Chapter 147 Worry

After Zhang Juexia settled down, he prepared to go to the slum to pick up Song Yu.

Shopkeeper Yao waved his hand in annoyance, "Go quickly!"

"I'll come back tomorrow."

Before Zhang Juexia could finish his words, he heard someone outside shouting, "Is Brother Bei Xiu here?"

Zhang Juexia quickly stuck his head out, "Brother Li?"

Li Dong was overjoyed. "Are you really the ones? I was passing by and saw the carriage statue at the door, so I tried to shout out. Great!"

"What's the matter?"

Li Dong took out a letter from his pocket and said, "Miss Li asked me to give it to you."

Zhang Juexia took the letter, and Ye Beixiu also heard the noise in the yard and ran over.

He let Li Dong go to the backyard, and Li Dong was even happier when he learned that this was the new shop he and his wife had bought.

"That's great! Next time I come to Jinshui Town, I'll have a place to drink tea."

"You're welcome anytime."

"When will you open?"

Ye Beixiu smiled and said, "It depends on how my wife arranges it."

Li Dong made an expression that said "I understand" and followed Ye Beixiu into the house while smiling.

Zhang Juexia opened and read Li Yingyue's letter. Everything was as she expected. She really didn't have time to help her with the embroiderer's affairs.

She originally wanted to entrust it to her aunt who was the wife of a county magistrate, but after receiving her letter, she did not do it.

At the end of the letter, Li Yingyue specifically asked whether she had a smooth journey out of the city that day.

It was said that bandits had entered Shunhe County, and that day a suspicious person was discovered and the bandit leader was almost caught.

Unfortunately, he got away in the end.

After Li Yingyue said this, Zhang Juexia's heart began to beat fast, and he was very worried about her safety.

However, Li Yingyue told Zhang Juexia that she was surrounded by first-class guards and there was no need to worry about her.

She also specifically reminded Zhang Juexia not to stay up too late when running back and forth between the town and the village.

If the shop opens, you can invite Qian Yulin. She has already written to inform her of everything.

After reading the letter, Zhang Juexia immediately wrote back to Li Yingyue and asked Li Dong to help take it to the county town.

Li Dongzheng and Ye Beixiu talked enthusiastically about the bandit incident in Shunhe County. He reminded them again to be careful when going in and out.

"However, you don't need to worry too much. These bandits must have come down from the mountain because it was winter and they were short of food and clothing.

I've been doing business for so many years, and I've never come across them."

After Li Dong finished speaking, he looked around again and added in a low voice, "This bandit is also a spy who kills the rich and helps the poor. We are not qualified enough."

Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia gave a smile that was uglier than crying. "I hope it's as Big Brother Li said! We still have things to do and need to rush back home today, so we'll leave first."

Li Dong didn't say anything more. He put the letter away and went out with them.

Zhang Juexia told Manager Yao to keep the door closed on weekdays.

Manager Yao said the same thing as Li Dong, that is, there is no need to worry, these bandits still have consciences, and they have been like this for many years.

Everyone in the town is living in peace.

Shopkeeper Yao pulled Zhang Juexia aside and whispered, "Even wealthy families like the Li family voluntarily pay tribute to them every year."

"really?"

"Otherwise, we would have lived in peace for so many years."

Although Zhang Juexia was confused, he still nodded.

"You guys should hurry up and pick up Song Yu. After you arrived, I asked the waiter to send her a message, asking her to pack her things. Don't let her wait anxiously."

Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia arrived at the slum, and the people in the slum helped Song Yu put the things on the carriage.

An elderly woman also advised Song Yu, "You have met kind people, so just live with them peacefully.

If they come to cause trouble again, we will not give them face anymore."

Song Yu wiped her tears and spoke politely.

Her daughter Jinjie also said goodbye to her little friends.

"Jin Jie'er, where are you going?"

"Why are you asking her where she's going? Are you going to her grandparents' house to tell on her?"

The child cried aggrievedly and shook his head, "I didn't do that. I just wanted to know where Sister Jin went so I could play with her later."

The friendship between children is so pure.

Zhang Juexia smiled and said to them, "Next time I come to town, I'll bring Jin Jie'er to play with you.

However, this matter must be kept secret! Otherwise, Sister Jin will be taken away by bad guys."

The children nodded seriously.

Song Yu waved goodbye to everyone. When the carriage left the town, she was clearly relieved. "I really have everything thanks to Miss Zhang. Otherwise, Jin Jie'er and I wouldn't have had a peaceful year."

"We can consider this as helping each other. You don't have to feel restrained when you come to our house. Just treat it like your own home."

Song Yu embraced Jin Jie'er and nodded.

"Is that my son-in-law driving the carriage outside?"

"Um."

Song Yu was a little embarrassed. "Look at me, I'm so clueless, calling you girl all the time. I hope the uncle won't be angry!"

“That shouldn’t be the case!”

"Then I will call you Miss Ye from now on, and I will call him Master Ye!"

Zhang Juexia burst out laughing, "Whatever you want to call me, but I'm afraid Master Ye won't like it."

"Why?"

"That would be like calling him old. We are just ordinary farmers. We can just call each other brothers and sisters. It's really not that big of a deal."

Song Yu wasn't the type to be stubborn. "Okay, let's do this. I'll be your honor. You can call me Sister Song. I'll call you Big Sister and Big Brother."

Zhang Juexia nodded with satisfaction.

It was almost dark when I got home.

After Song Yu was settled, they had a simple meal and then prepared to rest.

Song Yu was very satisfied with his residence. "This place is much better than the one in town."

"Next year I'll build another row of houses outside. Then you and Jin Jie'er can move out and won't have to squeeze in with us. It will be even better then."

"Thanks to you, Sister Jin, thank you Aunt Zhang."

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."

Zhang Juexia really didn't want to be thanked all the time, so she waved her hand and said, "Sister Song, you should rest first. If you need anything, just tell me and we'll buy it slowly."

After seeing Zhang Juexia off, Song Yu touched the warm kang, looked at the new things in the house, and hugged Sister Jin with satisfaction and began to cry.

"We, mother and I, have finally come to a happy ending after all the hardships we have endured."

"Mom, do you think my uncle and aunt can find us?"

"I can't find it."

Jin Jieer smiled, took off her shoes, and got on the kang. "Mom, it's great. I like it here."

"Mom likes it here too."

When Zhang Juexia returned to the front yard, he pulled Liu Mingda aside and asked him about the bandits.

Liu Mingda was calm. "These bandits have been around for years. As long as we don't provoke them, they won't provoke us either. Just relax!"
