Chapter 1573: Consolation Prize
Ignoring the discussions among the others, Shu Yu addressed the middle-aged man, "Congratulations on winning the prize. Please follow our staff to collect your reward."
The first customer, beaming with joy, took a couple of steps but suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked about the reward for the fifth prize. He hurriedly inquired, "What's the prize?"
Shu Yu smiled and walked over to the table where the prizes were placed, which were cove...

Chapter 1572: First One Wins Fifth Prize
Wei Ronghua smiled, "Sure, please wait a moment, sir."
He called out to Ren Yiping, "Take this customer inside to weigh the melon seeds. He's our shop's first customer on the opening day, so when we settle the accounts, give him a discount and add an extra handful."
This first customer was a middle-aged man, and upon hearing this, his eyes lit up.
The other customers, who were initially waiting for someone else to try first,...

The child's eyes darted around as he grinned, "Why don't you go and see for yourselves? Fengtao Lane is nearby, it won't take much effort to go there, and the things you buy won't be expensive. Take a trip, you won't lose anything, and who knows, there might be some unexpected surprises."
The child was really skilled in speaking, and everyone couldn't resist his words.

After everything was ready, Shu Yu checked the time and it was almost Mao hour (5-7 a.m.). Though it was still early, the streets were already bustling with people.
Many passersby were curious about the vertical propaganda posters, which were undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
Some even asked who drew the cute cartoon characters on the posters and if they could get one drawn for them.
Smiling, Shu Yu explained and also introduced ...

Although he left early, Store on the other side of the prefectural city opened even earlier.
Just as the day was breaking, the wooden boards of the store were lifted, and the eight open rooms' main gate was opened, attracting curious passersby.
With few people around, Shu Yu walked out of the main gate, took a deep breath of fresh and cool air, and instant...

To confirm the situation, Hao Dingshan decided to head to Liufang Lane to further validate things. He and another person went straight to the lane without waiting for Zhao Xi and Xia Yan to come out.
When they reached the entrance of the lane, they indeed saw a horse parked outside the Meng family's door. It was not an ordinary horse, clearly indicating that someone important was visiting the Meng family.

Chapter 1564: Meng Yunzheng Takes Action!
After discussing with his family, Da Zhuang decided that his parents would live with his younger brother, Da Qiang, from now on.
Da Qiang worked in the village, cultivating sunflowers, while Da Zhuang worked outside, often traveling around, making it difficult for him to take care of the family.
He didn't return home often, and staying at the workshop was more convenient for him, so it made sense for him to buy a house here.

"Sorry, I arrived late."
Xiao Shi shook her head. "I know you did it to avoid drawing attention."
They sat down on the side, and Xiao Shi said, "These past few days, I had people keeping an eye on the surroundings but didn't find anyone suspicious. It seems you were right; Hao Dingshan indeed...
