Chapter 212 Planning

Liu Hong was waiting anxiously in the private room.

Zhou Jiu tried several times to persuade him to calm down.

Finally, the words came to his lips, but he took them back.

Liu Hong glanced at Zhou Jiu and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Even if the news gets out one day, I won't betray you. Just keep it in your heart."

"But brother, you have to think about Sanle! He's pursuing a bright future in the county!"

"Him!" Liu Hong's eyes flashed with disappointment, "My life or death has nothing to do with him. This child has been spoiled by me and his mother.

Zhou Jiu, we've known each other for so many years, and when have I ever been so destitute? If I don't do this, I really won't be able to swallow this anger."

"But......"

Liu Hong poured another glass of wine into his mouth. As the wine and meat passed through his intestines, Liu Hong naturally talked more.

"Brother, do you know why I can't swallow this? The prosperous life that the Ye family is living now should have belonged to my family. It should have belonged to my family.

But fate played a trick on us, allowing the man surnamed Ye to take advantage of this.”

Zhou Jiu was stunned when he heard this. How did this involve the Ye family again? Besides, how could the Ye family's life become yours?

This is really getting further and further away.

Zhou Jiu shook his head. "Brother, you've had too much to drink. Let's go back. If Xiao Liu has any news, I'll have him come to your house to look for you."

"No, just wait here. I don't want to go back to that home."

Zhou Jiu asked the waiter to bring a bowl of sobering soup for Liu Hong to drink.

As darkness fell, Lu Xiaoliu ran back to the private room, sweating profusely. "It's done. The people on the mountain said that as long as we pay a deposit of one hundred taels of silver and confirm the people, they will go and do the work."

"God helps me."

After saying this, Liu Hong fell asleep on the table.

The next day, Liu Hong came to his senses. Although he felt a little sorry for the two hundred taels of silver, he still gritted his teeth and decided to get the job done.

Otherwise, he would have no face to live in the town.

In order to raise money, he pawned Fang Lan's jewelry.

Fang Lan pleaded desperately, but he kicked her aside. "You ignorant woman, if I can get this done, the embroidery workshop will belong to our family, and no one will ever steal our business again."

"Master, this is all the valuable stuff we have at home. If you pawn it, we will be left with nothing."

"It's not your place to point fingers at me. As I said, if you can't make ends meet, just sell the land again. It's not like I haven't sold it before."

Liu Hong held the jewelry box, as if he understood something, "You are so good, Fang Lan, you didn't sell these valuable jewelry but sold the land instead, so you still have a backup plan!

I told you that you are not sincere to anyone, and it is true."

Liu Hong pawned Fang Lan's jewelry and got two hundred taels of silver.

After receiving the deposit, Lu Xiaoliu started to get busy.

Zhang Juexia arranged the embroidery business in an orderly manner. On weekdays, if there was nothing big to do, she would not have to show up at all.

She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to plant some fruit seedlings on the mountain.

Although Ye Beixiu moved some fruits from the mountain, she still hoped to buy some fruit seedlings from outside.

This way, there will be more varieties of fruits, and then there will be more varieties of canned food.

She especially wanted to find a yellow peach tree so that she could have canned yellow peaches.

However, Li Yingyue did not reply for a long time, so she asked Qian Yulin, and Qian Yulin also said that he had not received her letter for a long time.

"This child works like a madman, she must be busy. I heard from my master that she has been busy outside. Juexia, if you have anything to say, you can tell me."

Zhang Juexia thought about it and felt that even if she told Qian Yulin about this, she might not be able to help.

"It's okay, auntie, I just miss Yingyue a little bit."

Qian Yulin wanted to say a few more words to her, but Nanny Liu came in hurriedly from outside and whispered in Qian Yulin's ear.

When Zhang Juexia saw Qian Yulin's face change, he knew that something big had happened in the prefecture.

She stood up and said goodbye.

When she left the house, she saw the servants in the house dragging the doctor invited from outside and running staggeringly.

She hurriedly asked the concierge, "But what happened?"

"Our eighth concubine is ill."

Zhang Juexia was shocked.

The doorman then told the story of the Eighth Concubine. "In order to protect the Eighth Concubine's fetus, my master and mistress have spent a lot of money. They send the best medicinal herbs and supplements to her yard as if they were free.

If she can't keep this baby, she will be unlucky."

Another doorman came over and said, "Speaking of which, the Eighth Concubine's mother wasn't a good person either. I heard from the servants inside that the Eighth Concubine got pregnant because she fought with her mother over some banknotes.

At the beginning, her mother made a huge fuss in front of our house in order to get in to see her.

Now he doesn't even show up, which shows that he is a money-oriented person."

"Hey, to be honest, if it weren't for the money, she wouldn't let her daughter marry our master."

"That's true."

Zhang Juexia pieced together the words of the two doormen and understood where Tian Caihong got the money to buy the land.

She looked at the plaque of the Li Mansion and got on Ye Beixiu's carriage.

"Where are we going?"

"go home."

Zhang Juexia still wants to return to Yejia Village to live. She likes the peace that the mountains and fields bring her.

Whenever she finished her work in town, she would ask Ye Beixiu to accompany her back to the village.

Because of this, Shopkeeper Yao had specifically warned her, "We have bandits here too. Although they don't usually come out to harass people, you still have to be careful. There are places to stay in town, so don't go back after dark."

Zhang Juexia agreed with his mouth, but he didn't take Manager Yao's words to heart at all.

On the way, Ye Beixiu asked if there was any progress on the fruit tree issue.

Zhang Juexia shook his head. "Li Yingyue has lost contact. I'm afraid we'll have to figure this out on our own. How about we go to Qingfeng City?"

"As long as you want to go, I will go with you. Now Eryong is able to stand on his own.

Brother Wanfeng can also manage the farm work. Speaking of which, this is all thanks to my wife."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Don't you always say that capable people should be given more work, and knowing how to use people well is the right thing to do? Also, don't use people you doubt, and don't doubt people you use. So, now that I've discovered their strengths, I'm going to make good use of them. That way, I'll have more time to spend with my wife."

Zhang Juexia praised Ye Beixiu with satisfaction.

Ye Beixiu blushed for the first time.

Zhang Juexia laughed heartily.

The two of them were chatting and laughing in the carriage. Someone in the distance saw them and said, "You are such a loving couple. I will send you to heaven tonight."
