Lin Jiayi ordered two plates of meat buns, several side dishes, and two bowls of porridge.
Sitting there alone, she ate half and left half.
The most unexpected thing for Sun Lanlan was that she actually said she planned to buy the Bun Shop and have Sun Lanlan work with her.
"Xiaxia, has Lin Jiayi gone crazy? And what’s with her outfit, like she’s some kind of shaman, with her hair permed like that and her lips painted like that? I heard she got divorced, is she traumatized?"
Otherwise, why would she say such nonsense in broad daylight?
Lin Chuxia also didn’t expect Lin Jiayi to say such things at the Bun Shop.
Whether she was traumatized, Lin Chuxia didn’t know, but one thing’s for sure, was Lin Jiayi having a good life and now coming to stir up trouble for her?
"What else did she say?"
"She said she knows I’m not in charge, and asked me to pass the message to you. It’s not that she wants to oppose you; she just feels that since you’re not in Ancheng County, the business shouldn’t be managed by an outsider like me. After all, she’s your eldest sister, and you should trust her to manage the business."
Lin Chuxia couldn’t understand Lin Jiayi’s actions.
Since childhood, this elder sister has loved to compete with her. If she now had money or a backer, it wouldn’t be right to grab her stuff so blatantly.
She should know that Lin Chuxia was no longer the little sister she could easily manipulate when they were at home.
Moreover, even if she grabbed, she couldn’t possibly take it away.
"Xiaxia, I say just ignore her; I want to see what else she can do."
Lin Chuxia nodded, she had never intended to pay attention.
However, Lin Chuxia hadn’t expected that Lin Jiayi wouldn’t give up even if she ignored her.
After two more days, Zhang Guilan also talked to her about this.
Lin Jiayi first went to the station shop where Sun Lanlan worked, waited a few days without any news, probably realized Sun Lanlan wasn’t in charge of the Bun Shop, and didn’t pass her message to Lin Chuxia because they were so close growing up, thus she found another shop.
"Your eldest sister asked me to convey a message, asking you to name a price. She can buy both shops."
Zhang Guilan spoke hesitantly, "Sister-in-law, are you really planning to sell the Bun Shop?"
Although the shop belongs to her sister-in-law, and she has the final say in buying and selling.
Even without the Bun Shop, she could return to the village to farm or open a farm supply store with her husband.
But having worked in the shop for so long, with so many old customers becoming acquaintances, she felt a bit reluctant to leave.
Lin Chuxia comforted, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I have no plans to sell the shop. You don’t need to mind my eldest sister’s words; she has no say in my affairs."
"But she’s already come to you, and she said she’d let your mom talk to you, that this won’t make you lose out."
"Then let them come and talk to me directly."
Lin Chuxia also wanted to understand what they were up to.
..................
Lin Chuxia wasn’t concerned with the Qin Family’s matters.
She hadn’t been in contact with the Qin Family for a long time; they probably thought she went to Yan City and didn’t know she recently returned to An City.
And she had more important matters now.
On the fifth day, Wang Cheng brought news.
However, seeing Wang Cheng’s expression, Lin Chuxia had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Wang Cheng said dejectedly, "Mr. Lin, I might disappoint you; there’s been a setback with the vegetable station matter."
