Chapter 188 Your stingy mother
Sanya was stunned for a moment, then shook her head rapidly, "I don't want it, I have one."
Shu Yu also said, "Eating too many hawthorns is bad for your stomach. One bunch is enough. Dad, you can keep them for yourself."
Hearing that it was bad for his health, Lu Erbai didn't insist anymore. He just patted his youngest daughter's head, looked at her happy face, and smiled slightly.
Shu Yu bought a lot of things on her way back; having money in her hands made it hard for her to control her shopping desires.
Lu Erbai tried to persuade her several times, but he couldn't convince her otherwise.
Fortunately, the things she bought weren't expensive; they were just some snacks, clearly meant for everyone to eat back with.
When the mule cart stopped in front of their house in Liufang Lane, the old lady and the others had already bought groceries and cooked dinner, and were just waiting for them to come back.
Sanya took another string of candied hawthorns from Lu Erbai and ran inside after getting off the bus, saying, "Brother, brother, here's something delicious for you."
Da Hu was sweeping the floor with a broom when he heard the sound and suddenly looked up. Then a string of bright red candied hawthorns was shoved right in front of him.
Da Hu was stunned and looked at San Ya opposite him.
The latter tilted her head, eating her own skewer while handing the other one forward, "Here you go, my second sister bought it. We all got one, it's delicious."
Big Tiger's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it.
The brother and sister smiled at each other, laughing as they faced each other, biting into candied hawthorns.
Shu Yu couldn't help but chuckle. Children's world is indeed easily satisfied; having a string of candied hawthorns is like having everything.
Shu Yu distributed the remaining candied hawthorns, and Da Niu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "I got some too?"
Da Niu isn't going back today either, to avoid having to rush over tomorrow, which would be too much trouble.
However, he won't be staying here tonight; he'll go to sleep at the shop after dinner.
These days he's been busy running around doing chores. Shu Yu's point is that even though he's her cousin, she can't let him work for nothing; she should at least pay him some wages.
The old lady agreed with her idea, but Da Niu disagreed.
The old lady smacked him a few times. "You're getting married at the end of the year. With your mother being so stingy, if you don't save some money, what will your wife do when she wants to buy something to eat or use?"
Da Niu immediately thought of Da Ya's situation and shook his head, "Of course not."
The old lady slapped a string of copper coins into his hand, making his palm red. "Since you don't know how, you have to plan for yourself. After you get married, you and your wife will have your own little family. You're a man, you have to provide your wife with support. Money is the most practical thing, do you understand?"
Da Niu understood, so after hesitating for a moment, he still accepted the string of copper coins.
The old lady was finally satisfied. "At least our Lu family's eldest grandson wasn't raised by your mother to be a blindly filial blockhead."
The woman was referring to his mother, so Da Niu could only chuckle awkwardly and didn't say anything more in response.
The old lady then urged him to go back to his shop to sleep.
After Da Niu left, Shu Yu took out the money from selling the scar removal cream formula.
"Perfect timing. Let's check the accounts before we open tomorrow, so we'll have a better understanding of how much money we make later."
Looking at the silver notes on the table, both the old lady and Madam Ruan felt as if their worldviews had been shattered.
Ayu went out and earned another 150 taels of silver.
Is it really because they haven't seen enough of the world that they don't know there are so many rich people nowadays?
