Fully Leveled Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Your Dad Knows a Friend Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Your Dad Knows a Friend Madam Ruan served her a bowl of soup and handed it to her, replying, “Your father went out of town and won’t be back until tonight.”

“Out of town? What did he go out of town for?” Shu Yu asked with curiosity.

Madam Ruan explained with a smile, “Well, he recently made a friend who saw the children’s cart your father made for someone. He was very interested and came looking for him. Your father hit it off with him right away. That man does excellent woodworking and is also a carpenter. The things he makes are very exquisite, and your father has learned a lot from him. In just a few days, his craftsmanship has improved greatly.”

Shu Yu became interested and raised her eyebrows, “That impressive?”

“Certainly,” said Madam Ruan, “The man’s surname is Yao. They often work together, and he even introduced clients to your father. This morning your father went to his house, and when I came back from setting up the stall, I sent Daya to Carpenter Yao’s home to find him. But Carpenter Yao’s family said that he had taken a job to make decorative pieces for a big family outside the town and took your father with him. They might not come back until tonight.”

The wife of Carpenter Yao didn’t know which family it was outside the town, but they reckoned they would be busy all day.

Shu Yu took a sip of soup and nodded, “I see.”

Madam Ruan said, “After you finish your meal, rest well. Stay at home tonight, and naturally, you will see your father when he comes back.”

“Okay.”

The family quickly finished their noon meal, and Madam Ruan hurried Shu Yu to take a rest at noon.

When Shu Yu got up, she saw that several people were busy in the courtyard, sorting out the dry goods they had brought back.

Seeing Shu Yu come out of the house, Madam Ruan quickly pulled her into her room and took out several sets of brand-new clothes from the wardrobe.

“These were made by your mother and Daya during these days. The weather is getting colder, and although winter here is a bit warmer than in Jiangyuan County, it often rains. Once it rains, it gets terribly cold. I’ve made you a few cotton-padded clothes, try them on.”

Shu Yu instantly noticed the five or six sets of clothes laid on the bed by Madam Ruan, including liners, coats, padded clothes, and long skirts. It seemed that her mother and sister had not been idle after closing their stall every day.

She sat down next to Madam Ruan, “Mother, don’t tire yourself out like this. It’s hard enough running the stall every day, and you still need to prepare the next day’s ingredients. How do you find the time to make so many clothes? Don’t you need to sleep? Besides, at the place in Righteous Dao Village, I’ll be working, and good clothes will get ruined as soon as I wear them.”

“Grandmother told me, from now on, you’ll be the steward in the manor, so you won’t have to wear the same colored clothes as when you worked on the wasteland. I’ve made these for you to wear.”

Besides, she was already very skilled at making clothes; she could cut the cloth to size with her eyes closed, and it wasn’t tiring at all.

Shu Yu couldn’t argue with her and obediently went aside to try on the clothes.

The clothes made by Madam Ruan and Daya fit perfectly, and Shu Yu could tell they would be comfortable without even putting them on.

Madam Ruan was very satisfied and pulled her outside to show the old lady and the others. After attracting a round of flattering compliments, Shu Yu finally managed to take the clothes off.

Then, Shu Yu went out shopping with Daya, bringing along Sanya and Dahu, to see if there was anything they needed to buy.

By the time they came back, it was already a bit late.

However, Lu Erbai had not returned, and Shu Yu was getting worried.

Just as she was considering whether or not to go out and look for him, the courtyard door was pushed open.
