After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 1471 I Have White Hair

"A chance encounter, an apology and a treat. No matter how I look at it, everything seems to be deliberate. I hope Deng Fan is alright with all this," Xia Wen said.

"No, he's very understanding," Xia He said.

"You don't have to worry. I'll handle this matter. You and Qiao Mei should go and rest early. It's been a tiring period for you too." After saying that, Xia Wen returned to his own room in the backyard. Even if he wanted to do something, he would have to wait until daytime.

Xia He looked at Xia Wen's departing figure for a long time before saying, "Am I never able to get anything done right? Why do I always make Eldest Brother worried?"

She had caught sight of one or two strands of white hair on Xia Wen's head just now. Xia Wen was not even 40 years old, but he already had white hair. This was all because he toiled too much.

White hair was not necessarily caused by stress. Sometimes it was related to diet!

"Stop letting your imagination run wild! Go and sleep!" Qiao Mei said.

Xia He shook her head gently, as if she could get rid of all these troubling matters by doing this. She said happily to Qiao Mei, "I'll listen to you! Don't think about these things! Let me tell you! The show is doing well! I'm going to get a big bonus!"

"Bonus? How much is the bonus?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.

In this line of work, one could make a lot of money once one was famous. The theater was in charge of selling the tickets and would take a small percentage as commission. If the price of a ticket was 10 dollars, then Xia He would get 50 cents. The initial plan was for Xia He to perform five shows. For every sold out show, she would get at least 1,000 dollars.

That was not all. In total, she should be able to get 6,000 dollars!

"Heavens! That's quite a lot!" Qiao Mei said in surprise.

"That's right, I'm thinking about how to spend this money! Tell me what you want! I'll buy it all for you!" Xia He said generously.

After thinking about it, Qiao Mei still liked properties the most. She suddenly thought of something and said, "Why not… I'll sell you that house for 5,000 dollars!"

Qiao Mei was talking about the small house which she had just bought. It was near her house and there were a total of four rooms. Qiao Mei had bought two houses which were opposite each other. Back then, Xia He had felt that the other house she offered was too big. Given that this house was even smaller than Li Gui's place, Xia He should feel satisfied.

"For 5,000 dollars! You spent 10,000 dollars to buy it back then! Don't make such a loss-making deal!" Xia He said.

"Am I someone who does business at a loss? I'm talking about the house that I just bought recently. It has just been renovated and I've redone everything both inside and outside. It's just that I haven't bought the furniture yet. You can think about it. I'll sell it to you for 5,000 dollars and I won't make a loss. Don't worry," Qiao Mei said.

Seeing how determined Qiao Mei was, Xia He felt a little tempted. She had always wanted to have her own house. Deng Fan's current house was a rental unit. Recently, Deng Rui had told her that he wanted to buy it and had already discussed it with the owner of the house, but Xia He still preferred to stay near Qiao Mei.

Dancers did not always get a bonus for performances. They only had one or two chances to perform in a year and sometimes, they may even need to spend more than what they made!

"I have to go back and discuss this with Deng Fan. I can't just decide on this matter on a whim," Xia He said seriously.

"It's alright, I'll always set aside this house for you," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

"Why do you want Eldest Brother and me to stay around your area?" Xia He asked.

"Because I want you to help me take care of the children! How's that for a reason!" Qiao Mei said.

In another 20 years, property prices would skyrocket crazily. One square meter might only cost about 10 dollars now, but in the future, every square meter here would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!

Qiao Mei really wanted Xia Wen and Xia He to get rich alongside her. She did not want the three siblings to have too much of a gap when it came to their personal wealth. At this moment, she would just keep persuading them to buy a house. Even if Qiao Mei had to make a loss to get it done, she was more than willing to do it.

In any case, she had a lot of money. In the future, she would just keep getting richer and richer, so much so that she would not have space to store her money in the house! When the time came, she would ask Qiao Qiang and Li Gui to sit at home and count money every day. Whenever they saw money, they would feel like throwing up!

"Then I'll buy it! After that, I'll get Deng Fan to design it for me. Can I put him in charge of the furniture?" Xia He said.

"Sure. I have to pay him his salary at the end of the construction period anyway," Qiao Mei said.
