Chapter 157 Lucky Cat
Shu Yu looked up at the entrance of the county government office again, then picked up her basket and walked away.
The magistrate of Jiangyuan County has been arrested, and it is unknown who the new magistrate is.
Hopefully, he will be an easy-going and people-oriented official.
As Shu Yu pondered this, she walked to the shop entrance. When Engineer Zheng saw that she had brought a cat back, he was quite surprised. "Why are you thinking of getting a cat? If you're going to get one, get a bigger one. This one is so small, it can't even catch a mouse."
In most people's eyes, keeping a cat is for catching mice, and keeping a dog is for guarding the house.
We're all ordinary people; who would keep cats and dogs as pets? Only wealthy ladies would have nothing better to do than tease cats and dogs.
Clearly, the Lu family was not a wealthy family.
Shu Yu smiled and said, "Good things happen to me whenever I encounter Zhaocai. It's my lucky star. Whether it can catch mice or not doesn't matter. What matters is that it's now the shop's prized cat."
Well, from now on this cat will be called the Lucky Cat, hoping it will bring us good fortune.
Engineer Zheng laughed heartily, “The shop’s prized cat. Boss, don’t blame me for not warning you, this shop sells ready-made clothes. If you keep a cat in the shop, its claws might accidentally tear your clothes, and then you’ll be crying.”
Shu Yu, "..."
Oh no, she had completely forgotten about it.
Shu Yu lowered her head and stared at Zhao Cai.
Zhao Cai's eyes were wet, looking like she was about to be abandoned again.
Shu Yu gave up, "I'll think of another way." She couldn't possibly abandon it to live as a stray cat again.
After exchanging a few words with Engineer Zheng, Shu Yu took the basket and went to the backyard.
By evening, Zheng had finished his work and went home. "We'll come back tomorrow to check again, see where it needs fixing, and then tidy it up a bit."
Shu Yu stood at the shop entrance and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Engineer Zheng."
"What's so hard about this?" Engineer Zheng was actually quite happy. He didn't get many jobs, and the repair of Shu Yu's shop was already considered a pretty big order.
Moreover, during the past few days while they were working, several people came to look around and inquire about the shop.
Shu Yu told him to speak frankly, so Engineer Zheng didn't hide anything.
However, while asking questions, those people also watched Zheng Gong work. Seeing that he was meticulous, communicated smoothly, and did his work quickly and well, they immediately discussed two business deals.
This is an unexpected and wonderful thing for Engineer Zheng.
So Engineer Zheng was very grateful to Shu Yu. "Then I'll be going now. Remember to lock the door and don't open it unnecessarily."
"Okay." After watching Engineer Zheng leave, Shu Yu locked the door and went to have dinner.
Shu Yu was already very familiar with this area. There were no ordinary eateries, but there were several restaurants.
She ate a little something and then walked a bit further away.
When she returned, she found two people standing at the shop entrance.
Shu Yu squinted. The two people looked like a master and a servant, looking up at her shop with furrowed brows.
Shu Yu stepped forward, about to ask a question, when she heard the maid say, "Miss, this shop isn't even open yet, there's not even a signboard. Did you come to the wrong place?"
"No. 78 Ningshui Street, that's right."
The maid checked the address and confirmed it was correct. "But I just asked the shop next door, and the shopkeeper said it's a clothing shop, and it's under renovation these days. It doesn't match what's written on the paper at all; it's a lie."
