Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

Chen Yongqiang naturally understood what she meant, but he focused on driving the tractor and didn't respond.

He thought to himself that he would deal with her properly later that night.

Chen Yongqiang, who lives in the county town, has been coming here often lately, so he didn't find it strange.

Looking at the bustling shops on both sides of the street, Liang Meie suddenly asked, "Yongqiang, do you think... we could make money by opening a shop selling local mountain products in the county town?"

Chen Yongqiang was a little surprised; he hadn't expected Liang Meie to have such a quick mind.

"You can make money, but what will you do with two children?" Chen Yongqiang pointed out the key issue.

"Sigh, with these two burdens, we can't go anywhere." Liang Meie sighed.

She knew that her in-laws were easy to talk to in other ways, but if they wanted to bring their grandchildren to live in the county town, who knew what kind of trouble they would cause.

Taking Liang Meie to tour the county town is completely different from taking Qin Liping to tour the county town.

Qin Liping still has the mindset of a young girl, her mind is full of thoughts about which clothes look good and which snacks taste delicious.

Liang Meie, on the other hand, is the type who focuses on making a living, always looking for things that can be resold to make a profit.

"Meie, since you can't come out, think of another way. Open a small shop in the village and sell things like oil, salt, soy sauce, and needles and thread. You can make money that way," Chen Yongqiang suggested.

"That's right! How come I didn't think of that!" Liang Meie's eyes lit up.

Shimen Village only recently ended the system of communal dining, and the current policy allows for individual business operations.

Opening a small shop doesn't require any complicated procedures; you just need to bring the goods back and you can start business.

"You're so smart." Liang Meie naturally took Chen Yongqiang's arm and walked close to him.

If you didn't know better, you'd think they were a young couple.

Once she had an idea, Liang Meie, being the kind of person who acts on her impulses, immediately pulled Chen Yongqiang along to start purchasing the goods that the convenience store could sell.

Chen Yongqiang gave her a lot of advice: "Cigarettes and alcohol are profitable items, so you should stock up on them."

"Most people in the village can't afford cigarettes, so buy more tobacco. The same goes for liquor; get some bulk bottles of baijiu, it's cheaper."

Liang Meie had also run a small business before, so she grasped the concepts quickly.

She was already imagining the booming business after opening: "We have to seize the opportunity before anyone else in Shimen Village opens a convenience store!"

Chen Yongqiang originally intended to leave this stable business to Gao Yuanyuan.

She works as a volunteer teacher in the village, earning a pitifully low salary with little income. If it weren't for the villagers occasionally bringing her some food and vegetables, she would have had a hard time getting by.

However, Gao Yuanyuan is a bit aloof and not easy to approach. Plus, she's currently sick, so I doubt she has the energy to run the convenience store.

It's a win-win situation for Liang Meie, because if she doesn't open soon, others will see the business opportunity and rush to open their own shops.

Seeing the dazzling array of goods, Liang Meie wanted to take this and that.

Chen Yongqiang advised her: "You should choose products that villagers can't live without in their daily lives. Some things look good, but the villagers don't need them, so if you bring them in, you'll just be stuck with them."

"First, get the shop up and running and establish a foothold. If any villagers need anything special, write it down in your notebook and bring it to them next time."

"Yongqiang, I've only just realized that you're a true business genius," Liang Meie praised sincerely.

These details are all experiences that Chen Yongqiang has accumulated from living an extra lifetime, which naturally allows him to see further than ordinary people.

Although it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, under Chen Yongqiang's guidance, Liang Meie bought mostly commonly used goods. The miscellaneous items filled about half the truck bed.

What impressed Chen Yongqiang even more was that Liang Meie paid for all these goods out of her own pocket.

She had saved up quite a bit of money from helping Chen Yongqiang sell wild boar meat before, and she brought it all out this time.

When they went to the noodle shop for lunch, Liang Meie tried to pay the bill, but Chen Yongqiang stopped her.

"I can't let you pay when we're out to eat. You have two kids to take care of, it's not easy for you."

Liang Meie didn't insist any further, thinking that she would repay Chen Yongqiang properly that night.

When purchasing small commodities, Chen Yongqiang also kept an eye out for any professional gold-digging tools.

Unfortunately, this thing is too obscure; I went to several hardware stores but couldn't find it for sale.

In the end, he could only buy a few enamel basins to make do with for now.

"Why did you buy so many big washbasins?" Liang Meie asked, somewhat puzzled.

"There are many people on the construction site, and they all need to use it to wash their faces and feet," Chen Yongqiang replied vaguely.

Today, I gave Liang Meie a stable little business. She'll be busy managing the shop from now on, so she shouldn't bother him so much and interfere with his gold rush.

"We've bought almost everything, shouldn't we head back?" Liang Meie glanced at the sky; it was already getting late.

Chen Yongqiang didn't linger any longer and started the tractor to drive back.

When we arrived in town, we bought some more goods, some of which had local characteristics.

In addition, villagers used to buy things in town, which were things they often needed.

"When I get back, I'll have my father-in-law build a thatched hut in the yard to open a small shop," Liang Meie said, already starting to plan.

"You can make those decisions yourself." Chen Yongqiang is only responsible for grasping the general direction; how to implement it is up to Liang Meie herself.

As they approached Shimen Village, Liang Meie instructed, "I'll cook two dishes for dinner. Come to my house, and we'll have a couple of drinks."

This was already a very obvious hint. Chen Yongqiang naturally agreed: "Okay."

As soon as the tractor entered the village, someone from the brick factory saw it and shouted to Old Li with a smile, "Old Li, your daughter-in-law is back!"

"What's Chen Yongqiang hauling in his truck bed? It looks like a lot!"

Old Li glanced at it too, but didn't say anything, just kept his head down and continued mixing the bricks and mortar.

Chen Yongqiang was helping to unload the goods when Liang Meie's mother-in-law heard the noise and came out of the house.

Looking at the truck bed full of stuff, she asked in surprise, "Meie, what are you going to do with all this stuff?"

As Liang Meie unloaded things from the car, she replied, "These are for selling. Our family is going to open the first convenience store in Shimen Village!"

The old lady, with her somewhat old-fashioned thinking, didn't immediately grasp the idea: "Open...what kind of shop? Sell things? Our family has never done this before, is it even possible?"

Liang Meie put down what she was holding and patiently explained, "Mom, it's just that we'll set up a small room at home and put out daily necessities like oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tobacco, alcohol, and sewing supplies. If the villagers need anything, they can come to our house to buy it without having to go to town anymore. It's convenient, and our family can also earn some pocket money."

Chen Yongqiang helped unload all the goods, said goodbye to Liang Meie, and then drove the tractor back home.

"Of these women, Liang Meie is the most business-savvy," Chen Yongqiang thought to himself.

Although Wang Guixiang had also tried selling vegetables in town, she was still a step behind Liang Meie in terms of her daring and enterprising spirit.
