At that time, three years had passed, and the housing prices in C city had increased dozens of times.
The Mei family woke up every day. When they looked at the housing prices, they felt that money had fallen from the sky.
They wanted to make a move, but Xia Ling wouldn't let them.
Later, the reform of C city began, and the demolition began.
With Tang Nan around, the demolition team didn't dare to hide the Mei family. With this demolition, six or seven properties and storefronts of the Mei family were demolished, and a few hundred million were taken out.
The Mei Family couldn't spend it all in a few lifetimes.
In the south, it was said to be a company, but Tang Nan's property was only a factory that he had co-founded with others.
There were three or four households living in the factory, and they all held shares.
Xia Ling did not like to get up early. Every morning, Tang Nan went out to work on company matters, and when he came back, he had to bring food for Xia Ling.
No matter what the weather was, the food was always warm, and the dishes were not the same.
Other women saw that Tang Nan was so nice, and they were envious of Xia Ling.
They had heard early on that Tang Nan's wife was a university student and beautiful, so Tang Nan doted on her especially.
Now that Tang Nan had brought her over, they finally knew what it meant to be a man doting on a woman
How good a woman was she to deserve such treatment from a man? The women were extremely curious, and they could not help but urge the man to find Tang Nan to have a drink and arrange a banquet to welcome Xia Ling.
Tang Nan agreed and came back to discuss with Xia Ling.
Looking at him, Xia Ling agreed without hesitation.
"Okay. Then call them over to our house and have a simple meal. I'll cook a few dishes."
"You know how to cook? Why don't I do it?" Tang Nan was surprised.
The girl's hand stretched out like a green onion. It was fair and delicate, and she had always used a pen. He had never seen her cook at home.
"Don't worry. " Xia Ling smiled. "Even though I don't cook much, I'm good at cooking."
"I'll go buy some food on Friday. Ask them to come on Friday night."
She had to live here after all. She was here and had been eating in the canteen. She was tired of eating, not to mention Tang Nan.
"Okay." Tang Nan rubbed her head and pulled Xia Ling into his arms.
Xia Ling's ears were a little red.
She pushed him into the bathroom that was separated from the house.
"You smell like sweat. Go take a shower!"

On Thursday, Xia Ling drove her Buick out to buy groceries.
The first thing she did when she arrived was to get her driver's license. She was not familiar with the place to begin with. If she did not have a transportation tool when she went out, Xia Ling would have to point her finger at Tang Nan. She would not have any autonomy and independence.
She also wanted to open a branch here for Manyishi. How could she not go out?
Nowadays, the food was cheap. Three to four yuan worth of food was enough for them to eat for a day.
Housewives at the market would bargain for a few cents.
Xia Ling bought a chicken and asked the boss to kill it for her. She gave the miscellaneous chicken bits to the boss.
She bought potatoes, chestnuts, and some tomatoes.

Xia Ling bought some vegetables. When she was cooking, the smell wafted out. The other wives were reasonable and took the initiative to come over to help. They let their children play in the yard and even helped Xia Ling pack her things.
The southern women were all very strong-willed and had a lot of contact, especially when they had money on hand.
Each of them looked sharp and stylish. The spirit and energy in their words were different from those in the mainland.
Xia Ling felt that there was a huge business opportunity for them.
Here, her clothing brand could go high-end and be customized. If it developed well, the women here would really be proud of having her store's custom-made clothes. When that time came, Manyishi would take root here and Xia Ling's profit would definitely not be small.
