“Okay.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded.
“Tomorrow, I’ll go to the county to prepare for the opening of the shop. After the shop opens, I’ll stay in the county for a while until the shop stabilizes before 1 return.’
“Sounds good, Sifu.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both agreed.
“I’ve already told Grandfather that Xue Daxi should be able to return soon. He was very happy when he heard the news.”
“Good to hear.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan agreed again.
“That’s that. You guys continue to practice martial arts. I’m leaving.” After saying that, he mounted his horse and waved goodbye to the two children. Then, Xue Sihu clamped his horse’s belly and left.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan turned around and returned to the old house after seeing Sifu completely disappear from their sight.
In Du Shanqiangs family…
“Shanqiang! Shanqiang!” Suddenly, Grandma Du came back from outside. As she hurried back, she anxiously called out for her son.
Du Shanqiang was with He Erniu in the firewood room, digging out plows, hoes, and other farming tools. February was coming, and it was the prime time for some seeds to be planted. Suddenly, he heard his mother calling him. He thought something had happened and hurriedly strode out of the shed.
“What’s wrong, Mother?”
Grandpa Du also walked out of the central room.
He Erniu naturally followed Du Shanqiang out of the shed.
Seeing that Xue Daxi and Du Hongguo were not around, Grandma Du asked,
“Where are the two lazy ones? Are they out visiting people again?”
He Erniu said with a virtuous look, “No, Daxi and Hongguo are sleeping in the room.”
“Why are they still asleep? It’s about to be nighttime!” Of course, Grandpa Du was exaggerating.
However, once Grandma Du heard this, she became furious.
“What happened?” Grandpa Du waited for a long time, but Grandma Du didn’t say anything. He asked again in a bad mood.
Grandma Du then remembered, “l forgot about it when I was interrupted! “Then, she immediately became anxious, “The Wu family is back from selling tofu! I heard from his wife that he met Dafu in town this morning. His son even bought a shop in the county and wants to start a business there! I heard that he was still planning to wait for the shops in the county to stabilize
before letting Xue Dagui manage that shop. Xue Dagui’s wages would increase again! If Shanqiang was here, he would handle matters better than Xue Dagui. That I can be certain of. That shop in the county would never prosper if it was under Xue Dagui’s management! Shanqiang should be the one with that title!”
Grandpa Du’s face was a little ugly. No matter what, good things never fall on their family!
Du Shanqiang was speechless. “Daxi’s brother isn’t shameless. All he wants is to earn more from his rice noodles. There must be a reason why he gave Dagui a raise in salary and let him manage the shop in the county. Mother, why are you always jumping to conclusions like this? It shouldn’t have been my turn. Don’t you know that even in the shop in the past, at most, I only helped out with some chores? Anyone could replace me. I was actually dispensable, but no one could replace Dagui.”
“Don’t boost the morale of others and destroy your own prestige!” Grandma Du immediately cursed. “How do I put it… If three of us worked in that shop, the three of us combined would far out-compare Dagui!’
Du Shanqiang was about to say that the three of them added together really couldn’t compare..
