Chapter 267 Want to be the Shopkeeper
"In my family, whether it's my older sister or us younger siblings, we're all very filial to our grandmother. My older sister once said that as long as we have something to eat, we won't let our grandmother go hungry. She's done just that all along the way. Whenever we have food, we give it to our grandmother first. Otherwise, if we, her grandchildren, weren't filial, she wouldn't have made it here safely when the family was in trouble and she was sick.
After hearing what Ah Yu said, the old lady couldn't help but think of what happened on the road. Ah Yu was absolutely right. She was still ill when the family incident happened. The family that should have been her responsibility fell on Yue Fuli, her eldest granddaughter.
Not only did she take the punishment on her behalf, she also protected them from harm on the road, even killed those who wanted to harm them, and later did business in partnership with the officials.
To be honest, if it weren't for A-ri, their family would have died long ago.
Thinking about how she got angry with A-Li a few days ago and felt that she was not her granddaughter, the old lady felt extremely guilty.
Just now, she almost believed what Cui said and wanted A Li to hand over the housekeeper power.
She is really blinded by greed.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Cui was not a good person. So, she smiled and said to Old Lady Cui, "Sister Cui, it's getting late. I still have some clothes to wash, so I won't talk to you anymore."
"Sister He, what are you doing?"
"Ah Yu, can you help Grandma see Grandma Cui off?"
"Okay!" Ah Yu nodded, looked at Old Lady Cui with a smile, and said, "Grandma Cui, I'll take you out."
Mrs. Cui was a little reluctant because she hadn't borrowed the money yet. But seeing that the old lady had already gone to wash clothes, she didn't want to bring it up.
Forget it, let’s talk about it another day.
The Yue family has so much money to hire others to work, it would be better to lend them some money to spend.
After sending Old Lady Cui to the door, A Yu did not continue to send her off. Instead, she simply closed the door and went to find Sanniang.
"Third Aunt, thank you. If you hadn't let me go, my grandmother might have been provoked by that old lady."
"You're welcome. Go back to the front yard and study. Otherwise, if Mr. Lu sees that you're not here, he might punish you."
"Got it. I'll be there right away." Ayu nodded and went back to the front yard for class.
When Yue Fuli came back at noon, Sanniang mentioned the matter of Old Lady Cui to her. After thinking about it, Yue Fuli decided to have someone investigate the people in the village.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
She wasn't worried about her younger brothers and sisters, but she was afraid that the old lady would be criticized by others one day and become like a different person.
However, it is not good that the old lady has no money.
Therefore, after lunch, Yue Fuli gave the old lady some small change and said to her, "Grandma, this money is for your self-defense. However, you must keep it safe and don't let anyone cheat you out of it. If your money is cheated away by someone, I will never give you money again."
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. How could I let someone trick me into taking my money?"
The old lady took the money and found a place to hide it. Although the money was not much, she was still very happy.
From now on, if she wants to buy something, she won’t have to ask Yue Fuli for money.
In the afternoon, while Yue Fuli was still clearing the land, Du Ruomei arrived in a carriage. She had already made up her mind and decided to become the shopkeeper.
She prefers being a shopkeeper to teaching people embroidery.
