Chapter 1603: Dog Bites Dog
Little did he know that the maidservant named Ying Xi took the opportunity to follow him and beat him severely.
Gazing back, Ge Qifei still feels sore all over.
He had heard Ying Xi saying that if he continued to pester Lanhua, his fate would be the same as Zhang Shu's.
Zhang Shu had his tongue cut off, eyes gouged, and went insane, eventually getting beheaded.
Though there's no evidence, Ge Qifei believes it's all orchestrated by...
Chapter 1602: The Rendezvous of Two
Shu Yu, "..."
Wait, this voice seems familiar to her?
She stood aside for a moment and quickly recognized the person standing in front of Xu Cai.
It was a thin young man wearing coarse linen clothes, holding a bunch of wildflowers, with a bright smile on his face, and a somewhat handsome appearance that was quite likable.
However, this was only on the surface.
Meng Han asked in a low voice, "Who is he?"
Shu Y...
Chapter 1601: Shu Yu Doesn't Want Her to Go Back
Shu Yu turned her head in surprise, "You want to go back? Back to Changjin Prefecture?"
Meng Han nodded. She had been out for a long time. Originally, she planned to delay her return, at least until she saw the blooming sunflowers.
Now the sunflowers were in full bloom, truly stunning and breathtaking.
Although Meng Han didn't want to go back, there were no more excuses to stay here. Leaving home was a rash decision,...
Chapter 1600: Let Meng Han Return Home
Lan Hua's voice turned even colder, "You're trying to sow discord between us sisters and still claim to be a good person? I know what kind of person Ah Yu is better than you. Without her, there wouldn't be who I am today. Even if she didn't give such a generous gift, I wouldn't think she did anything wrong."
Over these two years, visible or invisible, Ah Yu had given her so much.
She could do what she liked, receive a monthly salary,...
Chapter 1599: Meng Han Leads Her to Eavesdrop
Shu Yu quickly got up from the dining table following Meng Han's actions and hurriedly walked to the front hall.
"Where are you taking me?" Shu Yu asked when she saw Meng Han slowing down and acting stealthily. She couldn't help but rub her forehead.
Meng Han made a hushing sound, "Sister Shu Yu, someone was badmouthing you, I'll take you to listen."
Shu Yu's mouth twitched, and before she could say anything, Meng Han p...
Chapter 1598: Shu Yu's Wedding Gift
Lan Hua didn't believe what Shu Yu said because Shu Yu had always been generous and never treated people poorly.
She carefully placed the small box on the nearby table and then proceeded to open the large box.
As soon as she opened it slightly, a brilliant light shone out.
Lan Hua couldn't help but hold her breath, and when the box was fully opened, the people around her gasped in amazement.
"It's a complete set of head or...
Chapter 1597: Lan Hua's Wedding Makeup Ceremony
Today, the Lu family was exceptionally lively as Li Shi was determined to make a grand celebration for Lan Hua's marriage. Therefore, on the day of sending the dowry, she invited seven or eight tables of guests.
It was fortunate that the main house of the Lu family had been renovated, and the courtyard was spacious enough; otherwise, they would have to set up the banquet outside.
When Shu Yu got off the carriage and entered ...
Chapter 1596: Sending the Bridal Dowry
Wei Ronghua sent someone to inquire about the shop and indeed received some information. It was said that the shop's event not only resulted in losses but also earned them a lot of complaints. That evening, the shopkeeper was berated by the boss and faced quite a miserable situation.
Shu Yu just smiled when she heard this; after all, organizing an event was not an easy task. Choosing prizes that wouldn't incur losses, were valuable, and sat...
Chapter 1595: Copying Others Without Success
Wei Fangfang returned to Donggu County to pay respects to Hu Geng's mother, as tomorrow would be the anniversary of her passing. Before Hu Geng's mother had passed away, due to Wei Ronghua being too busy, young Wei Fangfang would often eat and sleep at Hu's house.
For Wei Fangfang, who had lost her own mother at a young age, Hu Geng's mother was like a second mother to her. Naturally, she would go and pay her respects on this annivers...
Chapter 1594: Unexpectedly Earning One Hundred Wen
Holding the copper coins in their hands, and hearing the clinking sound, the faces of the children flushed with excitement.
This was one hundred wen, and for them, who were so young, when had they ever earned one hundred wen?
They hadn't even earned ten wen before, so having one hundred wen was like possessing a treasure trove.
Moreover, they were still quite young, with the youngest being only six years old and th...
Chapter 1593: Children's Rewards Shouldn't Be Less
Shu Yu turned her head and waved at them, "You've arrived?"
" Sister Lu Xiangjun." The group of children ran to a spot three steps away from Shu Yu and came to a stop, somewhat shyly greeting her.
They were the ones who helped Shu Yu with the promotion yesterday, vigorously attracting customers in the streets and alleys.
Shu Yu counted them, "Is everyone here? Follow me inside."
The group of children pushed ...
Chapter 1592: Hao Dingshan Returned to the Capital
Through his actions, Xiang Weinan conveyed two messages. First, he wanted to assure the Xiao family that even after Xiao Shi's supposed demise, he still considered them as his parents-in-law, ensuring their safety from the Xiao family's retribution. Second, he seized the opportunity to investigate the situation within the Xiao family.
However, this meant that the Xiao family's cousin would have more opportunities to meet Xiang W...
Chapter 1591: Temptation of Xiang Weinan
Shu Yu didn't need to be too explicit when she spoke; as soon as she opened her mouth, Meng Yunzheng knew what she was referring to. With Ying Xi and Xia Yan guarding outside, this quiet place was suitable for a private conversation.
Having finished eating almost everything, Meng Yunzheng put down his chopsticks and took a few sips of tea before slowly recounting the process.
Listening to his account, Shu Yu couldn't help but be as...
Chapter 1590: Distributing Bonuses
Regarding today's successful opening, Shu Yu was quite satisfied. "You all worked hard and have been busy the whole day. I mentioned earlier that if the sales were good, I would give everyone a bonus. Since everyone is here now, let's distribute the money and make everyone happy. If the sales continue to be good until the end of the month, I'll consider increasing it."
Upon hearing about the bonuses, everyone's eyes lit up. Although they were a...
Chapter 1589: All Prizes at Cost Price
Shu Yu handed over the paper with the final figures. Da Niu was the first to see it and immediately widened his eyes, "So many?"
It's not that he lacks experience; nowadays, he also handles large sums of money.
But it was only the first day, and although there were many customers and business was good until late at night, the event was also quite significant. The first and second prizes alone were not cheap, and there was more than o...
Chapter 1588: Profits or Losses in the End
When Luji was about an hour away from closing, there was another small peak in customers. Many workers on their way home rushed over.
Among them was the person who had been talking to Shu Yu about the banners in the morning. He had said he would come back in the evening, and he actually did.
Coincidentally, he was the one who won the last first prize.
Shu Yu thought he would choose the golden hairpin, but to her surprise, ...
Chapter 1587: Merchants Imitating Each Other
Shu Yu observed the expression of the young woman and smiled faintly. So, the effect of the prizes is indeed astonishing, right?
While others were still participating in the lottery, the young woman bought some sunflower seeds and sent her maid to buy a few kilograms of sunflower oil.
The maid was puzzled but still received two wooden tokens.
The young woman tried her luck two more times, but unfortunately, both times we...
Chapter 1586: Surprisingly Exquisite Double-Sided Embroidery
Little girl Shuang Shuang agreed, and when she unfolded the paper, it indicated that she had won. She was immediately overjoyed, thinking she could finally bring back the flowery doll she had been longing for.
However, upon hearing explanation from behind, she learned that although she had won, the prize was not the flowery doll.
The little girl's emotions instantly crumbled. She had promised her mother not to m...
Chapter 1585: The First Prize for a Doll
The crying sound was heartbreaking and filled with anger, instantly silencing all the excited discussions about which prize to choose. Everyone, including Shu Yu, turned their attention to the little girl who was sobbing.
The child was around four or five years old, standing beside the young woman who won the first prize. She had closed her eyes and tears streamed down her face.
The young woman was startled and quickly squatted dow...
Chapter 1584: The First Prize is Drawn
Ge Dong still had some regrets, but the Attendant Feng next to him was full of envy and resentment. He whispered, "Master, the popularity of the Village Lord's store has nothing to do with Wei Ronghua. I heard that the shop's promotion started twenty days ago, and it was all the idea of the Village Lord. Wei Ronghua just came here to pick up a ready-made opportunity; we don't need to pay attention to him."
Ge Dong took a deep breath and sna...
Chapter 1583: The Regret of Ge Dong
The steward of the Wu family declined the offer. Before the young master left, he had instructed them to focus on building relationships gradually and to be adaptable. Seeing the shop bustling with customers crowded at the entrance, the steward immediately said, "Shopkeeper Wei must be busy today; I won't disturb you any longer. I'll deliver the gift and then head back to Donggu County. Since it's been a while, I'll grant a day off to Hu Geng so you ...
Chapter 1582: Master and Disciple Reunion
Unexpectedly, Shu Yu encountered such a surprise when she saw the man was satisfied with the third prize. She felt relieved and walked over with a smile.
The middle-aged man held rouge and powder in his hand, looking excited and thrilled. Despite the chattering around him, he paid no attention.
Standing by his side, Shu Yu said with a smile, "Congratulations to this guest for winning the third prize and becoming the first lucky wi...
Chapter 1581: Is the third prize going to backfire?
Madam Tan was about to leave, and Shu Yu accompanied her to the carriage. Just as the carriage was about to start, she suddenly stuffed doll inside.
Madam Tan was puzzled, "What are you doing?"
"You said earlier that even if you don't win the first prize, winning the fourth prize would be fine, right? I thought you might like this, so I got it for you. It's not worth much, just take it."
The fourth prize consisted...
Chapter 1580: Meng Yunzheng Comes to Help
Madam Tan had made up her mind. Tonight, she planned to cook the instant noodles and let her husband and son taste it, experiencing the excitement in her heart.
With this thought, she urged Shu Yu to get the prize for her and also take the opportunity to exchange feelings with the wealthy wives she knew.
Shu Yu couldn't help but laugh at this. Since Ying Xi hadn't returned yet, she asked Wei Fangfang to watch over the prize booth ...
Chapter 1579: This Prize Is So Worth It
The woman nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, we can take it back." She and her sister-in-law came out together, and they had to carry it back together.
But the box was so good, and it would be a shame if it got damaged on the way back. They decided to find a cart to transport it back to the village.
Shu Yu had the wooden box brought out and thoughtfully tied it with a cloth rope, giving them a bamboo pole to carry it on their should...
Chapter 1578: Second Prize Winner Announced
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, wondering if another big prize had been drawn. As expected, someone loudly exclaimed, "Second prize, it's the second prize!"
Madam Tan, who was standing nearby, couldn't resist her curiosity and walked over to see what the second prize was.
She was standing at the back, not far away, making it easy for her to see.
At the lottery table now was Wei Fangfang, who came to help.
Wei Fangfang wa...
Chapter 1577: Madam Tan Wants to Give It a Try
Shu Yu's hand paused, and a look of joy flashed in her eyes. She wanted to ask urgently what was going on, what the plan was, and whether Hao Dingshan had returned to capital. But it wasn't the right time with so many guests coming and going outside.
The middle-aged scholar knew what she was thinking and didn't say much. He immediately congratulated loudly after those words.
Shu Yu smiled and thanked him, "Thank you for your ...
Chapter 1576: Can't Stop
The shorter girl didn't hesitate and pointed at the fabric doll, saying, "I want this."
Since the fabric on the table was uncovered, her eyes had been firmly locked onto the doll, unable to look away.
It was just too adorable, shaped like a sunflower.
In the middle of the sunflower, there was a pattern of a little person resembling a sunflower seed, exactly like the child on the easel at the entrance. It seemed as if a little seed child was...
Chapter 1575: Two Types of Fourth Prize
Not to mention, there were some people who didn't lack money and were truly enticed by Wei Ronghua's words, planning to go back and try the sunflower oil.
On the other side, consolation prizes were being given out one after another, and some people who received popcorn in paper bags were reluctant to leave. Some stood at the door eating, attracting more passersby to come in.
A carriage passed by and suddenly stopped. Two young ladie...
Chapter 1574: Consolation Prize Attracts Many Customers
Shu Yu took out a paper bag from the basket; it wasn't large, and the quantity was limited.
In fact, this was just a small snack. Since everyone received a consolation prize, it couldn't be too much, or she would end up losing money.
Although this grand event was meant to boost their reputation, even if they incurred losses, it was still worth it. Profits could be made little by little.
Shu Yu opened the paper...
