Chapter 351 Madam Shen Returns to the Village

Zhang Juexia and Li Xu said a few words of thanks, and Yang Zhi tactfully handed Li Xu a red envelope.

Li Xu refused to accept it, and Zhang Juexia said with a smile, "Master Li, please don't be polite with us. We were originally going to treat you to a meal for such a good thing.

But I have to go back to the village today for something, so this money can be regarded as my treat for everyone to dinner."

Li Xu then accepted it with a smile, "Thank you very much, Mrs. Ye. Since Mrs. Ye is busy, we will not disturb you anymore. Goodbye!"

Yang Zhi escorted Li Xu and his group out the door. After they left, Li Xu pointed at the carriage at the door and asked, "Has your wife even packed her things?"

"Yes."

Yang Zhi looked at Li Xu respectfully as he got on the horse. He waited until there were no more people around before returning home.

Old Madam Shen had already come out of the guest room. Seeing that Zhang Juexia had unexpectedly received a reward from the prefect, she became curious, "Girl, tell me, why is this?"

Zhang Juexia smiled and said, "Old Madam, this is a long story. I will tell you in detail when we get to the village."

"You're still keeping me in suspense. Okay, okay!"

Zhang Juexia smiled so hard that her teeth were showing and she accepted the two hundred taels of silver given by the prefect. Old Madam Shen sighed beside her, "What a silly girl! Do you know what happened? They gave you two taels of silver. What profit did they get from it?"

Zhang Juexia stepped forward and hugged Madam Shen, "Madam, can't you let me be happy for a while?"

Madam Shen shook her head and said, "Well, it seems that you are not stupid, so I will make you happy.

So, when are we leaving? I've been thinking about all the times you told me about your wonderful yard, and I can't wait any longer."

"I'll leave right away. Madam, you have to wait for me to put the silver away, right?"

Everyone in the room laughed, and Madam Shen pointed at her and said, "What a money-grubber!"

Zhang Juexia took Old Madam Shen back to Yejia Village. Yang Zhi arranged for Daniu and Taohua to go ahead so that they wouldn't be in a hurry when they got home.

When Wang Guilan and Ye Jishun learned that Zhang Juexia was going to take Old Madam Shen home, they started to get busy.

Wang Guilan kept asking Daniu, "Who is this Old Madam Shen?"

Daniu scratched his head and thought carefully, "I heard from my father that it seems to be from Qingfeng City. As for where it comes from, I don't know."

Ye Jishun was getting impatient. "Old woman, stop nagging. No matter who they are, they are all guests. Just get ready quickly."

Wang Guilan didn't stop moving her hands and glared at Ye Jishun. "I'm just asking out of curiosity. What's wrong? You can't ask now. Don't stand here anymore. Go to the old house and ask the eldest daughter-in-law and Qin'er to come and help me cook.

Let the eldest child look after the child first. They have come all the way here, they can’t afford not to have a hot meal!

Ye Jishun agreed and walked away, "I'll ask the boss to kill two chickens and a rabbit first..."

Along the way, Old Madam Shen lifted the carriage curtain, said nothing, and just looked outside quietly.

Zhang Juexia also accompanied her, just looking outside quietly.

She was thinking that Mrs. Shen must be reminiscing about her childhood!

The carriage stopped at Zhang Juexia's house, and Mrs. Shen finally realized, "Are we there yet?"

Zhang Juexia was about to step forward to support her, "Madam, we're home. I'll help you get out of the car."

"well."

Lihua also helped Zhang Juexia and helped Madam Shen get off the carriage.

After Madam Shen stood firm, she said, "I'm really old. I've only been sitting in the carriage for a short time, and I feel uncomfortable all over."

"That's right."

Wang Guilan walked out of the yard to greet Mrs. Shen. After hearing what she said, she immediately agreed.

Old Madam Shen looked Wang Guilan up and down and said, "You must be Juexia's grandmother!"

"You must be Madam Shen! Please come in. It must have been difficult for you to come all this way here."

Wang Guilan walked forward, took Mrs. Shen’s hand, and walked inside.

Old Madam Shen did not despise her and let her be pulled into the house.

"Please take a seat and have a cup of hot tea. Even though it's hot, at our age, it's still comfortable to drink some hot tea."

Madam Shen thanked Wang Guilan, politely took the teacup, and after taking a sip of tea, she said, "Well, the tea brewed from this mountain water is still the best."

After hearing what Mrs. Shen said, Wang Guilan couldn't stop smiling.

After all, it was the first time that the old lady from a wealthy family came to their house, so she didn't dare to neglect her.

But I was also afraid that she was too high up and people would be afraid to approach her.

But seeing how approachable Madam Shen was, Wang Guilan finally put her mind at ease. "Madam, please take a rest first. They're still cooking in the kitchen. I have to go check it out!"

Zhang Juexia stood up and said, "Grandma, I'll go help too!"

Wang Guilan quickly stopped her. "The old lady has come all this way, you have to accompany her. What's the matter? You still don't believe that grandma can't prepare a table of food for you."

Zhang Juexia smiled and said, "Of course I believe it, but I feel bad about making you so busy."

"What's there to be sorry about? I'm not familiar with the old lady. If we were, it would be your turn to accompany her for tea.

Just sit in the room and relax, the meal will be ready soon."

Wang Guilan's words instantly increased Old Lady Shen's favorability towards her. "Then I'll trouble you. The maids I brought with me are also good cooks. Let them help you."

"No one needs it. They are guests too. We have been preparing this meal for a while and it will be ready soon.

However, the food in this mountain is simple and plain, so I hope the old lady won’t despise it.”

Mrs. Shen had already drunk a cup of tea, and her throat was no longer dry. "Look at what you said. Since I came to your house, there is no reason for me to despise me. I am sorry to cause you trouble."

“No trouble, no trouble…”

Wang Guilan waved her hand and went to the kitchen to busy herself.

Madam Shen glanced at Zhang Juexia and said, "You are a lucky person. Ye Beixiu's family is good.

Having a sensible old man at home is better than anything else."

Zhang Juexia nodded happily.

A trace of sadness welled up in my heart. Old madam, you haven't seen Ye Beixiu's biological mother. If you had seen her, you probably wouldn't say that.

"I remember you said that Ye Beixiu has a mother, why haven't I seen her?"

What you worry about is what comes true.

Zhang Juexia chuckled, "She lives in the village, maybe she's busy?"

Madam Shen glanced at her a few times, meaning, "Don't even think about hiding it from me..."

"Actually, Madam, I can't explain this to you clearly in just a few words. After Ye Beixiu's father passed away, his mother remarried his third uncle, so..."
