Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Seeing the Scumbag Old Friend Again (9)_1 Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Seeing the Scumbag Old Friend Again (9)_1 “The neighboring street?” Lin Yuan pointed toward West Street, wasn’t her Rice Flower Fragrance located on that very street?

Sister Gui Zhi shook her head, smiling, “We originally planned to go there, but there were no suitable spots, so we found one on East Street instead.

Even though there’s a Chunfeng Building on that street, our shop is on the other end, so it doesn’t matter.”

Lin Yuan nodded, indeed, Sister Gui Zhi was looking for two adjoining shops, and such properties were truly hard to find.

Didn’t she also wait for a long time before Meng Liangdong decided to sell when she was looking for a shop on West Street?

In fact, Lin Yuan had also taken a liking to East Street initially, but considering she still had two younger sisters at home, it was inconvenient there, so she shifted her focus to West Street.

Honestly, doing business on East Street was a bit easier than on West Street, and with the couple sticking close together, there shouldn’t be any problems.

“Since you’ve already set your eyes on the shops, you might as well seal the deal quickly.

It’s indeed not easy to find two connected shops.”

Gui Zhi smiled and nodded, “Yes, we’ve already put down a deposit.

The two shops have one owner who plans to clear out the existing inventory before selling.

So, I have one more month to prepare the silver.”

Seeing Lin Yuan frown, Gui Zhi noticed her concern and reassured, “Don’t worry, your Brother Er Shuan used to make shelves for that shop owner, they’re quite familiar with each other, he won’t cheat us.

Also, we made a written agreement when we paid the deposit.

If he goes back on his word, at most, we’ll just have to look for another shop, there won’t be any loss.”

That’s good.

Lin Yuan finally felt relieved and joked, “Madam Boss, when you take over the shops, aren’t you going to hire some help?

What kind of madam boss does the work herself?”

Gui Zhi was amused by her words, giving her a playful glare, but the smile on her face couldn’t be hidden, “Who says a madam boss can’t work?

You’ve opened two shops, do you not manage them?”

Lin Yuan scratched her head, smiling.

“But there’s no need to hire anyone,” said Gui Zhi as she finished baking the last of the sesame cakes, wiped her hands, and took a seat beside Lin Yuan, just waiting for customers to arrive.

“Behind those two shops, there’s a small courtyard.

Though it’s not very big, it has two rooms.

When the time comes, I’ll bring your Auntie and Xiao He over as well.

If the kids can study in the academy that’s the best, but if they can’t get in, they can start at the small school next door.

Your Auntie and I will be busy enough with the shop work; we don’t need to hire extra help.”

This was actually a good idea.

Running a shop is not like running a street stall; it would take up more time.

With both husband and wife busy in town, home would inevitably be neglected.

Rather than worrying and commuting back and forth, it would be better to bring the family elders and children along.

Moreover, she had also inquired these past few days that apart from the best academy in the town, there was also a small school where many children from ordinary families studied.

Lin Yuan had originally planned to send Lin Wei and Xiao Linshuang to that small school.

Therefore, after Rice Flower Fragrance gets going, she also considered whether to bring the whole family to the town or just have the two younger sisters commute.

Raising her hand to stroke her younger sister who was still burying her head in eating sesame cakes, Lin Yuan smiled indulgently.

After sitting for a while, customers began to slowly flock to Sister Gui Zhi’s stall.

Lin Yuan checked the time and saw it was time to head home.

Old Iron Head insisted that Lin Jiaxin stay and have a good drink with him, but at the moment Lin Jiaxin was still taking medicinal soup and couldn’t touch alcohol.

So, they agreed to drink together after his leg fully recovered before calling it quits.

Pushing Lin Jiaxin leisurely toward Rice Flower Fragrance, along the way Lin Jiaxin also picked a few small pieces of jewelry for Lady Liu and the girls.

Just as they arrived at the entrance of Rice Flower Fragrance, Lin Yuan noticed Xie Zhiyuan hurriedly coming out from the cloth shop across the street.

Mo Sanniang seemed to be shouting something, chasing after him.

Seeing that he was already far away, she stamped her foot in frustration, biting her lip as she went back into the shop.

Concerned, Lin Yuan asked Liuzi to push Lin Jiaxin back to the front hall to rest for a while, while she herself went to check out the cloth shop.
