Madam Liang choked and looked up in shock.
Her foot under the table was madly stepping on Lu Sanzhu’s foot. The latter’s face became twisted and almost screamed.
Madam Liang laughed dryly as she stomped on the ground. “Yu, actually, you know that I don’t have much ability and can’t help you. Your uncle was just asking out of courtesy. I still have two children to take care of at home.
Especially Baoya. She’s so young. She can’t do without me.”
Lu Sanzhu, who was standing at the side, could only nod his head vigorously. It was too painful to be stepped on.
After Madam Liang finished speaking, she did not forget to bring Madam Li into the picture. “Why don’t you look for your aunt? She has nothing to do all day now. Her children have grown up, and Erniu is old enough to help with the chores at home. Other than washing clothes and cooking, she would sunbathe with her legs crossed every day. She’s very free.”
Shu Yu looked at the summer sun. How could she bask in such hot weather?
She put down her chopsticks and sighed regretfully. “That’s really a pity. I even strongly recommended you to Grandmother. Although this job doesn’t earn much, it’s still relatively easy. It’s better than selling dry goods. Since you feel that it’s not appropriate to have too many things to handle, then I’ll look for Eldest Aunt. Since Eldest Aunt is so free, she might be able to earn a lot. She might be able to earn the dowry for Lanhua in a few months.”
Madam Liang’s eyes widened. “What? What did you say? You get paid? It’s not for free?
She began to stomp on Lu Sanzhu again.
This time, Lu Sanzhu couldn’t take it anymore. He suddenly stood up and slammed the table. “My feet are swollen. If you step on me again, you’ll carry me back.”
After his anger subsided, he sat down again and smiled at Shu Yu. ‘iYu, what did you mean just now? I can earn money by helping you, right?”
He had to ask clearly. The money was the most important thing.
Madam Liang did not dare to step on Lu Sanzhu anymore and looked at Shu Yu eagerly.
Shu Yu smiled. “Yes, it’s also sewing and mending work, but it’s not making clothes. When it’s done, you’ll be paid by piece.”
Not making clothes?
Madam Liang asked in surprise, “Did your ready-to-wear clothes shop change its business? I told you that the ready-to-wear clothes shop isn’t profitable. See, it’s closed down at a loss now, right? But what else can we do if we don’t make ready-made clothes?”
Shu Yu was speechless. She suddenly regretted looking for Madam Liang.
Shu Yu sighed faintly and said) “The business of the ready-to-wear clothes shop is very good. The clothes that we made previously have all been sold out. Now, my mother and Mrs. Xiang are working hard to rush out the custom-made clothes. You really don’t have to worry about us closing down at a loss.”
“What? They’re all sold out?” Lu Sanzhu blinked in disbelief.
“What? Xiang is working there?” Madam Liang always knew how to get to the point.
Since when? Why didn’t she know?
Also, how much was Xiang’s salary for making clothes there? Madam Liang had to go and take a look.
How could Shu Yu not know what Madam Liang was thinking? She could not be bothered to say more and only said, “If you are unwilling, I’ll look for Eldest Aunt another day. I…”
“No, I’m willing. I’m very willing.” Madam Liang quickly expressed her thoughts. She did not even ask what she was supposed to do.
Shu Yu nodded. “All right, I’ll tell Grandmother later and see what arrangements we can make.”
She glanced at the table. “You guys eat first. Remember to wash the bowls and clean up the stove after you’re done.”
“All right.” The two of them agreed happily..
