My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 347 - 1 The First Guests
Chapter 347: Chapter 1 The First Guests
After Shen Xiu’s family of three happily left, Lin Xiaoguai’s gift shop remained the same, cold and empty without a single customer.
Zhu Huihui had heard that she opened a store and rushed over excitedly to say she wanted to help bring in business, but upon seeing the prices in the store, she was immediately stunned, which made Lin Xiaoguai laugh. freewёbnoνel.com
"Your items are so expensive, will customers come in, or rather, will customers buy them?" Zhu Huihui looked around the store’s merchandise, clicking her tongue while also feeling that these items did indeed look classy.
It wasn’t that she had an exceptional eye to see the value of the goods, but the appearance and packaging of the items on the shelves were really exquisite, which was very rare in this era.
"There are always rich people in the world." Lin Xiaoguai smiled and handed her a freshly made cup of soy milk.
Zhu Huihui sipped it delightedly and then said, "You should still ask some acquaintances to help promote your business, your husband is a Major General, surely you know some wealthy ladies, right?"
Lin Xiaoguai smiled with narrowed eyes and didn’t answer her question; Zhu Huihui’s suggestion wasn’t something she hadn’t considered, but deep down, she felt somewhat awkward, thinking that her store’s items were so good, she didn’t want to devalue them by pleading with others.
Of course, one could say her pride was acting up again.
Zhu Huihui didn’t know her thoughts and just assumed she had taken her advice when she leaned in and whispered with a blush, "Xiao Guai, let me ask you, were both your pregnancies very uncomfortable?"
"Why suddenly ask this?" Lin Xiaoguai was taken aback.
"I might be pregnant," Zhu Huihui said with joy and embarrassment, "My period has been late for nine days this month, and these past few mornings, I’ve felt a bit nauseous when brushing my teeth."
"Really?" Lin Xiaoguai asked in surprise, "Then why not go check at the hospital?"
Zhu Huixi had been married to Wang Han for over a year, but they hadn’t conceived yet, and while her in-laws were initially calm, they were also getting anxious now.
"I’m worried about getting it wrong," Zhu Huihui said, embarrassed. When she first got married, she had a period irregularity and thought she was pregnant, which turned out to be a big mix-up. Even if she was carefree, facing such a situation was embarrassing, so now she was particularly cautious.
"Then shall I accompany you to the hospital?" Lin Xiaoguai thought since there was no business in the store anyway, accompanying Huihui to the hospital wouldn’t be a problem.
"Better not," Zhu Huihui quickly stopped her, pointing to the quadruplets playing with building blocks under Shen Yinian’s supervision, "What about the kids if you leave? Besides, I’ve already arranged with Wang Han to go to the hospital after he gets off work; I’m just feeling uneasy."
"What’s there to be uneasy about? If you are pregnant, that’s great, if not, just keep trying, right?" Lin Xiaoguai was puzzled.
"I’m worried there might be something wrong with my body," Zhu Huihui said, her eyes reddening slightly.
"Why think such nonsense?" Lin Xiaoguai glared at her and said, "Didn’t you go see the doctor before? Didn’t they tell you that both you and Wang Han are in good health and there should be no problem having children?"
"But as long as I’m not pregnant, I’m still scared," Zhu Huihui vulnerably confessed.
Lin Xiaoguai sighed and comfortingly patted her head, hoping in her heart that she would really be pregnant this time and not face another disappointment.
Zhu Huihui stayed only a short while before she left. Lin Xiaoguai called Shen Yinian over and asked, "What would you like for lunch? Mom will make it for you."
"I love anything Mom makes," Shen Yinian sweetly said.
"Just trying to make me happy," she said, though the smile on Lin Xiaoguai’s face could not be hidden.
On this rare Sunday, Lin Xiaoguai didn’t make their eldest son stay and watch the quadruplets play; instead, she sent him out with some friends to play at the farm before their afternoon nap.
After waking up from their nap, Luo Yufang and Mrs. Yu came over together to take the kids out to play, and Lin Xiaoguai took out an embroidery of an old plum tree that she had been working on and continued stitching. This embroidery piece was small, and she planned to make it into a tiny folding screen once finished.
She thought the day would pass like the previous month had, but just as she was about to close the shop, Zheng Cuicui brought a group of elite women with her.
"Sister-in-law?" Lin Xiaoguai was a bit startled.
"I’ve brought some business for you," Zheng Cuicui had only found out a few days ago that Lin Xiaoguai had opened a gift shop, feeling a bit left out that she wasn’t informed. Now that she finally had the time, she brought some wealthy ladies she was close with to support the shop.
"We all know each other, so no need for formalities. My brother’s wife just opened a new store, and everyone should show some support by spending generously," Zheng Cuicui said with a smiling face.
