Chapter 96: Assignment of Tasks


    Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Lu Dasong simply couldn’tprehend it. Even if they wanted to start a small business, shouldn’t they start with something that costs less, like setting up a stall or being a peddler selling some trinkets?


    To think they straight away rented a shop in the county. The initial investment was too big. If they lost money, then all the money would be gone.


    Lu Dasong wanted to persuade them, “Second brother, it’s not that easy to open a shop and do business. You have to consider it carefully.”


    However, Lu Erbai smiled, “I know. Don’t worry, big brother. Erya has good skills.”


    He asked, “What skill?”


    “Stylist.”


    Lu Dasong’s eyes widened, “What?”


    He had never heard of it.


    Shu Yu really didn’t know how to exin, so she could only say to him, “Uncle, I’ve already rented the shop and paid the rent. It’s impossible to terminate the rent now. As for how to make money, you will understand after the shop is opened.”


    Lu Dasong still felt that it sounded unreliable, but the olddy patted him, “That’s enough. If Erya says there’s no problem, then there’s no problem. You haven’t even been out of the county before, and you’re not as knowledgeable as Erya. What do you know?”


    Lu Dasong was speechless. His heart was pricked.


    He waved his hand, “Forget it, forget it. Since you’re already at this stage, just… Just try it then. If you need any help, let me know.”


    The olddy snorted, “What’s the point of telling you? Your wife is not willing to help anyway.”


    Embarrassed, Lu Dasong stood up and said, “Ahem, I’m going to third brother’s house to see the mule carriage too.”


    In fact, he had been itching to do so. Other than Madam Li, who had gone to wash clothes by the river, all the children had gone to his third brother’s house. Even though Daniu and Lanhua were there too, he was still worried and had to go keep an eye.


    After saying that, he left, giving them some space to discuss.


    Only then did Shu Yu say to the olddy and the others, “I’ve rented a shop for two taels of silver a month. It’s on Ningshui Street. I’ve paid the rent for half a year.”


    “Ningshui Street?” Lu Erbai frowned, “The rent on Ningshui Street isn’t that cheap. Erya, is there something wrong with the shop?”


    “There’s no problem,” Shu Yu didn’t hide it from them and told them that the shop was a token of Lord Yu’s kindness.


    When the olddy heard this, she snorted coldly, “Then even those two taels of silver are too much. If he didn’t want a pair of twins, the olddy of the Ruan family wouldn’t have such bad thoughts. Fortunately, Erya was here. Otherwise, I would have hung myself at the Yu family’s door.”


    Lu Erbai hurriedly said, “Mum, don’t spout nonsense.”


    Shu Yu grabbed the olddy’s hand, “The rent is a little cheap, so let’s not tell anyone to avoid trouble.”


    “We understand.”


    “The next step is to clean up the shop. I’ve already asked Butler Yu to help move the extra cabs. I’ll find a craftsman to change theyout, and we can open for business after that.”


    Then, Shu Yu turned to Madam Ruan, “Mum, you’re going to be busy from now on.”


    Madam Ruan couldn’t wait, “Erya, tell me what I should do. I can definitely do it well.”


    “I drew a few sketches of clothes. Although its a little rough, it’ll more or less work. Mum, make some small samples ording to the sketches I give you. If there’s no problem, we’ll make adult sizes. As for the exact measurements…


    Base it on my measurements, then.”


    Madam Ruan was slightly excited, “Okay, tell me the details. I can’t help much with other matters, but it’s definitely not a problem for me to make clothes. I can start today..”
