Chapter 443 Madam Shen is jealous
Li Yingyue didn't feel hungry at all, as she had already been fed by Chen Lingchuan's sweet attack early in the morning.
She shook her head and said, "Sister, you should eat it all! I'm full."
Zhang Juexia was not modest either. Recently, her appetite has indeed increased a lot compared to before. It may be because she worries too much and walks too much!
As she ate, she said contentedly, "If I had known I could find you a marriage and save so much food, I should have asked the old lady earlier and let her worry about your lifelong affairs."
Li Yingyue knew Zhang Juexia was teasing her, but she didn't get angry. "Sister, are you thinking about your brother-in-law too?"
"Of course not. So, let's finish our business as soon as possible so that we can go home quickly!"
"I'll be done with my work in about three days. Sister, how about we set off in three days?"
Zhang Juexia calculated in his mind, "Okay, I'll do as you say.
I said, you are in such a hurry to go back, is it because Chen Lingchuan is anxious to come and propose marriage? "
"Well, he said the sooner the better, so as to avoid any more trouble."
"He really said that?"
"Well, he just came to me about this. He said his mother's health isn't very good and she's been hoping he'll get married soon."
The more Li Yingyue spoke, the lower her head lowered.
Zhang Juexia clapped his hands on the table happily, "Well, I've been out a few times, but this trip to Qingfeng City was the only one that wasn't in vain.
I have to earn more money to prepare your dowry."
Li Yingyue stamped her feet shyly. "Sister, I told you everything, but you just make fun of me."
Zhang Juexia patted Li Yingyue's shoulder and said, "Alright, don't be shy. To be honest, you are already of marriageable age. Instead of marrying according to your family's arrangements, you might as well choose someone you like and marry him or her."
"Sister, unfortunately, I didn't choose either!"
"Why, do you still want to choose? How about I go to the Shen's Grocery Store and tell Shen Lingchuan that my sister didn't like you and wants to choose again."
"elder sister......"
Zhang Juexia was chased out of the door by Li Yingyue. Zhang Juexia said, "I promise, I won't tease you anymore, okay?"
We still have business to do!
After finishing your work, you will have to wait for your ideal husband to come and propose marriage. "
Zhang Juexia grabbed the hem of her skirt and ran out after saying this.
Li Yingyue stamped her feet anxiously and went to get busy.
Zhang Juexia first went to the shop that Gao Xing mentioned and delivered the letter to Gao Xing.
He then found the post station and delivered the letters to Shopkeepers Yao, Li Xi, and Ye Beixiu.
After finishing these, she continued shopping and doing market research.
In order to rush back to Shunhe County as soon as possible, Zhang Juexia had not seen Li Yingyue for many days.
Zhang Juexia decided not to wait for Li Yingyue any longer. She took an entire afternoon off to accompany Old Madam Shen to watch a play and have dinner.
When Old Madam Shen asked her how she was doing, she just told her that she had some idea in mind, but she had to go home and think about it slowly.
"Well, you young people are bound to act impulsively. There are really not many people who can handle things as calmly as you do."
Zhang Juexia chuckled and thought to himself, I'm short of money. If I had money, I wouldn't be so timid.
Madam Shen seemed to be able to see through her thoughts and said, "If you are short of money, just tell me."
Zhang Juexia was stunned, then he smiled and interrupted, turning the topic to Li Yingyue's marriage.
"Old Madam, did you already have this plan when I mentioned Yingyue to you?"
Madam Shen did not deny it, "I guess so! Lingchuan is such an outstanding young man. His only disadvantage is his family background.
If his father were still alive and his mother was capable, he wouldn't be in such a state of being neither high nor low, even if he passed the imperial examination and still hasn't married."
"This might be what is called fate! In order to have the final say in her marriage, Yingyue started the most profitable business in her family.
Mr. Shen might also be waiting for her."
“Well, to be honest, I didn’t expect Yingyue to agree.
However, since she agreed, it shows that this child has vision and looks beyond the present.
The Lingchuan family's life is just average now, but I have a feeling that once Yingyue gets married, their life will change dramatically."
"Old Madam, when Yingyue gets married, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of her. Please advise her if she encounters any problems."
Madam Shen glanced at Zhang Juexia and said, "I was the one who arranged Yingyue's marriage. If she doesn't live well, I will be the first one to object.
You don't have to tell me these things; I already know what to do.
However, the relationship between you two sisters is truly enviable!"
Zhang Juexia deliberately smiled and asked, "Old Madam, are you jealous?"
"Jealous? A little bit. If it were my wife's business, would you be so concerned about it?"
"Of course, after all, the old lady is also my good friend!"
"good friend......"
Old Madam Shen muttered to herself and was very happy that Zhang Juexia called her a good friend.
"Well, you and I are good friends."
Zhang Juexia told Mrs. Shen that she was going home and would come back to play with Ye Beixiu when he took the provincial examination.
Old Madam Shen brought up the matter of letting the couple live in the Shen Mansion again.
Zhang Juexia did not hide anything this time and told Old Madam Shen that he had bought a small courtyard in Qingfeng City.
Madam Shen insisted, “Then you must stay in my Shen Mansion for a few days.”
Zhang Juexia wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Old Madam Shen, "Do you know why I insisted on letting you and your wife live in my Shen Mansion?"
Zhang Juexia shook his head.
Old Man Shen was so angry that he pointed at her forehead and said, "You don't even know this. I doubt how you managed to build your business."
Zhang Juexia chuckled, "I've also thought about what the old lady said, and I've thought about it over and over again, but I can't figure out the reason.
I think I’m lucky.”
“Lucky, that’s a reason.
Juexia, have you ever thought that when Bei Xiu came to take the exam, you were in and out of our Shen family, so would someone think you were a member of our Shen family?"
Old Madam Shen made an expression that said you understand and looked at Zhang Juexia.
Zhang Juexia understood instantly, "Bei Xiu and I originally discussed that we didn't want to trouble you.
I listened to you and I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again.
My husband and I will save a lot of trouble if we live in the Shen Mansion. We can even avoid some social events if possible."
"Yes, I like your enthusiasm.
Zhang Juexia pretended to be aggrieved, biting her lip, and looked at Madam Shen pitifully, "Madam, please don't look down on me for being stupid."
Madam Shen laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward. "With your character, who would dare to look down on you for being stupid?"
