Chapter 487 Volunteering to Help
Fortunately, Sweetheart Place was not far from home, and the three of them arrived there after a short walk.
Green Bean changed the bamboo basket in his hand and said, "It's finally here."
Ye Mingzhu was a little amused: "Are you tired? I'll help you carry it."
Green Bean quickly ran away: "No, no, it's not heavy, I can hold it myself."
In fact, the thing was not heavy, but the bamboo basket that Luodou chose just now was not small. Although he was very strong due to his martial arts training, the diameter of the bamboo basket he was carrying was as long as his arm, which was a bit inconvenient.
However, no matter how inconvenient it was, Green Bean refused to ask others for help. He believed that since he wanted to buy these things, he had to carry them himself.
"Okay, we're almost there. Can you let Green Bean have an extra piece of dessert today?" Ye Mingzhu said to Green Bean with a smile.
"That's great." Green Bean's eyes lit up when he heard this. He no longer minding the inconvenience of the bamboo basket and walked forward quickly, but stopped outside Sweetheart House.
Ye Mingzhu saw Luodou stop and was about to take the bamboo basket from him: "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
"No, no." Ludou lowered his voice and pulled the corner of Ye Mingzhu's clothes: "Sister, look at that person."
Ye Mingzhu looked in the direction that Luodou said, and saw a young man who was dressed simply and looked very elegant helping Ruan Linlin collect money.
"Sister, is that the new person hired in the shop?" Ye Yun'an asked.
"No." Ye Mingzhu shook her head. She knew very well that Sweetheart Shop did not hire any men because Ludou and Ruan Linlin were not married. If they hired a male waiter, it would easily be criticized. So she told Ruan Linlin at the beginning that Sweetheart Shop would only hire female waiters.
"Okay, no matter who that person is, let's go over there first."
The three of them walked closer and could hear the young man's cheerful voice: "You want a pound of mung bean cakes? Okay, Linlin, a pound of mung bean cakes."
The man spoke softly to Ruan Linlin beside him, then took the mung bean cake from her hand and handed it to her.
To those who don't know the situation, the two of them seem to be in perfect harmony with each other.
But Ye Mingzhu remembered that she had asked Ruan Linlin a few days ago, and she said that she had no plans to get married for the time being. In addition, Ye Wu seemed to have a crush on Ruan Linlin, and this young man looked suspicious no matter how she looked at him.
After the two people queuing in front of the counter left, Ye Mingzhu took Ye Yunan and Lu Dou over.
The young man was looking at Ruan Linlin with expectant eyes, as if waiting for Ruan Linlin's answer, but Ruan Linlin was a little hesitant, as if it was difficult to make a decision.
"Sister Linlin, we are here." Ludou walked over happily, interrupting the vague ambiguity between the two.
"Luodou, Yun'an, and Boss, you are all here." Ruan Linlin looked up and greeted the three of them with a smile.
"Sister Linlin, is this the new clerk hired in the shop?" Ye Mingzhu looked at the young man next to her with a smile.
"No," Ruan Linlin shook her head. "This is Xia Yao's brother, Master Xia. Xia Yao twisted her ankle yesterday, so her brother came to help today."
Xia Mingcheng smiled at Ye Mingzhu and said, "It's really because my sister's foot is injured. It's hard for her to go out these days. In order not to delay Shopkeeper Ruan's business, I'll come and help for a few days."
Ruan Linlin quickly shook her head: "Mr. Xia, I've already said that Xia Yao should rest at home for a few days. I can handle this myself."
Xia Mingcheng shook his head seriously: "Since my sister is working as a shop assistant, she can't delay the business. Shopkeeper Ruan, don't worry, I will come to help until my sister recovers."
Ruan Linlin's face was full of helplessness: "Really, there's no need. You can see that our business isn't that good. We really don't need two people watching over us."
Even when Xia Yao was around, she would help Ruyi from behind, and would only come to the front when there were a lot of people.
But Ruyi just said that she was not used to letting Xia Mingcheng go to the back, and Xia Mingcheng seemed to prefer staying in the front.
"Use it, use it, be honest." Xia Mingcheng insisted on his own ideas as if he didn't understand what Ruan Linlin said.
Ruan Linlin looked at Ye Mingzhu helplessly, hoping he could come up with some advice.
Ye Mingzhu suppressed her laughter and said to Xia Mingcheng, "Mr. Xia, there aren't many people in the shop right now. Why don't you go home first?"
Xia Mingcheng shook his head, and Ye Mingzhu continued, "Sister Linlin and I are here, so we can still handle it. Besides, Sister Linlin hasn't gotten married yet, so it's really inappropriate for you to stand here."
Xia Mingcheng glanced at Ruan Linlin before standing up: "Then I'll go back today and come back tomorrow."
Ruan Linlin didn't say anything, just waved at him.
After Xia Mingcheng walked away, Ruan Linlin sighed, "Boss, you don't know, Xia Yao's brother is just like a dog-skin plaster. I told you that I won't hire anyone else during Xia Yao's rest period, but he seemed not to understand and insisted on helping here."
"It would be fine if he didn't come to help. During the few days he came to help, the business in the shop was even worse than before. He always talked to the customers for a long time. Although he meant well, it really delayed our business."
"Then don't let him come." Luodou said indifferently. He went to the back to get a piece of dessert and came back just in time to hear Ruan Linlin's words.
"I've told him several times, and you've seen it, but he seems to be unable to hear me." Ruan Linlin was also helpless. "He comes every day, and I charge him a day's salary, but he can't do much work at all. It's such a waste of money."
"Puchi..." Ye Mingzhu really couldn't help laughing. Why did he feel that Xia Mingcheng had ulterior motives just now? He seemed to have taken a fancy to Ruan Linlin and wanted to get the upper hand over her, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect.
"Sister, I think what Sister Linlin said is absolutely right. If that person comes and doesn't work, he can't stay here." Green Bean said angrily.
Ye Yun'an looked at Ye Mingzhu's expression and felt something was wrong, so he didn't say anything and quietly ate the snack in his hand.
"How about this, fifth brother will probably be on vacation tomorrow, so we can ask him to help then, and we won't have to hire anyone else." Green Bean's eyes lit up and he came up with an idea.
"No." Ruan Linlin immediately objected.
"Why? Fifth brother is very nimble and must be able to do a lot of work." Luodou tilted his head to look at Ruan Linlin.
Ruan Linlin couldn't give a reason and finally just said it was inconvenient.
"It's not inconvenient at all. I think Green Bean's idea is good. Let Fifth Brother come to help tomorrow. If he is still too busy, we will have to hire another person. We can't just not hire anyone because Xia Yao is inconvenient." Ye Mingzhu said this, looking like she was just watching the fun.
Ruan Linlin couldn't object anymore and could only agree.
When Ye Wu came back in the evening, he knew that he had to go to Sweetheart Place to help the next day. He was surprised and asked, "You want me to go to Sweetheart Place to help?"
