Just like that, Dahu’s studies were settled. After the store was opened for business, they would find a suitable school for him.
The next day, the whole family woke up early, put on new clothes, and headed to Ningshui Street.
There were already a few shops on Ningshui Street that were open early in the morning. When Shu Yu reached the shop, Daniu happened to be opening the door.
The old lady had gone to get the auspicious time previously, and 8 a.m. was the auspicious time to open for business.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaniu spread out the firecrackers and prepared snacks.
The shopkeepers of the shops next door all looked over. Most of the surrounding businesses were not optimistic about the news of the Lu family opening a ready-to-wear clothes shop.
This was especially when they had come over yesterday and found that there were only a few pieces of clothes. Although the shop was decorated in a and comfortable way, so what? A shop that sold clothes but didn’t even have many items was useless.
They asked around and found out that the Lu family came from a small remote village. They had no experience in doing business before, nor did they have any backing. In fact, they had been a family that could not even solve the problem of their livelihood half a month ago.
As a result, the shopkeepers of the various shops were speechless. They did not think that the Lu family’s shop could last long.
Of course, although they didn’t think much of the Lu family, peace was always the most important thing in business. As such, the few shops nearby still wrapped up two bags of sweets and sent them over as a congratulatory gift.
Lu Dasong and Lu Sanzhu arrived when it was almost seven in the morning.
The moment Lu Sanzhu arrived, he complained to Shu Yu in dissatisfaction, “I was going to help yesterday, but the old lady stopped me, saying that the car can’t fit all of us. Wouldn’t it be fine if Daniu didn’t come then? I’m trying to show my mum filial piety as a son, but to think she’s unwilling.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old lady pinched his ear, “It’s a big day. Don’t cause trouble.”
Lu Sanzhu cried out, “Mom, I don’t dare to do it anymore. I really don’t!”
The old lady snorted and asked him, ‘Where are Dabao and Baoya?”
“I was afraid that there would be too many people and I couldn’t take care of them, so I sent them to their grandmother’s house.”
Lu Sanzhu and his wife came, and so did Lu Dasong and his wife.
Madam Li had wanted to bring Erniu and Lanhua over and see if they could take advantage of anything, but Lu Dasong did not agree, so she had no choice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZhang Shu’s words last time had affected the couple. Recently, Lu Dasong did not listen to her ideas much. He was afraid that others would say that he did not have a mind of his own and that his wife was the one who made the decisions in the house.
Madam Li did not dare to provoke him at this juncture, so she could only follow Lu Dasong over unwillingly.
This was the first time Madam Li had come to the shop. She had originally thought that it was just a small shop with a few pieces of cloth. She did not expect that the shop was on Ningshui Street.
Moreover… It was so beautiful.
Madam Li felt sour. Her second brother-in-law’s family had really struck it rich. Why wasn’t her daughter the one who was taken away back then? This way, when her daughter came back after more than ten years, she would also have a shop that looked very wealthy.
Madam Li looked around and asked in surprise, “Second sister-in-law, do you only have these few clothes? What kind of business are you doing? Can you make money?”
This was the first time she saw someone who dared to open a shop with just a few pieces of clothing.
Madam Ruan was not good with words and just smiled, “I’ll make more later.”
“How many can you make in a day? Why don’t I help you? I can make clothes too.”
Of course, she would have to demand a salary..
