Chapter 889 Manager Qiu's Unease
Fortunately, the person has now appeared, and the guy breathed a sigh of relief.
The shopkeeper told him to go to the front to get busy, and went into the backyard to talk to Shu Yu.
Seeing that Shu Yu was calm and collected and hadn't run away, he figured he hadn't escaped from exile. He wanted to find out what had happened and ask what exactly had occurred.
However, Shu Yu got straight to the point, saying, "Shopkeeper, you should have the contract ready by now. Let's hurry up, it's getting late, and I have things to do back home."
As she spoke, she took out a silver ingot. "I heard from my brother that there are still two months' worth of accounts that haven't been settled, right? You can check the accounts and tell me the amounts."
Seeing this, Manager Qiu didn't say anything else and went to get the contract and account book.
Both sides have reached an agreement, and the action was quite swift.
The settlement amount quoted by Manager Qiu was the same as that quoted by Da Niu, so Shu Yu stopped arguing, paid the money, signed the contract, and left.
The shopkeeper stood at the entrance of the cloth shop, frowning as he watched them leave.
There was no one in the shop at the moment, so the shop assistant quietly walked up behind him. "Shopkeeper, what's wrong? Didn't you feel relieved after the contract was dissolved? You don't seem very happy."
The shopkeeper rubbed his temples. "I have a feeling of unease, though I don't know why. Besides, since Lu Shuyu dares to appear so openly in Jiangyuan County, she must have no criminal record, and she also has the connection with the county magistrate..."
He sighed halfway through his sentence, shook his head, and turned back behind the counter.
Shu Yu, feeling relaxed, walked towards Ning Shui Street with Da Niu. When they arrived at Yi Ren Ge, Shu Yu checked the inventory.
There are still quite a few finished garments left, plus the fabric we received yesterday, so maintaining the shop's operation should be no problem for the time being.
Once she has found a suitable house and finalized the renovation plan by tomorrow, and then buys the estate, she can go to the prefectural city to find another suitable source of goods.
Shu Yu's plan was perfect, but little did she know that the clothes in the shop would be sold out the very next day.
After saying goodbye to Da Niu Zhou Qiao, she went straight back to Liu Fang Lane.
She didn't even need to look for it; she could tell which family's newly rented courtyard was just by seeing the mule cart parked in Liufang Lane.
However, the old lady still had the children wait at the door. As soon as they saw her, Sanya stood up, grabbed Xiaozhen with one hand and Baoya with the other, and ran towards her.
"Second sister, you're back."
Shu Yu smiled and stepped forward, "Is our newly rented courtyard here?"
“Yes, it’s bigger than the old one.” Sanya led her by the hand into the yard.
Everyone in the courtyard was busy. Because there were so many people, and because Ah Xiang and her daughter had come to help tidy up after the house was rented, the courtyard was almost ready by now.
Then the old lady ruthlessly chased everyone away, saying, "Alright, it's getting late, go home early, it's not safe to be out so late. Take that mule cart outside and return it tomorrow."
Lu Sanzhu looked indignant. They, oh no, his wife, had been busy for so long, and his mother wouldn't even let them stay for dinner.
Honestly, they have no sense of social etiquette at all.
However, he dared not complain in front of Shu Yu and could only leave with his wife and children.
Unexpectedly, Madam Liang walked towards the mule cart in the courtyard and then laboriously carried several bags out of the cart.
