Zhao Xi has already partnered with Dr. Xu to open a clinic, but Shu Yu was not present at the opening ceremony.

However, when the old lady went to Chenggu County last time, she told her that the clinic's publicity efforts were quite extensive. Firstly, Zhao Xi's reputation had quietly spread over the past two years, especially among wealthy families, who all knew of his superb medical skills.

When Old Zhao took A Ning to detoxify the eldest son of the Tan family, his identity was exposed. Old Master Tan had many friends, and many people asked him about the whereabouts of the famous doctor he had found. Old Master Tan pointed to Zhao Xi from Jiangyuan County.

Therefore, not only wealthy families in the county town, but also many people in the prefectural city sought his medical treatment.

Secondly, there's Dr. Xu's network of connections. Although he has an eccentric temper, he is quite capable.

Therefore, the clinic was very popular on its opening day and has now developed steadily.

There's also Old Zhao. Last year, in order to cooperate with the emperor's act, Meng Yunzheng made Hao Dingshan, who came to inquire about the abbot of Dongqing Temple, mistakenly believe that the emperor was seriously ill, so he specially sent Old Zhao away from Jiangyuan County.

Now that the dust has settled, with the Xiao family members either beheaded or arrested, Old Zhao has naturally returned.

After returning, he and A Ning stayed temporarily at Zhao Xi's clinic to help out. Although he wasn't a regular doctor, many people sought his medical help.

Now, everyone in the Lu family is doing something, and they are all successful and thriving, which makes the old lady very gratified.

She took Shuyu's hand and said, "They know you're home, so they must be rushing back. Go back inside and rest for a while; you must be tired after traveling such a long way."

Shu Yu wasn't particularly tired, but after she and the old lady returned to the backyard, she felt like something was off.

After thinking for a while, it suddenly dawned on him that it was normal for the other members of the Lu family to be absent because they were all busy with other things.

But where is Auntie? Now that she's back, she should be with the old lady.

Shu Yu asked, "Why haven't I seen Auntie?"

"She's at home."

My own home?

The old lady said, "I wanted her to live here, but she's not a single sister like she was before she got married anymore, so she'd definitely feel uncomfortable living here."

Of course, if her sister were alone, she would have to drag her to live with her even if she had to.

But now that she has acknowledged Yuan Gui, with a dutiful grandson and family, the old lady naturally won't force him.

"When she was in Chenggu County, didn't she receive 600 taels of compensation from Chen Bing? With money in hand, she bought a small two-courtyard house in Liufang Lane."

Shu Yu asked in surprise, "You bought a house in Liufang Lane?"

"Yes, we know that place well. The neighbors are all very kind, and it's convenient to go anywhere. Also, the garment factory is there. Your great-aunt isn't good at much else, but she's very skilled at making clothes. And she's always busy, so she went to work at the garment factory."

However, Granny Fang's situation is different from Aunt Xiang's. Aunt Xiang is employed by Yiren Pavilion, and her wages consist of a basic salary and a commission for each piece of clothing.

Grandma Fang is getting on in years, and both the old lady and Yuan Gui are worried about her getting tired. They don't really approve of her going to the garment workshop every single day without fail, let alone the idea of ​​her working at all.

The old lady actually wanted to work with Grandma Fang on making dolls. Although the pay wasn't high, the work would be easier and less tiring.
