Chapter 424: Chapter 34: Buying on Credit_2

"Alright, then you promised you’d let me play with your little train, don’t forget."

"I remember."

Listening to the children’s amusing conversation, Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t help but chuckle. Indeed, children are the most adorable little angels in this world.

"Chi, Wanwan, when did you guys come back?" Returning home and seeing her grandson and granddaughter-in-law standing at the door, Luo Yufang was pleasantly surprised.

"We just got back, came straight here," Lin Xiaoguai said with a smile.

"Come in, come in," Luo Yufang urged them to enter while complaining, "What’s with you guys, not even calling to let us know you’re coming back?"

"Didn’t grandma make our meal?" Shen Chi joked.

Luo Yufang was taken aback by his words and quickly turned to ask, "Mrs. Yu, is there enough dumplings made?"

"Plenty, plenty," Mrs. Yu said with a beaming smile: "Although originally we could have had another meal tomorrow morning, with the addition of the master and madam, it might not be enough."

"That’s alright, we don’t necessarily have to have dumplings tomorrow morning," Luo Yufang immediately laughed.

Lin Xiaoguai placed her luggage bag in the corner and rolled up her sleeves, "Does grandma need my help?"

"No need, it’s almost ready, just need to throw them into the water to boil," Luo Yufang shook her head.

"Then I’ll make the dipping sauce," Lin Xiaoguai thought for a moment.

After eating, the two of them first took out the gifts for the elderly, then Lin Xiaoguai took the quadruplets to the store, with Shen Chi carrying the luggage following behind them.

Upon arriving at the store, Shen Zhangming was called back home to eat by Lin Xiaoguai, while she herself stayed to start checking the accounts.

The A-grade product area was empty, as all the reserved items had been picked up by customers, and the rest needed to be made by Lin Xiaoguai.

After some thought, she added several jewelry sketches, embroidery designs, and ceramic art designs, then phoned some ladies and misses with whom she had good relationships.

The gift shop’s accounts were very clear. Although she hadn’t been to the shop for half a month, the business always favored quality over quantity, so it didn’t take her long to finish checking the accounts.

Looking up to see Shen Chi’s gaze on her, she smiled and asked, "What’s up?"

Shen Chi stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "I’m thinking maybe we should hire two shop assistants."

Lin Xiaoguai was startled, "There’s no need, I can manage on my own."

"It’s not about whether you can manage," Shen Chi shared his thoughts, "The shop needs someone on duty at all times, especially when you’re busy with other matters. Grandpa can help, and he enjoys it, but he’s nearly a hundred years old now, and that’s not a long-term plan."

"Hiring two assistants would free you up so that you can spend more time in the studio."

Thinking of how Wanwan handcrafted everything in this large store, Shen Chi felt heartache.

Lin Xiaoguai hesitated but finally nodded, "Then in a couple of days I’ll write a job posting." Just hiring two assistants didn’t require specifically looking for military families.

Although many of her works were completed in the system’s practice space when she fell asleep at night, and she also had the workshop to assist her, she couldn’t tell Shen Chi about it. And Chi was right, too; Grandpa was getting older and she couldn’t always rely on him, but the shop would only get busier.

After tidying everything up and seeing that all four little ones were starting to yawn, Lin Xiaoguai hurriedly took off their shoes and laid them on the sofa to rest. As she turned to ask Shen Chi whether he planned to sleep here or go back, she heard the wind chimes at the door tinkle, signaling a customer had arrived.

"Welcome," Lin Xiaoguai greeted.

"Eh—Is Mr. Shen not here?" The girl who appeared in the store blinked in confusion.

"You’re probably talking about my grandfather, I’m his granddaughter-in-law. What can I help you with?" Lin Xiaoguai said with a smile.

"So you’re the owner of this shop." The girl frowned and hesitated before saying, "Mr. Shen promised I could buy things on credit, you..."

Upon hearing this, both Lin Xiaoguai and Shen Chi frowned, how could grandpa agree to credit?

"I’m sorry," Lin Xiaoguai said without hesitation, "Whether what you are saying is true or false, my shop cannot allow you to buy on credit."

She carefully recalled the accounts she had just reviewed; there were no traces of credit, indicating grandpa hadn’t actually started allowing it.

Relieved by this realization, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really can’t I? I won’t buy anything expensive, and when I have money I will..."

Before the girl could finish, Lin Xiaoguai raised her hand to stop her, "I don’t want to listen to these reasons. Once again, my shop does not accept credit."

Seeing her firm attitude, the girl pursed her lips and left stubbornly.

After she left, Lin Xiaoguai and Shen Chi exchanged looks. Chi spoke, "I’ll go ask grandpa what’s going on later."

But before they could ask, Shen Zhangming came over after eating dinner, somewhat anxiously, "Wanwan, did a young girl come by just now?"

Lin Xiaoguai looked surprised and nodded, "She did come by. She talked about buying on credit, but I sent her away."

Shen Zhangming was taken aback and sighed, "That’s bad, I had agreed with her." He usually had his meals in the shop, with his wife bringing them over. He would eat and then she would take the food container back, but he had forgotten, and as a result, stood her up.

"Grandpa, did you really agree to let someone buy on credit at Wanwan’s shop?" Shen Chi raised an eyebrow in inquiry.

"No, how could I agree to such a thing?" Seeing his grandson somewhat angry, Shen Zhangming quickly shook his head.

Just as Lin Xiaoguai and Shen Chi were about to breathe a sigh of relief, he changed his tone, "I was planning to cover the cost myself; I wouldn’t let Wanwan suffer any loss."
