Chapter 322: Chapter 42 People are Forced Out (Alliance Leader ’Qi Qi Yan Ning’ 3rd Update)_1

Yan Fei’s suggestion for the Little Dark-skinned Girl certainly wasn’t intended to bring hardship to his wife.

Why bother earning money then?

Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyan’s ’we,’ he really was startled.

But Xu Xiaoyan continued in a daze, "Yes, both of us! She’s never sold anything before. I have helped sell stuff at home before, so I can help her out!"

Yan Fei, on the verge of tears, thought, ’My aim was to get rid of the Little Dark-skinned Girl, not my wife!’

"Don’t rush to make a decision! Let me think about it more. I really don’t believe it will work, and if it interferes with school, it won’t be worth it!" While calming Xu Xiaoyan, Yan Fei was quickly scheming in his mind.

Xu Xiaoyan continued explaining their so-called plan, "We can set up a small stall after dinner, right at the school gate. We can come back just before the dormitory is about to close. We can make up for the study sessions we miss in the evening by waking up a bit early. It will not affect our studies."

"So this is the idea you’ve been thinking about for nearly twenty days?" Yan Fei was anxious hearing how thoughtless her idea was. "Why are you meddling in her affair? You’re not allowed to go. You’re here to study, not to set up a stall to sell peanuts!"

Worried that he may have been too harsh, Yan Fei softened his tone, "We can just help her with ideas, is there any need to get involved ourselves? What do you gain from this? This is not how you help!"

"She said she’ll give me half the earnings if it’s profitable!" Xu Xiaoyan explained to him with a pitiful look.

His head aches more hearing her explanation. He shoved a piece of meat that was picked up with chopsticks into his mouth and started lecturing her, "How much can you two possibly earn by setting up a small stall for a while? Are you lacking that much money?"

"You need to be clear, they’re building a reservoir there, a reservoir! Do you know how much money I spent just building two sheds? More than three thousand yuan. And this was only because Uncle Ming helped us find cheaper asbestos tile and workers. We nearly got the wood and bamboo for free."

As he was speaking, he noticed that the girl was staring at him strangely. Afraid she might get angry, he hurriedly explained, "Ah... I might have rushed a bit with my words. I was just worried about you standing on the roadside in the dust at night, you..."

Halfway through his speech, he realized that something was off with the food he was chewing on. He heard her say, "I know what you’re thinking. I didn’t get angry, don’t worry! Look at you, chewed even your chopsticks in half, quickly go to the trash can to spit it out!"

Feeling the splinters in his mouth and the piece missing from the chopstick in his hand, Yan Fei quickly ran to the trash can to spit them out.

After coming back, he realized he might have been a bit agitated earlier, so he spoke slowly, "You don’t understand. Even constructing a few small houses can cost several thousands of yuan! No one knows how much a reservoir will cost, it’s likely that even one hundred to two hundred thousand yuan won’t be enough. How long will it take for your stall to make that amount? What about the people in their village? Can’t they sell goods as well?"

As he spoke, his mind began to clear and he continued, "How much money can students have? This will just be a novelty, no one will eat it every day. They need to go other places to sell, wherever there are more people, that’s where they should go. Like the entrance of the market when people are shopping or the factory gate when people get off work, also the entrance of the park. In short, they should not stay in one place, they need to move and sell everywhere!"

"They should let the people in their village come out; they can run around selling from day to evening. Carrying their goods on a pole and running around, isn’t that better than you two squatting at the school gate? If one person can earn ten to twenty yuan a day, then ten people can earn one hundred to two hundred yuan. That’s certainly more than what you two can earn with a tiny stall!"

Xu Xiaoyan looked confused and it took her a while to respond, "But the people in the village have never been out before; they don’t know how to sell goods!"

Yan Fei dismissed her objection, "Then they can just stay at home and starve to death. ’A tree dies in one place, but a person lives on by moving.’ If they don’t come out, how can they make money? Do they want to rely on the stones in their place? Selling things is simple, sell as per the weight. If they can’t weigh it correctly, they can weigh it at home and take it out in small bags to sell. It’s such a simple thing!"

Xu Xiaoyan waved her hands, "Stop! Don’t say anything more. Let me think about it first!"

If the girl wants him to shut up, then he would.

Actually, Yan Fei himself was a bit surprised after laying out his plan. He recalled his own solution and found that it was viable. He started congratulating himself in his heart, ’So, I have indeed become wittier!’

He really was in a dilemma. Initially, he only wanted to get rid of an apple-polisher to have a moment alone with his girl. Now, he found himself thinking about the big issues of poverty alleviation and reservoir building for a poor mountainous village.

It seems that when a person gets desperate, they can indeed come up with every kind of solution.

Watching his girl thinking deeply, Yan Fei nudged her, "You should eat! The food’s all cold. After eating, we can discuss this with her. We’d only know if it works after trying it. There’s no use in just thinking about it here; it also depends on whether they are willing to try."

After eating, Xu Xiaoyan pulled Little Dark-skinned Girl aside, found a quiet place, and began whispering.

Yan Fei felt helpless. Even at such a short distance, he could still hear them clearly if he wanted to. But he really didn’t feel like listening. As long as his wife wasn’t meddling unnecessarily, what the Little Dark-skinned Girl decided was no concern of his.

He ended up waiting till dark, and after eating more than a dozen tomatoes and twenty-something cucumbers in a corner, did the two finally return.

Before Yan Fei could ask anything, Xu Xiaoyan began, "Don’t ask. We need to discuss more. Later, after we return to the dormitory, we need everyone to discuss together. This is a big matter; we can’t make a hasty decision."

Yan Fei put on a pitiful look, "So, are you still going to the library with me?"

The girl was in a dilemma, "Or how about this...I go with you for a while and then come back? Yangyang, what do you think..."

Before Little Dark-skinned Girl could respond, Yan Fei interjected, "Classmate Yangyang, I’m sorry! I came on a bicycle today. You see, my bicycle can only accommodate one person, right? So, you don’t have to accompany us! Anyways, I’ll drop Sister Xiaoxing back here later."

’As expected’ – this idiom was made for occasions like these. He had planned it well beforehand. Though bringing the bicycle was convenient for taking the girl out, the more important goal was to get rid of Little Dark-skinned Girl.

After saying this, he was elated, ’Humph! Little Dark-skinned Girl, you’re out of moves, right? Look at how wise and resourceful I, Hero Yan, am! Let’s see how you’re going to follow us. If you’ve got the guts, say you’ll sit in the bicycle basket! If you dare, I’ll take you!’

As expected, hearing Yan Fei’s words, Little Dark-skinned Girl looked at the bicycle in dilemma, before turning to Xu Xiaoyan, "Sister Xiaoxing, you guys go ahead! I’ll be waiting in the dormitory."

Yan Fei’s face was expressionless, but his heart was giving himself a thumbs up, ’Victory in the Kissing Defense Campaign!’
