Chapter 750: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 750: Reporting Joy, Not Worry
The success of the shop was largely due to Miss Ding's makeup skills. If Da Ya were still there, it wouldn't be a problem since her skills had matured.
However, Da Ya had left, and Ruan Shi had joined Linzhang Prefecture, leaving only Aunt Xiang and her daughter in the shop. Fortunately, Aunt Xiang was skilled in tailoring, so Yiren Pavilion had become a pure ready-to-wear shop. They no longer focused solely on the ladies of wealthy households; they also catered to ordinary people's clothing needs.
This arrangement was beneficial since Yiren Pavilion had already established a good reputation. Combined with its location on Ning Shui Street, a bustling thoroughfare, the business could be maintained steadily.
Even if they didn't make big profits, they wouldn't incur losses either. So, Shu Yu wasn't worried about the shop.
Da Niu then mentioned the sunflower situation. It seemed that the seeds he had planted either didn't fare well in the colder climate of Jiangyuan County or were of poor quality. Although they sprouted initially, they had now withered. Da Niu had to replant them, but since he didn't have many seeds, he couldn't afford to waste them by experimenting too much.
He went on to mention other matters at home, such as Cui Hua being pregnant again, more suitors approaching Lan Hua because of Da Niu's position as the shopkeeper, but Li Shi hadn't made a choice yet. Furthermore, Da Bao and Da Hu had both started studying, and despite Li Shi's reluctance, she finally allowed Er Niu to attend a private school in town.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Lu scoffed, "Consider her somewhat sensible for sending her children to school."
With Da Niu managing the shop and receiving a salary, the burden on the family had significantly reduced. By tightening their belts, they could still manage to send Er Niu to a private school.
Da Niu's letter spanned two pages, mostly discussing the family's situation, which was generally positive. He was the type of person who only reported good news and kept the worries to himself. In the end, he inquired about the well-being of Old Madam Lu and the rest of the Lu family, expressing his wishes for everyone's good health.
The next letter was written by Yuan Shanchuan. His letter was more concise, appearing as if someone else had written half of it while he wrote the other half.
He mentioned that everything was fine at home, and he had stabilized his work. Thanks to Shu Yu's connections, the county magistrate also took care of him. Si Xing, who was taking care of the household, had become more reliable now that she had adjusted to her responsibilities.
Yuan Shanchuan's letter was similar to Da Niu's, discussing the family's situation but not dwelling on any negative aspects to avoid worrying them.
After reading their letters, Shu Yu picked up the seven or eight pages written by Da Bao.
Ignoring the meaningless ramblings at the beginning, he did mention quite a few important matters.
Da Bao wrote about things that Da Niu and Yuan Shanchuan didn't want to mention. Unlike them, Lu Sanzhu and Liang Shi didn't hesitate to fully inform them about the matters concerning the main branch and Fourth Sister.
Shu Yu sat up straight when she saw that Da Niu's marriage was mentioned in the letter.
"Da Bao said that when Da Niu got married, the Yuan family even went to Uncle's house to cause trouble."
"The Yuan family??" Old Madam Lu exclaimed in anger. "Those shameless old coots, still trying to meddle even after severing ties!"
Shu Yu chuckled. "There's nothing we can do. Fourth Uncle and fourth Aunt have moved to the county town, but they didn't tell anyone where they were staying, not even the Yuan family. The Yuan family is unwilling to accept this and wants to find fourth Uncle, but they can't. So, they took the opportunity of Da Niu's wedding to look for them. After all, fourth Uncle would definitely be there."
The Old woman was furious. "Even though they cut off contact, they still had the audacity to go there?!"
Shu Yu nodded. "Yes, they did. But it seems they weren't able to achieve their goal. Fourth Uncle and fourth Aunt are clever and won't allow themselves to be found so easily."
Old Madam Lu snorted. "Those two old fools! They must be regretting their decision now. Let them wallow in their regrets!"
Shu Yu continued reading the rest of Da Bao's letters, which included more details about the family's situation and various other events.
