After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 2374: Idea for a New Factory

Chapter 2374: Idea for a New Factory

"As if we have any interest!" Xu Jin said in a fit of pique.

Qiao Mei ignored them. It was the weekend now and they could only set up the household register on Monday. Qiao Mei looked at Cai Ming and asked, "Where do the two of you want to stay, compound complex or apartment?"

"Apartment, of course!" Cai Ming said excitedly.

Cai Ming did not know what a compound complex was, but between the two, the apartment sounded like a better choice. She intended to make Qiao Mei pay the rent for them.

She patted her chest instinctively. That was where she kept the 300 dollars which Xu Ba had given her before he left. She was setting it aside for emergencies and would not use the money frivolously.

Qiao Mei gave Xia Zhe a look and he immediately understood what she meant. The two of them sent the mother-and-daughter duo to Old Madam Xu's neighborhood. Qiao Mei deliberately wanted to rent an apartment for them in this area and she even found one in the same block as Old Madam Xu. She would have preferred to get an apartment on the same side and the same floor, but there was none available. Otherwise, Qiao Mei would definitely let the mother-and-daughter duo occupy the unit next to or opposite Old Madam Xu.

Xu Tian and Xu Ba had bought Old Madam Xu's current house for her at a much later date, so Cai Ming did not know this place at all.

"This is a really nice place but we don't have any money," Cai Ming said.

"There's no hurry. I'll pay one month's rent for you first," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

The rent for the apartment was eight dollars a month. It was indeed very expensive for the ordinary folks, but this was nothing to Qiao Mei. To her, it was worth eight dollars if she could watch some drama!

Qiao Mei looked forward to the day when Old Madam Xu and Cai Ming met each other again. Just thinking about it made her feel very excited!

"Alright, here's the key. You can go in by yourselves," Qiao Mei said as she stuffed the key into Cai Ming's hand.

"Then when will the issue of the household register be done? How do I find you?" Cai Ming asked.

"You don't have to be present. I'll take care of it. Once it's done, I'll arrange for someone to send the doc.u.ments to you." With that, Qiao Mei left with Xia Zhe.

On the way home, Qiao Mei said, "Let's arrange for their household register to be transferred to East City."

East City was right next to the capital. It was a more backward environment and most of the area was mountainous, so it was not really a nice place to live in. Xia Zhe smiled. This was more like the Qiao Mei he knew. He was quite sure that Qiao Mei would not make it easy for Cai Ming and her daughter to have a household register in the capital.

"Alright, but you were really too impulsive just now. You must let me know if you want to change our secret code. I was really scared just now," Xia Zhe said as he looked at Qiao Mei begrudgingly.

Qiao Mei touched her stomach and said, "I'm not joking. I'm really pregnant."

Xia Zhe immediately pulled over and looked at Qiao Mei, feeling pleasantly surprised. "When did you find out? Is this for real?"

Qiao Mei only knew about the existence of this baby because she had activated her ability by chance one day. Otherwise, she would only know at around the two-month mark like most women. It was an accidental discovery.

"I think I just became pregnant and I haven't gone to the hospital yet. It's not definitive yet. I originally wanted to wait for three months before telling all of you, but the situation was urgent just now, so I had no choice but to say it," Qiao Mei said resignedly.

Xia Zhe reached out and touched Qiao Mei's stomach. It was hard for him to imagine that he was going to have a fourth child. They had only been married for a few years but Qiao Mei had been giving birth at close intervals and her health must have been affected. He wondered if giving birth to this child would make her weaker.

Qiao Mei seemed to sense Xia Zhe's worry. She smiled and comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, we have ginseng juice at home. It'll be fine."

As she thought about it, Qiao Mei sighed. It seemed that she would need to open another factory to specialize in the production and development of condoms. During this era, the government had just started to implement the family planning policy as they wanted the people to raise healthier and better educated children. Each family was only allowed to have one child. Those people who had more children would have to pay a fine!

In this era, condoms were not very effective. The ones available in the market were not well made nor easy to use. That said, Qiao Mei was very happy to have four children of her own.

"Let's go home and tell our parents the news!" Xia Zhe said happily.

"There's no hurry." Qiao Mei put her hand on Xia Zhe's hand and continued, "The pregnancy is not stable yet. Let's wait a little longer. We should get Aunt to take a look first." "Alright, whatever you say. Don't do anything during this period of time. Just stay at home and take care of yourself. Ask Sister Feng to make more nutritious food for you," Xia Zhe said as he drove off.

Along the way, Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe discussed the issue of the child's name. Xia Mao had always been unhappy that he had not been asked to name any of Xia Zhe's children. The couple decided to let Xia Mao come up with the name of this child.
