Chapter 675: Getting married, but life is not easy

After Zhang Juexia finished packing, he asked Li Yun, "Did Li Yiran say anything?"

Li Yun shook his head, "She didn't say that. Actually, I asked her, but she didn't say it.

I see that Miss Li doesn't look very well!"

"Did something happen again? Never mind, she has to send someone over today anyway, so we'll talk about it then!

Did Yingyue come to see me?"

"Miss Li Yingyue is here too. She left a message saying that you don't need to go look for her, and that she will come to see you when she is free.

She asked you to take good care of yourself and not to overwork yourself."

"Sister Yang, are the gold jewelry I asked you to order in advance all ready?"

"They've been prepared a long time ago. I'll go get them right away. To be honest, I've been worried every day since I've kept these things here, afraid that I might accidentally lose them."

When Li Yun brought these jewellery, Zhang Juexia opened them and took a look. To be honest, they didn't look very good, but they were very practical!

"Sister Yang, please send someone to Li Yingyue to tell her that I will be there this afternoon."

Li Yun responded, but before he walked far, he heard her talking to someone outside.

Soon she came back, "I just replied to Miss Li Yiran, if you have anything, please ask her to come tomorrow!

You can take a rest in the morning, as you will go to Miss Yingyue in the afternoon.

Even a body made of iron cannot withstand such a journey, let alone you are pregnant now."

Zhang Juexia stroked her belly and said softly, "Sister Yang, if no one talks about this, I'll have forgotten that I'm pregnant.

This baby is so obedient, not making any noise at all."

"This is Madam's blessing. When I was pregnant with our eldest son, it really tormented me.

Even now when I think about it, I still feel scared!

I asked Taohua to stew some tonic for you. Can I go to the kitchen to take a look?"

After eating and drinking his fill at home and taking a nap for the afternoon, Zhang Juexia went to Li's house to find Li Yingyue.

When Zhang Juexia arrived, Li Yingyue had already sent someone to wait for her at the gatehouse.

When Li Yingyue saw Zhang Juexia, she lifted the corner of her clothes and trotted over to her, "Sister, you've gained a lot of weight!

Well, it’s good, and you look good too!”

Zhang Juexia pulled Li Yingyue over and looked her up and down, "Why do I see you've lost a lot of weight?"

Li Yingyue touched her face and said, "Maybe I'm busy."

After the two of them entered the house and sat down, Zhang Juexia first took out the gift money and the things prepared for Li Yingyue.

"This gift money was discussed between your brother-in-law and me, and as for the gift, I prepared it for you."

Zhang Juexia gestured to Li Yingyue to open it and take a look. Li Yingyue smiled and said, "It's a gift from my sister, so of course I like it."

After opening it, she was dumbfounded, "This? Sister, this is too expensive."

"Okay, keep it! To be honest, these things look a bit old-fashioned. I'm afraid you wouldn't wear them even if I asked you to.

As for me, thinking that Shen Lingchuan's family background is a bit thin after all, I specially asked Sister Yang to go to the jewelry shop to make it for you.

If you really need silver someday, you can just exchange it for silver. Firstly, you won’t feel bad about it, and secondly, it’s more economical.”

Li Yingyue's eyes were red, "Sister, me?"

"Okay, it's a happy day, we should be happy."

Li Yingyue hummed in grievance.

She has had a really hard time at home recently.

Li Qi was not only wary of her, but also suspicious of her. She didn't know who to turn to when she had her troubles.

After all, she was getting married, so her parents would no longer favor her and would come to talk to her from time to time.

It's nothing more than saying that even if she marries a juren, even if Shen Lingchuan passes the imperial examination in the future.

She also had to count on the support of her family, so that she wouldn't argue with Li Qi and could have a good relationship with him.

In the end, it was still about the canned food business. She was asked not to take it all away, but to give some to Li Qi.

When she asked her mother how much one point was, her mother first said tentatively, it must be split 50-50 at least!

After all, he is your biological brother!

Seeing that she seemed reluctant, her mother changed her mind and agreed to split the profits three ways.

"Yingyue, no matter how well you do, you still have to get married.

Once you marry someone, you belong to that person. Your father and I will still rely on your brother for support in our old age."

Li Yingyue didn't respond, and her mother immediately turned against her, saying that she was greedy and only cared about money but not her family.

Li Yingyue admitted it and did not argue too much.

Her mother failed, so her father came to talk to her.

As they were talking, they brought up this matter again, "Yingyue, the canned food business is the most profitable business in our family, you should give the family a share of the profits.

If a 30% profit split doesn't work, a 20% split should work, right? "

Li Yingyue still didn't nod, but this time she had a good talk with her father about the family business.

"Dad, the canning business is something I just started. How did our family make money before we started the canning business?

The silk shop, the restaurant, the grain shop, and the several farms our family bought, all of them make money.

I have put a lot of effort into each of these businesses. Why don’t you just give me one as my dowry?”

"Haven't I already given you a farm?

Oh, moon, people should be content! "

Li Yingyue gave a wry smile, "Yes, one must be content!

The canned food business was originally given to me by Sister Juexia. She only gave me 10% of the profits so that I could choose a good husband."

"She, Zhang Juexia, can compare with us. Li Yingyue, don't forget, your last name is Li, not Zhang.

You are a girl from our Li family. Have you ever thought that once you leave this family, the money you earn in the future will belong to your surname Shen?

It has nothing to do with us anymore, Yingyue. We raised you up and taught you how to do business.

Can't we share some of the money earned from the canning business?

Can a 10% profit be achieved?

Li Yingyue, your father and mother's reputation is not worth this one percent profit?"

Li Yingyue still refused, "These are all things we agreed upon in the beginning, you can't act rashly.

My brother is not good at business, and mom doesn’t understand business matters, but you do, dad.

As long as you take back the shop run by your brother and run it according to your original ideas, all of our shops will be profitable."

"Li Yingyue, tell your father and me, did you use any tricks to control our shops?

Your brother has only been in charge for a few days. Why is the shop not making any money for no reason?

Li Yingyue was completely speechless, "You don't think about how my brother runs the shop, but you think about whether I have used any tricks in the middle.

Didn’t I kick out the shopkeepers and clerks that I left behind for my brother?

What other abilities and methods do I have? Besides, you have already told me.

I am a daughter of the Li family. Even if I get married, I still have to rely on my parents' support.

Unless I am sick, how could I bring down my own family?"

"But your brother said that you kept all the shopkeepers and employees he fired. If nothing happened, why would you keep them?"
