Shu Yu reminded the old lady, “Ma’am, should we take this opportunity to collect the rags?

The old lady suddenly came back to her senses. “Yes, yes, yes. We have to immediately collect all the rags in this county. This doll isn’t difficult to make. Perhaps someone has already seen the business opportunity and is going to snatch it from us.”

She had learned the term “business opportunity” from Shu Yu.

Shu Yu could not help but laugh. “Then I’ll go and drive the mule carriage. Shall we set off now?

“All right. Let’s go now.”

Shu Yu drove the mule carriage out and brought the old lady along. With just the both of them, they began to sweep through the shops in the county town that were related to cloth and began to purchase rags.

Shu Yu even signed contracts with two relatively large cloth shops, and the

rags would be specially supplied to them in the future.

By the time they drove one round around the town, the baskets in the mule carriage were basically full.

The old lady looked at the loot with a smile. The rags that no one wanted were now like treasures in her eyes.

When the two of them returned home, they saw that Daya, Dahu, and Sanya were also at home.

Daya quickly came over to help unload the goods and piled the baskets in the living room.

It wasn’t good to put the rags outside, especially after noon. The weather had been gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain, so he might as well bring them to the living room, even if it were a little squeezy.

The old lady said, “When the weather gets better, we’ll wash these rags and dry them in the sun.”

Her plan was very good, but Shu Yu saw Sanya in the corner looking a little downcast.

Thinking of the doll that was originally left for Sanya and Dahu to play with,

Shu Yu walked forward and asked, “What’s wrong, Sanya? Do you want to play

Sanya put her fingers together, then squatted down to pick Maneki up. When she looked up again, she was already smiling. “No, I’ve sold that doll. Shu Yu, that doll is very valuable. It cost 130 coins. With so much money, we could buy a lot of meat and many other things.”

Sanya had voluntarily given up the doll, but she felt terrible. She thought, “It’s okay. I’ll just feel uncomfortable for a while. That doll can’t be eaten or drunk. I can’t be so selfish so as to prioritize my wants over our family’s needs. As Sanya spoke, she raised Maneki in her arms. “This cat doll is enough. It’s very comfortable to hug.”

Shu Yu patted her little head and smiled. “If you like something very much, you have to say it next time. That doll was originally left for you to play with. It’s okay if we don’t sell it for money. Got it?”

Shu Yu wanted to slowly change Sanya’s mindset. Otherwise, if she were to be like Daya in the future, she would be easily deceived.

Therefore, when Lu Erbai and Madam Ruan returned at night, and the whole family was talking around the table, Shu Yu said to Lu Erbai, “Father, let’s give 50 coins to Sanya from our account.”

Everyone at the dining table turned to look at her in shock. “Yu, what did you say? Give Sanya 50 coins?”

Sanya was also dumbfounded. She tugged at Shu Yu’s hand. “Shu Yu.”

Shu Yu elaborated, “It’s largely thanks to Sanya that so many of our dolls were sold today. She sat at the door just like those who give out flyers, making people feel comfortable and interested to find out more. She’s put in a lot of effort, so she naturally has to get some kind of reward, right?”

Dahu was the first to nod vigorously. “Yes.”

Sanya turned her head and looked at her brother..
