After having lunch with the County Magistrate's family, Li Yuzhu and Li Xing'an returned to the new store.
This time, Li Yuzhu didn't bring Li Lixing.
Her reasoning was to let Li Lixing spend more time with the County Magistrate's Wife, and besides, she might come to the county town again soon.
Li Lixing thought about their siblings' new store and didn't follow them to the village. With the store here, they couldn't just leave it unattended, right?
Leaving the store empty would be such a waste since it could make money.
.
Li Xing'an and Li Yuzhu didn't plan to take Li Lixing's carriage back to the village, nor did they plan to take the carriage of Brother Chai and Sister-in-law Chai. If they borrowed it, what would the family do for travel?
The siblings then discussed finding a ride back to the village.
Not many families had ox carts, carriages, mule carts, or donkey carts, and many people relied on catching a ride.
Payment was based on the travel distance.
