Chapter 185: Shocking the Entire Family

Chapter 185: Shocking the Entire Family The old lady looked puzzled as she walked behind the counter, finally seeing Da Ya open her tightly clenched right hand mysteriously. Ruan Shi and Lu Erbai were also drawn to look over, curious. In the next moment, the three of them saw the two silver bills lying in her hand. As the silver bills unfolded, the three of them took a sharp intake of breath. So much money?? Da Ya took a deep breath and then recounted the events of her visit to the Ding Family's residence today, "None of you saw Ah Yu's skills; they were incredible. The fifty taels were given by Miss Ding, and the ten taels were given by Madam Ding. Just like that, a total of sixty taels." The old lady and the other two couldn't help but gulp. They hadn't expected this. The group of them simultaneously looked up at Shu Yu, who was currently talking with San Ya. Sensing the intense gaze, she raised her head in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?" "Oh, nothing." We just feel that Ah Yu's talent will have to be supported in the future. Shu Yu inexplicably felt a sense of unease from their gaze. She forced a smile and said to the group, "I've already seen that the shop has been tidied up, and there's nothing else to do. Why don't we go and see the rented small courtyard? We'll stay in the county tonight and come early tomorrow morning. By the way, why didn't I see Brother Da Niu?" The old lady hurriedly said, "Da Niu went to buy firecrackers. Isn't the grand opening tomorrow? We need to set off a few to let people know." Upon hearing this, the old lady suddenly felt that setting off just a couple of firecrackers might be too dull. Mostly because earlier they had considered the lack of money and hung up the couplet and bought just two strings of firecrackers, but now... Looking at the sixty taels of silver in Da Ya's hand, the Lu family fell into contemplation. The old lady asked, "Ah Yu, should we invite a dragon dance or lion dance for some liveliness?" "No need, let's just set off firecrackers and buy some nuts as snacks. When visitors come to watch the celebration, we can share the joy with them." The old lady considered the fact that they only had a few clothes in their store. Making it too grand would indeed be awkward. "Alright then, let's do that. When Da Niu comes back, we'll clean up the courtyard and come early tomorrow for the grand opening." Just as the old lady finished speaking, Da Niu had already returned with a bamboo basket on his back. Shu Yu glanced at the contents of the basket and had Da Niu put it in the backyard. Then the family locked up the store and left. They lived in a courtyard located on Liufang Lane, not very far from the shop. The group of people walked there directly, leading a mule cart. When they passed by the outside of Meng Yunzheng's courtyard, Shu Yu paused for a moment. Seeing that the courtyard gate was locked, she immediately averted her gaze and continued walking forward. With the silver, the old lady felt more confident. Looking at the three rooms in the courtyard, she didn't feel it was a waste at all. On the contrary, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "This house is good, the location is also nice, and it's peaceful. When your mother and elder sister make clothes here, no one will disturb them." Everyone else had also looked around inside and outside the courtyard, and the more they looked, the more they liked it. The old lady couldn't sit still and immediately picked up a broom and cloth to start cleaning. Shu Yu said, "Nai (affectionate term for grandmother), you all take a break. I still need to go out for a bit." Ruan Shi and the others were taken aback. "It's quite late already, and it's almost time for dinner. Why are you going out?" Shu Yu blinked at them and said, "Because the God of Wealth visited our home today, and we'll be receiving more silver soon. How can I miss that?" (End of this chapter)
