Chapter 434: Li Xia’s Plan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Then let Li Xia and her son stay at my parents’ house! With Granny Qiu around, their safety can be guaranteed! As for the workshop, as long as Li Xia tells outsiders that it’s her own business, it’s fine! We’re just like-minded friends!”
Actually, it was the safest for Li Xia and her son to live in the Luo family’s home, but after Li Xiaoran left, only Luo Zi Yan would be left in the Luo family’s home.
One was a divorced woman, and the other was a young man. If the two of them lived under the same roof, gossip would spread.
Living in Li Xiaoran’s maiden family’s house was different. Granny Qiu would be at home, so Li Xia and her son would not attract gossip if they moved in.
“I think it’s best for you to discuss this with Li Xia and her son! From Li Xia’s previous experience, I can tell that she is assertive. It’s their own life, so I think it’s better to ask for their opinion first!” Luo Cheng felt that this plan was inappropriate, so he reminded her.
Li Xiaoran came to a realization.
That’s right. Li Xia should make the decision herself.
She could give suggestions, but she should not make decisions for Li Xia.
After figuring this out, Li Xiaoran picked up the things she used to make soap with and went to look for Li Xia.
Li Xiaoran did not beat around the bush and directly explained her need for Li Xia to build a soap workshop.
Li Xia asked many questions. She asked about what soap was first, then asked about the construction requirements of the workshop. In the end, she agreed.
“Xiaoran, although I’ve never done this before, I can guarantee that I’ll do my best to build the workshop!” Li Xia said excitedly.
Previously, Li Xia was already disheartened.
After all the consecutive blows, she really felt mentally and physically exhausted.
But after meeting Li Xiaoran, everything changed.
She seemed to have been reborn and regained motivation again.
Li Xia believed that with such good materials, money, and the operating model provided by Li Xiaoran, if she did not build the workshop and operate it, she would be letting Li Xiaoran down!
“Sister Li Xia, I naturally believe you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked you to do it! However, there’s something else that you have to decide for yourself.
When Ruyue gets better, I’ll go on a long trip with my husband. Therefore, if you encounter any difficulties in building the workshop, just look for Zi Yan. He will help you resolve the problem. Now, I want to ask you, what are your plans for where you and Huai’er will live in the future?” Li Xiaoran asked.
“What I mean is that I can give you a few suggestions, but it depends on which one you’re willing to choose!” Li Xiaoran told her about the arrangements she had thought of previously.
“Because I’m leaving, and Ruyue won’t leave after she recovers, only Ziyang, Changsheng, Guan Kang, and you two will be left at home. I’m worried that the people outside will gossip about it, so I want you and Huai’er to move in with my parents. With Granny Qiu around, your safety will be guaranteed!”
Before Li Xiaoran could say the second solution, Li Xia said, “Xiaoran, I still have some savings, so I want to buy a piece of land in the village and build my own house. After all, Huai’er still has to get a wife after he grows up, so why don’t we build a bigger house now? I heard that you built a shop on the official road. Can I buy a piece of land near the official road to build a house?! Transportation is convenient there, and there are many people buying and selling things. It’ll be very convenient for us to live there!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Li Xia’s words, she understood that she already had her own idea.
“There are many empty spaces on the official road, but those land all have landowners. If you want to buy them, you have to be mentally prepared, since they’re quite expensive!”
Li Xia nodded and said, “I understand. Please help me ask around! It doesn’t have to be big, as long as it’s big enough to build a house and a vegetable garden!”
Seeing that Li Xia had already made up her mind, Li Xiaoran did not say anything else.
“Alright, since you’ve thought it through, I’ll help you ask around! If your money isn’t enough, you can tell me. I can lend you some first!” Li Xia smiled when she heard Li Xiaoran’s words. “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t stand on ceremony with you!” When Li Xiaoran heard Li Xia’s words, she also laughed.
“Since you want to build a house, tell me your requirements. Coincidentally, my husband’s farmstead is still being built and the builders are all here. I’ll tell them in advance and ask them to spare some manpower to build a house for you first!”
Li Xia accepted Li Xiaoran’s kindness and said her requirements.
Li Xiaoran noted down her requirements as she listened.
When Old Master Guo found out that Li Xiaoran was helping her friend buy land to build a house, he asked how big it was going to be.
When he heard that they were going to buy land near the official road to build a house, Old Master Guo looked troubled.
“Xiaoran, as you can see, more and more people are doing business at the pipeline now. It’s already like a small market. Now, the land near the official road has become very pricey. The place you want to buy isn’t like before! The land price is much more expensive now!” Old Master Guo told her the truth.
“Village Chief, don’t worry. I’ve told Sister Li Xia everything you said. It’s fine as long as the price is fair and not sky-high! Why don’t you help us ask around and see which villager is willing to sell it?!” Li Xiaoran said.
With Li Xiaoran’s assurance, Old Master Guo knew what to do.
“Alright, I’ll ask around. I’ll give you an answer tomorrow morning!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and went to look for Chen Xiang to hand over the construction of Li Xia’s house to him.
Chen Xiang naturally agreed. As long as they bought the land, they could start construction immediately.
Speaking of which, Chen Xiang had taken on a lot of work from Luo Cheng, so everyone worked together harmoniously.
Therefore, when Li Xiaoran came looking for him again, Chen Xiang agreed readily.
After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment, she said, “Mr. Chen Xiang, it’s not easy for a woman like Li Xia to support herself, so don’t ask for too much money!”
“Don’t worry, you guys are old customers after all, so the price won’t be too high!” Chen Xiang nodded with a smile.
Li Xiaoran believed in Chen Xiang.
Things went smoothly for Old Master Guo as well.
After he asked three families that day, one family was willing to sell land.
Li Xia was lucky. This family’s daughter-in-law was about to give birth, but the family was struggling to make ends meet.
If they sold the land now, they could afford nourishment for their daughter-in-law!
