Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 38 A coincidental “big idea”

People were coming and going at the port. Chang Pingning was patted from behind. When she looked back, she found that the person patting her was Meng Xia.Miss Liu was still standing next to Meng Xia.

Chang Pingning was a little surprised: How could these two people come to a place with such a complex population like the port?
"Miss Liu and Miss Meng came to the port to buy seafood?" Although he was confused, it still did not prevent Chang Pingning from greeting the two people in front of him.

"More than that." Meng Xia smiled mysteriously at her, "Qingwan and I have a big idea."

Meng Xia's expression was smart and exaggerated, as if to attract Chang Pingning to ask her.

"I wonder if it would be convenient for Miss Meng to tell me?" Chang Pingning worked as a cook under Meng Xia for a period of time. He had a little understanding of Meng Xia's character and knew that at this time, he should follow Meng Xia's wishes and ask her.

Sure enough, Meng Xia nodded happily, but then he seemed to suddenly notice Guo Bomo next to Chang Pingning: "Is this your husband-in-law?"

Chang Pingning nodded, remembering that Guo Bomo had just returned from going to sea some time ago and had not met Miss Liu and Meng Xia very much. He took the initiative to introduce: "He is my husband-in-law. He went to sea a few days ago and was not in the village. Maybe Miss Meng and Miss Liu are not very familiar with each other. .”

Then he introduced to Guo Bomo: "Ms. sir, these two are Miss Meng and Miss Liu that I mentioned to you. They made the people in the village earn a lot of money some time ago, and they also helped our family become a big business."

After listening to Chang Pingning's introduction, Guo Bomo gratefully saluted the two people in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Miss Liu and Meng Xia also returned the courtesy to Guo Bomo.

However, Meng Xia's expression seemed a little troubled: "Ms. Chang, does your husband have other things to be busy with at the moment? Why don't the three of us walk around the port for a while?"

He said something to drive people away with a troubled expression.

Guo Bomo didn't react to the title of "Ms. Chang" for the moment. Generally, when outsiders call Ning Ning, they always use "Ms. Guo" or his name.Outsiders also call his mother by these two names. Those in the same village will also call his mother by her name "Xiuying".He almost couldn't remember his maiden name.

Today was the first time he heard outsiders call her by Ning Ning's surname.

Therefore, he did not immediately notice that Meng Xia was driving people away.

Chang Pingning had seen Meng Xia more times recently than Guo Bomo, so she had to react before Guo Bomo. She looked at Guo Bomo.

Guo Bomo blinked: "What do Ning Ning think?" He finally realized that Miss Meng didn't want him to be there, but he still had to ask his wife what she thought first.

Chang Pingning naturally didn't want Guo Bomo to leave, after all, he might go to sea again soon.Moreover, he usually followed his father-in-law to the port to sell sea fish during the day, so the newlyweds could not see each other much during the day.

It was a rare opportunity for the two of them to go shopping together today, and she had previously foiled Guo Bomo's plan to go to sea. Now Guo Bomo's low-key attitude towards her was very useful to her. Of course, she hoped that the longer the time, the better.

But on the other hand, Chang Pingning was very interested in the "big idea" that Meng Xia had previously proposed. She had a hunch that it might be able to tie in with her previous plan to acquire sea urchins.But if Guo Bomo was present, I'm afraid Meng Xia wouldn't say it easily.

Chang Pingning hesitated, and somehow the hesitation turned into dissatisfaction with Meng Xia.

She remembered her previous life for no reason.When Meng Xia first arrived at the Dong Mansion, he pretended to be disgusted with Dong Xiuyuan and wanted to drive him as far away as possible.But what about in the end?Don't you still want to compete with yourself for the position of "Mrs. Dong"?

Thinking of this, Chang Pingning felt a little uncomfortable, feeling that Meng Xia was acting on his behalf.Even if it was inconvenient for the three women to talk because of Guo Bomo's presence, she, as "Ms. Guo", took the initiative to ask Guo Bomo to leave, and it should not be Meng Xia's request.

"Ningning?" Guo Bomo noticed that Chang Pingning had been quiet for a long time.

"It's nothing. Why don't you go back first?" Chang Pingning said, "Dad also needs your help. It's not appropriate to leave my second brother there alone."

Seeing this, Guo Bomo nodded and left.

Chang Pingning saw Guo Bomo leaving and faced Meng Xia with a cold tone: "Okay, Miss Meng, if you have any inconvenience for others to hear, just say what you want to say. But if I think there are other people at the port, I will There is no way to call those people away."

It can be considered as a thorn in the side of the words.

Ever since she helped connect Meng Xia and Cyclamen, Chang Pingning worked as a cook beside Meng Xia for a while, and her attitude towards Meng Xia has improved a lot.She wanted to keep the memories of her last life in her last life, but today Meng Xia drove Guo Bomo away in front of her, which made Chang Pingning have some unspeakable opinions about Meng Xia.

"Ha, Madam Chang said something serious." Meng Xia felt Chang Pingning's dissatisfaction, but for a moment she didn't know where she had offended her. She looked at Chang Pingning and glanced in the direction where Guo Bomo left, and recalled it with some humor in her heart. The dark-skinned and thick-set seaside man glanced disdainfully at a place where Chang Pingning couldn't see.

"But Mrs. Chang is right to remind you." Meng Xia put on a serious expression, "I'm going to talk about some more private things later, let's talk in a quieter place."

Facing such a calm and collected Meng Xia, Chang Pingning thought of Meng Xia's previous kindness to her. Chang Pingning felt that she was being petty just now.He quickly cheered and then looked at Meng Xia doubtfully: "Is it a very personal matter? Will it be inconvenient for me to hear it?"

Liu Qingwan didn't expect Chang Pingning to ask this, so she turned to look at her: "After you return to the village, don't tell everything. You need to know what you can and cannot say."

"Same for Meng Xia. We need to know what can and cannot be said soon." Liu Qingwan looked at Meng Xia.

For the first time, Chang Pingning felt a hint of pride that once belonged to a superior person from Miss Liu's cold attitude.It was as if Miss Liu's previous status could easily crush a country woman like her to death, just like she crushed ants on the ground.Chang Pingning was a little nervous.

"Qingwan, don't scare Miss Chang." However, Meng Xia was not frightened by Liu Qingwan's demeanor. She smiled lightly, "We just have a small business and want to find someone to discuss it. Miss Chang, let's find a place with fewer people." Go talk.”

The three people came to the corner of the port, with the sea in front of them and the shoals behind them.

"Qingwan and I need money." Meng Xia said easily, "We walked around the port today and looked around. I think maybe we can sell things to the port..."

Hearing Meng Xia's suggestion, Chang Pingning's heart beat rapidly. She had had the same idea not long ago.She suppressed her excitement: "Is this the 'big idea' that Miss Meng mentioned before?"

Meng Xia smiled: "Yes, it's rare that you still remember what I said. We think that among the people coming and going at the port, there are those who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy things and sell them elsewhere, and there are also people who sell seafood in nearby villages..."

Chang Pingning listened to Meng Xia's words and felt that the two of them had the same idea. The difference was that she had already thought of the specific thing she wanted to sell.
