Su Mingxian shrugged dismissively. "What else can I say? What guarantee can a country woman like me offer? The real question is, even if I give them a guarantee, will they believe it?"
Wang Daguo was momentarily at a loss for words, while Su Mingxian smiled and said, "Don't worry. With the good treatment we offer, how could we not attract people? Just wait and see; we'll definitely have good news today."
After saying this, Su Mingxian continued to entertain her son, but then—
"Where did this silver lock come from?"
Su Mingxian looked at Qian Qian in surprise, and then—
"And what about this flower in your hair? Qian Qian, what's going on?"
Seeing her mother’s serious expression, the little girl clutched her clothes tightly. "It was... it was given by Great-Grandma."
"Great-Grandma?" Su Mingxian was taken aback. "When did she come?"
At that moment, Sister Liu, who was busy washing the dough, spoke up. "Grandma Ruan has been coming over these days. She helps take care of the kids and makes Liangpi during the day, then goes home before dinner."
Su Mingxian frowned at this. Sister Liu glanced at her and said, "Xiao Su, don’t blame me for being nosy. Grandma Ruan actually cares about you all. The Ruan family is your husband’s maternal family after all. It’s not good to be at odds with them like this."
Seeing Su Mingxian remain silent, Sister Liu continued, "Grandpa Ruan has a stubborn temper, but he’s not unreasonable. We’ve been neighbors for so long; who doesn’t know what kind of person Wang Fang is? You can’t judge everyone by one standard. Besides—"
She lowered her voice and added, "Qian Qian is getting older; she should be starting school this year. Her father is a child of educated youth, and the government has policies that allow her household registration to be transferred back to Shanghai. This way, she can come here and attend school in Shanghai. We can’t let the child fall behind in her education, right?"
“Xiao Su, listen to your sister-in-law. Just soften up a bit, think of it as doing it for the child's future,” she urged.
Sister Liu's words came from the heart. Su Mingxian understood it was for her own good, but she shook her head. “Sister Liu, I have everything arranged. Once I earn enough money, I’ll buy a place in Shanghai. All these issues will be resolved, so you don’t need to worry about it. I know what to do regarding the Ruan Family; let’s not trouble Grandma Ruan anymore.”
It was quite unexpected for the Ruan Family Matriarch to offer help, especially since she was destined to divorce Shen Chi. Why complicate things with the Ruan Family?
When Sister Liu heard about the plan to buy a house, she was taken aback. “Buying a house? How much will that cost?”
Wang Daguo, who was nearby, also looked surprised. “Sister Xian, not only are the work units’ supply houses in high demand, but even the Foreign Sales Housing requires local residency. Besides, those houses are really expensive—”
Before he could finish, Su Mingxian interrupted him. “So what if they’re expensive? Look at your attitude! Work hard and earn money; there’s nothing you can’t buy!”
Wang Daguo scratched his head and chuckled foolishly at her response.
Su Mingxian had already been considering buying a house for some time. The current housing prices were reasonable, and in two or three months, new policies regarding residency registration for home purchases in Shanghai would be implemented.
She hadn’t had the chance in her past life, and this time she didn’t want to miss out. She needed to save up quickly and aim to finalize the house purchase before her daughter started school.
Currently, she could sell five to six hundred servings of Liangpi each day, yielding nearly a thousand in pure profit. With over three months until school started, she could earn around a hundred thousand.
However, that still wasn’t enough to buy a good house. Therefore, she needed to think about how to expand her business.
