"This is it." Shopkeeper Li said, "Your aunt is grateful for the wheelchair you sent, and she wanted to invite you to our home for a visit. But I know youâve been busy before the New Year, so I told her you probably wouldnât have time. She immediately started packing up some things for me to bring to you. You canât refuse them."
"Anything from Uncle Li must be excellent. It would be a great honor for me to receive it, let alone refuse it." Yang Chuxia laughed and said.
"By the way, I also brought the New Yearâs gifts from the boss." Shopkeeper Li waved at his attendant, who brought several boxes from behind and placed them on the table, "Our boss specially sent these from the prefecture."
Yang Chuxia didnât know what was in the boxes, but seeing their gorgeous packaging, she hesitated, "Uncle Li, how can we accept such valuable things?"
"Whatâs wrong with it? These are New Yearâs gifts, which you must accept," Shopkeeper Li paused and then continued, "You should accept them. In the past few months, youâve made our boss a great profit. The stuff you made was sent by our boss to the prefecture, and it sold out in less than a day."
Shopkeeper Li paused and added, "Our boss is planning to send more to the prefecture next year. If it sells as well as this time, he intends to send it to the Capital City."
Pondering this, Yang Chuxia started wondering about Shopkeeper Liâs bossâs identity, and dared to sell the goods in the Capital City, he must have some connections.
Trying to mask her curiousness, she asked, "Uncle Li, is your boss from the prefecture or the Capital City?"
Seeing her cautiousness, Shopkeeper Li laughed, "I thought youâd never ask."
Yang Chuxia blushed, realizing that the other party was waiting for her to ask the question.
Indeed, Shopkeeper Li replied, "Our boss is not from the prefecture but originally from the Capital City. Have you ever heard of the Mu Family in the Capital City? Our boss is from the third branch of the family. The third branch of the Mu Family has been settled in the prefecture. This restaurant is the private property of the young master of the third branch. Iâm telling you this, but you must not spread the word."
"Of course, Iâm not the kind of person who talks too much."
Yang Chuxia nodded, feeling more at ease. She didnât know about the Mu Family of the Capital City, but she did know that the boss was someone important. Working with someone like this, she wouldnât have to worry about people causing her trouble or taking over her business. The only thing to worry about was the boss himself.
But from what Shopkeeper Li implied, this person still had no intention of stealing her ideas. However, she knew that itâs always better to be cautious.
While figuring out a plan in her head, she continued to chat with Shopkeeper Li.
Shopkeeper Li didnât stay for very long. He left after delivering the New Yearâs gifts and chatting with Yang Chuxiaâs family for a while.
However, it seemed that everyone who was going to send New Yearâs gifts to her house had chosen this day to visit.
After Shopkeeper Li left, Constable Hong also came.
When Constable Hong left, Broker Liu, who didnât have much interaction with their family, also arrived.
After Broker Liu left, someone from the county government came, bringing gifts from the County Magistrate and steward for the New Year.
In this way, Yang Chuxiaâs family gained face again. With the County Magistrate sending New Year gifts in addition to the congratulatory gifts he sent for the opening of her shop, he was clearly showing his intention of developing a good relationship with her family.
