Chapter 938: Chapter 938: Are You Still Staying at a Small Hotel?

Shen Mianmian was good to them, and naturally, he also thought about helping Shen Mianmian save some money. Buying a tricycle not only cost money, but the monthly cost of gasoline was enough to hire an employee.

Originally, when Shen Mianmian asked Dajun to hire an assistant, Dajun was reluctant to hire a full-time worker and only hired a part-time worker who helped twice a day. Dajun was a principled man, he had no close relatives, and he would treat others even better if someone treated him well.

He never tried to cut corners in his work.

Shen Mianmian understood Dajun’s intention and knew he wanted to save her money, so she said, "Brother Jun, the ox cart is too slow. Previously, we had no choice but to use the ox cart, but now that we have money, buying a car is much more convenient. During the busy farming season, it can also transport grain, and a car can carry quite a lot at once. You wouldn’t need to make several trips a day, which could save a lot of time, and you could help Xiaocui in the store."

She specifically mentioned ’helping Xiaocui’, believing that Dajun would understand her intention.

Indeed, after hearing this, Dajun no longer refused.

Zhang Qian felt a bit envious when she heard Shen Mianmian was buying a car for Dajun to drive; she had originally wanted her husband to come and help Dajun, but her husband was unwilling.

This caused a strain between them.

She felt that following Shen Mianmian was promising, as Shen Mianmian was good to her employees, just like now, providing Dajun with a car. If Dajun ever decided to leave, wouldn’t it mean her husband could continue to drive the car?

Having both spouses working in the store would be reassuring, and over time, once Xiaocui got married and had children, it might just be her and her husband taking over the management of the store.

Unfortunately, her husband lacked foresight, always fixated on having children.

As she was thinking, suddenly Shen Mianmian snapped her back to reality, and Zhang Qian realized that Xiaocui and Dajun had already left. "Mianmian, what’s going on?"

"What were you so lost in thought about?" Shen Mianmian asked calmly.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about some family matters."

Zhang Qian made up an excuse on the spur of the moment, and Shen Mianmian didn’t suspect anything.

"Zhang Qian, it’s almost New Year’s, are you still staying in that small hotel?"

Zhang Qian laughed awkwardly and said, "I didn’t complete my confinement, so I can’t go to my sister’s house."

Her husband didn’t take her home either, and she couldn’t just go back by herself, so not staying in the hotel for the New Year meant she really had nowhere else to go.

Shen Mianmian pursed her lips and said, "Then take good care of your health, and rest well during the holiday."

"Okay." Zhang Qian nodded, then said, "Mianmian, you go ahead with your work! Xiaolian and I have nothing else to do; we’ll watch another movie."

After all, going back meant she would be staying alone in the hotel anyway.

"You want to watch more?" Since Zhang Qian hadn’t given her a heads-up, Xiaolian was taken aback by the sudden suggestion.

Although she was plump, she was quite quiet and didn’t like to interrupt others, so often, people tended to overlook her.

"Do you have anything else to do later?" Zhang Qian asked.

"No, I don’t." Xiaolian shook her head earnestly.

Zhang Qian smiled, "Then come with me to watch a movie? It’s boring going back alone."

"Alright!" Xiaolian was easygoing, and seeing Zhang Qian going back alone seemed pitiful, so she didn’t refuse.

"What movie do you want to watch? I’ll buy the movie tickets for you." Since a movie ticket only cost a few cents, Shen Mianmian didn’t mind treating them to another one.

"That ’Love Between a Ghost and a Human’ is said to be very good." Zhang Qian said.
