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

Soon after, Sister Luo brought over the food.

Because Guo Yongliang was there, Huo Zheng kept him company and chatted while they ate.

He didn't know how to act, worried that Ge Minjing might notice something.

After finishing their meal and chatting for a while, Huo Zheng got up and left once he was sure Bai Zhenzhu was alright.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ge Minjing and her husband went home so as not to disturb Bai Zhenzhu's rest.

Back at her home, Ge Minjing suddenly remembered:

"Why is Huo Zheng visiting a patient empty-handed?"

He shook his head as he spoke:

"This man is unreliable. He visits patients, but he only glances at them and then leaves."

After talking with Huo Zheng tonight, Guo Yongliang felt reassured.

It wasn't that he didn't believe Huo Zheng and his brother-in-law's views; it was just that his current achievements were hard-won.

Moreover, buying land is no small matter; it involves a huge investment, and what if it results in a loss...?

However, just to be on the safe side, he will definitely make a move if a suitable opportunity arises.

Or work with others.

With something on my mind, I just gave a perfunctory reply:

"What Huo Zheng lacks is a capable wife. He's such a big boss, how can he possibly have time for her when he's busy?"

"If you have any suitable girls, introduce them to him. There's bound to be one he likes."

Ge Minjing thought about it and realized it made sense.

If we help with Huo Zheng's marriage, the relationship between the two families will become closer.

Xia He and Wen Fengqin left after Ge Minjing and her husband left, agreeing to meet again on Saturday when they bought the house.

White Pearl was tired too, so she washed up and went to sleep.

The Bai family arrived at noon the next day.

There were quite a few people together: Li Xiufen with Xiao Wenbo, Liu Fang, and then Zhang Minmin, Bai Jingsi, and Dong Juan.

Bai Zhenzhu had Zhou Ting drive a van to pick her up.

Then the whole family was stunned when they saw Bai Zhenzhu's legs.

Li Xiufen hugged Bai Zhenzhu and started hitting her:

"You damned woman, how could you not say a word about such a big thing happening?"

"How did you get hurt? Does it hurt?"

The circles under his eyes turned red as he spoke.

Bai Zhenzhu gave a long explanation before the Bai family could finally relax.

Li Xiufen was still angry:

"Your second brother is a fool too, he didn't even tell us."

Bai Zhenzhu hurriedly said:

"Mom, you're wronging my second brother. He didn't know I was injured. I just got back from Guangzhou on the 1st and haven't seen him yet."

Bai Chengxiang was in Chengdu, so Xu Yin didn't come over. Everyone had to open their businesses and couldn't leave. Each household just needed someone in charge to step forward.

Bai Zhenzhu hurriedly invited Dong Juan and Liu Fang to sit down, and then asked Sister Luo to take them to their room to put away their luggage.

Liu Fang couldn't help but praise:

“Pearl has such a big house in such a nice place as Rongcheng, that’s really great. No wonder those boys are always thinking about coming to their aunt’s house.”

Zhang Minmin said:

“Sister-in-law, Pearl said that our whole family will come to Chengdu in the future. Once we buy a house, we will be big city people too.”

Liu Fang smiled and said:

"Yes, we will try our best to come to Chengdu as soon as possible to reunite with Pearl."

Outside, Zhou Ting was reporting to Bai Zhenzhu.

After the work report was finished, Bai Zhenzhu said to Zhou Ting:

"What are your thoughts on the low-profit housing issue?"

Zhou Ting straightened her back:

"Boss, I've discussed it with my mom, and we're going to buy a smaller one."

White Pearl nodded:

"Is there enough money?"

Zhou Ting: "That's enough. I have money after I retired from the military, plus what my mother has saved over the years, that's enough."

Bai Zhenzhu said nothing more.

"You can continue living in my apartment. Don't feel guilty; it's close to your work. We'll talk about the future once we get the apartment."

Zhou Ting was deeply moved:

"Yes, boss."

Bai Zhenzhu wasn't worried that Zhou Ting's mother would object to buying a house.

Zhou Ting is not young anymore, and she has injured one eye. If she has a house in Chengdu, it will definitely be easier for her to find a partner.

His mother is someone who always plans for his future; if there's an opportunity to buy a house, she definitely won't let it pass.

Even if they buy a two-bedroom apartment, it will probably empty their savings.

Fortunately, the mother and son now earn a considerable amount of money each month, so they have a stable income and don't feel anxious.

Bai Chengxiang arrived early in the afternoon.

So Bai Zhenzhu gave another explanation.

As everyone was chatting in the courtyard, Huo Zheng arrived again.

He brought quite a lot of things: two pig legs, a rack of spare ribs, two old hens, and a large black carp.

The Bai family members: "..."

Bai Zhenzhu felt an urge to put her hand to her forehead.

This is really hard to explain. With Mr. Huo acting like this, how is she supposed to explain it to her family?

She suspected that the person did it on purpose.

But President Huo remained calm and composed, greeting everyone with a smile:

"Auntie, sister-in-law, second brother, third brother and sister-in-law, I knew you were coming, so I brought you some vegetables."

Bai Chengxiang thought to himself, "Is this all there is to it?"

Why does this Comrade Huo seem less and less like the Comrade Huo of the past?

Bai Jingsi reacted the fastest, stepping forward with a smile and saying:

"Comrade Huo, you're too kind. Give them all to me."

Bai Jingsi reached out and took it.

Huo Zheng didn't give it to him, but instead said:

"There's still a little bit left in the trunk, thank you for your help, Third Brother."

After saying that, he picked up his things and went inside.

He seemed to know the place well, clearly having been there more than five, six, seven, or eight times; he was even more familiar with it than the Bai family.

White Pearl: "..."

Bai Jingsi and Bai Chengxiang went outside. Huo Zheng's trunk was open, and there were beef, beef bones, vegetables and fruits inside.

The two brothers brought in another bunch of things.

Bai Zhenzhu was glad that she hadn't asked Sister Luo to buy too many groceries.

Because her home is close to the market, Sister Luo usually goes there every morning to buy groceries for the day. Apart from some fresh meat she keeps on hand, there's not much food in her refrigerator.

Sister Luo bought the groceries early this morning, thankfully they can all be eaten by lunch or dinner, otherwise there would be nowhere to put all the things Huo Zheng brought.

Bai Zhenzhu's face felt a little hot.

"Mr. Huo, you're too kind."

She really didn't expect Huo Zheng to send so many dishes.

Huo Zheng's expression remained unchanged:

"not much."

Bai Chengxiang said irritably:

"Then Mr. Huo, please stay for a simple meal."

Huo Zheng nodded: "Okay."

Bai Chengxiang: "..."

He was just being polite, but he didn't expect the person to be so impolite.

Looking at his sister, who showed no sign of objection, Bai Chengxiang began to have his own thoughts.

The girl went to Guangzhou, and it seems a lot happened there.

He wasn't oblivious to the situation; since the girl didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't go too far.

As for Huo Zheng's thoughts, they are not hard to guess.

He was extremely attentive in Yuan County during the first month of the lunar calendar, so now that the Bai family has come to Rongcheng, he must be even more eager.

As the old saying goes, it's never wrong to be overly polite; how could he possibly let go of such an opportunity to show off?

A moment later, Bai Chengxiang came out of the house, carrying a bag of things:

"Mr. Huo, what is this? Is it shrimp?"

Huo Zheng remained unfazed:

"Yes, Shuo Shuo likes to eat it, so I bought some when I saw it."

"I'll do this."

Everyone in the Bai family: "..."
