Chapter 458 Suspecting I'm Sick

Early the next morning, Zhang Juexia returned to the county town.

After returning home, Li Yun reported Li Yingyue's engagement to Zhang Juexia.

"Madam, I didn't expect Miss Li to be so lucky. She bypassed the young talents in Shunhe County and found a scholar from Qingfeng City.

You weren't in the county town yesterday, so you didn't know. I went to the market to buy vegetables and everyone was talking about this.

Some people who had placed bets privately were crying.”

"Why?"

"Because they all lost. Who made them short-sighted? They only focused on the young men in Shunhe County and forgot about other places."

After hearing what Li Yun said, Zhang Juexia burst into laughter, "How could I not know that there is such a thing?

Yingyue needs to be careful when going out these two days."

"That's not necessary, after all, Miss Li is marrying a scholar.

Everyone is saying that Miss Li will be an official's wife in a few years!"

"No need to wait for a few years, it will be almost next year."

"Ma'am, you know a lot."

After Li Yun finished speaking, he thought of something else and said, "Madam, you were the one who arranged Miss Li's marriage, weren't you?"

"Sister Yang, you think too highly of me! I don't have that ability. It was Old Madam Shen who acted as the matchmaker."

"That's what I thought! People on the street said it was the Patriarch of the Shen family in Qingfeng City who came to propose the marriage personally.

So, it's right."

Zhang Juexia listened to Li Yun talk while helping her do something.

Ye Beixiu will not be back until the evening, and Zhang Juexia has no plans to go out.

She stayed by Li Yun's side, helping her.

Before long, she was too sleepy to open her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Li Yun chased her to rest.

Zhang Juexia told Li Yun, "Wake me up when it's time for dinner. I just looked at the account book for a while last night. This wouldn't have been a big deal in the past, but I don't know what's happened these past two days."

"Maybe it's because you've been running non-stop. You'll be fine once you've rested."

For the first time ever, Ye Beixiu ran home to have lunch at noon.

The moment he saw Zhang Juexia, he felt particularly satisfied. Zhang Juexia looked incredulous, but still called her husband and asked Ye Beixiu to sit down.

"I just missed you, and I was sure you would be at home, so I rushed back.

However, I have to go back in half an hour."

Zhang Juexia pushed the food towards Ye Beixiu and said, "Hurry up and eat. There's still time."

"Um."

During the meal, neither of them spoke, just concentrating on eating.

After dinner, Ye Beixiu kissed Zhang Juexia on the forehead and said, "My dear, wait for me to come back."

Zhang Juexia nodded with a smile.

After dinner, Zhang Juexia was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes before the food in his stomach was digested. Then he went to bed without caring whether he gained weight or not.

Because Zhang Juexia promised Ye Beixiu, she stayed at home with him during this period.

But she was getting lazier every day, and even Li Yun couldn't stand it anymore.

"Ma'am, how about I go out for a walk with you?"

"Too lazy to move."

"You've been so exhausted from this trip!"

Zhang Juexia didn’t understand either. Why?

Li Yiran came over to ask her a question, and the first thing he said to her when he saw her was, "Why are you fat?"

Zhang Juexia touched his face and tried to argue, "No! Maybe it's because you haven't seen me for several days!"

Li Yiran looked Zhang Juexia up and down, "No, you've just gained weight."

Zhang Juexia was too lazy to talk to her about this anymore and asked her directly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Can you help me look at this account book? I haven't understood it after reading it several times."

After Zhang Juexia took it, he took a closer look and figured out the reason.

Li Yiran was extremely impressed. "So that's how it is. Why didn't I think of it?"

Zhang Juexia flipped through the account book she brought with her again, and the more he looked, the tighter his brows frowned. "Are all your family's account books like this?"

"Well, what else could the account book be? Isn't that how all accountants keep accounts?"

Zhang Juexia asked Li Le to bring the account book of the shop in front. To be honest, when Li Le heard the news, he was so scared that he broke out in a sweat.

It’s not that there’s something wrong with his account book, but ever since Zhang Juexia said a few words to him last time, he’s a little afraid of her whenever he sees her.

But the boss had something to say, and he couldn't hide, so he had to bite the bullet and walk to the backyard with the account book.

"Er Zhuang, keep a close eye on things in the shop. If anything goes wrong, you'll be in trouble."

Zhang Erzhuang was busy as he could not move his feet. When he heard Li Le's sudden shout, he quickly responded.

By the time Erzhuang finished his work, Li Le had already walked away.

Er Zhuang saw Li Le go to the backyard and knew that it must be Zhang Juexia looking for him.

He thought to himself, it would be better to let my sister give you a good scolding.

He is just a shopkeeper, and he is always busy with this or that every day. Alas, Erzhuang sighed when he thought about it.

I originally thought that life would be easier if I worked as a clerk in my sister's shop.

Unexpectedly, Li Le showed no mercy at all.

As soon as he showed the slightest sign of slacking off, Li Le would catch him red-handed.

He was scolded a lot, and the point was that he couldn't make the mistakes that other guys could make.

Other guys can be lazy and steal, but he can't.

Oh, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have asked Sister Juexia to come to the table to eat that day.

Originally, he thought that if he established good relationships in advance, his job would be easier. However, it turned out to be the opposite. It was not easy for him at all.

However, the good thing is that no matter how fierce Li Le is, he will not deduct his wages.

For this reason, Er Zhuang has gritted his teeth and persevered until now.

Li Le met Zhang Juexia with the account book and bowed respectfully. Zhang Juexia waved his hand and asked him to sit down and talk.

"Yi Ran, this is the shopkeeper in our shop. He is not only a good shopkeeper, but also an excellent accountant.

If you don’t understand something, ask him immediately.”

Li Le was very pleased after listening to Zhang Juexia's words.

He answered whatever Li Yiran asked.

Until Li Yin finally understood and went home excitedly to try it out.

Zhang Juexia looked at Li Yiran's back and shook his head, "She's really impatient."

Li Le also laughed.

Zhang Juexia took the opportunity to ask about Erzhuang's situation, and Li Le answered truthfully.

"That's fine. A strict teacher produces a good student. He's just a blank slate right now. He'll learn whatever you teach him."

"Got it, Boss. If there's nothing else, I'll get busy."

Zhang Juexia waved his hand and let him go.

After talking with them for a while, Zhang Juexia was too sleepy to open his eyes.

In her current condition, she herself couldn't help but wonder if she was sick.

She decided not to wait for Ye Beixiu any longer. She asked Lin Yuan to harness the carriage and go directly to Dejitang.

Liu Mingda was busy, so he asked Gancao to check on Zhang Juexia first.

After a thorough inspection, listening, questioning, and palpation, Gancao looked at Liu Mingda very cautiously...
