Chapter 888 I thought she had escaped

As Shu Yu spoke, she turned to the old lady and said, "Grandma, you go back first. I'll come back after I finish things here. It'll be quick."

The old lady was a little worried, "Are you sure you'll be alright by yourself?"

Da Niu got off another mule cart. "I'll go with A Yu."

"Okay, we'll wait for you at home."

The old lady glared at the waiter, lowered the carriage curtain, and let Lu Erbai set off.

Once the two mule carts had driven off, Shu Yu turned to look at the man and said, "Let's go."

The waiter watched her retreating figure with a gloomy expression. Only after she had walked far away did he quickly chase after her.

The cloth shop wasn't far from here, otherwise the shop assistant wouldn't have spotted them so quickly.

There were still customers in the cloth shop. When Shu Yu entered, the shopkeeper looked up and still had a smiling expression. "Boss Lu is here. Please come in."

He came out from behind the counter and ushered the person into the backyard.

Taking a few steps back, I asked the guy, "Where did you find the person?"

"I didn't look for them. I just saw them on the other side of the street when I saw the guests off. They looked like they had just come back from outside the city, with two mule carts."

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes. "She's back from outside the city. It seems she went back to the village."

The waiter frowned. "So, they really didn't escape?"

It's no wonder he thought that way. After agreeing to dissolve the contract yesterday, they had been waiting in the shop all day.

After waiting and waiting without seeing anyone, the shop assistant went to the clothing store to look for the person when there were few customers in the shop.

However, the clothing store remained closed and never opened.

The shopkeeper quickly asked the merchants next door, and two of them said that after Lu Dongjia came back to find Da Niu yesterday, he closed the shop and hadn't seen him since.

Little did these shopkeepers know that Da Niu and Zhou Qiao had eaten in Liufang Lane, and by the time they returned it was too late; the shops had already closed. The next morning, Da Niu and his companion got up early and left Ningshui Street before the shops even opened.

When the shop assistant heard that the shop had been closed since yesterday evening, he became anxious.

Could it be that the landlord really did escape from exile and has now fled again with his family?

He shared his idea with the shopkeeper, who thought it unlikely. It would be one thing if the Lu family head himself were a fugitive, but there was no reason for the eldest branch of the Lu family, who were living comfortably here, to also become a fugitive. Wasn't that just wishful thinking?

The shopkeeper then sent his assistant to the garment factory in Liufang Lane to find Ah Xiang and her daughter, as they usually transported their goods directly there. He didn't know where Lu Shuyu was living now, but the garment factory was definitely a must-go.

So the shop assistant hurriedly ran to the garment room, but unfortunately, Ah Xiang and her daughter had just gone there to buy things.

The second branch of the Lu family returned, and Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi helped them find a house in Liufang Lane, which they settled on quickly.

The newly rented house was missing a lot of things, and since the Lu family wasn't home, they asked Ah Xiang and her daughter to help them buy them.

Therefore, when the shop assistants went to Liufang Lane, the door to the garment shop was locked tight.

When one or two of them are not around, the guy will panic, won't he?

You should know that the Lu family's clothing store settles accounts with their cloth shop every three months. The last settlement was two months ago. In the past two months, the Lu family has also received three more shipments, but they haven't been paid yet.

If everyone escapes, who will they ask for the money?

The waiter was extremely anxious, and the shopkeeper was also somewhat uneasy.
