Chapter 117 Looking for a job

Ye Beixiu asked Pang Xiujuan in annoyance, "Mom, do you have anything else to say? I've been out all day and I'm tired. I want to take a good rest."

Pang Xiujuan stood up and walked straight out.

After walking a few steps, he returned to Zhang Juexia and said, "Don't just seduce my son all day long."

"Mother, if you don't leave now, the north wind won't be able to find you and will make trouble again."

Only then did Pang Xiujuan hurried out.

Ye Beixiu watched Pang Xiujuan walk away, then looked at Zhang Juexia with shame, "Don't take my mother's words to heart."

"From now on, our front door must be kept closed at all times."

Ye Beixiu nodded in agreement, "It has to be locked up to prevent anyone from breaking in."

Zhang Juexia looked at Ye Beixiu meaningfully. Isn’t this person Pang Xiujuan?

Who enters someone else's house without knocking?

"I didn't know your mother was into this. I thought it would take a lot of trouble for her to leave!"

"I just said a few words to her casually."

"Fortunately, you only know the police officer. If you became a high-ranking official, your mother would have been very aggressive."

Ye Beixiu reached out and grabbed Zhang Juexia, holding her tightly in his arms. He rubbed his head against Zhang Juexia's back and muttered, "Do you dare to say what you just said again?"

Zhang Juexia looked at Ye Beixiu with a smile, "May I ask, Lord Ye, how will you punish me?"

Ye Beixiu smiled and picked up Zhang Juexia horizontally, "It seems that if your husband doesn't do something powerful, you won't know what's wrong."

Zhang Juexia laid down in Ye Beixiu's arms, "I was wrong, I was wrong. My husband, please don't do this in broad daylight!"

"As a husband, I know my limits."

After saying that, Ye Beixiu slowly placed Zhang Juexia on the kang. He also took off his shoes and got on the kang. "Madam, rub my legs. I may have been standing for a long time today, and my legs are sore."

"Let me show you off. Do you want to let Doctor Liu see it?"

"Don't bother him, just rub it for me and it won't hurt."

"Am I a panacea that can cure all diseases?"

"Um."

Ye Beixiu nodded solemnly.

"My dear, please don't take my mother's words to heart. Seeing her treat you like this, I feel bad. But I can't do anything about it. Do you know how that feels?"

"You didn't just stand there and watch, doing nothing. You were always helping me and protecting me."

"My dear, I have always wondered why my mother couldn't let grandma and aunt treat you like that. If she treated you better, maybe I would feel better too."

"Don't think too much, we can't change it."

Ye Beixiu fell asleep quickly, probably because he had been drinking.

Zhang Juexia covered him with a blanket and tiptoed out of the door.

Seeing that it was getting dark, she hurried to the backyard and prepared to ask the people who were working to go home quickly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived in the backyard, she was surrounded by people.

"Bei Xiu's wife, your mother-in-law is gone?"

Zhang Juexia nodded.

"Your mother-in-law is just like that. Don't get angry with her. If she gets sick, you'll suffer."

"Originally, we were thinking of going to the front yard to help you, but we didn't expect Bei Xiu to be so responsible and dare to confront his mother for you."

"That's right, Bei Xiu's wife, you don't know that my husband always thinks whatever his mother says is right. He always obeys his mother."

"My husband is pretty much the same."

Everyone was chattering in Zhang Juexia's ears. Although it hurt her ears a bit, she could feel everyone's concern.

"Ladies and aunts, it's getting dark soon. You can't waste a little time working. Otherwise, it will be bad for your eyes. Go home and rest early!"

"Okay, let's go. We'll come earlier tomorrow."

Zhang Juexia saw everyone off, closed the door, and then went into the house.

She lit the lamp, checked the purses everyone had made, and took out the colored threads, thinking about how to match them with the appropriate strings.

This job is not easy either. It requires both hands and brain.

She felt that she would have to ask Ye Suyun to help her tomorrow. If that didn't work, she could also find a helper from those who helped with needlework.

Have a good night's sleep.

Ye Beixiu got up early and went to Manfu Restaurant with Ye Beishan to deliver the wild rabbit.

Zhang Juexia was sleeping soundly. She didn't hear Ye Beixiu and the others catching rabbits or loading them onto the truck.

It was not until Ye Beixiu left that he woke Zhang Juexia up and told her that he had prepared breakfast and asked her to heat it up before eating and not eat it cold.

Zhang Juexia got up and put on her clothes. When she went into the kitchen, she saw only her own meal. It seemed that Liu Mingda and Gancao had already eaten.

She listened to Ye Beixiu, heated it up from the pot, and slowly started eating.

The people working in the backyard had arrived long ago, and Zhang Juexia boiled another pot of hot water and prepared to bring it over.

She heard knocks on the door and her heart tightened. Could it be Pang Xiujuan again?

When she was hesitating whether to open the door, she heard someone outside the door say, "Sister-in-law Bei Xiu, it's me, Qin Eryong."

"Your brother Bei Xiu is not at home, is there anything wrong?"

"Sister-in-law, we have something to talk to you about. Please open the door."

Zhang Juexia had no choice but to put down the pot in his hand and go to open the door.

"Sister-in-law, this is my wife, Li Yulan."

Zhang Juexia looked at the person in front of him. She was wearing a red wedding dress, her hair was simply tied up with a thin silver hairpin, her eyes were bright, and when she smiled, there were two shallow dimples on her face.

Li Yulan smiled and greeted Zhang Juexia, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Zhang Juexia invited the couple into the house, but was stopped by Li Yulan when he wanted to pour some water.

"Sister-in-law, please don't be so busy. I heard from my husband last night that you and Brother Bei Xiu helped him a lot. He and I came here today to thank you."

"We're all from the same village, there's really no need to be so polite."

After Zhang Juexia said this, the room fell silent.

Li Yulan took a deep breath and said, "Sister-in-law, we are here today to ask for a favor. Yesterday, I heard my husband mention that you need someone who is good at sewing. Can I try?"

"Yes, of course I can. As long as you are really good at sewing, I need it. But you are a new bride, and your elderly family still has..."

Zhang Juexia glanced at Qin Eryong.

Qin Eryong said indifferently, "Sister-in-law, from now on, I will listen to my wife about all family matters."

Li Yulan was quite straightforward. "Sister-in-law, my family is so poor that they can barely afford to eat. I even borrowed money from your family to marry Qin Eryong. I earn my own money, so who dares to say anything?"

"As long as you are willing, you can come to the backyard warehouse to work anytime."

"Right now?"

"Um."

Li Yulan shook off Qin Eryong's hand and said, "You heard what my sister-in-law said. I'm going to work in the backyard now. You can go home by yourself."

Although Qin Eryong was somewhat reluctant, he did not dare to refute Li Yulan, so he had to go home alone, looking back every few steps.
