Lu Jingqiu was escorted home to the military compound by Shen Mu and his two friends before returning.
By the time she reached the compound, it was already after five o'clock, and Aunt Zhang was already cooking dinner; Lu Jingqiu set her things down and went to help.
Over on West Street, Xia Lin had been waiting for a while. Seeing them leave, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and soon packed up her stall, not having sold much.
She was currently staying at a guesthouse, looking at the goods in her hands – there were still dozens of items left. She planned to sell for another two days before returning. She had been away for so long and had only sent a telegram to Gao Shu in the meantime; if she didn't return soon, he would definitely get angry.
He didn't really like her doing these public-facing activities, but if she didn't take this opportunity to make some money and save up some capital, how would she start her own factory later on?
