Chapter 583: Chapter 583 That Damn Embarrassment_1
Li Qing gave Han Mei a call and told her about his plans to buy a place in Shili Yi.
"You’re planning to buy a place in Shili Yi?" Han Mei asked with surprise after hearing this.
"I think this place looks pretty good, and it can serve as a short-term transitional place," Li Qing revealed his plan.
After a long silence, Han Mei asked, "Then what about all the matters in the village?"
"We were just about to renovate the house, and if you buy a place in Shili Yi, there’s really no need to fix up the village anymore. As for the rest, the convenience store and barbecue stall are doing okay, but we can close them if necessary. It’s just that now you’ve contracted so much land, and if the Wenguan Leaves market is better next year, you can’t just casually abandon that, right?"
Actually, if it weren’t for the face of it, it would be okay for Li Qing to drop these things, or even stop doing them altogether, because the profit from just any elixir was enough for him to be busy for a whole quarter.
"Elder sister-in-law, Shili Yi isn’t far from home. My idea is to start with something like rural tourism or a homestay here to get the place up and running, and then we can see how things go later on," Li Qing said.
He could hear the full reluctance in Han Mei’s tone, so he had to phrase things more gently.
Not moving, but starting rural tourism should be okay, right?
In Li Qing’s plan, the main thing about buying a place in Shili Yi was to bring the women around him closer together.
To him, that alone made it worthwhile.
"I see, then alright, we can go and have a look when you have time," Han Mei’s tone finally became much lighter.
Li Qing silently smiled; she was indeed still somewhat reluctant.
Although Han Mei was young, her attachment to her native place was stronger than most old men.
"I’m currently in Shili Yi; I’ll find a car to pick you up," Li Qing said.
"Alright, I’ll pack up and head over," Han Mei replied.
Afterwards, Li Qing contacted a ride-share driver and had him make a trip to Sanhe Village.
Qi Mengru squeezed into Li Qing’s arms, bare-skinned, "Did your sister-in-law agree to come?"
"Yeah," Li Qing said as he kneaded Qi Mengru’s soft mounds, nodding his head, "Why? Are you really nervous?"
Qi Mengru pouted, "Of course I’m nervous. How could I not be? The little concubine wandering outside is going to meet the official wife."
Li Qing silently chuckled and replied, "What do you have to be nervous about? You’ve already met my sister-in-law before, and she’s guessed about us too. So, just behave naturally."
"Easy for you to say," Qi Mengru huffed softly, pensively drawing circles on Li Qing’s chest.
After a long pause, she suddenly said, "By the way, you better not tell your sister-in-law that it’s because of me that you plan to sell the place to Shili Yi, or else there will definitely be hard feelings between us. From your sister-in-law’s tone just now, it’s clear she’s not very keen."
Li Qing nodded, "Although we’ve discussed this place, it’s actually not that convenient for you either."
"It’s almost the same, although it’s a bit further in terms of distance from the city. But if you take the ring road and bypass the traffic lights, the travel time might even be faster than going to the city," Qi Mengru said, "I’m quite satisfied with this place anyway. Don’t be lazy, get up already."
"I just sent a message to Teacher Guan as well; she’s on her way. If the two of them arrive and see us like this, they’re probably going to freak out. Looking at property in bed, that would be taking things too far."
"Let me play a little longer," Li Qing said, unwilling to let go of Qi Mengru’s soft mounds.
Perhaps because she had given birth, those mounds, although less elastic, were exceptionally soft.
"You’ve got big skills, and a big addiction too," Qi Mengru said with an annoyed chuckle.
Guan Lin arrived a bit earlier than Han Mei.
When she arrived, her cheeks were flushed, and her entire demeanor radiated shyness.
Before even reaching us, she was already feeling embarrassed.
It seems she had been thinking about that matter the whole way here.
"You guys are too crazy, how did you even find your way here?" she asked softly as she approached.
"Qingzi plans to open a guesthouse here, what do you think?" Qi Mengru said with a smile, arm in arm with Guan Lin.
"Are you really going to buy a place here? I thought it was just talk," Guan Lin asked in surprise.
Qi Mengru couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "It looks like you thought I was just making up an excuse, didn’t you?"
Guan Lin weakly nodded her head.
That was indeed what she had thought.
On the way here, she was still pondering why these two would go through so much trouble for just that little thing.
"Running a guesthouse here could be good, as long as you know how to manage it. In recent years, rural tourism and nearby getaways have been booming. More importantly, there’s a wetland park up ahead, a provincial project and a proper tourist attraction. The number of visitors should be quite substantial."
With just one breath, Guan Lin spouted a heap of professional jargon, analyzing everything so thoroughly she almost made Li Qing dizzy.
However, Li Qing understood a bit.
And that was, this business was entirely feasible.
Once the wetland park officially opens as a tourist attraction, it would become even more viable.
Moreover, if it was done well, it might even earn quite a bit.
Li Qing looked at Guan Lin with bright eyes and said, "When my sister-in-law comes later, take these ideas, break them down, and discuss them with her thoroughly. You’d be a lifesaver!"
"Huh?" Guan Lin was somewhat bewildered.
Qi Mengru was already doubled over with laughter.
"His sister-in-law isn’t very keen on moving to this place and opening a guesthouse here," Qi Mengru explained.
Guan Lin suddenly realized, "I see."
Li Qing’s thoughts about this place were actually quite simple.
The key was to find a spot where he could gather all the women around him, get them to grow closer, and facilitate future plans.
As for making money, he hadn’t really thought about it at all.
If he could make money, that would be great, but if not, it wasn’t a big deal at all.
He never planned to rely on this place to make money or to fulfill his grand ambition of securing land outside.
While the three of them were discussing the specifics and location, Han Mei arrived.
She paused in surprise when she saw Qi Mengru and Guan Lin with Li Qing, then came over with a smile, "You guys are here too."
"Qingzi called us over to help take a look," said Qi Mengru, somewhat uneasily.
In terms of everyone’s relationship, she had long positioned her mindset correctly.
It was because of this that her trepidation, like that of a mistress in the presence of the wife, was very genuine at this moment.
Han Mei laughed softly, "We really need to trouble you with this; we don’t understand anything in this field."
"We mainly have to rely on Teacher Guan, I don’t really understand much either," Qi Mengru quickly pushed Guan Lin forward.
