Chapter 201: A Disgusting Gift
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone instantly perked up and looked at the exquisite gift with burning eyes.
To them, Lord Xiang was a distant figure. The gift in front of them was the most practical.
Shu Yu looked at the five gifts before her. There were Doctor Xu’s, Meng Yunzheng’s, Ding Yuehua’s, and Lord Xiang’s, as well as the huge, ugly, and especially heavy gift from Boss Lue.
Shu Yu first took Doctor Xu’s and opened it. Inside was a gift of fruits. Not only were there dried fruits like red dates and longan but also some candied fruits and fresh fruits that were very rare in Jiangyuan County and did not look cheap.
Lu Sanzhu and Madam Liang stared at the gift, a little restless.
Shu Yu calmly closed the lid and put it aside.
Then, she looked at Ding Yuehua’s gift. As soon as she opened it, Ruan Shi’s eyes lit up.
“This screen is too exquisite.”
Shu Yu took the screen out of the gift box. The Ding family was rich, so the gift Ding Yuehua send was also expensive.
The screen didn’t look simple. Just the embroidery on it showed that it was definitely made by a professional. This could be placed in the shop as a piece of decor, and others to gasp at its beauty.
Shu Yu put the screen away and continued to open the next gift.
Looking at the… lump before her, for a moment, Shu Yu did not know where to start.
Although it was called a gift, it was just a big bag tied with a messy red ribbon.
“Boss Lue is nothing good. God knows what the hell this thing he sent over is. Why don’t we just take it out and throw it away?” The old lady looked at the bundle in disgust.
“Don’t. Let’s see what’s inside first,” Lu Sanzhu’s hands were quick and he
opened the bag.
As soon as it was opened, the things inside the bag fell to the ground as if they had exploded.
Everyone fell silent. The old lady slammed the table, “I knew it! That Boss Lue isn’t so kind! To think he sent us a pile of trash!”
Shu Yu looked at the rags scattered on the ground and rubbed her chin.
Boss Lue had taken out all the rags he had accumulated in the past and stuffed them into the bag, huh? No wonder it was so heavy.
The scraps of cloth in the cloth shops or clothing stores could usually be reused. Some shops would sell them at a low price or give them away. They could be used as shoe padding or mend clothes, or even cut and embroidered to make handkerchiefs.
However, the pile before them was rags of cloth scraps. God knows if Boss Lue had deliberately made it so or if they were originally leftovers. Most of the rags were in strips and could not be sewn together or repurposed.
Boss Lue had deliberately sent them over to disgust them.
Even Daya was very angry. She squatted and picked up the rags that had fallen on the ground, “I’ll pack them up now. We’ll throw them back into their shop later.”
“No need. I just happen to be lacking shredded cloth. We can use them and maybe sell them for money,” Shu Yu stopped her.
Daya looked at the rags in her hand and frowned, “This can’t be used anymore. We can’t even sew them up.”
“There’s no need to sew them. Just use them as stuffing,” Shu Yu felt that the rags could be used to make a few dolls.
These days, cotton was very expensive, and she could not find other materials for stuffing for the time being. The rags were just right.
Later, she would get someone to sew a few dolls of cats and dogs and stuff them with these rags.. Wouldn’t that be a source of income too?
