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

It turned out to be Nie Li.

Bai Zhenzhu really didn't recognize her; Nie Li has changed a lot.

She looked younger, with her hair straightened and tied in a high ponytail. She wore a beige trench coat and gold earrings, making her look much more mature and capable.

He used to be just a small business owner who ran a clothing store, but now he looks like a big boss.

"So it's Sister Nie Li. The water and soil of Chengdu are truly nourishing; you're even more beautiful than before."

Nie Li pointed at Zhang Minmin and said:

"Are you friends with Boss Zhang?"

Bai Zhenzhu said, "These are my third brother and sister-in-law."

Nie Li was doing the accounts when she heard this and instructed the older woman next to her:

"Bring over two packs of turtleneck thermal underwear that just arrived yesterday, one pink and one yellow, for Boss Zhang."

Zhang Minmin was taken aback.

She had wanted to take that thermal underwear before, but it was a new style and a bit expensive.

Unexpectedly, Nie Li actually gave her two packs, which totaled ten items.

Zhang Minmin didn't think she had that much influence. Nie Li's sudden gift to her was clearly aimed at Bai Zhenzhu.

Busy refusing:

"No need, Mr. Nie, I've already taken enough goods."

As she spoke, she took out the thermal underwear that had already been stuffed into the bag.

Nie Li couldn't stop laughing:

"Mr. Zhang, really. I know your sister, and I need her help with something."

Zhang Minmin thought to herself, "Just as I thought, then I definitely can't keep these thermal underwear."

Bai Zhenzhu said:

"Sister Nie Li, please tell me what happened, and I'll see if I can help."

She remembered what unit Nie Li's husband worked for, and he was definitely more familiar with Rongcheng than she was. If he wanted to help, it would probably be related to the clothes.

Then Nie Li said with a smile:

"If I hadn't run into Boss Bai today, I would have gone back to Yuan County specifically to find you."

"That's right, as you can see from the goods here, the quality is just average, and we're going for the affordable option."

“I’ve been doing wholesale in Lianhuachi for over a year and have accumulated some wealthy customers who want high-end goods.”

"Boss Bai's clothing business in Yuan County is so successful, he must have a good source of goods, right?"

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to get some goods from Boss Bai."

So they wanted to buy some goods.

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Sure, I have a shop in Mingzhu Plaza, and a new batch of goods I just received will arrive soon."

"Sister Li, give me your pager number. I'll call you when the goods arrive."

Nie Li quickly stuffed the two bags of thermal underwear that Zhang Minmin had taken out back into her hands, and also grabbed a bag of gloves and stuffed it in as well.

Zhang Minmin accepted it, feeling embarrassed.

"Thank you, Sister Li. If I run out of stock again, I'll have my sister come over and help me choose the items."

Nie Li said happily:

"Don't worry, I will definitely not cheat you on your goods."

He quickly wrote down his pager number and tore it off for Bai Zhenzhu.

Bai Zhenzhu felt that some things should be clarified first:

"Sister Li, the goods I have aren't cheap. You can go and take a look when you have time. However, some people are already getting their goods from me. If you take them and resell them wholesale, you can easily make another 20% or 30% profit."

Nie Li smiled and said:

“I know that your products are from the same company as Xia He’s. My mother and my sister-in-law have bought from Xia He’s several times. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

Bai Zhenzhu stopped talking and helped Zhang Minmin sew up all the bags containing the goods.

The truck driver who was with them was also in Chengdu to pick up goods, and they agreed to meet at Nie Li's place at 10 a.m. the next day.

After leaving Nie Li's place, Bai Zhenzhu took Zhang Minmin and Bai Jingsi to Mingzhu Square.

I first told Liu Huiying that Nie Li might come to inspect the goods later.

Then Zhang Minmin picked out two wool coats that had just arrived in the store.

She gave the beige wool coat to Zhang Minmin:

"Third sister-in-law, take this and try it out. It's a gift from me."

Zhang Minmin was absolutely thrilled with the clothes she picked up:

"That won't do. I'll buy it."

Bai Zhenzhu ignored her and pushed her to try on clothes.

Bai Jingsi turned around and said sincerely:

"Pearl, you're doing a great job in business."

Bai Zhenzhu poured him a glass of water:

"It's alright. By the way, I'll call my second brother and ask him to come over for dinner tonight."

After saying that, she went outside to call Bai Chengxiang.

There was a telephone at the shop next to Bai Chengxiang's; the proprietress would call out to him and he would go to answer it.

When Zhang Minmin returned after making the call, she had already changed into a coat.

Bai Jingsi kept praising how beautiful it looked.

The other item was for Zhang Minmin's mother.

Bai Jingsi offered to give money, but Bai Zhenzhu refused, as she had originally planned to give each of her sisters-in-law two coats for the New Year.

Zhang Minmin's arrival is just in time; let her choose and try it herself.

Hearing that both her elder and younger sisters-in-law had some, Zhang Minmin decided not to stand on ceremony with her.

On the way home, Bai Zhenzhu brought up the matter of low-profit housing again with Bai Jingsi and Zhang Minmin.

Zhang Minmin said happily:

“Since both my sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law want to buy one, then we should save up and buy one too. If the prices are similar, then we should buy a new house.”

Bai Jingsi also said:

“Your third sister-in-law and I are both preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, so buying a house next year will be just right.”

Bai Zhenzhu was overjoyed:

"Third sister-in-law, you're all going to take the postgraduate entrance exam? That's great!"

Zhang Minmin hugged Bai Jingsi's arm:

“Your third brother said that while we are still young, we should study hard first, and then we will try to stay in Chengdu.”

“My mom has taken over managing both of my clothing stores, and I don’t have time to manage them anymore.”

Bai Zhenzhu then said:

"If you need to order goods in the future, just give me a call and I'll help you choose the products."

Zhang Minmin: "Yes, I'll have to study hard next year, so I really won't have time to go to Chengdu."

Bai Zhenzhu was truly happy that her third brother and sister-in-law would be able to work in Chengdu, and their whole family would gradually be reunited.

Today is a good day, so Bai Zhenzhu went to the market to buy vegetables first.

I also bought some delicious braised meat, which Zhang Minmin loves to eat.

I also bought a big grass carp to make sauerkraut fish. I saw some fresh beef ribs and bought several pounds of them to stew.

Shuo Shuo, who was playing in the alley, stared wide-eyed when he saw his third uncle and aunt get out of the car.

He ran straight into his third uncle's arms:

"Third Uncle and Third Aunt, I've missed you so much!"

Bai Jing wanted to hug him, but couldn't.

"Shuo Shuo has grown taller again."

Shuo Shuo puffed out his chest:

"Third Uncle, I'm a grown man now, please stop hugging me."

Zhang Minmin couldn't stop laughing:

“Our little dumpling has grown into a big boy. Time flies so fast.”

Shuo Shuo grinned:

"Third Aunt, I'm already in first grade."

Sister Luo was sitting at the door sewing shoe soles when she hurriedly took the vegetables from Bai Zhenzhu's hands and took them back to clean up.

With Bai Jingsi and Zhang Minmin watching over the child, Bai Zhenzhu also went into the kitchen.

At noon, everyone was busy selecting goods, and lunch was just something quick and easy.

Bai Zhenzhu first cooked a pot of sweet fermented rice soup with glutinous rice balls, and gave each person two poached eggs to eat first to fill their stomachs, as dinner would be a little late.

While cooking, Zhang Minmin also came in to help wash the vegetables.

She was a little embarrassed:

“Pearl, your third brother and I are going to take the postgraduate entrance exam, so we don’t plan to have children for the next few years. As for Mom and Dad…”

She was a little worried that her in-laws would have objections.

Although Bai Jingsi kept telling her that her parents wouldn't say anything, Zhang Minmin was still worried about upsetting her in-laws and that it would be best if everyone could understand each other.

Bai Zhenzhu understood what she meant and comforted her:

"Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, Mom and Dad aren't old-fashioned. They will definitely support your and Third Brother's career."

"I'll talk to my parents about it later."

Zhang Minmin smiled:

"I feel relieved knowing you're speaking up for us."
