Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Old man w.a.n.g chased w.a.n.g Chuangui away, he said to Ah Yu, “Do you want it? This jade is not good. Grandpa will bring you to the market tomorrow to buy a good piece of jade and make a set of jade pendants for you.”
He had long wanted to do this, but he had no free time in the prefecture capital previously, and he didn’t have any supplies in town. How could ordinary jade be worthy of his precious granddaughter?
Moreover, he didn’t have that much money. He could only rely on his monthly allowance to save up.
Now, everyone in the w.a.n.g Family’s monthly allowance had increased, but it wasn’t much. The adults received 15 taels a month, and the children received 1 tael a month. As for the children who were as young as Zhu’er, they would save the money for him. It was 100 copper coins a month.
Such an allowance was actually considered a lot even in a rich family.
There were people who took care of food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation for the rich families. After deducting these expenses, there was less private money to hold on to.
Old man w.a.n.g had saved up a lot over the years, but it was still a little lacking to buy good jade.
He planned to go to the jade market to take a look and buy some unopened stones. When the time comes, the yield should not be bad.
Even after so many years, his skill was still there. He wouldn’t make bad judgments usually.
If he could bring All Yu along, his success rate would increase to 100%.
“Alright.” All Yu didn’t mind her family preparing gifts for her. In any case, if she had anything good, she would often give it to her family.
As long as it wasn’t too expensive, she was willing to accept it.
Seeing that Ah Yu had agreed to this but had yet to leave, he asked her, “What else do you need?”
Ah Yu said, “Grandpa, there’s a small matter. I met an uncle sitting on a wooden chair with wheels in the bookstore today. He can’t stand up and walk. He looks very unhappy.”
Then, Ah Yu lowered her voice and said, “The elf said that the wooden wheel he sat on was very bad and had many shortcomings, so I wanted to make a better wooden wheel for him because he helped me save a lot of money today!”
Old man w.a.n.g’s gaze flickered. Uncle on a wooden chair with wheels?
He couldn’t help but think of someone. However, considering the time, that person was probably in his seventies or eighties and couldn’t be considered Ah Yu’s uncle at all.
In order to understand more, Old man w.a.n.g asked many questions, such as the person’s characteristics, the appearance of the wooden chair, and if the person spoke with any speech habits or personality problems, and so on.
Ah Yu answered the things that she knew, but there were also some things she didn’t understand. The questions sounded like they came from the clouds.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Old Madam w.a.n.g walked out of the courtyard and said to Old man w.a.n.g, “If Ah Yu wants you to do something, just do it. Why are you asking questions?”
Old man w.a.n.g could only shut his mouth.
Under Meatball’s command, Ah Yu first drew a rough outline of King Xiaoyao’s original wheelchair. Then, she took out another thin pen and drew new lines at the side.
At first glance, there didn’t seem to be any difference, but when Old man w.a.n.g saw the blueprint, his eyes lit up.
“This is really a blueprint that only an immortal can make. If the wheelchair is designed like this, the person sitting in it can control it freely and it won’t be easy to fall!”
Old man w.a.n.g held the blueprint in his hand and even forgot about Old Madam w.a.n.g and Ah Yu around him. He was completely immersed in his own world.
He muttered something non-stop. Then, he placed the blueprint on the table at the side and pulled a servant out like a madman.
After a while, Old man w.a.n.g rushed back, grabbed the blueprint, and stuffed it into his arms.
He rushed out like crazy again..
