Chapter 73 Er Ya is really rich
The old lady had already heard about the clothing shop from Shuyu.
She didn't really understand things like matching, customization, or changing makeup and hairstyles according to a person's skin tone, face shape, and body shape. These things sounded very complicated.
However, Er Ya is a worldly person, and these things might be available in the prefectural city. Er Ya's plan is so detailed, she must know a lot about them.
The old lady didn't object anymore. After all, she was an old woman with no skills and no money, so she just listened.
After accepting the piece of silver, the old lady started thinking about what to buy, trying to get the most cost-effective ingredients for the least amount of money. She still felt that her family didn't need to eat too well; having some pickled vegetables would be good enough. They knew they were poor.
The day after that was the day Lu Erbai was to return home. Early in the morning, Shu Yu set off for the county town to pick him up.
The old lady and the two little ones didn't go, to avoid causing trouble; they just tidied up at home.
When Lu Sanzhu from next door found out, he eagerly followed Shu Yu, saying he wanted to help.
Shu Yu boarded the bus at the village entrance again, and the villagers she met along the way stared at her curiously. It was true that although Shu Yu had been back for a few days, she had hardly walked around the village, spending most of her time at home preparing for her plan to open a clothing shop.
But her name was widely known throughout the village, especially the story of how she chopped the old woman of the Ruan family in two with an axe (not really), which shocked the entire family. So many people were extremely curious about Lu Erya, but dared not approach the Lu family's gate.
The scrutinizing gazes only subsided slightly when Shu Yu reached the village entrance.
Today wasn't market day, so there weren't many people taking the bus; it was just her and Lu Sanzhu in Shangshi Village.
They arrived in the county town slowly. As soon as they got off the oxcart, Lu Sanzhu said to the old man driving it, "Wait for us this afternoon, we still have to go back, and then..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shu Yu interrupted him, "Don't wait for us, we don't need a car."
The old man nodded. "Understood."
Shu Yu headed into the city, and Lu Sanzhu hurriedly followed, saying, "Er Ya, if we don't agree on this beforehand, he won't reserve a seat for us on the oxcart."
“I know, but we won’t take the oxcart back. My dad’s leg has finally been healed, and the oxcart is crowded and bumpy, so it’s not suitable. We’ll rent a mule cart in a bit.”
She still needs to buy one; it's too inconvenient. However, she needs to use the money to open a shop, so she doesn't have the funds to buy a car right now.
Shu Yu walked towards the clinic while sighing. Lu Sanzhu was stunned for a moment, then immediately became happy. He knew that following Er Ya would bring him good fortune.
When they arrived at the clinic, Dr. Xu was there, re-bandaging Lu Erbai. Seeing Shu Yu arrive, he instructed her, "Take good care of yourself when you get back. Don't use those random ointments anymore. If you run out of medicine, come and get some more. Okay, come with me to get the medicine, and then you can go back."
Shu Yu nodded and followed them to the front desk.
She paid the remaining consultation and accommodation fees, saying, "Here is eight taels of silver. Thank you for your help, Dr. Xu, these past few days."
Including the initial five taels, the total cost was thirteen taels. However, this does not include the cost of subsequent medicines. Each subsequent trip to collect the medicine will incur a separate payment, bringing the total cost to approximately seventeen taels.
Lu Sanzhu, who was following behind, swallowed hard when he saw her take out eight taels of silver without blinking.
Er Ya is really rich.
