After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 878

878 Good Stuff

This was also what Xu Lan wanted to say to Qiao Mei. With her status, it would not be appropriate for her to move into Qiao Mei’s courtyard house to take care of Qiao Mei. Once she moved in, her husband’s second and third brothers’ families would definitely have an issue with it. Tan Jing was also not an easy person to deal with.

Tan Jing had been eyeing the courtyard house for many years and had always urged Xu Lan to move in so that her own family could also come over to live there and enjoy life.

“Let’s wait a little longer. Eldest brother, I’m fine. Don’t worry. Besides, I still have elder sister by my side! She can protect me too.” Qiao Mei held Xia He’s hand and smiled at Xia Wen.

Xia He raised her head smugly and showed Xia Wen the muscles on her arm. She said confidently, “Don’t worry!”

!!
Xia Wen thought to himself, “Qiao Mei is fine because she’s lucky. It has nothing to do with Xia He. If anything really happens, it’s already good enough if Xia He doesn’t cause trouble for Qiao Mei.”

“I can really protect Qiao Mei!” Xia He said anxiously as she looked at Xia Wen’s doubtful gaze.

“Fine, fine, fine. I’ll trust you,” Xia Wen said resignedly.

Li Gui brought out a lot of popcorn and seeds from the house and stuffed them all into Xia Wen’s hands. During this season, there were no vegetables growing at home, so she only had these few things to give away.

“Xiao Wen, bring it back to eat with Tan Jing. There’s a new flavor!” Li Gui said with a smile.

Li Gui had recently come up with a new flavor. By now, not only was her popcorn selling well near the cinema, it was also selling well at the train station.

People who passed by could not resist buying a bag of popcorn from her. Some people even bought them in big bags! There were also many people who came to buy up all her stock at one shot.

Li Gui did not deliberately market her popcorn as a specialty item of the capital. Qiao Mei said that this method of making popcorn was not unique to them. Once others found out how to do it and everyone started making popcorn in the same way as her family did, they would no longer be making anything special.

Furthermore, the world was so big. What if there were identical items already being sold elsewhere?

However, the news spread like wildfire among the customers. The popcorn became known as a specialty product from the capital and anyone who passed by had to buy a packet and bring it home.

Many peddlers were extremely envious when they saw how well Li Gui was doing, but they did not have her ability and could only feel envious.

One day, when Li Gui was selling popcorn, a fashionably dressed woman came to the stall with a child.

The child was very good-looking and looked different from other children. She thought that the child seemed to be mixed-race. The child was holding onto a huge piece of chocolate.

“How much is the popcorn?” the woman asked.

Li Gui hesitated for a long time before replying, “Oh! It’s 50 cents a bag!”

The woman nodded in satisfaction and took out two dollars from her pocket to buy four bags. However, Li Gui did not reach out for the money for a long time and kept staring at the child. The woman quickly hugged her child tightly.

“What do you want! Why do you keep looking at my child!” the woman said angrily.

Li Gui quickly apologized and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’m not looking at your child! I’m looking at the thing in his hand! I also have four children. It’s just that I see your child enjoying it so much and I’m thinking about letting my children try it. I don’t have any ill intentions!”

The older woman who manned the stall next to Li Gui also testified for her, “She really has four children!”

The woman gradually let down her guard and took out a brand new box of chocolates from her bag. “I bought this for my son. His father brought it back from overseas. I can give it to you.”

“How can I accept that! Then… then I’ll give you these four bags of popcorn! No, no, no! Six bags! You can take them all! There’s no need to pay!” Li Gui said excitedly.

The woman did not stand on ceremony with Li Gui and left with the six bags of popcorn. Li Gui carefully placed the chocolates into her breast pocket, worried that she would lose them in her bag. Then, she brought them home while feeling satisfied with herself.

The first thing she did when she got home was not to give it to the four children, but to look for Qiao Mei. She was sure that Qiao Mei had definitely never eaten such an interesting thing before!

“Mei Mei! I brought you some good stuff! Guess what it is!” Li Gui held her chest tightly and smiled so widely that the corners of her mouth almost reached her ears.
