Sanya was stunned and shook her head quickly. “I don’t want it. I have it.”
Shu Yu also said, “Eating too much hawthorn isn’t good for her stomach. One skewer is enough. Dad, keep it for yourself.”
After hearing that it was bad for the body, Lu Erbai didn’t insist. He just patted his youngest daughter’s head and smiled at her happy expression.
Shu Yu bought a lot of things on the way back. With money in her hands, she could not restrain her desire to shop.
Lu Erbai tried to persuade her a few times but to no avail.
Fortunately, the things she bought were not expensive. They were just some snacks. It was obvious that she had specially brought them back for everyone to eat.
When the mule carriage stopped at the entrance of Liufang Alley, the old lady, and the others had already bought the vegetables and prepared the meal, waiting for them to return.
Sanya took a stick of candied haws from Lu Erbai. After getting out of the car, she ran inside. “Brother, Brother will give you something delicious.”
Dahu was sweeping the floor with a broom. When he heard the sound, he suddenly looked up. Then, a string of bright red candied haws was right in front of his eyes.
The Dahu was stunned and looked at Sanya.
The latter tilted her head and ate her skewer as she handed the skewer in her hand to him. “Here you go. Our Sister bought it for us. We all have one. It’s delicious.’
The Dahu’s eyes sparkled as he quickly took it.
The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled. They bit on the candied haws and laughed.
Shu Yu could not help but laugh. It was indeed easy to be satisfied in a child’s world. Having a stick of candied haws was like having everything.
Shu Yu distributed the remaining candied haws. Daniu scratched his head in embarrassment. “I have some too?”
Daniu didn’t want to go back today in case he had to rush over tomorrow. It would be too troublesome.
However, he wasn’t going to stay here tonight. After dinner, he went to the shop to sleep.
He had been busy these days. Shu Yu meant that although he was her cousin, she couldn’t let him work for anything. She had to pay him some money.
The old lady agreed with her, but Daniu disagreed.
The old lady hit him a few times. “You’re getting married at the end of the year. Your mother is so stingy. Don’t you have some money saved up? If your wife wants to buy something to eat in the future, do you have to use her dowry?” Daniu instantly thought of Daya’s situation and shook his head. “Of course not.”
The old lady slapped a string of copper coins into his hand, causing his palm to turn red. “Since you know that, then you have to plan for yourself. After you get married, you and your wife will be your own family. You’re a man, so you have to give your wife to rely on. Money is the most practical thing, do you understand?”
Daniu understood, so he hesitated for a moment before accepting the copper coins.
The old lady was satisfied, finally, said, “You’re the eldest grandson in the Lu family, never been taught by your mother to be foolish.”
The grandma was talking about his mother, so Daniu could only laugh dryly and did not refute.
Only then did the old lady chase him back to the shop to sleep.
After Daniu left, Shu Yu took out the money she had earned from selling the scar removal cream.
“Just in time. Before the opening ceremony tomorrow, let’s check the accounts and make some money later so that we can have an idea.”
Looking at the banknotes on the table, the old lady and Madame Ruan felt as if their worldview had been shattered.
Yu went out and earned another 150 taels of silver.
Could it be that they had seen too little of the world, so they didn’t know that there were so many rich people now?
