Shu Yu looked up at the entrance of the county office again and walked away with her basket.
Now that Jiangyuan County’s country magistrate had been captured, G.o.d knows who the new county magistrate would be.
Hopefully, the other party was a good official who was easy to get along with and made decisions for the people.
Shu Yu thought as he walked to the entrance of the shop. When Craftsman Zheng saw that she had brought a cat back, he was very curious, “Why did you suddenly think of raising a cat? If you want to raise one, at least choose an older one. It’s so small that it can’t even catch a mouse.”
In the eyes of ordinary people, cats were raised to catch mice, and dogs were raised to guard the house.
They were all commoners. Who would raise cats and dogs as pets? Only those rich ladies would have the time to play with cats and dogs.
Obviously, the Lu family was not rich.
Shu Yu smiled and said, “Something good happened when I met Maneki. It’s my lucky star. It doesn’t matter if it can catch mice or not, what’s important is that it’s now the shop’s guardian cat.”
Hmm, this cat would be called Maneki in the future. Hopefully, it would attract some monetary fortune.
“Haha!” Craftsman Zheng laughed, “The shop’s guardian cat, huh? Miss, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Your shop sells ready-to-wear clothes. If
you raise a cat in the shop and its claws accidentally tear your clothes, you’ll cry.”
Shu Yu was speechless.
d.a.m.n, she had actually forgotten about this.
She lowered her head and stared at Maneki.
Maneki’s eyes were wet as if it was about to be abandoned again.
Shu Yu was defeated, “I’ll think of a way.”
Either way, it was impossible to throw it away and let it be a stray cat again.
After exchanging a few words with Craftsman Zheng, Shu Yu carried the basket and went to the backyard.
In the evening, Craftsman Zheng finished his work and went back, “We’ll come back tomorrow to check and see if there’s anything that needs fixing. After that, well be done after we clean it up.”
Shu Yu stood at the entrance of the shop and nodded, “Thank you for your hard work, Craftsman Zheng.”
“What’s so hard?” On the contrary, Craftsman Zheng was very happy. He did not receive much work these days, so Shu Yu’s shop renovation was already a big order.
Moreover, when they were working these few days, a few people would come to take a look, wanting to inquire about the situation of this shop.
Shu Yu told him to say the shop’s business frankly, so Craftsman Zheng did not hide it.
As they asked, they would also watch Craftsman Zheng’s work. Seeing that he was meticulous, good at communicating, and did his work quickly and beautifully, they negotiated two deals on the spot.
To Craftsman Zheng, this was something so great that he could not even imagine.
Therefore, Craftsman Zheng was very grateful to Shu Yu, “Then I’ll be leaving first. Remember to lock the door and don’t let just anyone in.”
“Alright. ”
After Shu Yu watched Craftsman Zheng leave, she locked the door and went to eat dinner.
Shu Yu was already very familiar with this area. There were no ordinary small stalls, but there were several restaurants.
She only wanted a simple meal, so she walked further away.
When she returned, she found two people standing at the entrance of the shop.
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. The two of them looked like a master and a servant.
They were looking up at her shop with furrowed brows.
Shu Yu walked forward and was about to ask what they wanted when she heard the servant girl say, “Miss, this shop isn’t open yet. There isn’t even a plaque. Did you find the wrong place?
“78 Ningshui Street, it’s correct.”
The servant girl looked at the door number. It was correct. “But, I asked the shop next door just now. The shopkeeper said that this is a ready-to-wear clothes shop and it’s still under repair these two days. It doesn’t match what’s written on the paper at all. It’s all a lie..”
