Chapter 238: Dolls

 Chapter 238: Dolls

Lu Erbai suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Ruan shi listened attentively to Shu Yu's instructions and exchanged a glance with Da Ya. They quickly returned the silver given to them by the old lady. However, Shu Yu confiscated it. "Mother and Elder Sister, you can keep it. You shouldn't be without any silver, right? Consider it an advance on your wages. Let Father record it in the accounts as well." Shu Yu didn't take back the ten taels of silver the old lady had taken out earlier. They naturally needed it for household expenses. The Lu family briefly held a meeting to summarize the day's business and then returned to their rooms with excitement, looking at the silver they had earned. Shu Yu was calmer than all of them and fell asleep quickly, resting peacefully. As a result, the next morning, the Lu family members were all lively and left the house, while Shu Yu lazily stretched and got out of bed. Shu Yu had her own small room because she had many things to do and sometimes needed to write and draw, making it inconvenient to be disturbed. Therefore, the Lu family unanimously decided to let her have her own room. Since everyone had left, Shu Yu wasn't awakened. When she stepped out of her room, she saw the old lady sitting in the courtyard, stuffing scraps of cloth. Da Ya had sewn a few dolls the previous day, and they were especially cute with cats and dogs. It happened that the scraps of cloth given by the Lyu family earlier had been washed and dried in the past two days, and now they were being stuffed to serve as cushions. Hearing footsteps, the old lady turned her head and saw that Shu Yu was awake. She immediately smiled and spoke, "Go wash your face. I have warm porridge and pastries for you in the kitchen." "Okay." Shu Yu leisurely strolled into the kitchen. In no time, she came out with a bowl in hand and sat next to the old lady. "Grandma, did Da Hu and San Ya also go to the shop?" "Yes, I told your father yesterday to focus on learning to read, and today not only your father but also Da Hu and the two little ones went to the shop together. They can learn more while the shop isn't busy." Shu Yu nodded. It was a good thing that everyone in the family had a desire to improve themselves. Once she settled Third Young Master Jiang's matter, she should send Da Hu to school. "Ah Yu, let me tell you something." The old lady suddenly stopped her activity, turned her head, and spoke with a serious tone. Shu Yu was puzzled. "Grandma, what is it?" "Look at this doll, I think it's quite nice. I finished stuffing one this morning, and San Ya and Da Hu absolutely loved it. They hugged and held onto it and didn't want to let go. Even though Da Ya didn't say much, I could tell she liked it too. So, I thought, since there aren't many clothes in the shop, it looks empty. Why not make more dolls to display there? Maybe many people will like them and want to buy them, right?" Shu Yu smiled and nodded. "Yes." Upon hearing her positive response, the old lady immediately became spirited. "If you think it's feasible, then let's do it. I'll go and get more scraps of cloth. These scraps are cheap, you can get a big basket for twenty wen at the cloth store. As for making the dolls, your mother and Da Ya don't have to do it; I can handle it. It's quite simple." Shu Yu saw her enthusiasm and naturally didn't object. "That's fine, but Grandma, won't you be too busy?" "Not at all. If it gets too busy, I'll just make fewer dolls. We'll earn a little extra money, no need to push ourselves." Shu Yu felt that the old lady was truly an astute person. She was considering whether the family should hire a couple of servants. Even if the old lady didn't make extra money by making dolls, she was already managing many things in the house at her age and was indeed very tired.
