Chapter 220

Zhang Wei and Liu Qiang, together with the yamen runners, drove Zhang Defu and Tian Caihong out of Shengxia Embroidery Shop, and told them that if they came here to make trouble again, they would be beaten every time they saw them.

Tian Caihong nodded tactfully, but Zhang Defu remained unconvinced and shouted, "I am her father. If she doesn't acknowledge me as her father, I will go to the county seat and sue her. I don't believe it. There is no place for reason in this world."

Zhang Wei pulled Ye Beixiu aside and asked quietly, "Tell me the truth, is this man Jue Xia's father?"

Ye Beixiu cut to the chase and talked about the important things that Zhang Defu had done.

Zhang Wei sighed, "They're really not good people. But, brother, I have to warn you, since they're making such a fuss, they must have some ulterior motive. I think you should ask them privately."

Ye Beixiu understood everything immediately. He followed Zhang Defu and Tian Caihong, and stopped them in a deserted place.

"Tell me, what are you looking for when you come to see Jue Xia?"

Tian Caihong gave Zhang Defu a look that said "you're looking forward to it". She grinned and moved closer to Ye Beixiu.

Ye Beixiu stepped back in disgust, "Hurry up and tell me, or I'll leave."

"Look at how impatient my uncle is. Compared to my eldest daughter, he is more sensible.

Her father and I don't ask for much. Just buy us twenty acres of land and we'll be done with it.

Otherwise, this matter will never end."

Ye Beixiu looked Tian Caihong up and down. "From what you said, you seem to be too lazy to take advantage of us. I wonder why this is never going to end?"

Tian Caihong chuckled, "Son-in-law is so clever, what else can we say? Anyway, the head of the family and I have nothing to do at home, so we can just sit in front of the shop every day and let everyone know that the owner of Shengxia Embroidery Shop doesn't recognize his parents and is an unfilial son."

"Then have you ever thought about the negative impact this will have on Jue Xia?"

Zhang Defu was unhappy. "What are you thinking about? She doesn't recognize me as her father, and I haven't even settled the score with her yet! Really, what's there to think about?"

"What about the saying that a married woman is like spilled water?"

"What nonsense! Zhang Juexia is my Zhang Defu's daughter, and she can't change that.

I tell you, Mr. Ye, if you don't do what your mother-in-law just said, don't blame me, Zhang Defu, for being ruthless.

Your mother-in-law and I will make trouble in front of your shop every day and make it impossible for you to do business."

Ye Beixiu picked up Zhang Defu and lifted him up like a chicken, "I didn't expect you guys were so desperate. But, let me tell you, I, Ye Beixiu, was not scared.

I will indulge you this time today. If there is a next time, I will not be named Ye unless I send you to jail.

Hurry up and leave."

Ye Beixiu shouted so loudly that Tian Caihong and Zhang Defu's legs went limp.

Ye Beixiu casually threw a small stone, knocking down a bird from a nearby tree. The bird flapped its wings on the ground and died.

"If it happens again, I, Ye Beixiu, will not show mercy. Let me tell you, I treated you kindly at the beginning only for my wife's sake.

But now, you can all break up with my wife, so what can I do?

Don't forget, I'm a hunter by birth. I'm not afraid of wild animals in the mountains, so why would I be afraid of you?"

Tian Caihong and Zhang Defu were frightened by Ye Beixiu. They could only walk staggeringly and supported each other.

This time, both of them had a different opinion of Ye Beixiu. It turned out that he was more terrifying than anyone else and could really kill people at the critical moment!

Ye Beixiu watched as the two men disappeared, then returned to the shop.

Zhang Juexia and Shopkeeper Yao had been talking for a long time, and Zhang Juexia finally remembered to ask Shopkeeper Yao, "How is my sister-in-law doing here with you?"

"Suyun, she's fine, but it's true that girls grow up and can't be kept at home. That guy named Zhao comes here every day!"

"You have to keep an eye on them. Don't let anything happen. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to my uncle and the others!"

"Don't worry, Suyun isn't the kind of child who doesn't keep her duty." Shopkeeper Yao suddenly remembered something, "What's your father-in-law's rank in the family?"

"The second one, but he passed away a long time ago."

"Oh, that's right. A few days ago, a man who claimed to be Suyun's third uncle came to see Suyun."

"But what's the matter?"

"Suyun didn't say anything. Why don't we call Suyun over and ask her? Then we'll know."

Zhang Juexia quickly stopped him and said, "Our family's affairs are a little special. It's better to have less trouble than more. Let's not ask."

Shopkeeper Yao patted his forehead and said, "My brain is getting worse and worse."

"Then if you have nothing to do, my husband is back and we are ready to go home."

Manager Yao sent Zhang Juexia out of the shop, and Zhang Juexia ran back to his own shop and gave some instructions to Li Xi.

Li Xi frowned as he listened to Zhang Juexia's words, "Boss, isn't this a little ill-considered?"

"Don't think about it. Just listen to me on this matter. I've already said something serious to Timon. Do you want to obey or leave? It's your choice!"

Li Xi realized the importance of the matter and nodded in response.

Seeing Zhang Juexia get on the carriage, Ye Beixiu used the excuse of forgetting something to run to the shop and explain to Li Xi, "They probably won't come again, but if they do come to cause trouble, you can't be lenient. Report them to the police if necessary."

Although Li Xi nodded in agreement, he was still puzzled in his heart. Zhang Juexia was nice to everyone, so why was he so cruel to his own father?

And there is Ye Beixiu. Logically, he should be the one persuading him.

He shook his head helplessly, then he looked at Ding Man again, "How much do you know about the Dong family's affairs?"

Ding Man also shook his head. "That's the boss's family affair. I don't know. Otherwise, I'll find time to ask Manager Yao."

"Don't ask. We, grown men, are gossiping behind each other's backs like women. Anyway, we just have to do what the boss tells us to do."

Zhang Juexia asked Ye Beixiu to drive the carriage to the pork shop first and bought a lot of fat before preparing to go home.

"Madam, we still have plenty of oil!"

"This fat has other uses."

"Where did you go?"

Seeing that Zhang Juexia didn't look unhappy, Ye Beixiu said with relief, "I can't hide anything from you. I just went to see my father-in-law."

"I said, I don't recognize him as my father."

Ye Beixiu said seriously, "It just so happens that I don't want to call him father-in-law."

"Then why did you go looking for them?"

"I need to know what they are up to."

"It's nothing but money, what else can it be? We're always making such a fuss, even if they're not annoyed, I'm tired of it. If we don't do something powerful, they'll think we're easy to bully."
