Chapter 229 Determination

Zhang Juexia didn't treat Ye Beixiu well for two consecutive days. Ye Beixiu felt guilty and acted very cautiously.

After Zhang Juexia delivered the goods, he felt relieved.

Ye Beixiu tried to apologize or express his determination several times, but Zhang Juexia always found excuses to shirk his responsibility.

Now that he saw that Zhang Juexia was free, he suggested taking her out for a walk and selling the soap she had made.

Recently, in order to show off, he made some in his spare time and saved a lot of them at home.

Zhang Juexia thought about it and decided who would have a grudge against money, so he nodded and agreed.

"Then let's go to Shunhe County. I've already found out that Brother Li Dong is also in Shunhe County."

Ye Beixiu drove the carriage and put the things away before helping Zhang Juexia get into the carriage.

After leaving the village, Ye Beixiu stopped the carriage and said, "My wife, the weather is getting warmer. Please sit in the front and we can chat while we travel."

Without waiting for Zhang Juexia to refuse, he opened the carriage curtain and said, "Madam, please!"

Zhang Juexia sat in the front, looking at the beautiful spring scenery in front of him, and the unhappiness in his heart gradually dissipated.

"Madam, I've decided. From now on, I will call her, oh no, I will call her Third Aunt."

Zhang Juexia didn't say anything, just looked at the spring scenery all over the mountains and fields.

"My dear, I was confused about this matter and I haven't gotten over it yet.

Grandma is right, my mind is confused and I can't think straight.

My wife, I was wrong, can you forgive me?"

Zhang Juexia still didn't say anything. Ye Beixiu became anxious. He stopped the carriage, walked forward and hugged Zhang Juexia, "My dear, I know how good you are to me.

A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character. No matter how things change in the future, I, Ye Beixiu, will always be yours."

Zhang Juexia chuckled. This was the rough guy's way of admitting his mistake, without even a soft or sweet word.

"What do you mean you're mine? When you get old and become ugly, I won't want you anymore!"

"My wife!"

Ye Beixiu glared at Zhang Juexia with gritted teeth, "In this life, you have me, and I have you. No one else is allowed."

"No, I like good-looking handsome guys."

Ye Beixiu actually put his mouth close to Zhang Juexia and started kissing her while hugging her.

If there hadn't been a galloping horse passing by them, Ye Beixiu wouldn't have let go.

Zhang Juexia wiped his sore mouth and said, "Are you annoying?"

"If you dare to say such shameless words again, I will do the same to you. My lady, you have such a soft tongue!"

Zhang Juexia turned his head away angrily. Ye Beixiu smiled dotingly, waved the whip and sped up.

When they arrived in Shunhe County, they also stayed at the Fulai Inn.

After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill and rested for a while, they heard Li Dong yelling from outside, "Brother Bei Xiu, are you here?"

Ye Beixiu responded from inside and waited until Zhang Juexia had packed up before leaving the house with her.

Li Dong took the two of them into the private guest room and asked the waiter to serve a pot of good tea and two plates of snacks. They started talking while drinking tea.

This time, Zhao Long had other things to do and couldn't leave, so he came to Shunhe County alone.

Ye Beixiu took the soap out of the carriage. Zhang Juexia motioned for Li Dong to take a look. Li Dong picked up a piece and sniffed it in surprise. "How come there are so many different shapes?"

"Not many, just three kinds: mugwort, flower petals, and ordinary ones. Brother Li, take a look."

Li Dong picked up each one and smelled it. "How's the effect?"

“I tried it at home and it works great.”

Li Dong then looked at Zhang Juexia and said, "It seems that I was right. You did this yourselves, right?"

"Nothing can be hidden from Brother Li's eyes."

Li Dong laughed. "You two are really good. I admire you. I'll take as many soaps as you can get. You told me the truth, and I'll tell you the truth too. This stuff really won't be hard to sell."

The three of them drank a pot of tea and talked about the purse business. Li Dong smiled even more brightly, "To be honest, since I met you two, I've been making more and more money."

“More on that later.”

"I'll give you my good wishes."

"There's something I want to say, Li, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Brother Li, please speak."

"You two are now considered to be somewhat successful people. Have you ever thought about developing in Shunhe County?"

Without waiting for Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu to speak, Li Dong continued, "You know how to make soap. Buy a house in Shunhe County, open a shop in the front, and use the back as a workshop.

If you are worried that the secret recipe will be known to others, just hire a few people and you can open this workshop.

To be honest, as long as your quality is up to standard, you don't have to worry about selling the soap. With the connections I have now, I can guarantee that you can sell as much as you produce.

This is no better than the two of you in the deep mountains and forests, relying on the strength of two people, taking time to do a little and making more money."

Ye Beixiu's heart was moved by Li Dong, and he looked at Zhang Juexia eagerly.

Zhang Juexia thought about it and just said he would consider it.

Li Dong said he was waiting for their good news.

In the evening, Li Dong wanted to treat them to dinner again, but Ye Beixiu declined.

Ye Beixiu had selfish motives. He wanted to stay with Zhang Juexia for a while longer.

When the two were alone together, Ye Beixiu asked Zhang Juexia what he thought about opening a shop. Zhang Juexia told the truth and said he was very tempted.

"Then why didn't you agree to Brother Li?"

"I want to wait a while. Let's go see if Li Yingyue has returned tomorrow."

"Do you still want to cooperate with her?"

"I don't have that intention. To be honest, I'm just setting up this canned food business to attract more investors so that I can climb up the big tree of the Li family.

In this way, no matter what kind of business we do in the future, we will have the final say.

I've given up so much of the profits from the canned food business, so even if they're jealous, they're too embarrassed to make any excessive demands."

"Well, I'm not as good as you in business, I always listen to my wife."

Ye Beixiu scratched his head and looked at Zhang Juexia unconfidently, "Madam, am I really useless?"

"How could you come up with such an idea? To be honest, as long as you are by my side, I feel very at ease. Isn't this also thanks to you?

Besides, a man's ambition is to go far and wide. As our business grows bigger and bigger, we are waiting for you to collect money from us!"

Ye Beixiu's eyes lit up instantly, "Madam, do you really think so?"

"When have I ever lied to you? We've been running around all day. Now get some sleep. We still have a lot to do tomorrow!"

Ye Beixiu happily agreed.

The next morning, Li Dong came to say goodbye and told them that he would be back in a while. He also asked them to think carefully about what he said yesterday. "I just had a bad temper with you and your wife, so I'm kindly reminding you."
