Chapter 2020: Chapter 2020: Bought a House in Liufang Alley

Zhao Xi has collaborated with Doctor Xu to establish the medical clinic, but Shu Yu was not present at the opening.

However, the last time the old lady went to Chenggu County, she mentioned to her that the clinic’s publicity was quite strong. Firstly, Zhao Xi’s reputation had quietly spread over the past two years, especially among the wealthy families, all of whom knew about his excellent medical skills.

Back when Elder Zhao took Ah Ning to detoxify the Tan family’s Eldest Young Master, their identity was revealed. Old Master Tan, with his wide circle of friends, was often asked about the famous doctor’s whereabouts, and he pointed them to Zhao Xi in Jiangyuan County.

Therefore, not only the wealthy families in the county town but also those from the prefecture come to see him for treatment.

Secondly, Doctor Xu’s network also played a part. Although he has an eccentric temperament, he is quite skilled.

Thus, on the day of the clinic’s opening, it was very bustling, and now it is steadily developing.

And then there’s Elder Zhao. Last year, Meng Yunzheng, in collaboration with the Emperor, staged a play that deceived Hao Dingshan, who came to inquire about the Dongqing Temple master, making him believe the Emperor was gravely ill, and specifically had Elder Zhao leave Jiangyuan County.

Now that everything has settled, with the members of the Xiao Family who deserved execution having been executed, and those who deserved capture having been captured, Elder Zhao naturally has returned.

After returning, he temporarily stayed at Zhao Xi’s clinic to help, although he is not a permanent doctor, many still seek him for treatment.

Currently, each member of the Lu family is occupied with their own endeavors, all achieving flourishing success, which makes the old lady exceptionally gratified.

She held Shu Yu’s hand, "They know you’ve come home and will definitely rush back. You should go to your room and rest for a while since you’ve traveled for such a long time and must be tired."

Shu Yu wasn’t very tired, but after she went to the backyard with the old lady, she couldn’t shake off a feeling that something was amiss.

She thought for a long time and suddenly realized that it was normal for the other members of the Lu family to be absent since they were busy with their work.

But where was Aunt? Since she had returned, it seemed she should be with the old lady.

Thinking of this, Shu Yu asked, "Why haven’t I seen Aunt?"

"She is at her own house."

Her own house?

The old lady said, "I wanted her to stay here, but now she’s not the unmarried sister she was before; she would definitely feel uncomfortable living here."

Of course, if it were just her sister alone, the old lady would insist on having her stay.

But now she’s acknowledged Yuan Gui, has a dutiful grandson, and has family, so the old lady naturally wouldn’t force her.

"When she was in Chenggu County, didn’t she receive a compensation of six hundred taels from Chen Bing? With money in hand, she bought a small two-entry courtyard over by Liufang Alley."

Shu Yu was surprised, "Bought a house in Liufang Alley?"

"Yes, we’re familiar with that area; the neighbors are quite kind, and it’s convenient to go anywhere. Also, the clothing factory is there, your Aunt may not excel in much, but she’s very skilled at making clothes. Since she’s someone who can’t stay idle, she went to work in the clothing factory."

However, Granny Fang’s situation is different from Mrs. Xiang and others. Xiang is employed by Yiren Pavilion, where wages consist of a base salary and a commission per garment.

Granny Fang, being older, both the old lady and Yuan Gui worry she’ll tire herself out. Not to mention working a full day at the clothing factory without fail, they’re generally not in favor of her working at all.

The old lady actually wishes to involve Granny Fang in making dolls together. Though the wages aren’t high, the work is lighter and not as tiring.
