The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Chapter 88 Ten Thousand Yuan Household

After seeing off the talkative man, Xu Xiaohua and Li Guifang hurried to Xu Xiufang's side, their eyes full of anticipation and curiosity.

"Did you really sell the things you collected? I always thought that the scrap metal you collected could only be used for some small repair jobs." Li Guifang was both surprised and impressed by Xu Xiufang's ability.

Xu Xiufang's eyes were firm, and her tone revealed an unparalleled ambition: "I will do everything I have decided to do. We will first accumulate the start-up capital. Once we exceed the 10,000 yuan mark, I will plan to buy a store and open my own factory."

Although the words were heroic, the smile on Li Guifang's face froze slightly. She thought it would be better not to jump to conclusions too early, lest Xiufang become complacent and lose her sense of proportion.

Xu Xiaohua winked at Li Guifang tacitly, and the two of them began to clean up the messy scene tacitly.

Xu Xiaohua came back from the city in a good mood. Today's harvest made her pocket a little fatter. Although two dollars is not a lot, it accumulates to almost four dollars.

Such numbers would have been simply a fantasy to her in the past.

However, in Xu Xiufang's eyes, these seemed to be just the beginning.

"Her ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. She even dreams of becoming a millionaire." Xu Xiaohua had mixed feelings. On the one hand, she was proud of her sister's ambitions, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but worry whether she was too ambitious.

She decided to work with Li Guifang to give Xu Xiufang some realistic reminders in a timely manner.

Li Guifang nodded in agreement and added: "Not to mention in our village, even in the whole town, it is rare to find a family with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan."

While they were busy moving the goods, Xu Xiufang was already carefully cleaning the newly bought duck, preparing a bowl of nourishing duck soup to replenish her tiredness in the evening.

Just then, a shrill engine roar broke the silence, and a dusty motorcycle rushed into the yard.

"Boss Xu, right? I have an outsourcing mission. The reward is one thousand yuan. I need you to build an imported CNC machine tool."

The man took off his sunglasses, and his flamboyant look was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

A shirt with large floral prints and an open collar that reveals his chest. He has a thick gold chain around his neck and a shiny gold watch on his wrist.

The way he is dressed doesn't look like a serious businessman at all.

Xu Xiaohua and Li Guifang stood aside, stunned by this dramatic turn of events. They looked at each other with mixed feelings, and almost hugged each other and cried.

If you can earn a thousand per trip, wouldn’t it be easy to make over ten thousand with ten trips?

It turned out that it was not Xu Xiufang who was unrealistic, but they themselves were short-sighted.

"I don't have time." Xu Xiufang rolled her eyes at the man unhappily, feeling vaguely that this man might have been sent by Zhou Xiaoyun to deliberately cause trouble.

Thinking back to the last time she was intercepted midway, leaving her unprepared, she would never allow herself to fall into the same trap again this time.

However, she changed her mind and thought that it would be too easy to let him go so easily. She had to find his weakness and accumulate bargaining chips for the future head-on confrontation with Zhou Xiaoyun.

"Oh, my factory is in urgent need! Without gears, the Agricultural Machinery Bureau is short of spare parts. Isn't this enough money?"

The man frowned anxiously and urged again and again, as if the matter was extremely urgent.

He asked for a huge sum of thousands of yuan right away. Did he think he was defrauding a three-year-old child?

Even a factory manager like Chen Anping, who owns a huge industry, has never been so generous. What's more, this figure is far beyond the normal range of market conditions, which makes people suspicious.

Just as Xu Xiufang was thinking about how to teach this self-righteous man a lesson and let him know the consequences of looking down on others, Xu Xiaohua and Li Guifang, with anxious faces, hurried forward to persuade him: "Take it. Such a large sum of money, in our small village, it would be extremely difficult to find someone to come up with eight or nine hundred yuan. You only need to make this trip and get a thousand yuan easily. Where can you find such a good thing?"

Xu Xiufang sighed inwardly, these two people were too naive and had no sense of guard at all.

Today, let her teach them a lesson, so that they will not suffer from the double deception of money and emotions in the outside world in the future because of excessive trust.

She did not rush to answer their questions, but turned her gaze to the man on the motorcycle parked nearby and said calmly: "Okay, but you have to help me move this TV first, then I can go with you."

Upon hearing this, the man quickly jumped out of the car, walked forward quickly, and helped with the carrying with a diligent look on his face.

When his attention was attracted by the TV, Xu Xiufang took the opportunity to pretend to be curious and nimbly climbed onto the motorcycle. With a twist of her finger, the motorcycle immediately made a roaring sound, "boom boom..."

The man was startled and turned around quickly, trying to grab her.

At this moment, Xu Xiufang's doubts grew even stronger: this person was willing to spend a large sum of money to repair an old TV, but he treasured his motorcycle so much that he was afraid that others would touch it. The motive behind this must be unfathomable and by no means as simple as it seemed.

"Your motorcycle is so cool. I'll take it there later. How about that?"

Xu Xiufang's smile is as beautiful as a flower, revealing a pair of cute little fangs. She looks innocent on the outside, but in fact her mind is as delicate as a net and can see through all calculations.

"No problem. When do you plan to leave?" The man seemed to have given up his obsession with the motorcycle and asked about the departure time instead.

Xu Xiufang seemed unhurried and replied calmly: "I originally had other plans, but the price you offered was so attractive. After thinking it over carefully, I decided to accompany you on this trip."

When the man heard this, an expression of joy that was hard to conceal suddenly appeared on his face, and Xu Xiaohua and Li Guifang also smiled, as if a spring breeze was blowing on their faces, and they felt extremely relaxed.

"How about this, I'll only charge you 500 for the repairs, and you can pay 200 to buy the TV, what do you think?"

Xu Xiufang pointed at the old TV beside her, with a trace of helplessness between her brows.

When the man heard this, he was immediately caught in a dilemma. He wanted to make money, but now he had to lose two hundred dollars. No one could accept this kind of business.

Just as he was about to start the motorcycle and drive away, Xu Xiufang had already quickly pulled out the car key and held it in her hand.

"Why, you're willing to pay a thousand dollars for the repairs, but you hesitate when it comes to seven hundred dollars? How can you still do business if you haggle like this? Won't you even have to pawn your pants when you lose so much money?"

Although Xu Xiaohua and Li Guifang didn't understand the mystery, they still agreed: "Yes, 700 yuan not only helps us, but also solves your problem. What a good deal."

Sweat continued to drip down the man's forehead, and he was extremely anxious.

Zhou Xiaoyun had told him before that Xu Xiufang's TV was only sold for a total of one thousand yuan. So, after deducting two hundred yuan, there would only be eight hundred yuan left. How could he guarantee that his boss would agree, let alone this seemingly generous investment?
