Chapter 185 The whole family was stunned
The old lady looked suspicious and walked behind the counter before she saw Daya mysteriously open her tightly clenched right hand.
Ruan Shi and Lu Erbai were also drawn to the scene and looked over curiously.
The next moment, the three of them saw the two silver notes lying in her hand. As soon as the silver notes were unfolded, the three of them gasped sharply.
So much money?!
Daya took a deep breath and then recounted the whole story of what happened after she went to the Ding residence that day. "...You didn't see Ayu's technique. It was amazing. The Ding family was stunned. This fifty taels was given by Miss Ding, and ten taels was given by Madam Ding. In just a short while, it amounted to a full sixty taels."
The three elderly women couldn't help but swallow hard; they hadn't expected this at all.
The group all looked up at Shu Yu, who was talking to San Ya. Feeling the intense gazes, she looked up and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." It's just that I feel I should worship Ayu's hands from now on.
Shu Yu felt a strange unease in their gazes. She gave a dry laugh and said to them, "I see the shop is all set up and there's nothing else to do. Why don't we go check out the rented courtyard? We'll stay in the county town tonight so we can come over early tomorrow. By the way, where's Brother Da Niu?"
The old lady hurriedly said, "Da Niu went to buy firecrackers. Isn't it opening tomorrow? We should set off a couple of strings to let others know."
Upon hearing this, the old lady suddenly felt that setting off just two strings of firecrackers was a bit too quiet.
The main reason was that we didn't have much money, so we only hung up couplets and two strings of firecrackers, but now...
Looking at the sixty taels of silver in Daya's hand, the Lu family fell into deep thought.
The old lady asked, "Ayu, shall we hire a dragon and lion dance to liven things up?"
"No need, let's just set off firecrackers and buy some nuts and snacks. If we encounter anyone coming to watch the fun, we can share the joy."
The old lady thought that she only had a few pieces of clothing in her shop, and making such a big deal out of it was indeed quite embarrassing.
"Okay, let's do it this way. Once Da Niu comes back, we'll go to the small courtyard to tidy up and come over early tomorrow to open for business."
No sooner had the old lady finished speaking than Da Niu returned with his basket on his back.
Shu Yu glanced at the contents of the basket and had Da Niu put it in the backyard.
The family then locked the door and left.
The courtyard where they stayed was in Liufang Lane, not far from the shop, and the group led the mule cart directly there.
When Shu Yu passed Meng Yunzheng's courtyard, she paused for a moment. Seeing that the gate was locked, she immediately looked away and continued walking forward.
With the money in hand, the old lady felt more confident. Looking at the three rooms in the courtyard, she didn't think it was a waste. Instead, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "This house is good, the location is also good, and it's quiet. When your mother and Daya make clothes here, no one will disturb them."
Everyone else has also looked at it inside and out, and the more they look at it, the more they like it.
The old lady couldn't stay still, so she immediately picked up a broom and rag and started cleaning.
Shu Yu said, "Grandma, you guys rest for a while, I have to go out for a bit."
Ruan and the others were taken aback. "It's getting late, it's almost dinner time, why are you going out?"
Shu Yu winked at them, "Because the God of Wealth is visiting our house today, and we'll be making money again soon. How can we miss this opportunity?"
