Chapter 2443: Chapter 34: Fang Family and Xu Family Aftermath
Ma Lu was helping Qi Lie with work, and the Fang Family knew he was risking his life for a future, so naturally, they couldn’t just rely on him and sit idle.
Both Father Fang and Mother Fang felt they were still young. Upon arriving in the capital, they found the prices here were too high, and even if Ma Lu did his job beautifully and often received rewards, the family’s expenses were indeed overwhelming.
Father Fang used to be a hunter living in the village, and going up the mountain to hunt wasn’t difficult.
Now, living in the capital, hunting was not easy. The Fang Family thought it over and finally decided to open a small stall to make a living.
Aunt Fang, when she was in Righteous Dao Village, worked as a kitchen maid at the manor, relying on her decent skills.
Setting up a stall was still easy, and the couple, fueled by enthusiasm, worked with great vigor.
Madam Yao originally didn’t know Aunt Fang. One time, she passed by their stall with her little grandson Mumu and saw Aunt Fang making food from the southwest, so she stopped to have a taste.
Fang Xiyue happened to bring her child over, and little Mumu, seeing another child, was naturally happy, and the two played happily without wanting to leave. Madam Yao chatted with Fang Xiyue.
Through this chat, they discovered they were also from the southwest.
And both had a good relationship with Shu Yu.
From then on, Madam Yao would occasionally bring Mumu to visit the stall to support Aunt Fang’s business. Although in the early days, being exiled to the southwest brought many hardships, those hardships had passed, and looking back now, there were many feelings.
Thus, Madam Yao and Aunt Fang never ran out of topics to chat about.
Later, when Yao Po’s family of three left, Madam Yao felt much lonelier, so she visited the stall more often, occasionally helping Fang Xiyue take care of her child, allowing her to assist Aunt Fang during busy times.
Speaking of the Fang Family, Madam Yao couldn’t help but think of another family.
“There are also the Xu Family people, who you know, right?”
Shu Yu nodded, “Does Auntie know them too?”
Madam Yao smiled, “I’ve seen them a few times, but their family lives far away. The Xu Family’s son works at the central judicial office, which is in another direction. Their family rents a place nearby. Mainly, Mrs. Xu doesn’t like going out; she’s mostly familiar with your Aunt Fang, they visit each other during holidays. I heard their neighbors rarely see Ms. Lin; the matchmaker wanting to discuss marriage for the Xu Family’s son has come by several times, but seeing the door shut, always thought no one was home, who would have known Ms. Lin was inside.”
“For Xu Zhensheng’s marriage?” Shu Yu calculated, Xu Zhensheng did indeed seem to be nineteen.
“Yes, the Xu Family is doing well now, and the Xu Family’s young man is good-looking and has a good job, so naturally, many people are interested.”
The Xu Family is indeed doing well, not only does Xu Zhensheng have a job, Xu Dali also works at Shu Yu’s shop.
Back then, both the Xu Family and the Fang Family were sent back to the capital by Lu’s convoy, which went straight to Lu’s Shop. Therefore, Manager Yun had seen the Xu and Fang Family members and knew Xu Dali.
Later, after the capital’s shop sales steadily increased, Manager Yun chose another location to open a branch shop.
Xu Dali hesitated but decided to give it a try. He had lost a hand, perhaps not suitable to be staff in the shop, but he could read and write, and being an accountant was more than enough.
He used to be responsible for keeping accounts at the manor, and after taking over Shu Yu’s ledgers, he upgraded the existing tables, making the accounts appear clearer.
