Over the next two days, business proceeded steadily, with both retail and wholesale showing strong momentum.
Old Master Chu began inviting guests into the hall, not only because he had become wealthy, but also because he had found his daughter and gained a granddaughter who was also a little strategist.
I have to show it off properly.
Qiao Yunni is beautiful and well-mannered, while Qiao Lian'er is exquisite and intelligent, drawing constant praise from everyone.
The Chu family elders were in high spirits, smiling from ear to ear all day long.
The more pain you suffered before, the happier you are now.
But it was time to part ways.
The day before, Old Madam Chu took the nannies and maids of the mansion on a shopping spree, buying all the local specialties, whether food or household items, that were not available in Qingshui Town.
If it weren't for the fact that there was only one carriage and it was too small to fit everything, Old Madam Chu would have insisted on buying up all the money she had earned.
The carriage was loaded with heavy goods, and the mother and daughter reluctantly bid farewell to the Chu family elders.
I spent almost ten days here, and every day was precious.
"Take care, come again, come again." Even though they had just parted, Old Master Chu was already thinking about their next meeting.
He did have that selfish thought; how wonderful it would be if the mother and daughter could stay in the Chu family forever. But he knew he couldn't be selfish.
"You must keep your eyes open and your ears open, and not miss the slightest sound. Make sure to take my daughter and granddaughter home safely."
Old Madam Chu gave instructions to the ten guards who had come with her.
These days, the guards have been kept in a nice inn by Qiao Lian'er, where they are served meat, vegetables, and wine every day, which has deeply moved them.
As pawns, they had never enjoyed such good treatment before, so naturally they were more willing to work hard.
They answered in unison, "Yes."
The carriage went further and further away until it disappeared from sight, but the two elders of the Chu family were still gazing intently from the doorway.
Old Madam Chu took two steps forward.
"Madam, they'll be back next month. Maybe we'll see Lian'er again in a few days," Old Master Chu comforted her.
With tears in her eyes, Old Madam Chu said, "This time, their visit not only kept us company, but also brought prosperity to the Chu family and made our home lively. We are clearly indebted to them and should make it up to them, but they have given us so much in return."
Although Lian'er said that family members didn't need to be so polite, she still felt a little guilty.
Grandpa Chu was also filled with emotion, saying that God had treated them too badly in the past, but now He was being too good to them.
The journey was smooth and unobstructed.
From the classroom window, Song Ruier caught a glimpse of the Qiao family's carriage entering the town. She told her teacher she needed to go to the outhouse, and then ran out onto the main street.
He'd been feeling uneasy these past few days, worried that Qiao Yunni and her daughter might say something to the Chu family that would ruin his plans.
He had made long-term plans, plans that would affect his entire life.
So he waited at the spot where the carriage was bound to pass, and spoke when the carriage had passed by him.
"Mother, sister, you've had a lot of fun these past few days."
Hearing Qiao Lian'er call her "Mother," Qiao Yunni felt filled with happiness and sweetness. But when she heard Song Rui'er call her "Mother," she knew something bad was about to happen, and she felt uneasy all over.
She was completely disillusioned with Song Ruier and had no desire to answer her.
Qiao Lian'er understood Song Rui'er's thoughts and stopped the carriage.
"Of course I'm happy. How could I not be happy when I go to my maternal grandparents' house?"
