Chapter 286 An Unsatisfied Heart

Zhang Juexia patted his chest and said, "This is indeed good news! But, about this matter? Did your aunt tell you personally, or?"

Li Yingyue fiddled with her fingernails, "Sister, of course the less you know about some things the better."

"You? You're so brave!"

"I didn't do anything to kill anyone, I just asked that little girl to pass on messages to me occasionally.

Besides, if I don’t do this, you’ll still be worried and frightened.”

"Don't go back today. I'll give you a chicken drumstick later."

"Goodbye, sister. I'm still thinking about finding a good-looking husband! If you keep eating, I'm afraid I won't be able to find one."

Zhang Juexia deliberately walked in front of Li Yingyue and said with certainty, "Yes, you've gained weight. I'll save a chicken drumstick and feed myself!"

"elder sister!"

Li Yingyue shouted through gritted teeth.

"Calm down, calm down, I still have something to ask you. Are you familiar with Xu Yanchen?"

"Why, did he provoke you?"

"He wants to save me before your aunt does, and he wants to take eight percent of the profits from my shop."

"He deserves it."

Li Yingyue rolled up her sleeves and was about to go out. "I think he really deserves a beating."

Zhang Juexia held her back, "He didn't succeed. I'm worried that with the Xu family's backing, I might suffer in the future."

"Don't worry for now. My uncle will only treat you as a noble for one day, and the Xu family won't dare touch you."

"That's fine. Yingyue, I gave the fried chicken recipe to Zuixianlou, but they will give me a share of the profits.

If you also want to open a shop, I can give it to you, and I don’t want your dividends.

Just consider it as my dowry to you."

Li Yingyue shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, the canned food business has made me very rich, but it has also made me a lot of money.

I no longer care about this small business."

"Just pretend. Since you don't want it, then help me. I want to open a fried chicken shop in the neighboring county. Can you help me?"

"Why don't you open a soap shop and an embroidery shop together? I saw it the other day: some merchants from other places went to the soap shop to buy goods, and they complained that you didn't open a shop somewhere else.

If you ask me, you might as well open one in Qingfeng City.

Then, go to other prefectures, and then, to the capital."

"You have a good idea, but I have to take it slow!"

"If you don't even dare to think about it, forget about doing it."

"You're the only one who thinks too much, but what you said does make sense. Let me think about it."

Li Yingyue stood up to say goodbye. No matter how Zhang Juexia tried to keep her, she shook her head and refused, "I have more important things to do!"

When Ye Beixiu returned, it was already dark. He saw Zhang Juexia sitting in the dark without turning on the lamp, as if thinking about something. He couldn't help but ask with concern, "Madam, is there something wrong?"

"You're back."

Ye Beixiu reached out and lit the lamp. "I've been tired all day. Come with me out for something to eat."

"All right!"

Ye Beixiu didn't eat at home, but took Zhang Juexia out.

As the two of them were walking on the street, Zhang Juexia suddenly felt dazed and had a dreamlike feeling.

"Husband, why do I feel like this is so unreal!"

"What's unreal about that? You must be hungry. I heard they said there's a restaurant up the road that makes delicious mutton noodles. Let's go try it."

Ye Beixiu kept talking and laughing during the meal until Zhang Juexia laughed heartily.

On the way home, Ye Beixiu held Zhang Juexia's hand and said, "My dear, to be honest, the property we have acquired in Yejia Village is enough for us to live on.

If you are not happy, let’s go back to the village.”

"That won't do. If we go back, all your efforts will be in vain."

"I've only been busy for a few days, but you, my lady, have been wronged this morning. I..."

"Oh, you know about that. To be honest, I wasn't unhappy just now, but it wasn't because of that.

He has already been kicked out by us, so why should I be unhappy?"

"Why is that?"

"Because everyone has a discontented heart, Li Yingyue advised me to open a shop in Qingfeng City, but I haven't made up my mind yet."

"My dear, whatever decision you make, I support you. Lately, I'm afraid I really can't help you.

But you have to tell me everything. You can’t hide anything from me!"

"I see. I can't do without you if you're doing the hard work."

Have a good night's sleep.

Zhang Juexia was still asleep when Manager Wan and the restaurant's chef came knocking on the door.

She quickly got up, washed up, and took Manager Wan and the others to the fried chicken shop.

"You didn't come yesterday, I thought you were busy these two days!"

Shopkeeper Wan explained, "I did have something to do yesterday, and I was thinking of sending you a message. But then I thought I could get here today, so I didn't ask anyone else to send a message."

"Manager Wan, are you accompanying the chef at the fried chicken shop, or do you have other plans?"

"I'm fine, but does Miss Ye have any plans?"

"If Shopkeeper Wan doesn't have any plans, I'll take you to Zuixianlou!"

When the Zuixianlou was mentioned, Shopkeeper Wan's eyes lit up, "Miss Ye, do you know Shopkeeper Chen?"

"I've had some dealings with him."

When Chen Quan saw Zhang Juexia coming, he asked the waiter to take them into a private room.

Shopkeeper Wan was filled with emotion. "Zuixianlou is undoubtedly the best! With this decor and service, it's probably one of a kind anywhere!"

"I don't deserve it!"

When Chen Quan heard Manager Wan's praise, he followed him in.

Zhang Juexia introduced them to each other and said, "You are all in the same industry, you can exchange ideas."

Shopkeeper Wan immediately stood up and said politely, "I don't deserve it! I should ask Shopkeeper Chen for advice."

Chen Quan waved his hand, motioning for Shopkeeper Wan to sit down and talk, "To be honest, I've also heard of Shopkeeper Wan's Manfu Restaurant, which is also the best in Jinshui Town.

We were introduced to each other by Mrs. Ye today, so it must be fate.

It would be better to take this opportunity to learn from each other's strengths and overcome our weaknesses.

Manager Wan, how is it?"

"Of course you can."

Zhang Juexia listened to the two shopkeepers talking with great interest.

Chen Quan invited him to stay for lunch. After the meal, Manager Wan was worried about the fried chicken shop, so he hurriedly said goodbye.

"Manager Chen, if you go to Jinshui Town next time, please do me the honor of trying the dishes at my Manfu Restaurant."

"certainly."

Zhang Juexia didn't want to accompany Manager Wan anymore and prepared to go home and rest.

She had just laid down when Li Yingyue came again.

"What did you do at noon?"

"I went to Zuixianlou and introduced two shopkeepers to each other. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"You are such a person that I can't chat with you if I have nothing to do. However, this time, I do have something to do."

Li Yingyue took out a stack of banknotes and placed them in Zhang Juexia's hand, "Count them, this is the dividends from the canning shop for half a year.

Aren't you planning to open a shop in Qingfeng City? I was worried you didn't have enough money, so I sent you the dividends."
