The old lady walked to the back of the counter with a suspicious look on her face. Only then did she see Daya mysteriously opening her tightly clenched right hand.
Madam Ruan and Lu Erbai’s attention was also drawn to this, and they looked over curiously.
In the next moment, the three of them saw the two silver notes lying in her hands. As soon as the banknote was unfolded, the three of them sucked in a cold breath.
Daya took a deep breath and then told them everything that happened after he went to the Ding residence today. “You didn’t see Yu’s technique. It was too godly. The Ding family was stunned. The fifty taels were given by Miss Ding, and the ten taels were given by Mrs. Ding. In just a short while, there were sixty taels.”
The old lady and the other two couldn’t help but gulp. They hadn’t expected this either.
A few of them raised their heads in unison to look at Shu Yu. The latter was talking to Sanya. When she felt the burning gaze, she raised her head and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
‘IN-nothing?” She just felt that Yu’s pair of hands had to be worshipped in the future.
Shu Yu inexplicably felt that their gazes made her heart skip a beat. She laughed dryly and said to the few of them, “I see that the shop has been tidied up. There’s nothing much to do. Why don’t we go to the small courtyard we rented first? We would stay in the county town tonight and come over early tomorrow. Oh right, why didn’t I see Brother Daniu?”
The old lady quickly said, “Daniu went to buy firecrackers. Isn’t the restaurant opening tomorrow? We had to release two strings to tell others.”
With that said the old lady suddenly felt that setting off two strings of firecrackers was a little too cold.
It was mainly because they had considered the fact that the family did not have money, so they hung a couplet and two strings of firecrackers. But now…
Looking at the sixty taels of silver in Daya’s hand, the Lu family fell into deep thought.
The old lady asked, “Yu, should we invite a dragon and lion dance to liven things up?
“No need, just set off firecrackers and buy some nuts to eat. If you meet anyone who comes to watch, share the joy.”
The old lady thought about how there were only a few pieces of clothing in their shop. It was indeed quite awkward to make it too big.
“Alright, let’s do it this way. When Daniu comes back, we’ll go to the small courtyard to clean up and come over early tomorrow to open for business.”
Just as the old lady finished speaking, Daniu had already returned with a basket on his back.
Shu Yu glanced at the things in the basket and asked Daniu to put them in the backyard.
Then, the family locked the door and left.
The courtyard they lived in was in Liufang Alley, not far from the shop. The group of people pulled the mule carriage and walked straight over.
When she passed by Meng Yunzheng’s courtyard, Shu Yu stopped for a moment. Seeing that the courtyard door was locked, she immediately retracted her gaze and continued to walk forward.
With the silver, the old lady felt more confident. She saw that there were three houses in the courtyard and did not feel that it was a waste. Instead, she nodded in satisfaction and said, “This house is good. The location is not bad and it’s quiet. When the time comes, no one will disturb your mother and the Daya when they are making clothes here.”
The others had also seen it inside and out, and the more they looked, the more they liked it.
The old lady couldn’t stay idle and immediately picked up a broom and rag to tidy up.
Shu Yu said, “Grandma, you guys rest first. I still have to go out for a while.”
Madam Ruan and the others were stunned. “It’s already quite late. It’s time for dinner. Why are you still going out?”
Shu Yu winked at them. “Because the God of Fortune came to our house today, and we’ll have silver in a while.. How can we miss it?”
