The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Capítulo 1578: Chapter 1578: The Second Prize Has Been Announced

Shu Yu raised her eyebrows. Could it be that another grand prize has appeared?

Indeed, just as her thought settled, someone loudly exclaimed, “Second Prize, this is the Second Prize.”

Mrs. Tan immediately stepped forward, unable to resist her curiosity, wanting to see exactly what the Second Prize was.

She was standing at the back, not far away, so it’s easy to see.

Now, next to the raffle table are Ying Xi and Wei Fangfang, who came to help.

Ying Xi walked to the table, yanked the cloth off the Second Prize, revealing the prizes underneath.

The crowd suddenly widened their eyes, and before they could react, Ying Xi said, “There are five second prizes in total, with two types of prizes for everyone to choose from: one side is a camphor wood chest, and the other a inkstone. May I ask this guest, which one would you like to choose?”

This time, the winner of the Second Prize was a woman who appeared to be not in great economic conditions.

What made Shu Yu curious was that usually such families wouldn’t be willing to spend 200 coins on a snack they hadn’t tried before.

Just like the former Lu family, 200 coins for them could buy quite a lot of things: pots, pans, clothing, and daily necessities, even a few pounds of meat would be more practical.

The woman obviously hadn’t processed it yet, blinking in disbelief at the slip of paper labeled Second Prize in her hand.

Instead, the other woman accompanying her exclaimed in delight and surprise, “Sister-in-law, you’ve really hit the jackpot recently. Your niece is about to get married soon, this camphor wood chest is right what you needed.”

Someone nearby curiously asked, “Is there a happy occasion at home? That camphor wood chest is perfect, it’s beautifully crafted and not at all shabby as a dowry for the girls in the family. Your sister-in-law’s luck is incredible.”

The woman nodded repeatedly, her heart delighted, couldn’t help but talk more, “Yes, yes, we originally didn’t plan to buy melon seeds from this shop. Spending 200 coins to enter the raffle isn’t cheap, but to entertain the future in-laws, we had to buy something nice. Who knew such a good fortune would come.”

The woman who drew the raffle finally snapped back to reality, her gaze fervently fixed on that camphor wood chest, her lips trembling as she spoke, “I… I just wanted to try my luck, hoping to win a fourth prize. I thought that piece of fabric, I could take it back to make a brand new set of clothes for my daughter.”

Even if worse comes to worst, winning three instant noodles is still good.

Who would have thought, with one draw, came Second Prize, a camphor wood chest.

She couldn’t help but reach out to touch the chest, its delicate grain, exquisite carving, tightly sealed lid. It’s more beautiful than the camphor wood chest the village chief’s daughter received when she got married. If they were to make it themselves, they probably couldn’t make it this good.

These 200 coins… were spent far too wisely, just this camphor wood chest far exceeds this value.

She swallowed hard, looked up at Ying Xi, then through Ying Xi to the Shu Yu, who had somehow appeared behind, and asked, “Is this, is this really mine?”

Shu Yu nodded with a smile, “Of course, with so many people watching, we wouldn’t deceive. There are only five second prize winners in total, congratulations on being one of the lucky ones. The chest on the table is just a sample, I’ll have someone bring out a new chest for you. Can you take it back?”

This chest was made by Lu Erbai with someone else; he has always been dedicated to his work, so the quality of the camphor wood chest is naturally good.
