Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007: I’ll Find a Way to Get the Money

Zheng Zhiyang naturally knew some news and agreed: "That’s certainly true."

Qi Baocheng didn’t have much money, but he took the words to heart.

Ling Tianze nodded in agreement: "Okay, I still have some money on hand. It should be enough to buy a small courtyard. Zhiyang, keep an eye out for me after the new year."

Zheng Zhiyang promptly agreed: "Alright, I’ll let you know if there’s anything suitable."

Then, Zheng Zhiyang spoke seriously: "Young Master, there are indeed a few plots of land scheduled for auction after the new year, but auctioning land is entirely different from buying a house. Buying a house is just small-scale dealing, while auctioning land can involve tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, it’s no joking matter."

Xinyan naturally understood that land auctions require money, and a lot of it. "I’ll think of a way for the money, just keep an eye on the land for me."

Though she said this, Xinyan still felt uncertain; after all, the money she had wouldn’t be enough for a land auction. It seemed she not only needed to find a way to make the money from the space legitimate, but also needed to find more money.

The group chatted a bit more about work arrangements for after the new year, and as the conversation was winding down, Song Zhanming came over to call them.

Ge Suhua was quite skilled, and when Xinyan and the others went over, the dishes were already on the table. She saw them enter and smiled invitingly: "Take a seat, the dishes are just ready."

She also placed the prepared bottles of white wine on the table.

Ling Tianze spoke up: "Brother Song, let’s not drink today. We all have things to do this afternoon; we’re afraid if we start drinking, we might not stop in time, and drinking too much might cause trouble."

This was a rule Xinyan set for them: don’t drink and drive, don’t drive after drinking. They had things to do that afternoon, and both small trucks from Chongyang Village had come back, conveniently aiding their errands these few days.

Song Zhanming didn’t insist and turned to Ge Suhua: "Get a few bottles of soda from the store for us to drink instead."

Ge Suhua acknowledged, untied her apron, and went out the door.

Soon, Chen Manjuan returned with her, both carrying sodas.

Ge Suhua smiled at Chen Manjuan: "You sit, I’ll put the sodas in warm water for a bit, or they’ll be too cold."

Qi Baocheng stopped her: "No need to warm them, just leave them in the room for a while and they won’t be too cold. If you warm the soda, it won’t taste as good."

Everyone agreed: "Don’t bother, drinking them cold is just fine."

Song Zhanming cared for people: "Suhua, since everyone likes them cold, let’s start drinking right away, you sit down too."

Ge Suhua felt warm inside from her husband’s care: "Alright, I’m coming."

Xinyan glanced around the room: "Where are the two kids, why don’t I see them?"

Song Zhanming naturally understood who Xinyan was asking about: "They were taken by their aunt yesterday, worried we might be too busy with the store to tend to them."

During the meal, the conversation was lively, bringing everyone closer.

After the meal, Xinyan met the newly hired sewing workers, with a line of thirty sewing machines busy in the operation room.

Chen Manjuan guided Xinyan around and pointed to a few people inside: "They are the newly hired temporary sewing workers."

One of them lived nearby and had seen Xinyan before: "Boss, can we stay after the new year?"

Xinyan looked at her; the work was fairly decent: "We’ll discuss after the new year whether you can stay. That depends on Manager Chen."

The woman realized her potential mistake, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Right, right, Manager Chen is in charge here, she knows best. I’ll make sure to do my work well and strive to stay."
