Chapter 73: Erya is Rich
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Yu had already explained the concept of the ready-to-wear clothing shop to the old lady.
The old lady didn’t really know much about matching, customization or changing makeup and hairstyle according to a person’s skin color, face shape, and figure. All of these sounded very complicated.
However, Erya was someone who had seen the world. She might have learned all this in the prefecture. Erya’s plan was so detailed, so she must be skilled in this.
As such, the old lady didn’t object anymore. After all, she was an old lady. She didn’t have the skills or money. She just had to listen.
After accepting the silver, the old lady started to think about what she wanted to buy. She wanted to buy the most cost-effective ingredients with the least amount of money. She still felt that they didn’t need to treat their relatives to good food. It was good enough to have pickled vegetables. After all, it wasn’t like they didn’t know that their family was poor.
Another day passed, and it was time for Lu Erbai to return home. Early in the morning, Shu Yu left for the county to pick him up.
The old lady and the two children did not go, to prevent from making things troublesome instead. They stayed at home and tidied things up.
On the other hand, when Lu Sanzhu, who lived next door, found out about the matter, he followed Shu Yu eagerly and said that he wanted to help.
Shu Yu still opted to take a carriage at the village entrance. The villagers along the way looked at her curiously. Although Shu Yu had been back for a few days, she had almost never walked around the village. She had stayed cooped up at home, preparing for the opening of her clothing shop.
Still, her name was widely spread in the village, especially the matter of her splitting the old woman of the Ruan family in two with an axe, which was false. It simply shocked all the villagers. Therefore, many were extremely curious about the Lu family’s Erya, but they did not dare to approach the Lu family’s main gate.
It was not until Shu Yu walked to the entrance of the village that the sizing-up gazes dissipated a little.
Today was not a market day, so there were not many people on the carriage. Only she and Lu Sanzhu got on at Shangshi Village.
They arrived at the county slowly. As soon as they got off the ox-cart, Lu Sanzhu said to the old man driving the cart, “Wait for us in the afternoon. We still have to go back. When the time comes…”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Shu Yu, “You don’t have to wait for us. We don’t need the carriage.”
The old man nodded, “Alright.”
Shu Yu walked into the city and Lu Sanzhu followed her hurriedly, “Erya, if we don’t book a seat in advance, he won’t leave a seat for us.’
“I know, but we won’t be taking the ox cart back. My father’s leg was finally cured, and the ox cart is too crowded and bumpy. It’s not appropriate. We’ll go and rent a carriage later.”
She ultimately had to buy a carriage herself. It was too inconvenient without one. It was just that she had to use the money in her hands to open a shop now, so she couldn’t spare any to buy a carriage yet.
Shu Yu sighed as he walked toward the clinic. Lu Sanzhu was stunned for a moment, but he immediately became happy. He knew that there would be benefits to gain if he followed Erya.
When they arrived at the clinic, Doctor Xu was there too. He was re-bandaging Lu Erbai’s wound. When he saw Shu Yu coming over, he instructed her, “Take care of him well when you go back. Don’t apply that messy ointment anymore. Come back and get more when you’re out of medicine. Alright, come with me to get the medicine. You can go back after you’re done.”
Shu Yu nodded and followed him to the front.
She paid the rest of the medical fees and accommodation fees, “Here are eight taels of silver. We have troubled Doctor Xu these few days.”
In addition to the five taels she had paid the first time, she had used thirteen taels in total. However, this did not include the cost of the medicine. She would have to pay for the medicine every time she came to pick it up, and that would cost about seventeen taels in total.
Lu Sanzhu, who was following her, saw her take out eight taels of silver without even blinking. He swallowed hard.
Erya was really rich..
