Chapter 855: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 855: Sister-in-law Zhou Qiao
Shu Yu nodded, "It's a long story. We can talk about it later. Where is Big Brother?"
Zhou Qiao quickly replied, "He went to the cloth market to purchase goods." She frowned and muttered, "He should have been back by now."
She turned to the two of them and said, "He must have been delayed by something. Please come inside and have a seat. Let me pour you some water. He should be back soon."
Purchase goods?
Shu Yu recalled that earlier, in the courtyard of Liufang Lane, she had indeed seen that there wasn't much fabric left in the tailoring room.
"Since he went to purchase goods, he would bring the fabric directly to Liufang Lane. Sister-in-law, let's close the shop for today and go to the cloth market to meet Big Brother. Then we can go back to Liufang Lane and have dinner. Mother will be delighted to see you."
"Ah? Go to Liufang Lane?" Zhou Qiao suddenly became nervous. As a daughter-in-law of the Lu family, she had met her parents-in-law, Third Uncle, and Fourth Aunt, but she hadn't formally met Second Uncle, and Second Aunt. Now, she would be meeting several elders all at once, and her heart was instantly filled with tension.
Shu Yu had never experienced the situation of meeting the other family's parents after marriage, so she didn't understand Zhou Qiao's feelings and was a bit puzzled by her expression.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing. Just wait for me for a moment while I change my clothes."
Shu Yu nodded, "No rush. I ordered food and drinks at the restaurant up ahead. Sister-in-law, you change first. I don't know if it's ready yet. I'll go ahead and wait for you there."
"Okay."
Zhou Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. When she saw Shu Yu and Da Ya leave the shop, she hurriedly closed the door and went to the backyard to change her clothes.
This prevented the two shopkeepers in the neighboring shop from approaching to inquire.
Shu Yu returned to the restaurant and immediately saw the owner.
The dishes in the restaurant were served quite quickly, and the food box she had ordered was already prepared.
When Shu Yu asked about it, the Shopkeeper looked up from behind the counter and was about to smile and say, "It's ready. The plates for the food are quite large, so I used three food boxes for you..."
But halfway through his sentence, he abruptly stopped, his face filled with shock as he looked at her, then rubbed his eyes.
Confirming that he wasn't mistaken, he took a sharp breath. "Lu Family?"
"You recognize me, Shop manager?"
Of course, he recognized her. The restaurant wasn't far from Yiren Pavilion, and when they first opened, there was an incident that attracted officials. He had heard the commotion and came to see what was happening.
But, but...
"You've returned?"
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "Yes, just returned. Since I didn't have time to cook, I came to your restaurant to buy some food and drinks. These three food boxes, right?"
The owner quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes. I heard from the assistant that you have a mule cart. I'll have someone bring it to your cart."
"Thank you."
"No, no need." The Shopkeeper hurriedly instructed the assistant to prepare the food.
He looked at Shu Yu standing at the door, wanting to say something but hesitating. Shu Yu pretended not to notice. If he didn't ask, she couldn't just explain her acquittal for no reason, right?
Even if he did ask, she might not explain it.
While the assistant was placing the food boxes, Shu Yu climbed onto the cart. Coincidentally, Zhou Qiao also arrived.
However, when she arrived, she had changed into a new outfit and was carrying something in her hand.
