Chapter 382: Why Do You Want to Make Clothes
"That’s now, not before," Qin Xiangnuan said simply. She also told a little lie. It wasn’t possible to say she had known in advance that there would be construction on the road there. Instead, she mentioned that one day, as she happened to pass by, someone said the shop was for sale. Seeing that it was cheap and having some money on hand, she bought it. Her thought was that even if she were to resell it later, she could still make a bit more money.
You really stumbled into it by accident.
Granny Lu was finally able to let go of the concern she had been holding on to. She had been worrying about the new shop recently. Now that the shop turned out to be such a good buy, or rather too good of a buy, their family’s shop could continue to operate, and they could make money from it.
However, now that they had the shop, things were not yet complete.
"Granny, this new shop is quite big. You alone won’t be able to manage, and we can’t just sell Conghua pancakes, can we?" Qin Xiangnuan took the opportunity of having some free time, and with Granny Lu also being present, to discuss the matter she had been considering.
"I’ve thought about this already," Granny Lu had her own ideas.
"Granny is planning to hire a few more people, preferably those who come from the countryside, who are honest and quick with their hands. Our upstairs space is just right for living; we can just put some beds there. We can bring in other items to sell in the evening. Since Granny is just idle at home, having some help means Granny just needs to collect the money."
Granny Lu now had some business acumen. She knew her own capabilities. Otherwise, if she were on her own, she could at most only sell in the mornings. But with hired help, she could also sell in the evenings. These places were busy in the mornings and evenings. Not to earn the money would be foolish. In the future, when the two kids grow up, she needs to save more money to provide for them, considering she still has the energy and ability to work. At least, when Xiang Yang gets married, he would need a house, right?
Qin Xiangnuan did not know Granny Lu’s thoughts, but she was relieved that Granny Lu was considering getting some help. As long as Granny Lu could understand this point, things would be fine. Qin Xiangnuan wouldn’t have to worry about Granny Lu exhausting herself.
