Chapter 76: Sent to the Army

“Oh～Who’s your grandfather?” Liu Baoguo said indifferently.

Li Guifang only then saw a room full of people, “Uncle…Uncle…how did I get here?”

At this time, Uncle Liu brought in a person, “You tell them.”

“Yes, leader.” The person responded.

Without even glancing at Li Guifang, it was as if only Uncle Liu was in the living room.

“Li Guifang was extorted by a gang of thugs a year ago. She told their leader that she was the granddaughter of a high-ranking official, and that she would protect these thugs.”

“After that, she stayed with the thugs, using the high-ranking official’s name to do many things. At first, it was just extortion, but later she became bolder, engaging in speculation and profiteering, and provoking trouble. However, because…”

At this point, the person paused, looking at Liu Baoguo and Uncle Liu, “Fortunately, nothing too serious happened, so it wasn’t investigated further…”

“Today, when we went there, Li Guifang was drunk, and one of the thugs was molesting her, just one step away from…”

After the person finished speaking, Li Guifang shouted incredulously, “Impossible, how dare he, how dare he.”

“Shut your mouth! The old man ordered that after you wake up, you’ll be sent to be a female soldier. You must do whatever others tell you to do.”

“If you ever dare to use the old man’s name again, I’ll break your leg. Our Liu family can’t afford to support a cripple.” Liu Baoguo said with a livid face.

“Uncle…I won’t dare again, please don’t send me…Mom, Mom, please say something for me…” Li Guifang cried.

“Big brother, I promise I’ll watch over her from now on, please don’t send her to the army.” Liu Shumin cried and pleaded.

“Take her away.” With Liu Baoguo’s words, Li Guifang was taken away.

“Liu Shumin, from now on, my father and I will not support you anymore. You’re on your own.” Liu Baoguo’s aura suppressed Liu Shumin so much that she couldn’t say a word.

“If you dare to use anyone from the Liu family’s name to do things, just wait for Li Yimin to beat you up. The Liu family won’t help you then.” Liu Baoguo said coldly.

Liu Shumin didn’t dare to say a word. Having lost the support of the old man, Liu Baoguo, she couldn’t afford to lose their protection.

“Get her out.”

“Lock up those thugs, tell the police what they did, and let the police handle it.”

“Alright, everyone go to bed.” After Liu Baoguo finished speaking, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

The night passed without incident. The next morning, Liu Baoguo got up early, and everyone else got up one after another.

The old man got up very early and was practicing boxing in the yard.

Today was for visiting relatives for the New Year. Liu Haoyue wasn’t there, so Liu Baoguo planned to take Mi Xia to visit and introduce her.

After breakfast, a group of people went to visit relatives. Mi Xia also met many people.

After the New Year, it was time to start preparing for the supermarket. Zhang Xiaoyu was busy with Tianlefang, so he probably wouldn’t have time to manage the supermarket.

I need to get my older and younger brothers to come over. After they come, they’ll still have to continue attending night school.

The content is as follows:

Big brother, sister-in-law, I’m planning to open a supermarket here, but I don’t have enough people, so I want you to come and help me. We’ll keep the house in the county town.

In the future, we’ll have a place to stay when we want to go home. After you come, I’ll arrange for the children’s schooling.

Also, please bring Erge and his wife. Don’t bring too much stuff, try to travel light. The most important thing on the train is to take care of the children.

So, bring as little luggage as possible!! I’ll prepare everything for you, so just come over without worry.

Remember to send a telegram before you take the train, and I’ll pick you up.

In the last line, Mi Xia wrote the address in Kyoto, making it easy for Mi Qiu to send a telegram.

Inside Tianlefang.

“If you have time, help me find a house near the small western-style building, the closer the better. Let me know when you find one.” Mi Xia said to Zhang Xiaoyu.

“Okay, leave it to me. I’ll let you know as soon as I have news.”

After this matter was settled, Mi Xia started looking for a suitable place to open a supermarket. Before her winter vacation ended, she found a place even better than she had expected.

It was a building near Dongdan Shopping Mall, with a large flow of people nearby. It was formerly a warehouse of a state-owned factory, but because it was built early, after repeated renovations, it had become a street-facing storefront.

Due to poor management, the factory was facing bankruptcy, and even wages couldn’t be paid, so they had to sell some assets to pay wages.

Mi Xia successfully met the factory manager, a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses, surnamed Liu, who looked like a standard scholar, not like a factory director or businessman.

“Manager Liu, hello, my name is Mi Xia.” Mi Xia extended her hand generously.

Manager Liu was also observing Mi Xia. He heard that someone wanted to buy the factory’s old warehouse, but he didn’t expect it to be such a young girl. She looked to be only twenty years old.

When Mi Xia extended her hand, this old-fashioned and refined man suddenly became flustered. Mi Xia suddenly remembered that handshakes were currently only popular among the same sex, which is why the other party was blushing.

Fortunately, the purchase process was smooth. Manager Liu’s price was very reasonable, but he didn’t give an inch, perhaps because he had poured a lot of effort into this factory.

Finally, Mi Xia bought the old warehouse, with an area of over 2,000 square meters, at a sky-high price of [price omitted].

After buying it, it was hers. She could design it however she wanted. During the day, she was busy with classes and also had to spend time playing with Wanwan.

She told her bedtime stories. After Wanwan fell asleep, Mi Xia entered the space and referred to the layout of the supermarket in her previous life, and then she drew blueprints.

It took her a whole night to finish it. Luckily she had the spiritual spring water, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to make it.

It was the weekend, so Mi Xia took Wanwan to Tianlefang to find Zhang Xiaoyu.

“Sister Xia, you’re here, Wanwan is here too, come, let uncle hug you.” Zhang Xiaoyu squatted down and opened his arms.

The little girl was also happy to see Zhang Xiaoyu, as Zhang Xiaobao was her good friend, so she slowly ran over and threw herself into Zhang Xiaoyu’s arms.

“Giggle giggle.” The little girl laughed happily. Liu Wanwan had been particularly happy lately. Liu Baoguo and Liu Yu would spend time with her whenever they had free time, and she would laugh happily every time.

“This is the blueprint for the supermarket renovation. Take some time to contact the renovation team for Tianlefang and have them renovate the supermarket.”

Mi Xia’s Tianlefang had always been renovated by them, and the price was not expensive. The renovation also met Mi Xia’s aesthetic standards. The most important thing was that it was easier to communicate with familiar people, and they understood Mi Xia’s ideas.

Zhang Xiaoyu: “Okay, I’ll contact them in the next two days. By the way, I have news about the house. I’ll go check it out first. If it’s suitable, I’ll take you to buy it directly.”

“Okay, I’ll trouble you for this period of time. After this busy period, take a few days off and spend some time with your wife and children at home.” Mi Xia felt a little embarrassed. She was short of staff, so she had to use Zhang Xiaoyu as two people.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take Wanwan back. Wanwan, say goodbye to uncle.”

Zhang Xiaoyu carefully put Liu Wanwan down.

“Goodbye uncle, I’ll come to play with you next time.” Liu Wanwan happily waved to Zhang Xiaoyu.

Mi Xia took the little girl to the courtyard house and asked Liu Zhaodi to watch her for a while. She planned to go back to the space in the small western-style building to make some cakes.
