Chapter 291: Still Protecting Bo'er
"The money used to purchase the embroidery shop can be recorded in the account, but how do you plan to run the business after you buy it? Do you intend to be the shop owner yourself?"
Tu Subo is highly skilled in spear and stick dancing, but can he also handle the delicate embroidery needle with ease?
"I really don't understand the ins and outs of this. How can I be the helmsman of an embroidery shop?"
Tu Subo placed the carefully deboned, white fish meat in Gu Yuexuan's bowl and said calmly, "This idea wasn't impulsive. I've discussed it thoroughly with my grandfather. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Second Aunt with her care and attention regarding the future operation of the embroidery shop."
Yu had never expected that the problem that had been bothering her could be solved so easily. She stood there in a daze, speechless for a moment.
The old grandfather then spoke up, "Taking over an embroidery shop is indeed a bit sudden, but with Min Fei's mother in charge, I don't expect anything too awful."
During their conversation, the grandfather and grandson finalized the important matter of Yu taking over the embroidery shop.
Xi Lanfang was not in a position to refute his grandfather's opinion, but he could not help but cast a reproachful look at Tu Subo: "What nonsense!"
"How can your second aunt directly get involved in the business of the embroidery shop?"
Tu Subo said confidently, "If Second Aunt doesn't come out to take charge, Xuanxuan and I will probably find it difficult to support the operation of the embroidery shop. Wouldn't this investment be wasted?"
"you……"
Xi Lanfang imagined the scene of the clumsy Gu Yuexuan holding the needle as if dancing with a sword, and then looked at Tu Subo who seemed to be unable to distinguish the tip of the needle from the tail, and couldn't help but sigh.
"If your second aunt were to take care of these matters, it would definitely lead to gossip. How could you, a child, embarrass others like this?"
As a married woman, even if Tu Suye is now like a deceased person, taking this step will inevitably lead to criticism.
Xi Lanfang was not jealous of her second brother's wife who was about to become the owner of the embroidery shop. She simply felt that Tu Subo was creating problems for Yu.
It's really outrageous.
Gu Yuexuan had already received hints from Tu Subo and her grandfather, so she lowered her head and ate in silence.
After Xi Lanfang had naggled and scolded Tu Subo for his rash behavior, he calmly touched Yu's arm.
Yu seemed to be awakened from her deep thoughts. Holding the rice bowl in both hands, she blurted out subconsciously: "I don't think it's difficult at all, and I'm not afraid of other people's gossip."
Xi Lanfang just thought that she came out to smooth things over out of sympathy and didn't want to see Tu Subo being blamed, so the look she cast on Tu Subo's face was filled with a bit more blame.
It's really too much.
Tu Suting sensed a clue from the conversation between his grandfather and Tu Subo, but he always knew his limits. Even if he sensed something in his heart, he would never directly undermine or expose it.
Besides, deep down he thought there was nothing wrong with this.
His second brother was simply a hopeless person, left to fend for himself, and no one cared about that useless guy's every move.
However, Tu Su Minfei and Tu Su Minyang are both very outstanding children, and their father has completely become a pillar that cannot be supported and cannot support the roof of the second house.
If their mother could stand up at this critical moment, that would naturally be what he wanted.
Thinking of this, Tu Suting smiled and picked up a piece of delicious meat from Li's bowl, saying carefreely, "Oh, sister-in-law, why do you blame Tu Subo?"
"Since my second sister-in-law doesn't find it difficult, then the family can give her more support in the future, and there won't be any major chaos."
"Besides, the matter is done, and it's a foregone conclusion. There's no point in saying anything more. It's better to save some energy and discuss how to revitalize this new embroidery shop so as not to let down Tu Subo's efforts."
Li originally planned to persuade Tu Subo to give up, but when she heard what her husband said, she was stunned.
It seems that she and Xi Lanfang are the only ones who feel something is wrong?
So what position should she take?
Although some people felt that it was inappropriate, Tu Suting's words hit the nail on the head. Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more.
After dinner, Tu Subo was sent by Xi Lanfang to wash the dishes. Xi Lanfang and Li took Yu, who was entrusted with an important task, and walked under the grape trellis to start a small secret meeting.
Hearing the deep concerns they expressed about her, Yu responded sincerely and earnestly, "Sister-in-law, I really don't feel any embarrassment. I'm very happy to do this."
Her inner enthusiasm is beyond words!
Xi Lanfang sighed repeatedly, "It's all because of Bo'er being too presumptuous. If Second Uncle were to find out about this, I'm afraid he'd have to argue with you."
Tu Suye has always been very concerned about his reputation, and even felt that it was a shame for Yu to make a living by embroidering at home in exchange for a meager salary. If he knew about this, the situation would probably become even more difficult to handle.
After hearing this, Yu smiled contemptuously: "What qualifications does he have to argue with me? I'm not afraid of him causing trouble at all."
She had been through many battles and had fought more than once. If a fight really broke out, the worst that could happen was that she would swing the bench or the stick and fight again.
Even if you are covered in bruises, you must try your best.
Xi Lanfang and Li smiled at each other, secretly delighted: "You have come to terms with it."
"What's there for me to worry about?"
Yu sighed self-deprecatingly, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I've experienced life and death before. On that cold winter night, if Xuanxuan hadn't risked her life to rescue me from the frozen river, the grass on my grave would have been knee-high. What else do I have to fear?"
"I'm not afraid of gossip or public criticism. The only thing I fear is wasting my life and achieving nothing. In the future, when Minfei and Minyang talk about me as their mother, they only remember the endless arguments and fights I had with their father. That would be truly futile."
"It was actually me who brought up the matter of the embroidery shop. Tu Subo and Xuan Xuan were just..."
"Hey, it's already this time, why are you still defending Bo'er so much?"
Xi Lanfang had a look of doubt on her face, and all she wanted was to teach Tu Subo a lesson.
Li looked around, as if he had noticed something, but after thinking for a while, he finally chose to remain silent.
never mind.
Since Yu doesn't care about the rumors spread outside, that's good too.
Even if the embroidery shop is not doing well and loses everything, it would be a good option for us to go home and farm together and brew fine wine.
Moreover, it is not certain that there will be losses.
The matter of taking over the embroidery shop, with Tu Subo as the only sacrifice, was tightly grasped by Xi Lanfang and scolded for a whole night before the matter was settled.
Gu Yuexuan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. When Tu Subo walked in, his face expressionless and dazed, she was greeted by her eyes, sparkling in the night.
Gu Yuexuan's eyes showed sympathy, and her tone was full of pity: "Have you been blamed by your mother-in-law until now?"
Tu Subo rubbed his cheeks and said in a low and dull voice: "I didn't really blame you."
Just kept nagging, never stopping.
Xi Lanfang's character has become more resilient now. She no longer cries easily when faced with something, and she's much more talkative than before. Once she grabs Tu Subo and starts scolding him, she seems unable to stop. If she weren't worried about Gu Yuexuan worrying about it, she probably wouldn't have let Tu Subo come back.
