Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

I got home quite early.

She took the children home first before going to the market.

Today's market is clearly different; everyone is gathered in small groups.

There were quite a few people chatting at the braised meat shop and the rice noodle shop next door.

Xu Yin saw Bai Zhenzhu and quickly pulled her over, her face full of excitement:

"Pearl, you're finally back. Eat dinner early tonight, we have a meeting after that."

White Pearl: "Where do we open it?"

Xu Yin: "In the market, we brought our own stools, held demolition mobilization meetings, and read out the policies."

Someone called out to Bai Zhenzhu:

"Boss Bai, your shop has the most in the market, you've made a fortune."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

May everyone get rich.

She avoided the crowds and went to the clothing store.

Perhaps because she wasn't there, no one gathered around the clothing store to gossip, and there happened to be two customers choosing clothes in the store.

Li Yueshu is working hard to sell:

“…Little sister, you look so beautiful. Take advantage of the store’s promotion now and buy something. Look, we don’t have many styles left because of the demolition. The owner has set these clearance prices. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

The girl looked at the dress she was wearing and was indeed tempted.

When Li Xiufen saw her daughter return, she quickly told her about the meeting that evening.

“I heard that every shop will receive compensation. My son, you own many shops, so you should be able to get a large sum of money.”

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"We'll know how much to divide tonight."

She noticed that some shops were already closed and asked curiously:

"When I came in just now, I saw that many shops were not open for business. What's going on?"

Little Wenbo fell asleep, and Li Xiufen gently patted him while telling Bai Zhenzhu about the recent events in the market:

“Those were all rented shops; they found places in advance and moved away.”

"For those properties without property ownership certificates, the authorities have specially sent a lot of people to measure them. They've been busy with this for the past half month."

Lower your voice:

“Yesterday, people from the Sun family next door came and caused trouble, and they even got into a fight.”

Only then did Bai Zhenzhu notice that Sister Sun next door had also closed her door.

The two young girls each bought a dress.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Yueshu handed over today's sales figures and bankbook to Bai Zhenzhu.

Bai Zhenzhu glanced at it and saw that the two clothing stores had saved a lot of money over this period of time, and the balance on this passbook was almost 80,000 yuan.

With 100,000 worth of goods in her two stores combined, she could easily sell them for 200,000.

A little while later, Liu Huiying arrived as well. Today, the two stores together have earned more than 8,000 yuan.

Bai Zhenzhu deposited the money, and the balance was over 85,000.

The two stores were almost out of stock, and the warehouses inside were empty.

The same goes for Liu Huiying's side; even with clearance sales, they still make double the profit on underwear, and some popular styles are already severely out of stock in certain sizes.

During dinner that evening, Bai Zhenzhu told Liu Huiying and Li Yueshu that their priority now was to sell the goods; they would sell as long as they could make a profit.

After dinner, it was seven o'clock.

Each household would bring a small stool or a chair and gather in the largest open space in the market.

It's right in front of the restaurant.

The crowd was enormous; each household must have sent more than one person, and the area in front of the restaurant was packed with people.

Li Yueshu also came to join in the fun with Bai Zhenzhu, while Liu Huiying and Sister Luo stayed home to take care of the children.

The elderly couple from Bai Chengxiang and Bai Chenglei's families stayed home to take care of the children, while the adults came over.

Xu Yin was still holding Xiao Wenbo.

Several tables were placed in the center, with tea mugs and microphones on them.

Around 7:15, a group of people who looked like officials arrived.

The demolition mobilization meeting has begun.

This was the first time Yuanxian County had carried out a demolition project, and they lacked experience. With so many people gathered together, the scene was noisy and chaotic.

Fortunately, since it concerned their own interests, people were still willing to listen when the demolition and relocation policy was announced.

The meeting lasted only a little over two hours. The policies were read out, documents were distributed, and the officials answered some of the questions from the public before leaving in a hurry.

We need to get everyone to make a decision as soon as possible. Those who agree to the demolition should go to the newly established relocation office to sign the agreement.

First come, first served: sign the contract, choose your apartment, and get your money.

The cadres left without hesitation; if they had stayed, they probably would have talked until dawn and still not been able to explain themselves.

Xu Yin's eyes sparkled:

"Pearl, does that mean that for houses like ours with larger areas, we can get two apartments?"

White Pearl nodded affirmatively:

"Yes, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, your family has a large area, so you should be able to get two apartments based on the area."

Xu Yin picked up Xiao Wenbo and gave him a big kiss:

"Great! I can live in one place and rent out the other. Now I can collect rent too!"

Liu Fang was also very happy. With two sons in the family, having two houses was just right.

There's also demolition compensation, calculated per person, five thousand per person, so their family can get twenty thousand.

The compensation for shops is more substantial because it includes compensation for business closure and relocation. In addition to a shop of roughly the same size, each shop also receives 20,000 yuan in compensation.

I didn't see Xia He earlier, but she's come over now.

He smacked his lips:

"It wasn't as worthwhile as my god-sister's family's demolition."

Her dream of becoming a landlady was shattered. Her house was smaller than Xu Yin's, and at most, she would have to demolish two small apartments.

Bai Zhenzhu laughed at her:

"How can we compare our situation to that of Guangzhou? This policy is quite good."

Xia He thought about it and agreed.

I just don't know if business will be any better after moving to a different location.

However, she didn't think about those things; the thought of soon living in an apartment building made her very happy.

"I'll still hire your company for the renovation once the house is ready. You have to give me a good design."

Bai Zhenzhu: "No problem. I recently designed two European-style houses and one light luxury style house for someone in Chengdu. You can take a look and see if you like them."

Xia He immediately became interested when she heard about the design that Chengdu residents liked.

The slight frustration of not being able to be a landlady vanished instantly:

"Yeah."

She couldn't wait to be allocated an apartment; she wanted to live in an apartment building.

Everyone else is also calculating how big a house they'll get and how much compensation they'll receive.

After all, they've been doing business here for a long time, and some people are unwilling to move, fearing that business will be harder in a different location.

Some people felt the given moving date was too rushed and hoped for more time to prepare.

Some people felt the demolition policy was bad and tried to incite others not to sign, hoping to cause trouble and get the government to increase the compensation.

Zhang Hongying from the grain and oil shop sat down next to Bai Zhenzhu:

"Pearl, now that everyone's moved out, your family's restaurant..."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Sister, as long as you keep the quality and quantity of your products and give me discounts, I'll definitely keep having you deliver to my restaurant."

Zhang Hongying smiled and said:

"Of course, we believe in integrity in business. We shouldn't have to deal with each other anymore, don't worry, Miao Wei will deliver the goods to your door."

Having worked together for so long, Zhang Hongying and her husband are trustworthy people.

Not only Zhang Hongying's family, but also Bai Zhenzhu, the supplier of meat and vegetables, had no intention of changing their business.

It wasn't until after 11 o'clock that everyone dispersed, and they were all very excited.
