The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

She knew in her heart that the kindness of the village party secretary and his eager anticipation for the village's development were the driving force behind building this road and erecting that bridge.

Fortunately, these old-fashioned sewing machines have a simple structure and do not contain much high-tech content. Even if the accessories are damaged and replaced, there will be no loss. As for how much you can earn, it really depends on fate.

This business deal was originally a piece of fat meat, enough to make one's wallet almost burst. However, it was a pity that the quotation had been spilled and could not be taken back. Talking about profit and loss at this moment was like looking at flowers in the fog or the moon in the water, which was difficult to predict.

Xu Xiufang deliberately frowned, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, as if she was both helpless and a little amused by this sudden turn of events.

She changed the subject, adding a bit of urgency to her tone: "If those key parts are not in place within three days, then the duck in the mouth will probably flap its wings and fly away."

After saying this, her gaze involuntarily drifted off into the distance.

Upon hearing this, the village party secretary's heart suddenly tightened. His intervention, which was originally intended with good intentions, now seemed like a good deed gone awry. Anxiety and self-blame appeared on his face.

He looked at Xu Xiufang carefully, his voice slightly hesitant: "Well, what should we do? Can't we go and buy those parts right now?"

His words were filled with anxiety and uneasiness, fearing that his decision would drag down the girl who had once given him a headache.

Xu Xiufang shook her head slightly and said, "Let me check carefully first and make a list of what I need. After that, I'll trouble Sister Li to buy it for me."

Her tone was gentle but firm, as if everything was under control.

"You are the village party secretary. There are so many things to do in the village. You can't let this little thing of mine distract you. Time is precious and you can't waste it."

Xu Xiufang's thoughtful words made the village party secretary feel inexplicably moved.

In his eyes, Xu Xiufang seemed to have grown up overnight. She was no longer the girl who only knew how to make trouble, but a mature woman who was considerate and thoughtful.

The village party secretary sighed in his heart that in life, one must always struggle through ups and downs to truly learn to grow and take responsibility.

"Okay! Then do as you wish. If you have any good opportunities in the future, remember to discuss with me." He said with a smile, his eyes full of encouragement and trust.

Xu Xiufang nodded and smiled brightly: "Okay, don't worry."

As the village party secretary's figure gradually faded away, Xu Xiufang plunged into her work, carefully checking the old sewing machine.

Every wire and every gear was magnified in her eyes, as if she was appreciating a work of art.

After finishing the inspection, she patted her butt and sat down on the doorstep. The setting sun stretched her shadow long, making her look lonely and tough.

Seeing this, Li Guifang came over with a worried look on her face, frowning, "What's wrong? You said you might lose money, is that true?"

Li Guifang's eyes were full of worry, which made Xu Xiufang realize that her seriousness just now might have scared this kind woman.

So, she quickly put on a relaxed expression, with a smile on her face: "Oh, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, this machine is just a minor problem, we can still make a lot of money after repairing it."

Her voice was warm and confident, and seemed to have a magical power that made the air around them become relaxed and cheerful.

When Li Guifang heard this, her face suddenly brightened up and she was delighted: "Oh, it's good to be able to make money. Seeing you like this, I am really happy for you. Tell me, what else do you need? I will buy it for you right away. I am not well educated, so I can't help with big things, but I can still do small things like running errands."

Looking at Li Guifang's enthusiastic face, Xu Xiufang thought to herself that although she could make a name for herself alone, her strength was limited after all.

Thinking that Li Guifang's family was not wealthy, she had little land, and her family's livelihood mostly depended on pensions, I had promised to help her before, and now the opportunity was right in front of me.

After careful consideration, Xu Xiufang decided to invite Li Guifang to work together to expand the scale of the repair shop first, accumulate enough capital, and then plan for greater development, such as entering the home appliance market or even opening a factory to become a real industrialist.

"Sister Li, why don't we work together? Let you experience what it's like to be the boss."

Xu Xiufang's eyes were bright, full of sincerity and expectation.

Li Guifang was stunned. She did not expect Xu Xiufang to make such a suggestion. For a moment, she felt that the words were both ambitious and irrelevant.

She smiled bitterly, thinking that Xu Xiufang's idea was too naive: "How can I understand these things? Besides, I am a rural woman, what can I know and how can I help you?"

However, Xu Xiufang gently waved her hand, her eyes insisting: "Sister Li, you are wrong to think so. Yes, you are a rural woman, but you are in your prime, just in your early thirties, it is a good age to work hard. This era is unpredictable, opportunities are everywhere, as long as we have the determination, dare to think and dare to do, nothing is impossible."

Li Guifang was amused by Xu Xiufang's passionate words. She almost forgot that as a woman who was already over 30 years old, there were still so many variables and possibilities in her life.

Perhaps, as Xu Xiufang said, everything is possible as long as you take that step bravely.

She is not a young girl in her prime, and it seems that she can have a hope of changing her fate if she marries into a well-off family.

But life is often not that simple.

"Let's not talk about age and education for now. I have a question for you. Do you have the courage to do it?" Xu Xiufang's eyes flashed with seriousness and expectation.

Upon hearing this, Li Guifang couldn't help but feel a bit of respect in her heart.

After all, her life has indeed improved a lot since Xu Xiufang appeared.

Although she was still nervous about following Xu Xiufang into the business world.

"Just go ahead and talk. I'm all ears." Li Guifang's voice was mixed with sincerity and gratitude.

"Are you willing to help me attract customers?" Xu Xiufang asked the question directly, her eyes sparkling.

Li Guifang answered without hesitation: "Of course. Although I don't have much education, I am good at observing people's expressions and chatting with them. Who doesn't know how to get close to others?"

When she said this, a confident and simple smile appeared on her face.

"Okay, it's settled. From now on, I'll give you five dollars a day as a reward. Not only will you help me attract clients, but you'll also have to assist me with some daily chores and run errands."

Xu Xiufang stood up and brushed off the dust on her clothes.

Li Guifang was so surprised that she could hardly believe her ears. She quickly declined, saying, "We are all from the same village. Isn't it normal for us to help each other out and introduce each other? Why are you so polite? I really feel embarrassed to accept the money."
