Chapter 238 - 238: Doll



Lu Erbai instantly felt the pressure on him increase.

Madam Ruan listened to Shu Yu’s explanation and looked at Daya. She quickly returned the silver that the old lady had given her.

However, Shu Yu didn’t accept it. “Mother and eldest sister can take it first. You can’t have no money in your hands, right? Just treat it as an advance payment.

It’s the same if I record it in the account book.”

Shu Yu did not take back the ten taels of silver that the old lady had given them just now. Naturally, the expenses of the family were also important.

The Lu family held a short meeting to summarize today’s business. Then, they looked at the money they had earned and returned to their rooms to rest excitedly.

Shu Yu was calmer than them. She slept quickly and peacefully.

The next morning, when the Lu family left the house in high spirits, she stretched and got out of bed.

Shu Yu lived in a small room alone. She had a lot of things to do, and sometimes she had to write and draw. It was inconvenient for her to be disturbed, so the Lu family let her live in a room alone.

Therefore, everyone went out, and Shu Yu was not woken up.

She saw the old lady sitting in the courtyard, stuffing shredded cloth when she left the room.

The day before, Daya had sewn a few dolls. The cats and dogs were adorable. It just so happened that the rags that Boss Lue had sent previously had been washed and dried two days ago. After stuffing them, they could be used as pillows.

The old lady turned around when she heard the footsteps. Seeing that Shu Yu had gotten up, she smiled and said, “Go wash your face. There’s warm porridge and biscuits in the kitchen for you.”

“Okay.” Shu Yu strolled into the kitchen.

After a while, she came out with a bowl and sat beside the old lady. “Granny, did Dahu and Sanya go to the shop too?”

“Yeah, I told your father to read more yesterday. Today, your father and Daya and those two boys will go to the shop together.”

Shu Yu nodded. It was a good thing that everyone in the family was motivated.

After she settled Third Young Master Jiang’s matter, she would send Dahu to school.

“Yu, let me tell you something,” The old lady suddenly stopped what she was doing and turned around to speak in a serious tone.

Shu Yu was puzzled. “Go ahead, granny.”

“Look at this doll. I think it’s quite nice. In the morning, I stuffed one. Sanya and Dahu liked it very much. They hugged it again and again and were reluctant to let go. As for Daya, although she didn’t say anything, I could tell that she liked it very much. So I thought it would be empty since there weren’t many clothes in the shop. Why not make more dolls and put them on top? Maybe many people would like them and want to buy them, right?”

Shu Yu smiled and nodded. “Yes.”

Hearing her affirmation, the old lady immediately perked up. “It’s fine as long as you think it’s doable. I’ll go collect more rags later. This shredded cloth was cheap. There was a big basket in the cloth shop for twenty coins. Your mother and Daya don’t have to make this doll. I can do it. It’s quite simple.”

Shu Yu saw she was in high spirits and naturally did not object. “Sure, but will it be difficult for you to cope with all the work?”

“No, no. I can make lesser if I am busy. We’ll just earn some money.”

Shu Yu felt the old lady was the one who lived clear-mindedly. She was considering whether she should buy taels servants at home. Even if the old lady did not make extra dolls to earn extra money, it would be tiring because she was old and still had to manage many things at home..
