Chapter 989: A Big Future Surprise

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

However, in order to avoid encountering something like the incident at the tavern, Empress Dowager Yunzi had already transferred the Cloud Guards over to secretly protect her along the way.

Two of the Cloud Guards even revealed themselves and stood behind Empress Dowager Yunzi. Each of them stood tall and brave, holding a sword in their hands. It was obvious that they were very skilled based on how they carried themselves.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan saw the two unfamiliar faces behind Empress Dowager Yunzi. They could tell at a glance that they were very skilled, and they were even dressed in embroidered white robes with silver cloud patterns. Although the two of them didn’t ask anything, they were immediately certain that these two were the Cloud Guards.

After sending off Empress Dowager Yunzi, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan returned to their shop.

The other people in the shop were selling food for breakfast. Erfu and Sifu were preparing to eat their breakfast. They just happened to walk in before the two started eating.

After having breakfast in the shop, Erfu began to hitch up a carriage to take them home.

Sifu helped to set up the carriage while smiling. “This Shopkeeper Qiao is going to be the head shopkeeper of our family. Erfu, are you happy to hear this?”

“Yeah,” Erfu, Xue Erfu, said with a smile, “We’ve dealt with him more than once before. We all know his background. He’s a reliable person who thinks about the shop. Naturally, we can rest assured.”

Pausing for a moment, Xue Erfu smiled again and said, “That’s great. In the future, you can let Shopkeeper Qiao manage the shop. You can just focus on developing or expanding our shop instead. It’s best if our family can open a few more shops in other places. We’ll strive to make a fortune this year. Father and Mother will definitely be so happy that they won’t even know when to stop smiling”

“Haha, then I’ll work extra hard for it.” Xue Sifu laughed. “Then Erfu, I’ll leave the house and the workshop to you. Forget about Yifu helping around, he likes to do woodwork. Let him practice making things according to Xue Yan’s drawings. One day when our family is richer, we can open a carpenter shop for him to play with and take in a few disciples. He will definitely be happy to hear that if we offer such a thing for him.”

“I know. Don’t worry. I also have the idea of opening a carpenter shop for Yifu, but it’s better not to tell Yifu now. In the future, we’ll give Yifu a big surprise.” Xue Erfu laughed.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other. They also felt that it would be good to give their Yifu a surprise instead of telling him now. Yifu would definitely be happy to hear the surprise.

Although Yifu was extremely honest and did not socialize well with others, he also wanted to be recognized and liked by others.

“Right,” Xue Erfu added, “If I have time, I will come back to town to learn how to manage a shop.”

” Of course. Shopkeeper Qiao will be here. If you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask him. I’ve already told him all that I know.” Xue Sifu laughed.

“Deal!” At this moment, the carriage was ready. Xue Erfu started to call out to them. “Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, hurry up. Get on the carriage. We’re going back.”

“Coming.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both obediently agreed. Then, the two of them hurriedly climbed onto the carriage and sat inside obediently.

Xue Erfu drove the carriage out of town.

While they were only two villages away from Locust Village, the carriage’s wheels suddenly broke. Xue Erfu was afraid that the two kids would fall, so he quickly stopped the carriage.

“Come down quickly, come down quickly.”

Once Xue Erfu stopped the carriage, he even hurriedly let Jiang Yue and Xue Yan get down.

The three of them looked around the wooden wheel on the left side of the carriage. The wheel had splintered. If they rolled it a few more times, it would probably fall apart.

If it really fell apart, it would be even harder to get it back.

“How about this? I’ll run and go back to call Yifu. Yifu knows how to install these wheels. We have spare wheels made by him at home. You guys wait for me here and watch over this carriage.. Sounds good?”
