After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1287 Doing What I Can
Xia Wen had already helped them enough. They could get Xia Wen to help with the purchase of items, but they definitely could not let Xia Wen get involved in their business.

As a government official and the director in charge of the economy, he must set a good example and not have any external business dealings. Otherwise, he would never be able to clear his name. If someone reported Xia Wen for running a business, he would go to jail! This was no child’s play!
“It’s not impossible. You can just put in an application for her. It’s just that the procedures are a little complicated, but I guess you’ll feel more at ease after opening a shop,” Xia Wen said.

“That’s easy to say! How can we earn so much money after opening a shop? The monthly expenses are not low! However, I already have a plan. I just need to think more thoroughly about it later. I have too many businesses to run now!” Qiao Mei said smugly.

Xia Wen shook his head helplessly and turned to look at Xia Zhe. “Please control your wife. Don’t let her buy another house. Take control of your family’s money.”

“My family’s money is not under my control. I only have one dollar in my pocket and it’s only because Qiao Mei forgot to take it back yesterday,” Xia Zhe said pitifully.

It seemed that he could not count on Xia Zhe at all. His usually imposing younger brother was like a cute little puppy at home. In front of Qiao Mei, he was like an excitable little boy and not at all like that domineering person he showed others.

After Xia Wen coaxed Xia Xing to sleep, he went to the kitchen to help Li Gui. Whenever Li Gui saw him, she felt as if she was looking at her own son. She treated Xia Wen and Xia He very well and always kept the two of them in mind whenever there was anything good.

As long as it was someone who was genuinely nice to Qiao Mei, she would repay them regardless of the cost.

“Auntie, you sing so well. What did you do today? You seem so happy,” Xia Wen asked naturally as he washed the vegetables.

“Xiao Wen! You don’t know how much money I made today! I made popcorn at night and went out to sell braised meat during the day. I made almost 300 dollars in one day! Oh my! If this continues, I can make more than 10,000 dollars a month! Is there something wrong with my calculation or do I actually have so much money!” Li Gui said excitedly.

Xia Wen was also shocked when he heard the amount. There was no way an ordinary peddler could earn as much as Qiao Mei. It was already considered a lot if a peddler could earn 300 dollars a month.

He looked thoughtfully at Qiao Mei who was in the distance. All these ideas definitely did not come from Li Gui. Qiao Mei had been strategizing behind the scenes and stabilizing the situation. Moreover, Qiao Mei was a clear-minded person who did business decisively and would not abandon her own interests because of interpersonal relationships. She was a person who could achieve great things.

Could it be that the Xia family now have a business genius in their midst? It looked like the Xia family might actually be able to gain a foothold in the business world as well.

This thought made Xia Wen excited. He really could not imagine how the future of the Xia family could turn out. However, he also understood that it was dangerous to be too ostentatious. The Xia family was already very outstanding in the political and military fields. If they dominated the business field as well, it would probably attract the wrong kind of attention.

These things all needed to be thought out carefully.

When the food was ready, the family sat down harmoniously to eat together. Before Xia Wen left, Qiao Mei even gave him a lot of braised meat so that he had something to eat when he returned to the office dormitory.

“Eldest Brother, why don’t you consider moving to that house I prepared for you and Xia He. If you come and live in this area, you can help me take care of Xiao Xing as well,” Qiao Mei said gently.

“That won’t do. Don’t worry, I’m living in the workplace unit’s dormitory now and it’s not too bad. My superior is already considering allocating a house to me. I hear that it’s quite big, so you don’t have to worry about these things. It’s also not too far away from here so I’ll be able to come to visit Xia Xing and Xia Fan often,” Xia Wen said.

He knew that Qiao Mei only had good intentions and nothing else. She just wanted him and Xia He to have a better life. Xia He was right about one thing. The more capable a person was, the more power they could enjoy. He and Xia He were just ordinary employees and could not be too extravagant, otherwise they would attract a lot of trouble.

Early the next morning, Chi Ze went to the slaughterhouse as usual to buy pig offal. This time, the quantity he wanted was twice as much as the last time. Director Qiao kept his word and supplied it to Qiao Mei. As long as it did not exceed 20 pigs, Qiao Mei’s price would remain at 25 cents per pound.
