The Fat Wife of the 1980s Awakens

Xie Yi's eyes seemed to say "Don't let your imagination run wild". Jiang Chengping understood and immediately changed his tone: "Okay, okay, your wife understands you best, how could she dislike you?"

Although he said this, Jiang Chengping's gaze lingered on Xu Xiufang for a moment, full of approval.

Then, he turned to Xie Yi and asked the question that he had heard from Lu Shunping but had always been skeptical about: "I heard from Lu Shunping that you wanted to form a team?"

"The idea is indeed there."

Xie Yi told him frankly.

"What's the purpose of forming a team?"

Jiang Chengping's curiosity was completely aroused.

Xie Yi smiled faintly, with a sharp look in his eyes, as if he saw through the doubts in Jiang Chengping's heart: "Of course it's used to make money."

Jiang Chengping couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his expression changed slightly: "Do you know how much it costs to buy a truck?"

"About thirty to sixty thousand."

Xie Yi answered easily, as if he was not talking about a huge sum of money.

"You have so much money?"

Jiang Chengping opened his eyes wide, his surprise evident in his words.

"Ah."

Xie Yi nodded calmly, with a deep light in his eyes, "But for now, I plan to buy a used car first."

Jiang Chengping was speechless for a moment. Although a used car is relatively cheap, it is still not a small amount.

He looked back and forth at Xie Yi, feeling mixed emotions.

He still remembers what Xie Yi said on the day he resigned. Five years later, he wants to prove that his choice was right.

And now, seeing Xie Yi's confident look, Jiang Chengping suddenly felt that maybe within five years, Xie Yi would be able to prove everything.

A warm feeling surged into Jiang Chengping's heart, and he couldn't help but sigh that a truly capable person, no matter what kind of adversity he encounters, will always find a way to go against the current and make a name for himself.

It seems that I was indeed worrying too much before.

"Brother Jiang!"

Xie Yi suddenly called out, as if he had something more important to discuss with Jiang Chengping...

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Chengping blurted out almost mechanically, habitually wanting to understand the situation, even in this leisure time.

"After the policy of allocating land to households was implemented this year, I'm afraid the work of the transport team won't be as busy as before, right?"

There was a hint of tentativeness in Xie Yi's tone, as if he already knew what was going on.

"Yeah," Jiang Chengping said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, and sighed softly.

Their transport team is located in this inconspicuous small county town, and their busiest business on weekdays is the transportation of grain.

As the fields were divided among each household, self-production and self-sales became the norm. The demand for professional transportation naturally shrank significantly, and their business also decreased accordingly, and their days became less hectic.

"In this case, wouldn't a few trucks in the team be idle?"

Xie Yi followed up with a question, a thoughtful gleam in his brows.

Jiang Chengping was confused. Why would Xie Yi care about these things?

He is clearly no longer part of the transport team!

Just as Jiang Chengping was about to ask, his eyes met with Xie Yi's. He saw a thoughtful look in the other's eyes. His black eyes were calm and deep, as if hiding some unknown plan.

Jiang Chengping had a premonition in his heart, but he didn't dare to believe it rashly, so he asked hesitantly: "You want to..."

"Brother Jiang," Xie Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, with a meaningful smile on his face, "Since the car is empty anyway, why don't you sell it to me?"

Jiang Chengping was shocked. He didn't expect Xie Yi to really have such an idea. He was speechless for a moment.

However, thinking back to when Xie Yi mentioned earlier that he wanted to form his own fleet, it wasn't too surprising that he was now proposing to purchase the transport team's idle vehicles.

However, Jiang Chengping still had to explain: "I appreciate your kindness, but to tell you the truth, although I am the captain of the transport team, those vehicles are not my personal property, they are public property. Business is sluggish and the vehicles are idle. The superiors will definitely consider taking them back and redeploying them. I can't make the decision on this matter..."

Xie Yi seemed to understand after hearing this: "Can you help me find out the situation first?"

He was of course aware that the vehicle did not belong to Jiang Chengping personally, so he did not expect to reach a deal immediately.

Jiang Chengping stared at Xie Yi, took a breath, and asked curiously, "You are so confident that you think your superiors will be willing to sell the car to you?"

"I can't say I'm 100% sure," Xie Yi said frankly, "but it's not like there's no chance at all."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengping looked at Xie Yi's calm appearance with complicated eyes, and reminded him with some concern: "Although the country recognizes the existence and development space of the individual economy, the specific support policies have not yet been introduced. It is indeed risky for you to do this now. Who will easily agree to transfer public assets to you?"

"Although the policy is not clear, relevant reports have been leaked," Xie Yi said calmly, "and I don't just rely on this."

"So what other cards do you have?"

Jiang Chengping's curiosity was completely aroused, and he really wanted to know what other tricks Xie Yi had up his sleeve.

"Now that many educated youth have begun to return to cities, the superiors have issued reception targets for each unit, resulting in many units being overstaffed and facing huge financial pressures."

Xie Yi analyzed clearly, "My purchase of the truck is also, to some extent, helping my superiors to ease their financial constraints."

The fleet's trucks cost about 30,000 yuan to purchase. Even if they are resold second-hand, the estimated price will fluctuate between 10,000 and 25,000 yuan depending on the condition and performance of the vehicle.

Such an amount is enough to support the livelihood of many families in today's era when the average monthly salary is only 30 yuan.

Hearing this, Jiang Chengping could only smile bitterly: "...You really are impressive!"

Finally, Jiang Chengping gave in: "Okay, I'll ask around for you later."

Xie Yi smiled when he heard this: "Thank you, Brother Jiang!"

"You guy!"

Jiang Chengping patted Xie Yi's shoulder gently, his eyes full of admiration, "You are amazing!"

On the side, Xu Xiufang and Yu Ping also roughly understood the content of the conversation.

Yu Ping was quite surprised. She glanced at Xu Xiufang secretly and asked in a low voice, "Are you really planning to buy a car?"

"why not?"

Xu Xiufang's answer was ambiguous, but her eyes revealed her full trust in Xie Yi.

Yu Ping wanted to say that this matter was not simple, but when she saw Xu Xiufang was so determined, she swallowed the words back.

The first day of the New Year passed peacefully, and the next day was the second day of the New Year.

Xie Chunli and Peng Zhihai took their daughter back to her parents' home, and their first stop was their old home.

As she stepped into the house, she was greeted by an unusual silence. Obviously, all the family members were at home. Xie Chunli called out twice, but no one answered. This was very different from usual.

This time, Xie Chunli did not complain loudly as she did in the past because of the lack of response. Instead, she suppressed her unhappiness and walked straight to her parents' bedroom.

"I'm home?"

Hearing the voice, Xie's mother came out and greeted her warmly, "Come in!"

"Mom, what is going on?"

Xie Chunli asked dissatisfiedly, "My eldest brother and third brother were obviously at home, but they heard me calling and ignored me?"
