After Shu Yu paid, she turned to Lu Sanzhu and said, “Third uncle, help me get the medicine. I’ll go to the streets and rent a carriage. “Alright, alright, alright. You can go. Leave it to me.”
The way he said it made her feel uneasy instead.
Shu Yu told Lu Erbai and Madam Ruan where she was going and left.
This time, besides renting a carriage, she mainly wanted to understand the price of renting a shop lot in the county.
Shu Yu wanted to buy a shop, but she didn’t have enough money. Even if she could buy a shop in a remote location, she wouldn’t have enough money for the rest of the renovation and other things.
It seemed that she could only rent a lot for now.
Shu Yu walked slowly along the street. Her customer target group was women, those who were slightly well off at that.
She had looked around. There weren’t many ready-to-wear clothing shops here, and not many bought ready-to-wear clothes these days either. The rich had their own embroiderers and servants, while the poor would just make some clothes off a piece of cloth. In contrast, there were many cloth shops on the street.
Shu Yu searched all the way and found that there were very few shops for rent, especially on the street she had her eyes on. There were only two small lots in very inconspicuous locations.
In the end, Shu Yu still went to a middleman and asked them to help keep an eye out. She stated her requirements and said that she would come back in two days. She didn’t seem to be in a hurry, but she actually didn’t have much time.
After this matter was settled, Shu Yu went to buy some things. Dahu and Sanya’s shoes were badly damaged and their toes were poking out. They could save on other things, but they couldn’t save on this.
After buying the shoes, Shu Yu went to pick out two pieces of cloth. She wanted to see if Madam Ruan could try and make the clothes she wanted.
She also bought some other miscellaneous items.
By the time she was carrying a pile of things, she finally went to rent a carriage. There was no need to find someone else. The coachman she had rented last time was not bad, so she still went to him.
By the time everything was done, it was already past noon.
Looking at Shu Yu, who came back with so many things, Madam Ruan looked helpless.
Lu Erbai sighed as well, “Don’t waste your money. Our family doesn’t have money, so we’re not in a hurry to buy those things. You take good care of yourself, and we will be very happy.”
“I know, I won’t waste money in the future,”
Even though Shu Yu was saying that, she would still spend when she wanted to.
Shu Yu handed the things in her hands to Madam Ruan, then helped her father to the door with the envious Lu Sanzhu.
The carriage was parked outside. Shu Yu got in first, then bent down to help Lu Erbai.
Unexpectedly, Lu Erbai’s hand suddenly stopped halfway.
Shu Yu found it strange, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
This was the first time that Shu Yu had called him “dad”, and she had done so very naturally. Madam Ruan, who was standing behind, was so excited that she almost dropped the things.
However, the person in question, Lu Erbai, was completely focused on the situation before him. He did not hear what Shu Yu said at all.
He pointed to the front and asked, “Er… Erya, look at that person. Is he the doctor? ”
“That doctor?” Shu Yu turned her head and followed his line of sight.
In the next moment, her expression changed and she quickly turned her head back.
She thought that since she hardly stepped out of the Shu family’s residence, not many would know her, let alone in the remote Jiangyuan County.
Who knew that she would meet someone who just happened to know her identity?
It was the traveling doctor who had given her and Lu Erbai emergency treatment at Dongqing Temple!
