Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio     Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

On the scroll was a painting of an eagle spreading its wings. A vivid eagle with sharp eyes stared straight at whoever looked at the painting like the onlooker was its prey. It instantly made those who looked at the painting shudder.

Behind the eagle was a mountain range hidden in the clouds. On the nearest mountain, a waterfall cascaded down from the peak, and water splashed in all directions. It was a majestic sight.

Shu Yu looked at the painting and could seemingly hear the eagle’s sharp cry ringing in her ears. The entire painting was filled with a majestic aura.

Shu Yu… liked it very much.

In contrast, the old lady said hesitantly, “The painting looks good, but isn’t it too sharp?”

She looked around at the shop, “It’s not suitable to be hung in the shop.”

Indeed, their shop was a ready-to-wear clothes shop, and the customers were all women. If the painting in the scroll was a landscape painting or a painting of a beautiful lady, it would naturally fit the atmosphere. This eagle was obviously not suitable.

Shu Yu rolled up the eagle painting, “It’s okay. I’ll keep this painting first. We won’t hang it up.”

Shu Yu was quite satisfied after opening all the gifts. After all, even Boss Lue, who came to find trouble, had given them a real gift.

She distributed the dried fruits, pastries, and fresh fruits that Doctor Xu had sent over and gave them to Lu Dasong and Lu Sanzhu to bring back to the children at home.

Seeing that it was getting late, the other two families reluctantly went back under the urging of the old lady.

Although there were no customers today, Shu Yu was not anxious at all. Her calmness also infected the rest of the Lu family.

However, when the shop opened the next day and there were still no customers after half a day had passed, the old lady and the others finally became anxious.

This was especially so when, during their outing in the afternoon, they heard many shopkeepers on Ningshui Street talking about them as if their shop would close down in a few days.

Seeing the old lady getting anxious, Shu Yu said, “Grandma, I’m going back to the village. Go back with me.”

“Hmm?” The old lady was stunned. Why did she suddenly want to return to Shangshi Village?

Shu Yu smiled and said, “Have you forgotten? Village Chief Fan and many uncles helped with Zhang Shu’s matter last time. We were busy earlier and didn’t have time to thank them. Now that the shop is open and we have some spare money, we should at least buy something to thank them.”

The old lady slapped her forehead, “Yes, yes, yes. Oh gosh, my memory. I almost forgot. Alright, let’s go back now.”

Lu Erbai was left to be temporarily in charge of the shop. Madam Ruan and Daya made clothes in the backyard, while Dahu and Sanya squatted and wrote on the ground with tree branches.

Although Dahu had not found a school to study, Shu Yu had taught him a few words. He now planned to learn the names of his family members first.

Shu Yu prepared the mule carriage and helped the old lady into the carriage.

The mule carriage drove all the way to an old pastry shop on Ningshui Street. Unexpectedly, just as it was about to stop, the old lady said, “Lees not buy pastries.”

Shu Yu said, “These pastries are good. As a thank you gift, it can also show our gratitude.”

The old lady shook her head, “You don’t understand. The pastries are good and it’s indeed quite dignifying to give them out as gifts, but you don’t know the families in the village. Lees not talk about others. Just take Village Chief Fan’s family as an example. His wife dotes on the sons very much and treats the girls like grass. If we send pastries over, they would either give them all to the boys or hide them to eat secretly..”
