Chapter 263 And the wages...

Shu Yu got up and went out. She had just reached the kitchen door when she saw that the courtyard gate had been opened.

The old lady and Daya returned carrying food boxes, both looking very happy, as if they had encountered some joyous occasion.

Upon seeing Shuyu, Daya quickened her pace and excitedly said to her, "Shuyu, we have business again! Just now, Grandma and I went to deliver food and happened to meet several people who wanted to buy that doll. But we didn't have any left, so they agreed to postpone it for a day and come back to buy it tomorrow. Grandma and I discussed that we should work a little harder today and get those dolls out first."

Fortunately, she washed some of the scraps of cloth early this morning, and since the sun was strong, they should be almost dry by evening.

As she spoke, Daya went to check the scraps of cloth drying on the stretcher, which were indeed half-dry.

She turned to Shuyu and said, "Shuyu, tell us a few more nice patterns, we..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Lu Sanzhu and Madam Liang come out of the kitchen.

Daya was stunned for a moment, "Third Uncle and Third Aunt? When did you arrive?"

"We arrived early this morning." Lu Sanzhu ran up to the old lady with a fawning smile. "Mom's back? Are you tired? Come, come, let me pour you a glass of water. You can sit inside for a bit."

The old lady looked at him in horror. What was wrong with her third son?

She looked at Shu Yu suspiciously, but the latter shrugged.

Liang had already run over and started massaging the old lady's back.

However, she was the type to keep things bottled up, and after pounding the ground a couple of times, she started asking, "Mom, I heard from Ayu that there's an easy job with good pay that I can do, right? I don't know what kind of job it is, Mom, don't worry, I'll definitely do it well."

The old lady suddenly realized what she meant and said, "Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft."

But these two arrived at just the right time; they were in a rush to finish their work, so they could pull the person along to work together.

So the old lady didn't make things difficult for her. She just nodded and said, "There is indeed a job for you, but let me make this clear: if you don't do it well, I'll ask the eldest daughter-in-law. There are definitely many people vying to do this kind of job."

Liang immediately sat up straight and nodded obediently, "I understand, I understand, I will definitely do my job well, and as for the wages..."

The old lady's eyelids twitched. This troublesome child, how could he be so stupid, only eyeing that little bit of money?

She turned to Daya and said, "Bring over the doll you made this morning. Perfect timing, since Third Brother's wife is here, we can get started on our work right away."

Liang blinked, and Daya brought over the sewn doll cover.

Liang looked at it from left to right and actually found it quite beautiful.

"Mom, is this what we're going to make?"

“Yes, come closer, I’ll explain the process to you in detail.” The old lady was quite assertive, and not only did Liang Shi move closer, but Lu Sanzhu also curiously pricked up his ears and moved over.

Actually, making rag dolls isn't difficult. It's just a matter of sewing and mending. Except for someone like Shu Yu who really has no talent, most people can make them.

The only difficult part is making the doll cute and endearing.

Liang was actually quite clever; after watching for a few moments, she easily got the hang of it.

The old lady immediately let her try sewing, and after a while she nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, then you can stay here and do it this afternoon."
