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

The idea of ​​breaking off the engagement didn't just appear recently.

Summer lotus has been around for a year.

But whenever she thinks about all the things she has done for Xu Qinglin over the years, she always feels resentful.

"Let's not talk about that bitch. I'll treat you to dinner."

Bai Zhenzhu asked, puzzled, "Why are you suddenly inviting me to dinner?"

Xia He: "You haven't really explored the county town properly yet, have you? There's a nice restaurant over by the Qingshui River, let me take you there."

After saying that, Xia He went to the back warehouse and pushed out a motorcycle.

Somewhat familiar.

"This is Sister Nie Li's car; she sold it to me."

Xia He pushed the motorcycle outside the shop, turned off the lights and closed the door, then got on the motorcycle and tilted her head towards Bai Zhenzhu:

"boarding."

Shuo Shuo was incredibly excited; he had never ridden a motorcycle before.

"Mom, get on the motorcycle quickly."

However, Bai Zhenzhu was somewhat worried:

Can you ride one?

Xia He rolled her eyes at her:

"Are you looking down on me? My brother has one too, and I ride it all the time. It's no problem at all to take you and your mother with me."

Bai Zhenzhu then picked up Shuo Shuo and straddled him.

The county town now is very different from what she remembers.

Now, only the area around the department store has newly built buildings, the tallest of which are more than ten stories high.

The new buildings are all beautiful, with white tiles on the exterior walls.

The residential buildings on both sides of the street are mostly red brick buildings, at most five or six stories high, and they look drab.

Bai Zhenzhu clearly remembered that a few years later, Xingfu Street would be renamed Chaoyang Avenue, which would be the widest and longest main road in Yuan City.

After the turn of the millennium, almost all the buildings on both sides of Chaoyang Avenue were brand new.

Urban construction has already begun, and construction is underway at some sites.

Bai Zhenzhu felt a surge of excitement.

She doesn't have to focus entirely on the train station; she could also consider houses and shops on Happiness Street.

I need to grab it while it's still relatively cheap.

The county town wasn't very big to begin with, and we arrived at Qingshuihe very quickly.

The restaurant's sign was inconspicuous, simply called Qingshuihe Restaurant, and it didn't look as bright and grand as Bai Zhenzhu's restaurant.

Xia He parked her motorcycle outside and sat down under the awning outside instead of going inside the shop.

"Hey sis, you're here. Same as always?"

The proprietress, wearing an apron around her waist, came up to greet us warmly.

Xia He didn't even ask Bai Zhenzhu before ordering the food:

"Yes, still those four bowls you're good at, and three more bowls of rice."

Bai Zhenzhu quickly replied, "Two bowls of rice will be enough."

The proprietress said, "Sure, please have a seat."

The dishes were served quickly; they turned out to be steamed dishes.

These are four of the ten popular bowls served at rural banquets.

One bowl of steamed longan pulp, one bowl of steamed chicken, one bowl of steamed pork ribs, and a tasting bowl.

Xia He placed some spare ribs and longan on Shuo Shuo's plate and urged him:

"Pearl, you should try it! The steamed dishes here are pretty good. I come here often."

Bai Zhenzhu tasted a bite of the fried tofu and nodded:

"It's really good, it tastes just like that."

She doesn't know if it's because she's used to her mother's cooking, but even though this shop's cooking is also good, she still thinks Li Xiufen's is the best.

The filling inside the longan pulp was too sweet, and the pulp wasn't tender enough.

The tofu in the bowl was fried a bit too long, which affected the taste.

After the meal, Xia He drove Bai Zhenzhu and Shuo Shuo back from the Qingshui River.

The mother river of Yuan County has not yet been managed and is like a wild river.

In a few years, the Qingshui River will be fully managed, with dams built and riverbanks raised.

Many residential areas and parks will also be built on both sides of the river.

They strolled around until almost nine o'clock before returning to the restaurant.

Bai Chenglei and his group were eating; there was only one other table of customers still dining in the restaurant.

Xia He didn't stay long; she said goodbye and rode away on her motorcycle.

Li Yueshu hadn't even finished her meal when she excitedly pulled out 150 yuan:

"Pearl, after you left, I sold a set of clothes, a trench coat and a short-sleeved shirt."

This is the first set of clothes that Li Yueshu sold independently, and she feels a great sense of accomplishment.

"Sister Yue Shu is amazing, she got the hang of it so quickly."

Li Yueshu said apologetically, "I got a cheaper price for the short-sleeved shirt."

Bai Zhenzhu laughed and said, "It's alright. Summer clothes should have been cleared out anyway. It doesn't matter if we earn a little less."

Hearing her say that, Li Yueshu felt relieved.

Seeing that she was still a little reserved, Bai Zhenzhu said:

"Sister, those goods need to be sold to turn into money. I haven't set a fixed price, as long as it's not lower than the bottom price I told you."

The bottom price that Bai Zhenzhu gave to Li Yueshu was the price after she calculated the cost plus the profit. The selling price she asked for was usually double the bottom price, so Li Yueshu had a lot of room to make her own decisions.

Hearing Bai Zhenzhu say this, Li Yueshu became even more confident.

"Oh, right, Pearl." Liu Fang took out a note: "A customer who had dinner today left an address saying that the house there is for sale."

Finally, I bought another house.

The next morning, Li Yueshu went to the clothing store to open and clean, while Bai Zhenzhu delivered the payment to Xia He.

Hearing that there were houses on Happiness Street, Xia He urged Bai Zhenzhu to go and take a look.

"How about I go with you? You don't know the area well."

Xia He was genuinely worried because Bai Zhenzhu was so beautiful. She didn't know much about Bai Zhenzhu, but she knew there were plenty of shady characters in the city.

"Don't worry, I won't compete with you for the properties."

He then locked the money in the cabinet and pulled down and locked the roller shutter door, which wasn't fully open yet.

So quick and nimble, Bai Zhenzhu didn't even have time to refuse.

"I can go by myself, you own a shop."

"It's alright, there aren't many people around so early in the morning. I'll give you a ride on my motorcycle, it'll be faster. Let's go."

Xia He, having grown up in this county town, knew Xingfu Street very well; she could tell where it was just by looking at the name of the residential area.

"We passed by Jixiang Residential Area on our bikes last night."

It's not far; it only takes about ten minutes by bike.

There is a primary school not far from the community, and the location is quite good.

This is also an old residential area with red brick houses, which looks to have been built around the same time as Xingfu Residential Area.

There are quite a few people living there, and clothes and bedding are hung out to dry haphazardly on ropes in the small courtyard.

The clothes and bedding were covered with a spiderweb of electrical wires.

Someone's TV antenna was tied to the window frame, sticking out at an angle, forcing passersby to sidestep.

The apartment that Bai Zhenzhu wanted to see was on the first floor, in a corner location.

I knocked on the door, and a man in his thirties answered.

The man was stunned when he saw the white pearl, his face filled with amazement, his gaze direct and unrestrained.

"Hey, beautiful, who are you looking for?"

Xia He pulled Bai Zhenzhu back immediately, glaring coldly at the person:

"Your family is selling the house, right?"

Upon seeing Xia He, the man's expression remained unchanged.

Xia He may be fierce, but she's also beautiful and dresses fashionably.

"Buying a house? Come in."

The man opened the door and stepped aside, gesturing for Xia He and Bai Zhenzhu to come in.

Xia He turned around and exchanged a glance with Bai Zhenzhu. The two of them not only didn't go in, but also took a step back.
