Perhaps she needs to take a break. If something like this happens again, even if the shopkeeper doesn't say anything, she won't have the face to come back.
When Gan Tao came out after changing her clothes, the house was empty.
It's a busy time right now, and the shopkeeper can't possibly wait here forever; he's probably already gone to work ahead.
