Chapter 250 The Good News Brought by the Old Lady

Good news??

Seeing the old lady's expression, Shu Yu raised an eyebrow and asked with amusement, "What good news has made you so excited?"

“Those are the dolls you asked me to make.” The old lady pulled her to sit down in the main room, glanced at a box on the table, but didn’t pay much attention to it. She just said, “Didn’t I pack all those dolls up and air them out at home? Then when Daya came back, I asked her to take them to the shop for me.”

"There were seven dolls in total, and you told me to keep two for Sanya and the others. Sanya was overjoyed when she got them, and she didn't care about the hot weather. She sat at the shop entrance with the cute dog doll in her arms, enjoying the breeze, with a lucky cat perched at her feet. Two children passing by saw this and were extremely envious. They ran over and asked Sanya for them."

"Sanya was so scared that she ran back to the shop. When the two children chased after her, they found that there were several more dolls in our shop. Not to mention the tiger and monkey, one of the children took a fancy to a pig and almost climbed up the counter to get it. I was so scared that I broke out in a sweat."

Fortunately, both children were accompanied by maids who quickly stopped them. Then, one of the maids ran to the jewelry store next door and called over the children's mother, who was buying jewelry.

The two children insisted on buying it. The dolls weren't expensive; even the most complicated one was only two hundred coins, which wasn't even enough for them to go out to a restaurant and order two dishes.

Moreover, the fabric patched on the doll was leftover from the Ruan family's garment-making business, and it was all high-quality material. It felt wonderful to the touch and was very comfortable to hold.

The two ladies immediately bought the dolls. Not only did they buy two, but they also said that they had several children at home who would definitely want them too, so they bought all the dolls in the shop.

They were disappointed to learn that there were only seven dolls in total.

The old lady could immediately tell from their eyes that they liked it too and wanted it.

Finally, even the doll that Sanya was holding was given up.

The seven dolls cost a total of one tael and ten coins. Seeing that they had bought them all at once, the old lady reluctantly rounded it down to one tael.

This amount of money is not much compared to the price of those ready-made clothes, but it is still an ounce of silver.

For farmers like them who stay in the village year-round and barely earn any money, this sum of money is considerable.

“Ayu, I think these dolls are popular with boys, girls, and even older people like us. Lots of people will definitely buy them. We don't need to go out of our way to make money from them; we can use the leftover fabric from your mother's daily sewing. We can collect scraps from various shops, make one, and put it in the shop. What do you think?”

"I think it's great."

"Really?" The old lady was full of enthusiasm; the joy of being affirmed almost made her unable to resist taking immediate action.

Seeing how happy she was, Shu Yu immediately nodded heavily, "Then I'll leave this entirely to you, Grandma."

"Um..." The old lady hesitated for a moment, but quickly put that hesitation aside. "No problem, leave it to me, I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly."

Hmm, it seems I really have to go after the third son's wife.
