Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute
Chapter 493: Mother-in-law?

Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Mother-in-law?

Seeing how much the woman really wanted to buy a hen, Lu Siyuan was very accommodating. He, too, wanted to make another sale, but if the woman wasn’t willing to wait, there was nothing he could do.

Mianmian had just said that this chicken was to be kept, so it would be kept.

"My daughter has just had a baby not too long ago, I want to buy one now, stew it all afternoon, and have her drink it tonight..."

As the woman was speaking, suddenly someone called out in surprise, "Big sister, you’re here to buy groceries too?"

Hearing the voice, both the woman and Lu Siyuan turned to look, only to see the old lady who had reserved the old hen yesterday, cheerfully walking over with a basket in hand.

"Oh my! Mother-in-law, your timing is perfect. I was planning on buying a chicken to nourish my daughter, but they insist it’s been reserved by someone else and no matter what I say, they just won’t sell it to me."

Mother-in-law?

Turns out they were buying for the same person?

It was a good thing he listened to Mianmian, or he would have sold the chicken.

Lu Siyuan couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the situation; now he didn’t have to say anything, the two women could work it out themselves.

"My goodness!" the old lady from yesterday exclaimed hitting her thigh, "What a coincidence, this is the very chicken I ordered. I was late today because I was washing diapers, and I was worried someone else would have bought the chicken. I didn’t expect the shop owner to be so trustworthy."

The old lady from yesterday was delighted, feeling that the shop owner was reliable and trustworthy, which gave her plenty of face.

If the mother-in-law had bought the chicken and then gone to her house, to find out she hadn’t bought a chicken stew for her daughter-in-law, she surely would have been unhappy. Now, not only did they know she had bought one, but it was also home-raised.

This proved that she really cared for her daughter-in-law; it wasn’t just empty talk.

With the hen being for the same person, both in-laws were happy, and after discussing it, they directly reserved another one.

In an instant, he made two sales and didn’t offend anyone—it was a win-win situation.

Afterward, they also bought some green vegetables from the store and left together, discussing how they should advertise and bring in more business for this shop.

No sooner had they left than Lu Siyuan went into the shop and approached Shen Mianmian, saying, "There really are such coincidences. It’s a good thing I trusted you and didn’t sell the chicken."

"Of course, I am the modern-day female Zhuge Liang," Shen Mianmian boasted a bit.

"Pssh," Lu Siyuan rolled his eyes, "A little praise and you get all puffed up."

However, he had to admit, in this regard, Shen Mianmian really did have a better head for business than he did. The success of their business was owed to her clever mind; he had no idea where this girl got all her cunning ideas from.

Shen Jianhua and his wife were truly blind not to hold on to such a cash cow and instead support Zhou Siyu, that scheming woman.

Pitiful and lamentable; one day they would surely regret it.

Seeing his eyes darting around, Shen Mianmian knew he wasn’t up to any good and reminded him irritably, "Don’t forget to tell Brother Jun to bring the old hens."

"I know, nagging like an old granny," Lu Siyuan said disdainfully, though he didn’t truly mind, "Is Zhang Qian not planning to come? It’s almost eight o’clock."

"If she doesn’t come today, we’ll post another notice tomorrow."

Hearing their conversation, Xiaocui chimed in, "It seems like you didn’t tell her what time to come to work today."

"..."

Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan looked at each other, "Did I not say it?"

Lu Siyuan: "Seems like we didn’t."

Shen Mianmian: "..."

Alright then!

It was her first time being the boss, and she wasn’t yet used to it, actually overlooking this detail.
