like we can't wait until that time."
"Yes, but I see that there are many people renting houses now. Although it is not easy to rent a house, many people have built houses now, so there are many more places to rent than before. It would be great if we could rent a house and then find a chance to get our own house in the future. Mom and Dad, don't you agree?"
It was a rare occasion that Mrs. Xia Da and Mrs. Xia Er joined forces. Instead of confronting each other, they tested the situation cautiously.
It would be nice to have a house to rent. In the past few years, the eldest and second families have each had a child. Now there are five children in the family. There is no place to hang oneself, let alone a place to live. It would be nice if we could spend money to solve this problem.
"Then you guys should go find a house and move out. It's not a good idea to always live together."
Father Xia agreed without thinking.
"Mom and Dad, are we and the second brother's family all moving out?"
Mrs. Xia then asked, if they moved out and left the house to the second son's family, she would not agree to that!
"Everyone move out. If anyone can't find a house and still lives here, they have to pay rent to the family! Just like what we taught outside!"
Father Xia knew what Sister-in-law Xia was worried about, so he immediately said that he would collect rent.
At least in this way, both families are mentally balanced, which is not bad. Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia have no objection. What they really want is something else...
But the two of them were hesitant, and you couldn't see that they had said what they wanted to say.
When Lei Juan saw her two daughters-in-law acting like this, she knew they had something to say, and she was a little annoyed.
"If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to hide it here. It hurts my eyes."
"Then let's just say it directly. Don't be angry. We are all doing this for your grandson, right?"
"We also want to move out, but we are short of money. Xiaoxian should have given you a lot of money in the past few years. Not only did she marry a rich man, she also runs her own business and is very rich now. It is impossible for her to not respect you now that she is rich. We are short of money now. Can you give us some money, mom and dad?"
"Yes, we are borrowing! We will definitely pay you back when we have money in the future, but now there are so many mouths to feed at home and we have to pay the rent, it is really difficult."
Mrs. Xia added embarrassedly, "No matter how embarrassed you are, isn't it just asking for money? Every time Xia Xian makes a move, they want money."
Their logical chain is like this, including the eldest and second brothers Xia, they all have the same idea. Xia Xian is rich, it is impossible for her not to give money to her parents. Not to mention how much, occasional subsidy is already a lot. The old couple doesn't have much to spend money, and they are short of money. Isn't it normal for parents to subsidize their son all the time?
So they opened their mouth again, what if they got it?
So on the surface it is a loan, but in reality no one wants to pay it back!
After Lei Juan and Xia's father said this, they couldn't help but take a deep breath. It turned out that he was waiting for them here!
