My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 370 - 10 The Evil Guest_2

She teared up, "Xiao Guai, if you hate to make less money, just say it. Why must you slander me?"

Lin Xiaoguai frowned upon hearing this, finding Hu Fangfang such an exasperating person. She wasn’t afraid of anything, but she dreaded her endless nagging.

She sighed, feeling troubled, when another customer walked in.

"Mrs. Shen, is the business going well today?" The newcomer was surprised to find other customers in the shop besides herself, as it was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

"Mrs. Lv." Lin Xiaoguai nodded and smiled, then softly explained, "There was a little argument, so it took some extra time."

Lin Xiaoguai was so beloved by these ladies and misses not only because of her own excellence and strong backing, but also because of her character.

Open and honest, without any hidden agendas.

Such characters might be hard to befriend deeply, but everyone preferred to maintain friendly relations within a certain range with them because they were deemed reliable—no need to worry about being betrayed, and during tough times, these kinds of people, even if they didn’t intervene, wouldn’t kick someone who’s down.

Hence, upon hearing this, Mrs. Lv didn’t feel offended but instead appreciated her forthrightness, glancing at Hu Fangfang and others, she said, "Since they are not in a hurry, you can attend to my matter first."

Lin Xiaoguai flashed an apologetic smile to Hu Fangfang and her group and smoothly said, "Mrs. Lv is here to buy something, right?"

Mrs. Lv nodded, "I was supposed to attend a medical charity event, but something happened on the way. My wallet was stolen, containing a check for fifty thousand yuan that I planned to donate today. There was no time to go back and get it, and since your store was nearby, I came to see if I could borrow some money for the emergency."

Mrs. Lv’s husband was the director of Capital Comprehensive Hospital, and she herself was a top-notch surgeon. Injured in her youth, she could no longer operate, but she had trained many excellent surgeons. She had always focused on the medical profession and, along with her husband, had invested one-third of their savings in it, making her a highly respectable woman.

Though they weren’t close friends, Lin Xiaoguai deeply admired her, and Mrs. Lv liked her clear and bright character.

"Just a moment." Lin Xiaoguai took out a check from a nearby cabinet and was about to fill it out when, catching Hu Fangfang’s intent gaze from the corner of her eye, she changed her mind from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand.

Mrs. Lv, looking at the check, exclaimed in surprise, "Why is it one hundred thousand?"

"The other fifty thousand yuan is a little something from me." Lin Xiaoguai replied with a faint smile.

Mrs. Lv hesitated, "I heard that your husband, Xiao Shen, is about to venture into a new industry. Do you have enough funds?" Naturally, she didn’t have much regard for hustling businessmen, but Shen Chi was different; his abilities were exceptional, he handled business without neglecting his main job, benefited retired soldiers, and remembered to reduce the national burden.

You see, the funding at the base level of the military was always limited; Shen Chi had to often financially support it from his own pocket.

In the entire Upper Layer of the Capital, she respected this couple the most. Not to mention Shen Chi, but Lin Xiaoguai was also known to have used her writing fees and flower sales to save many injured soldiers suffering due to lack of medical funds.

If it weren’t for the high expenses and the many places requiring money, Lin Xiaoguai, a Junior General’s wife, with all her talents, wouldn’t have to exert herself by managing a farm and running that craft store.

—It must be said, whether intentionally like Shen Chi or unintentionally like Lin Xiaoguai, both managed their reputations very effectively.

"We have enough. Made quite a bit from foreigners recently, so it’s enough for anything." Lin Xiaoguai never hesitated to share how she had made a good sum from foreigners.

"Then I’ll accept this money without ceremony and return the check and the borrowed amount to you later," Mrs. Lv said, relieved.

"Wait!" Seeing her about to leave, Lin Xiaoguai quickly took a pair of shoes from the cabinet and handed them to her, "I think Mrs. Lv might have sprained her foot. Wearing leather shoes will only aggravate the injury. These are cloth shoes I made; try them to see if they fit." While she said this, her skill in tailoring, honed during her studies, allowed her to instantly gauge the other’s shoe size to be the same as grandma’s, hence she brought out the new cloth shoes she made for grandma.

Mrs. Lv was taken aback but then smiled, "It’s just a minor injury, no sprain, but it’s thoughtful of you to notice."

However, she didn’t refuse Lin Xiaoguai’s kindness, thanked her, and changed into the cloth shoes.

Even after Mrs. Lv had left, Hu Fangfang’s wide eyes hadn’t returned to normal. Had Lin Xiaoguai just nonchalantly handed out fifty thousand yuan?

The words she had just said... She only felt a burning pain on her face, even more embarrassed to face her three companions.

These people were not like Guo Hong or Bian Yumei, who used to take care of and favor her.

In reality, among these people, Hu Fangfang was simply one to flatter others. Seeing her embarrassed, not only did no one comfort her, but they also seemed to be enjoying her mishap.

"Xiao Guai, since you’re so wealthy, how about we get our stuff for half price?" Hu Fangfang blurted out, her mind still not caught up, swirling with various emotions.

After finishing, her face turned pale, realizing she had just made a fool of herself. freewebnøvel.com

Nearby Cheng Shuhui, Xiang Ling, and Bao Hongyu were also taken aback, looking at her with strange expressions, not sure if they were surprised by her thick-skinned statement or stunned by such a foolish remark.

But quickly, two of them disengaged themselves, as whether it was Hu Fangfang losing face or Lin Xiaoguai losing money, it wasn’t their loss. (The story continues.
