Chapter 874 Why Are You So Cruel?

Tian Caihong finally found a time when Zhang Defu was not at home and ran to the town.

She told Zhang Qiuye about Dahe Village's plan to raise fish.

Zhang Qiuye was worried because Zhou Jiu hadn't looked for her in the past few days. When she heard Tian Caihong's words, she replied impatiently, "Are you annoying? It's just raising fish, isn't it?

They just raise...”

Zhang Qiuye asked Tian Caihong, "What did you say about raising fish?"

"Yeah, are you stupid? I'm telling you, if you weren't my daughter, I wouldn't tell you this!

Do you know who is behind this?"

"Mom, are you here to make fun of me?

I'm telling you, you can only say this to me, but never tell anyone else, or you'll be laughed at."

Seeing that Zhang Qiuye didn't take it seriously, Tian Caihong was so angry that she really wanted to scratch her.

"I can understand this, why don't you understand it yet?

If they can't sell the fish, why would they put in all the effort?

Someone must have promised the village some benefits, so they would do this."

Zhang Qiuye seemed to understand something after Tian Caihong mentioned this. "You mean, the person behind the scenes is the one who collects the fish?"

"Yes, you finally understand."

"But who would buy so many fish for no reason?

I just like to eat them, so I just pick a few from the river and that’s enough for me.”

Tian Caihong reminded Zhang Qiuye, "Is there any restaurant in the city that can make this and sell it to everyone?"

Zhang Qiuye was just about to say, who has so much money that he can't spend it all, why eat that stuff, but then he remembered what Zhou Jiu said when he entered the city that day.

"Could it be that the person behind this is Zhang Juexia?"

"My girl, you finally guessed it right this time.

You don’t know that now everyone in Dahe Village regards Zhang Juexia as a big shot. They think she can make everyone live a good life.

I just don't understand why there are so many people in the village, and how can they live a good life just by raising fish in a few ponds? "

Zhang Qiuye kept twisting the towel with his hands and complained to Tian Caihong uncalmly, "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter earlier?"

"You heartless bastard, it's not too late for me to tell you now.

Even so, I still ran away secretly. Your father has been watching me very closely lately.

Well, I don't want to waste time talking nonsense, I have to go back."

Tian Caihong was about to leave when Zhang Qiuye called out to her, "Mom, isn't it okay here?"

"Okay, I didn't say it's bad!"

"Then why did you return to Zhang Defu? I remember you told me that you didn't have Zhang Defu in your heart."

Tian Caihong covered Zhang Qiuye's mouth with her hand, "Don't say anything nonsense.

It doesn't matter what you have in your heart. You will get married eventually, and your mother can't be a burden to you.

Besides, don’t you also need to ease the relationship with Zhang Juexia now?

As long as I am Zhang Defu's wife, your mother, Zhang Juexia, no matter how capable she is, must call me mother."

Zhang Qiuye was moved by Tian Caihong's words. Her eyes were red and she wanted to pull Tian Caihong aside to say a few words.

Tian Caihong didn't have time to talk to her, "I'm getting older, and some things suddenly become clear to me.

Just live a good life with your Zhou Lang!

I ran out secretly to tell you this.

I have to go back, otherwise your father will be unhappy if I stay here for too long."

Zhang Qiuye gritted his teeth and grabbed a handful of silver from his pocket, "Mom, take these and spend them."

When Tian Caihong saw so much change, her eyes widened. She thought to herself, if I had known she would fall for this, I should have said some cheesy words earlier.

"My daughter, it's not easy for you to live alone.

Mom is not short of money, keep it for yourself!"

Zhang Qiuye looked at Tian Caihong with tears in her eyes, "I know that mother treats me best."

Tian Caihong pushed the silver coins towards Zhang Qiuye and said, "Your life is not easy either. You must spend this money carefully."

Tian Caihong stared at Zhang Qiuye eagerly, hoping that she would take out some more money from her pocket.

Tian Caihong had thought it all out. After Zhang Qiuye took out the silver, she would say a few polite words and then put the silver away.

After all, Zhang Qiuye is not so generous very often.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiuye took it seriously, collected the silver coins and put them in his pocket.

"Mom, don't worry, I know your good intentions, and I will never waste the money.

When you run out of money, ask me for it.

Mom, aren’t you in a hurry to go back to Dahe Village?

Do you want me to ask someone to call a carriage for you?"

Tian Caihong was hurt by the stingy Zhang Qiuye. "No, I don't have much money. It's better to take the ox cart."

After Tian Caihong left, Zhang Qiuye was so angry that she pointed outside and said, "Tell me, is she interesting? She was the one who said she didn't want money, but now she's blaming me."

The servants in the room lowered their heads as much as possible to reduce their presence, as if they had not heard what Zhang Qiuye said.

Because they also know that their master is stingy, and if he dislikes them, their wages this month will be cut in half again.

Zhang Qiuye sat in the room for a while and felt that he should tell Zhou Jiu the news that Tian Caihong brought.

She thought to herself, since he didn't come to her, she would condescend to go to him.

After all, Zhou Jiu still pleases her.

Zhou Jiu looked at Zhang Qiuye, who was wearing heavy makeup, and said impatiently, "Why are you not staying at home? What are you doing here?"

Zhang Qiuye pursed her lips in grievance, "I came here for a reason. My mother came to tell me today that Zhang Juexia and the people from my mother's village have started raising fish."

Zhou Jiu didn't react at all, but just fiddled with the ring in his hand, "This is a good thing!

It shows that your sister's family business is doing well, otherwise, why would she lead the villagers to raise fish? "

"Zhou Lang, what do you think? Should we build the fish pond before it's even finished?"

Zhang Qiuye made a motion of raising his hand and slashing with a knife, but Zhou Jiu slapped him, "How can you be so cruel!

We are sisters, but your sister is thinking about how to make the people in the village live a good life, while you are thinking about destroying their good life.

Am I, Zhou Jiu, blind to fall for a heartless woman like you?"

Zhang Qiuye looked at Zhou Jiu in disbelief, "You actually hit me, you..."

"Beating you is too light a punishment. I, Zhou Jiu, also come from a poor family.

If someone had given me a hand back then, I wouldn't have...

And you, you also grew up in Dahe Village, and you don't have any feelings for them at all."

Zhang Qiuye pounced on Zhou Jiu like crazy, "Who am I doing this for? It's you.

Zhang Juexia needs fish, so I will cut off her source of fish, so that she won’t be able to earn money.”

Zhou Jiu didn't indulge Zhang Qiuye at all and directly dragged her away, "You are such a fool. Dahe Village is not the only one that raises fish all day long."
