After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 872
872 Cooperation
However, when Qiao Yu returned, she was always freezing. Sometimes, she was so cold that her teeth chattered. If her rich relatives cared about her, why would they let her come back on her own in such cold weather? They would have arranged for a car to send her back.
It seemed that Qiao Yu was not valued much and that the rich relatives did not really like her.
They reckoned that the boyfriend these relatives found for her would not be someone doing too well either. He might be just like them!
Many people in this factory were still unmarried in their 30s and had spent most of their lives working in this factory. Sister Wang and a few of the other women were around 28 years old and had never been married.
!!
They were all jealous that Qiao Yu was good-looking and had suitors. They thought that if they secretly spread the news that Qiao Yu had rich relatives, other people would become scared of Qiao Yu.
Unexpectedly, not only was no one afraid, but a group of men even came to their workshop to ask about who Qiao Yu was. A few of them even openly wooed Qiao Yu!
For a moment, Qiao Yu became very popular.
Whenever Qiao Yu thought of the scene when she went to Su Yang’s house yesterday, she would become afraid. If she married into the family and had a mother-in-law like Old Madam Fan, she would definitely not have a good life!
For all she knew, Old Madam Fan would vent her frustration on her whenever she was angry.
Pfft, pfft, pfft! No matter who she married, she would not marry Su Yang!
Qiao Yu did not want to marry such a person at all. In the future, she wanted to marry into a family like the Xia family, one that was rich and powerful.
If Qiao Mei could do it, she could do it too! She did not lack an arm or a leg, so why should she lose to Qiao Mei!
After work today, she still wanted to go to the cinema to look around. She must find out where Li Gui lived!
Li Gui used her newly modified vehicle to travel to the cinema to sell popcorn. The ambient temperature had gone up now and there was not much snow left after yesterday. She could still manage to drive her modified vehicle on the road.
In another half a month’s time, when the temperature dropped and the snow became heavier, Li Gui would remove the wheels and leave only a board behind. At that time, it would be more convenient to push the cart and slide on the frozen road than to use the wheels!
In the winter, only half the usual crowd would come to watch movies. A few people even specially came to the entrance of the cinema to buy a few more bags of popcorn from Li Gui.
In the end, there was not much popcorn left in the big basket.
The peddler, Zhao Fei, approached Li Gui slowly. He wanted to do business with Li Gui and do more sales!
He was a seed seller. Now that he had sold most of the seeds, he did not have any other items to sell. Seeing that Li Gui’s business was doing so well, he wanted to come and learn from her.
“Sister, I sell seeds over there. I just want to ask why you don’t sell seeds anymore?” Zhao Fei asked with a chuckle.
Li Gui looked at Zhao Fei warily. Back then, many peddlers had come to surround her and even smashed her stall when they asked her about the seeds.
Zhao Fei also knew about what had happened previously. He quickly waved his hands and said, “Sister, don’t be afraid! I’m not here to cause trouble! I just want to ask you where you bought the seeds. My business is not going well. Sister, can you help me? Don’t worry, I’ll give you a share of the profits. I won’t take them for free!”
Seeing that Zhao Fei was quite upfront and did not seem to be looking for trouble, Li Gui slowly relaxed.
“I’m from another city. I harvested those seeds in my village,” Li Gui said softly.
“Then sister, why aren’t you selling them anymore? I see that you’ve been selling popcorn recently,” Zhao Fei asked curiously.
“I didn’t bring that much with me when I came here. I already sold out everything I have,” Li Gui said truthfully.
Zhao Fei pondered for a moment and said, “Sister, do you still intend to sell it next year? If you do, then count me in! I’ll buy my supply from you! What do you think about 35 cents a pound!”
Li Gui felt like telling Zhao Fei the truth. In their village, they sold these seeds for one dollar a pound. She did not even want to give them to Zhao Fei at 50 cents a pound, let alone 35 cents a pound.
He had really underestimated the cost of the seeds. If she did business with him, she would definitely lose money.
No, no! She still had to do it herself!
“My daughter will already have children next year. I might not be able to return to the village to plant them. Besides, my house in the capital only has a small space and can only produce about 100 pounds. It’s not even enough for me to sell. I really can’t help you,” Li Gui said awkwardly.
If the issue was not having enough land, then it was simple! Zhao Fei’s supply of seeds was all planted by his relatives and he bought his supply from them. They could plant Li Gui’s variety of seeds next year. Then, both Li Gui and him would have enough seeds to sell.
