Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space

Chapter 123 Uncle 2

After Li Zhengpin and the others left, Li Mingxia went to the backyard to take a look again, but no matter how he estimated, he felt that the space was not enough. After measuring it repeatedly, Li Mingxia set his sights on the large open space next to his own house.

"Sister Xia, what are you doing here? I've seen you walking back and forth several times." Zhang poked her head out of the door and couldn't help asking.

Li Mingxia happened to be going to find Zhang, so she pointed to the spot she had chosen and asked her, "Mom, is this place taken?"

Zhang shook her head and said, "No, if it had an owner, it would have been enclosed long ago. What's the matter?"

Zhang thought that Li Mingxia didn't like having too many people around him, so she said, "For so many years, there have been only a few families here, and they all disliked living here because it was too far from the village. I guess no one wants to buy a house here anymore."

When Li Mingxia heard this, she said, "Mom, let's buy this piece!"

Li Mingxia pointed to the place he liked with his hand. Zhang was shocked when she saw such a large area. Not to mention the price, what was he going to do with it?

"Mom, our family is now separated and living separately. In the future, my brother and Zhengde will both get married, and the population in our family will only increase. The house we live in now is too small, so we must build a new one." Li Mingxia said to Zhang.

Upon hearing this, Zhang no longer objected. Raising her son and finding a wife for him were the most important things in the hearts of the common people. Zhang looked at the piece of land and estimated in her mind how much money it would cost.

"But winter is almost here. It's not the right time to build a house. We have to wait until spring to start construction, right?"

What Zhang said was the truth. Li Mingxia was not in a hurry to build a new house right now. She just had a plan to make money in her mind. She needed to build a few small side buildings first. This would not take much time and could be completed in ten days or so.

"There's no rush to build a house, but we need to build a few small ones first. I want to start a food business. It's hard to go to town in winter, so we can set up a small workshop at home!"

Zhang was confused and obviously had no idea what Li Mingxia was trying to do.

"A small workshop? What do you want to do?"

"Mom will know when it's built. When the small workshop starts operating, she will need her help." Li Mingxia said.

Zhang didn't quite understand what Li Mingxia wanted to do, but she just did whatever her daughter said.

Seeing that Zhang agreed without asking any more questions, Li Mingxia smiled and said, "Mom, aren't you afraid that I will lose money by working in vain?"

Zhang gave Li Mingxia a reproachful look and said, "You kid, you're teasing your mother. Aren't you the one who has the final say in all matters of our family, big or small? Don't tell me that I know you must be aware that you can't pay the money. Even if you really did pay, it was all earned by you. How can I scold you?"

Li Mingxia smiled and hugged Zhang's arm and acted coquettishly, "Mom, you are so nice."

Li Zhengpin and his two companions did not return until noon. Upon asking, they found out that they had been left outside for dinner.

"Guess who's selling the glazed windows? It's my second uncle!" Li Sanlang looked very happy and kept mentioning this uncle, about whom even Zhang had no impression.

"Second uncle?" Li Mingxia looked at Zhang in confusion.

"Who? The child's father? You've been talking for a long time but still can't make it clear who this second uncle is. Why haven't I heard of him before?" Zhang interrupted Li Sanlang and asked.

Li Sanlang chuckled, "You hadn't entered the family at that time. The second uncle is our real second uncle. Later, he went to another place because of some things. We haven't heard from him for so many years. Unexpectedly, he came back and set up a glass workshop. It's quite well-established. It looks like he can make a lot of money!"

Li Mingxia blinked. Second uncle? If he was the second uncle, why didn't he come to the old house in all these years? With Old Madam Zheng's appearance, how could she not have a brother who was so rich?

"Then this second uncle you mentioned doesn't plan to visit the old house?" Li Mingxia asked the key question.

When Li Sanlang was mentioned, he obviously didn't look very happy, "I don't know, that's the business of the older generation, we can't get involved." Li Mingxia got a clue from this sentence, it's probably not that Old Lady Zheng doesn't want to move around, but that people don't want to have anything to do with her!

"My second uncle asked where we live, and said he would come to see us the day after tomorrow when he delivers the glass window to us!" Li Sanlang and Zhang discussed happily, "I thought we haven't seen each other for so many years, and when my second uncle comes, we should treat him well and prepare a meal. Xia Jie'er, is what Dad said okay?"

When Li Mingxia heard Li Sanlang talk about his second great uncle, he had a good impression of him. At this time, Li Zhengpin also mentioned that the price of their family's glazed windows was discounted by 20%, which was not a small amount. Li Mingxia had no objection to the family members wanting to visit such a humane relative.

"Okay, that's perfect. I'm going to town tomorrow. I'll buy whatever vegetables you need and cook. Dad and big brother will have a drink with my second uncle."

"Good!" Li Sanlang nodded happily. "That's great. Second uncle really cares about us. He even asked me about our parents. When I told him that we had separated, Second uncle seemed a little upset."

Li Mingxia was somewhat surprised when she heard this. She was still thinking about how this second uncle who had not been in contact with them for so many years suddenly said he wanted to come to her house to visit? It turned out that he had heard the news from Li Sanlang that they had separated and were no longer in the old house. It was a pity that Li Sanlang was an honest man and could not understand what this second uncle meant.

The next day, when Li Mingxia went to the town to buy things, he went to the yamen first. First, he withdrew the deposit with the original receipt. Xiao Wu and Xiao Wen were there, so Li Mingxia asked if He Changan was there.

"Miss Li, are you looking for our boss? What a coincidence, our boss just came back and will probably be here soon." Xiao Wen glanced at Xiao Wu who was staring at Li Mingxia stupidly, and sighed silently.

After Li Mingxia thanked him, he sat beside and waited. Xiao Wu brought Li Mingxia a cup of tea and tried to strike up a conversation several times, but he couldn't find a good topic to continue the conversation, so he could only keep chatting awkwardly.

Just when Li Mingxia felt a little uncomfortable, He Changan pushed the door open and came in. "Are you here to collect the deposit? I heard Xiaowen send someone to tell me you were here, so I hurried over."
