This way, she could buy some things and bring them back to the village for her son.

Sigh, she's been away for so long, I really don't know how Zhao Yan and his father are doing at home.

They might not even get a hot meal.

Zhao Yan's mother gritted her teeth and decided to splurge, buying Zhao Yan a lot of food in one go. Anyway, she could earn money now, and she couldn't let her son suffer.

Chen was completely stunned by his shopping skills.

Goodness, this is practically a move to bring the whole shop home!

Little Mingzhu was also taken out by Madam Chen to see the world.

In the entire shop, only He Tiantian and her two dogs remained.

She tallied up the shop's accounts for the past two weeks, excluding the money spent on groceries, rice, and flour from the mall, and the commission she received from Manager Guan.

I now have a total of over 2,600 taels of silver. So much silver looks festive.

She thought that once she had earned three thousand taels of silver, she would go and see the mansion.

Buy a house in the city, and it will be convenient for the children in the family to go to school.

The business in the shop was proceeding smoothly. On this day, Liu Chuyu was in the shop keeping accounts with a pencil.

He found himself particularly fond of the pencil; whenever he ran out of it, he could sharpen it with a knife and continue writing.

How amazing! How come Aunt He always comes up with some novel and interesting things?

The desk lamp too, and the toothbrush and toothpaste too...

Liu Chuyu is now so happy he doesn't want to leave. Even if his father were to kneel and beg him to go back, he wouldn't want to go back now.

The bookkeeping counter is at the entrance, and whenever a customer arrives, Liu Chuyu has to call out: "Welcome!"

This was something Aunt He specifically instructed me to do.

Liu Chuyu was keeping her head down and writing down the accounts. When she noticed someone coming in, she didn't even see who it was.

He smiled and called out loudly: "Welcome, guests, come in..."

Magistrate Liu's gaze fell on Liu Chuyu. When Liu Chuyu saw that it was his father, she swallowed the rest of her words.

It was midday, the busiest time for customers, and not everyone in Changning City knew Magistrate Liu.

Moreover, he was not wearing official robes, but rather ordinary clothes.

This was the first time Magistrate Liu had seen another side of his son. He was dressed in coarse cloth, a white handkerchief draped over his small shoulders, and the jade hairpin in his hair was gone, replaced by a chopstick to tie his hair up...

Although it looks a bit shabby, at least it looks like a decent person.

On this point, Magistrate Liu was somewhat satisfied.

Liu Chuyu didn't have such a pleasant expression when he realized it was his father.

He gave his father a wary look and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Are you suggesting we take him back? No way!

Magistrate Liu glared at Liu Chuyu. "You brat, is this how you talk to your father?"

The slight goodwill that Magistrate Liu had just developed has now completely vanished.

With so many people around, he didn't intend to argue with this unfilial son.

Magistrate Liu straightened his clothes and said seriously, "Of course I'm here to eat. Aren't you a waiter in the restaurant? Why don't you lead the way?"
