Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Making Trouble_1

Xia Ningxing looked at the village chief who was still standing at Xia’s place and suddenly realized there might be something going on, "Village chief grandpa, may I ask if there is anything else?"

"Yes, there is, a piece of great news." The village chief stroked his beard and grinned broadly.

Mrs. Xia hurriedly invited him into the house.

Seeing this, Lu Tingli reached out and patted Xia Ningxing’s head, "Then I’ll head back first."

Before Xia Ningxing could reply, the village chief spoke again, "You’re the Lu family boy, right? Are your parents at home? Hurry up and call them over too. I might as well tell you all at once, so I don’t have to make two trips."

After hearing this, Xia Ningxing, who had initially been puzzled about why the village chief was looking for their family, now understood.

Their home and that of the big boss’s were going to be demolished!

The timing couldn’t have been better—just as their factory in Capital City was about to be completed. Once they moved over, they could start production almost immediately.

Her own Beauty Makeup Empire was about to be established.

"Okay, I’ll go call them." Lu Tingli had also realized it was about the demolition issue.

It so happened that both Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu were at home today.

Aside from Xia Jiehao, who was busy with the factory in Capital City, everyone else was present.

"It’s like this, the higher-ups want to build a road that happens to go right through both of your houses. They asked me to see if you would prefer cash or new houses," said the village chief.

After he finished speaking, the opinions of both the Xia family and the Lu family were surprisingly unanimous, preferring cash to having new houses built for them.

"If you don’t want the houses, where are you planning to live after that?" The village chief couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"Capital City," both families said in unison.

The Xia family was definitely moving to Capital City, after all, Xia Jiehao had settled there.

As for Lu Tingli, he was already secretly starting his various affairs in Capital City, so naturally, he was planning to move there.

Hearing their reply, the village chief immediately showed a look of amazement and envy, "Capital City, that is right under the emperor’s nose, a good place indeed. I had the fortune to visit it once..."

After sending off the village chief, Xia Ningxing and the big boss’s family began to pack their belongings.

The news spread throughout Peach Blossom Village, and people were almost dying of envy.

Old Mrs. Xia, who was lying at home with a foot injury, however, had a face full of bitter resentment, "Thinking of demolishing? Fat chance!"

She seemed to think of something and called over Xia Aiguo, whispering in her ear for a while.

...

On the Xia’s side, they were distributing severance pay to the workers.

Mrs. Xia had hinted long ago that the perfume studio wouldn’t last much longer and that they would move to Capital City, so when the studio was indeed closed, the workers were a bit melancholic but could accept it.

Mrs. Xia told them that if they wished to follow her to Capital City, she would find them a good position; if they didn’t want to go with her, then she would give them a fair amount of severance pay.

In the end, nearly everyone took the severance pay. They were either local housewives or from nearby villages, all with families to take care of, and could not easily leave.

Only a widow with no one to turn to decided to take her child and follow Mrs. Xia to Capital City.

Tonight was Xia Ningxing’s family’s last night in their old house.

By tomorrow, someone from above would come to deliver the demolition compensation to them.

That night, Xia Ningxing slept uneasily and even dreamed that her own house was on fire.

Then her mother and brothers all perished in the flames...
