Chapter 139 Abrupt

Zhou Erniu looked around and leaned over to whisper in Pang Xiujuan's ear.

Pang Xiujuan's eyes widened, "Mom, this won't do."

"Why not? Wait until the matter is settled. No matter how capable he is, what else can he do?

Let me tell you, although Xiaoqing is not very smart, she is your eldest brother's only daughter.

I wouldn't feel safe if she married somewhere else."

Pang Xiujuan's expression relaxed slightly.

"Our family doesn't think he has any debts outside, that's good enough.

It's been a while since he married his wife, but she's still pregnant, and you, as her mother-in-law, don't do anything about it.

Besides, we are so eager to marry Xiaoqing to your family, don’t we also feel relieved that Xiaoqing will be taken care of by you in the future? "

Ye Yunliang, who was waiting on the side, had already become impatient. "Xiujuan, hurry up and leave. There is still a lot of work to do at home."

"I told you not to come, but you came anyway, and now you're the one who's trying to leave."

Zhou Erniu chased Pang Xiujuan from behind, "Think carefully about what I said. I need your definite answer in the next few days."

Pang Xiujuan responded impatiently, "I know."

Ye Yunliang asked Pang Xiujuan doubtfully, "What did mother tell you? You're talking nonsense. I'm telling you, I must buy this land."

"Knowing you were going to buy land, didn't I specifically tell my mother to pay attention to it?"

After saying this, Pang Xiujuan looked at Ye Yunliang guiltily.

However, she was lucky today and escaped.

After Pang Xiujuan made such a fuss early in the morning, Zhang Juexia felt extremely unlucky and was busy cleaning the house.

Ye Beixiu's face was not good either. "As for my mother, let's just make it clear with grandpa and grandma and just call her Third Aunt."

"If you agree, I have no objection."

"Okay, I'll talk about it another day."

Zhang Juexia was busy as hell. She was asked to sweep every corner of the house and wipe every place that could be wiped.

As she was gasping for breath from exhaustion, she heard the sound of horse hooves outside.

Zhang Juexia put down what he was holding and prepared to go out and take a look.

"Excuse me, is this Zhang Juexia's home?"

Zhang Juexia recognized the voice and replied with a smile, "It's Shopkeeper Yao, come in quickly!"

Shopkeeper Yao entered the yard and saw Zhang Juexia. He pointed at her and said, "Where have you been these past few days? It's really hard for me to find you. Come on, pack up and come back to town with me."

Zhang Juexia pulled Manager Yao into the house and said, "Even if it's a big deal, you have to rest and have some tea before returning to town!"

"I can't wait any longer. Hurry up and call your husband. We can talk on the way."

Manager Yao rarely put on such a serious expression, and Zhang Juexia didn't dare to be vague. She asked Ye Beixiu to drive the carriage.

Shopkeeper Yao refused to allow it, saying, "Don't waste your time. I'll find a carriage to take you back this afternoon."

Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu were pulled into the carriage by Manager Yao and soon they were on the road again.

Zhang Juexia sat down, "Manager Yao, you're not planning to kidnap me and my husband, are you? I'm telling you, we don't have any money!"

Shopkeeper Yao waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't have such thoughts, please don't wrongly accuse me."

"Then tell me, what do you want from me?"

"The thing is, Liu Hong found a shop in town and said he wanted his wife to open an embroidery shop, but he and the landlord couldn't agree on the price.

I don't want to be a competitor to Liu Hong and his wife, so I want you to take over the shop."

This happened a bit suddenly, and Zhang Juexia was stunned.

Seeing his wife's expression, Ye Beixiu did not express any opinion.

All I could hear was the sound of galloping horses outside.

Seeing that the couple remained silent, Shopkeeper Yao said, "I know about this, and I was a little abrupt.

But I just don’t like them both, they are complete hypocrites.”

"But I've also told Shopkeeper Yao that I'm not interested in this and don't want to be a competitor with Shopkeeper Yao in town."

Shopkeeper Yao glared at her. "Doing the same business makes us competitors? Then have you ever thought about joining forces?"

I am not the kind of person who can't tolerate others making money. I just don't want to give Liu Hong and his wife the opportunity to open a shop.

Otherwise, with their cleverness, they will destroy the balance of the town.

Even more families who rely on embroidery for a living will have a hard time.”

Zhang Juexia still believed what Manager Yao said.

Her purpose of going to the county town was to help the people in the village learn how to make a living.

She immediately made the decision, "I'll take over this shop."

"You? You haven't seen it yet, don't act rashly, watch it first."

"Hasn't Manager Yao already checked it for me?"

"You are such a devil."

"This shop is not far from my shop, just a few shops away!

He used to be a cook, but when he got old, he returned to his hometown to retire.

After the tenant moved out, the original owner renovated the house and furnished it with new furnishings.

The owner of this house is out of town and doesn't come back often."

"Why did Liu Hong's negotiations with the landlord fail?"

"It's specifically the price! The landlord wants twelve taels of silver per year as rent.

He insisted on giving the other person ten taels of silver and threatened that no one would dare to take over the shop if he liked it.

Who does he think he is? I don’t believe this, so I want to drag you into this.”

"Shopkeeper Yao, is his shop for sale?"

"You want to buy it."

"I have this plan."

"Then let's go ask then."

In the carriage, only Manager Yao and Zhang Juexia were talking, and Ye Beixiu was standing by, just listening quietly.

"I haven't had a good night's sleep these past two days. I've been thinking about this every day. You're not at home, and I'm so anxious."

"I'm here to save the kind-hearted Shopkeeper Yao."

Shopkeeper Yao started wiping away his tears while smiling.

The carriage stopped at the shop that Manager Yao mentioned.

Shopkeeper Yao accompanied Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu into the shop to check it out.

The owner of the shop is named Liu Xia, who is about 30 years old. He speaks in a polite manner and should be a scholar.

"This shop was left to me by my father, but I have no business sense, so I have to rent it out."

Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu took a closer look and saw that the layout of this shop was the same as that of Manager Yao, with a shop in the front and a courtyard in the back.

"Mr. Liu, are you selling this shop?"

Liu Xia was stunned. He had also hesitated between selling and renting.

However, there were not many people in the town who could afford to pay so much money at once. Some only came to inquire about renting the house, and no one asked whether to sell it.

Liu Xia couldn't control her excitement. "You want to buy it? To be honest, I live in a neighboring county and usually don't have time to take care of this shop. If the price you offer is right, I would consider selling it."

Zhang Juexia likes to deal with real people, which doesn't take much effort.

"Name a price. If it's right, I'll buy the shop."
