With the Jiang family’s matter resolved, Shu Yu’s entire body relaxed.
She planned to go back and change her clothes before going to the shop to take a look.
Who knew that she would see two familiar figures sitting on the steps at the door of her house from afar. Both of them were sweating profusely and looked listless. They were talking with their heads half-lowered and did not even notice Shu Yu walking over.
Shu Yu only heard their conversation when she was closer.
“I told you to go to the ready-to-wear clothes shop, but you insisted on coming here,” Madam Liang complained.
Lu Sanzhu was also a little frustrated. “Why would we go to the ready-to-wear clothes shop? It’s not like you don’t know that the ready-to-wear clothes shop has no business. If we go over, what if my mother is in a bad mood and chases us out?”
“It’s not our fault that their business is not good. Why would we get chased out?’
“My mother is just that unreasonable. What if she gets annoyed when she sees me and thinks that I’ve gotten unlucky?”
Shu Yu covered her forehead. Lu Sanzhu was slandering the old lady.
However, Lu Sanzhu was getting a little excited. “I said back then that Yu knows how to make delicious popcorn and potato chips and would definitely get good business by setting up a stall on the street. Yet, she insisted on opening a ready-to-wear clothes shop. See, there’s no business at all. I feel so bitter. I was still counting on Yu to bring me success and let me lead a good life. In the end, it looks like it’s already good enough that she didn’t lose everything.
Madam Liang nodded in agreement. “If you ask me, Yu may be smart and good at dealing with people, but she doesn’t have business acumen. She probably has poorer business sense than me.”
“That’s right.” As Lu Sanzhu spoke, he wiped the sweat off his forehead in frustration. “It’s noon now. Where do you think my mother and the others went? They couldn’t have all gone to the shop, right? There’s no business in the shop. Wouldn’t it make the atmosphere worse if the whole family crowded there?”
The two deep sighs made Shu Yu want to roll her eyes.
What were the couple there for?
Just as Shu Yu was about to call out to them, she saw Madam Liang take out two biscuits from her bag and give one to Lu Sanzhu. “If you’re hungry, munch on this first.”
Shu Yu was shocked. Did they have a fever? They actually brought their own refreshments over instead of intending to freeload.
Seeing that Lu Sanzhu was about to choke after taking a bite of the dry biscuit, Shu Yu asked, “Isn’t it inappropriate for you to sit in front of someone else’s house and gossip?
Lu Sanzhu and Madam Liang were stunned and turned their heads to look at the newcomer.
Lu Sanzhu quickly swallowed the biscuit. He was so excited that his face turned red.
Madam Liang put down the things in her arms and immediately stood up. She said happily, “Yu, you’re finally back. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Shu Yu chuckled. She didn’t believe that they had waited for a long time.
The sun was scorching outside, and it was uncomfortable to stand at the door in the middle of the day.
Shu Yu quickly opened the courtyard door with the key and welcomed the two of them in.
As soon as Lu Sanzhu entered the room, he rushed to the living room. He finally felt comfortable after drinking a cup of water.
Burping and looking at Shu Yu with a smile, Lu Sanzhu asked, “Yu, where did you all go? The house was empty.”
Shu Yu also took two sips of water. “I was wondering, why did you come to the county town today?”
Just the day before, the old lady mentioned that she was going back to the village to ask Madam Liang to make a doll..
