The matter was decided just like that. After eating, Daniu didn’t go back to the shop with Shu Yu.

Shu Yu strolled back slowly with Ying Xi, this time taking the main entrance of Fuyuan Street.

As a result, they discovered someone lurking around nearby.

"Why is it Chen Qiu again?" Ying Xi said with a gloomy face, "She’s so persistent, what does she want?"

"Didn’t Wang Yue say it? She’s not over Zhou Tiedong yet."

Ying Xi felt disgusted. "What’s the use of her being hung up on him? Zhou Tiedong won’t pay any attention to her. Miss, it’s not good for her to linger around our shop."

"Indeed, it’s not good, who knows what kind of trouble she could cause. You go talk to the Pan Family and have them keep an eye on Chen Qiu. If she does anything detrimental to Lu’s one day, don’t blame me."

"Got it, Miss."

Ying Xi turned and ran toward Shili Lane.

Shu Yu glanced at Chen Qiu again, pretending not to see her, and calmly returned to the shop.

But Chen Qiu, upon seeing her, shrank back, gritted her teeth, and hid herself even deeper. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Shu Yu chuckled lightly. After waiting at the shop for half an hour, Ying Xi returned.

"Miss, the Pan Family came and took Chen Qiu away. They said they’ll keep an eye on her and ensure she won’t do anything to harm Lu’s in the future."

"Got it."

As for Chen Qiu, after the Pan Family’s previous turmoil, she believed they would learn their lesson and not provoke her again.

For now, she didn’t need to worry about it. Shu Yu began calculating how much merchandise to transport again from Dongan Province this time.

She had discussed with Jiang Fengshou that they could organize another event during the Dragon Boat Festival.

However, by then Shu Yu should have returned home, so the event would be fully managed by Jiang Fengshou, and she only needed to see the results.

There were only two months left until the Dragon Boat Festival, so she estimated that this batch of goods should be reserved for it.

She wrote and calculated, and before she knew it, it was time for the shop to close.

Jiang Fengshou greeted her and left, but after a short while, he returned with his wife.

Shu Yu, "..." There really was no need to be in such a hurry.

Jiang Fengshou, with a familiar chuckle, said, "Boss, look, this is my wife, Ah Lan."

Shu Yu sized up Ah Lan for a moment. The woman was somewhat introverted, with delicate skin. Based on her attire and calloused hands, she was someone used to hard work.

She nodded and asked a few questions. Although Ah Lan wasn’t as quick-witted as Jiang Fengshou, she was indeed as honest and straightforward as he had said, answering whatever was asked.

"Alright, come over tomorrow and try working for a few days. If you do well, you can stay."

"Thank you, boss, thank you, boss."

The couple left satisfied, and the next day, Madam Xue officially started her job.

Jiang Fengshou’s explanation to his family was that the county magistrate needed someone to help with laundry and cooking, so Ah Lan was temporarily sent to assist. Although the Jiang Family felt a lack of labor at home, since it was to earn money, they reluctantly agreed.

On the third day after Madam Xue’s arrival, Daniu and Dazhuang set off on their journey home.

Shu Yu saw them out of the city, not expecting that upon her return, she would encounter a surprising visitor at the shop.

Jiang Fengshou said, "Young Master Gan has been here for half an hour. It seems he has something to discuss with you. From the looks of it, he seems very happy, so it might be something good."
