The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 194: A Heavy Gift Box

Seeing that the shop was deserted again, the Lu family members were a little worried.

Even Lu Sanzhu, who was inexplicably confident in Shu Yu, couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the lonely gift boxes on the counter.

Only three people came to congratulate the opening of the shop. This was too shabby.

He scooted over and whispered into Shu Yu’s ear, “Yu, why don’t you give me some money and I’ll hire a few people to get some empty gift boxes to increase the popularity of our shop?”

Not only him, but even Lu Dasong came over and said, “I think this method is feasible. We can also hire a few people to pretend to be customers. Otherwise, with so few people on the opening day, it will affect our luck in the future.”

Madam Li nodded at the side, “That’s right. I felt that you guys couldn’t do it from the start. We are all ordinary people. Even if you want to open a shop, it would be good enough to sell some food or open a grocery store. Why do you have to open a ready-to-wear clothes shop? Moreover, you chose Ningshui Street. Look, there are no customers at all. It’s a waste of money. You guys are too naive.”

Shu Yu was grateful for Lu Sanzhu and Lu Dasong’s good intentions, but Madam Li’s constant badmouthing today made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

“Aunt, if you don’t think much of the shop, why don’t you just go home? Either way, you can’t help much here.”

Madam Li’s eyes widened in disbelief, “You, how can you say that? I’m your elder!”

“You’re aware that you are an elder? Then as your mother-in-law, isn’t it right that I beat you to death?” The old lady walked over angrily.

She hadn’t seen any customers enter the shop and was feeling very frustrated. After scolding Madam Li, she looked at Lu Dasong, “If you can’t control your wife, don’t come. It’s a big day, yet she just insists on bringing bad luck to others.”

Madame Lee felt wronged. What did she do that was so wrong? Wasn’t she just telling the truth?

Her mother-in-law was getting more and more bias toward her second

brother-in-law’s family.

However, she did not dare to say anything in front of the old lady.

As they were talking, a commotion suddenly came from outside, “Hello, Boss Lu! What a grand opening! I hope customers will flood your shop, hahaha!”

The person was extremely loud, and it instantly diverted everyone’s attention. Everyone in the shop turned their heads to look at the door.

Lu Erbai looked at the person in confusion, ‘You are…”

That person laughed again, “Me? My surname is Lue, and I also own a shop. We are in the same trade, and my shop is just at the head of the street. You will definitely see it the next time you pass by. Come, come, come. This is a congratulatory gift from me to Boss Lu. Do accept it. This congratulatory gift cost me a lot of effort.”

Lu Erbai found the person before him quite strange. The words he said were polite, but they sounded particularly awkward.

That being said, the shopkeepers of the surrounding shops had also come to congratulate the opening of the shop this morning, so there was nothing wrong with the other party coming over either.

As such, Lu Erbai could only smile and take the gift box. However, when he took it, he realized that the gift box from Boss Lue was very big and very…

heavy.

Lu Erbai’s leg was injured, and he was holding onto a walking stick with one hand. How could he withstand the weight of the gift box after the other party suddenly released his grip? He immediately couldn’t remain standing and fell to the side.

Boos Lue stood close and couldn’t help but look smug.

However, just as Lu Erbai’s body was about to fall to the ground, a hand suddenly appeared behind him. It supported him from behind and held him up.

After Lu Erbai steadied himself, he let out a long sigh of relief. He then turned to look at Shu Yu, who was standing behind him..
