Transmigrated as the Evil Stepmother, I Bully the Whole Family, Yay! Chapter 277
Zhong Yanyan and Nan Jingyu were persuaded so easily, and Lin Han played a big role in this. Over the years, he had always been filial to his parents-in-law, and his relationship with his wife was harmonious, which left them with no psychological burden.
When they arrived at the county town, Mingli's family and Yu Feng and his wife all went to the train station to see them off. Seeing everyone in low spirits, Nan Sheng spoke up to comfort them.
"If you have ti in the future, everyone should co to Jingdu to celebrate the New Year. Anyway, it's convenient to take a train from the city to Jingdu. If Uncle Yu and Auntie get bored at ho, you can head over anyti. There are so many delicious foods and fun things to do in Jingdu."
"Good, good, good. Once Mingli settles down in the city, we'll go over!"
After arriving in Jingdu, Lin Han first went back to the family compound. Since there wasn't much going on at the military district, he asked for leave to accompany his father-in-law to look for a suitable storefront.
Nan Sheng advised them to sign a lease for a few more years, or just buy it outright if the price wasn't too expensive. Housing prices in Jingdu had gone up a bit recently, but fortunately, Nan Sheng had deep pockets. Buying another comrcial property wasn't an issue and could serve as an investnt.
Nan Sheng stated that the profits would be split twenty-eighty, so the old couple wouldn't feel any pressure.
The purchase of the shop went very smoothly. Lin Han was efficient, and Nan Jingyu was not a fussy person. After three days, it was finalized, and they began processing the title transfer. The follow-up tasks were getting the business license and renovating the storefront.
When Nan Sheng wasn't busy, she would also go over to help keep an eye on things. They had to choose the sturdiest shelves, and the prices on them were marked clearly. Everything was ready before the students started school.
When it first opened, Nan Jingyu was a bit flustered. He really didn't expect the children in Jingdu to have so much pocket money. As soon as it was recess, so many of them ca out to buy snacks and soda.
A week after the opening, the old couple got used to it. Looking at the vibrant faces of the children, they felt much younger themselves. Among them, there were inevitably so kids who wanted to take petty advantages, slipping away without paying when it was crowded. They didn't take it to heart and just pretended not to see it.
Don't be fooled by the cheap items in the small shop; in just one month, they earned as much as they would in a year back in their hotown. They had to restock every two days.
Zhong Yanyan said happily, "Old man, our daughter really didn't lie to us. I don't even know how to spend all this money we're making."
"How is there nowhere to spend it? Xiao Feng, Dawa, and Qiqi aren't married yet. Let's save more money to leave for the kids!"
Zhong Yanyan was in charge of checking people out, while Nan Jingyu handled stocking, shelving, and replenishing goods. The couple worked with more and more enthusiasm!
With the rapid developnt of the economy and technology, the country's voice on the international stage grew louder, becoming an insurmountable mountain.
Xiao Yi had saved up a lot of money in the south. Following Nan Sheng's advice, he quickly invested in the real estate industry. Now, he had pivoted back to so major cities in the north for investnts. He also invested quite a bit in Beicheng; although the returns were slow, his good brother Mingli was there.
"Sister Nan, I finally get to see you. It really wasn't easy!"
Over the years, Xiao Yi had also found ti to co back a few tis. The first ti was to bring his wife ho to see his parents, and then he directly moved his parents to the south.
The subsequent visits were because he missed his brothers in the north. Every ti he ca back, he would get together with Mingli, and then Mingli would reach into his wallet, asking for money either to build roads or set up factories.
Xiao Yi had also been to Jingdu, but Nan Sheng's whereabouts had beco increasingly mysterious in recent years. Sotis even Lin Han couldn't contact her. Although Xiao Yi had beco a big boss, his personality was still as easygoing as before.
He felt that he was able to make so much money precisely because he listened well. Whichever industry Nan Sheng suggested he explore, he would honestly work on it, and before he knew it, he had scaled it up.
"Long ti no see, Brother Yi. How co you have a little belly now? It seems the south really nourishes people!" Nan Sheng's tone was teasing.
Xiao Yi instantly felt like the sky was falling. It was over; Sister Nan was disgusted with him.
"I'll start eating less from today on, and I'll definitely lose this belly. Sigh, I don't know since when, but all business deals have to be done at the dinner table with alcohol. Even as an authentic Beicheng man, I can hardly handle it anymore."
The two hadn't seen each other for years, and for a mont, they had endless things to talk about. He had flown back and even brought lobsters and hairy crabs for Nan Sheng.
During dinner that night, Nan Sheng served the seafood on the table and personally cooked other dishes to welco Xiao Yi. When Father Nan and Mother Nan ca back and saw Xiao Yi, they almost didn't recognize him.
"Why didn't you bring your wife and child back for a visit?"
Xiao Yi ca back this ti to discuss cooperation, and he hadn't even held out hope of seeing Nan Sheng. "Next ti, I'll definitely bring them along. When the ti cos, Auntie, please don't complain that we visit too often."
Father Nan and Mother Nan also had so complaints about their daughter frequently not being at ho. "Not to ntion you can't see her, even us old folks have a hard ti seeing her. In Qiqi's words, we have to make an appointnt in advance!"
Speak of the devil and he shall appear; Qiqi just walked through the door at that mont. Seeing there was a guest at ho, she ca over to say hello.
Nan Sheng smiled and asked her, "Can you tell who this is?"
Qiqi looked at Xiao Yi and found him a bit familiar, but she really couldn't call out his na. This ti, Xiao Yi was truly heartbroken.
"Qiqi, have you forgotten? I'm your Uncle Xiao!"
Uncle Xiao?
Qiqi opened her mouth wide. How did Uncle Xiao Yi beco so greasy? "Uncle Xiao, how did you get so fat? I couldn't even recognize you!"
Xiao Yi felt like he had been shot in the heart with two more arrows. Dieting, he must go on a diet. No matter who tried to persuade him otherwise, it wouldn't work!
Qiqi had been working for several years now. Compared to when she first graduated, her personality was much more steady and she had beco capable. Aside from being unable to leave ho, she had no flaws.
After she entered the governnt, a particularly excellent young man liked her. He had a good family background, good character, and good looks, but he just couldn't win her favor. The poor guy was almost heartbroken.
One day, he gathered the courage to ask, "Comrade Siqi, I want to know what aspect of makes you dissatisfied. Tell , and if I can't change it, I will never bother you again!"
Qiqi was quite honest. "You are good in every way, but I don't want to get married yet, and I especially don't want to leave ho!"
The boy thought, what kind of issue is that? They could date for a few years before getting married. He imdiately expressed that he would definitely respect Qiqi's wishes.
Siqi argued plausibly, "That won't do. Any dating that isn't for the purpose of marriage is just playing around like a hooligan, and I don't want to be a hooligan."
She made the boy so angry that he directly had his family use their connections to transfer him away, going ho to nurse his wounded little heart.
When Nan Sheng found out about this, she laughed for a long ti. Looking at Lin Han's anxious appearance, she said, "Relax. Qiqi just hasn't opened her mind to love yet. When true fate arrives, you won't be able to keep her around for another two years even if you wanted to."
Among everyone, Qiqi ate the most seafood. Seeing this, Xiao Yi said, "If you like it, Uncle Xiao will send you so every now and then. You can eat as much as you want."
Qiqi deliberately glanced at her grandma and grandpa, pouting as she said, "That won't work. What if I get fat and can't get married?"
Old people, after all, just hope their children will settle down early and have soone to rely on. They had nagged Qiqi quite a bit in their daily lives, telling her not to be too picky.
Xiao Yi didn't know the inside story, but as a businessman, he was highly adaptable and understood the mindset of young people who didn't want to start a family too early.
"We aren't afraid of not being able to get married. Uncle has a son at ho. If you don't mind that he's younger, you are welco to marry into our family whenever you want. Not to brag, but that boy is absolutely handso!"
Nan Sheng was so exasperated by Xiao Yi that she couldn't help but laugh. "How old is your son anyway? There is a ten-year age gap between the two kids."
Xiao Yi looked completely unbothered. "So what? You know what they say, 'a wife three years older brings a gold brick.' If my son is lucky, he can just hold a few extra gold bricks!"
He was kicking himself for getting married so late. If the kids were around the sa age, he would have simply packed his son up and shipped him over. But since his son was still in school, he felt too embarrassed to ask Sister Nan to help look after him...
