Chapter 123 Asking for Wages
When Liu Hong heard Mrs. Liu crying, he felt unlucky and left the house without looking back and went straight to Manfu Restaurant.
Seeing that the waiter had said a lot of good things to Liu Hong, Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "Bring me two pots of that wine you mentioned, and a table of good food and wine. I won't leave until I'm drunk."
After the young man settled Liu Hong, he ran to the shopkeeper Wan to take credit for it. "Shopkeeper, you are amazing. Liu Hong showed up right after Mrs. Liu left."
Shopkeeper Wan glanced at the waiter and said, "This is the God of Wealth. Please entertain him."
The young man answered yes crisply and ran out happily.
Shopkeeper Wan looked outside and sighed, "I've offended the real God of Wealth. What should I do now?"
Zhang Juexia was depressed all the way and was listless when he returned home.
Ye Beixiu noticed that his young wife was in a bad mood, so he sat down next to her and said, "My dear, what's wrong? Who made you angry? Tell me and I'll help you vent your anger."
Zhang Juexia leaned against Ye Beixiu's body and said, "I ran into a mad dog that was trying to identify its relatives. It barked at me a few times, but luckily, I kicked it away."
"Mad dog?"
Ye Beixiu quickly forced himself to stand up, "Where did you meet that mad dog? If you get bit by it, it will be terrible."
He took the bow and arrow from the wall and said, "Madam, tell me where it is. I will call my brother to get rid of it so that it won't harm people again."
Zhang Juexia laughed heartily at his appearance. "I've dealt with the mad dog. Just sit down now."
"really?"
"How can such a big thing be faked? Husband, come here and let me lean on you. I'm tired."
Ye Beixiu obediently sat next to Zhang Juexia and adjusted his sitting position. "My dear, this is comfortable. If it's not comfortable, I'll move around."
Zhang Juexia rubbed her head against Ye Beixiu's chest, making him feel restless.
He took a deep breath to calm himself.
"Husband, why is your heart beating so fast?"
Zhang Juexia curled up in Ye Beixiu's arms like a kitten, listening quietly to his strong heartbeat.
"Maybe it's because I'm too happy." Ye Beixiu said softly.
"Happy?" Zhang Juexia raised his head and looked at Ye Beixiu with blinking eyes.
"Yeah." Ye Beixiu nodded, "Because you're home."
Zhang Juexia's heart softened, and she reached out to hug Ye Beixiu's waist, "It's great to have a husband."
Ye Beixiu smiled, lowered his head and kissed Zhang Juexia's forehead, "It's better to have you."
The two of them sat hugging each other, enjoying the tranquility and warmth.
"My dear, forget about the unhappy things! In the future, when I am with you, I will make sure you are happy every day."
"Your mouth is so sweet, it must be drinking honey."
"My dear, I didn't drink the honey, but I ate your candy secretly. It's so sweet!"
Ye Beixiu's appearance made Zhang Juexia laugh.
"My dear, you finally smiled. You know what? You look the most beautiful when you smile."
"Don't I look good on weekdays?"
Ye Beixiu shook his head vigorously, "No, no. My wife is beautiful no matter what, but I want her to smile every day."
Zhang Juexia talked to Ye Beixiu for a while, and his bad mood completely dissipated. "Husband, I'm hungry."
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you, and you just have to watch."
"Yeah. You have to cook something delicious so I can have enough energy to pay everyone in the afternoon."
"Ma'am, do you have my wages?"
"Then it depends on how well you cook this meal. If it pleases me, there will be a reward."
"That's all."
Ye Beixiu imitated the exaggerated manner of the waiter in the restaurant and bowed as he walked out.
He swiftly grabbed a chicken from the backyard and snapped it a few times, killing the chick.
Liu Mingda heard the chicken's screams and ran out of the room. "Today, I finally get to eat chicken. However, I don't want chicken soup. I want fried chicken."
Ye Beixiu scratched his head in embarrassment. "Doctor Liu, today's chicken must be whatever my wife wants. She can eat whatever she wants."
Liu Mingda was so angry that his beard stood up. "Hmph, I don't care. I just want to eat fried chicken."
Zhang Juexia came over after hearing the voice and said, "My husband, listen to Doctor Liu and we'll have fried chicken. Wash it and chop it into pieces, and I'll fry it."
Ye Beixiu's hands were very fast. He brought the chopped chicken to the kitchen. "Last time when I was in a bad mood, you made chicken soup for me. I was thinking that I would make chicken soup for you too."
“The fried chicken is good too.”
"The main thing is that my wife still has to fry the chicken, and I'm worried that I won't get paid this afternoon."
Ye Beixiu looked aggrieved, causing Zhang Juexia to laugh so hard that she fell backwards. "Well, this matter is indeed a bit serious. How about this? I say and you do it."
"Okay, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
After dinner, people who were working in the backyard came one after another.
They first whispered, and then looked forward to it.
"I just saw through the crack in the door. The carriage is at home. Bei Xiu's wife should be back from town."
“People have returned, but I don’t know if the things we made have been sold.”
Li Yulan also put down the work in her hands and looked outside. In order to come here to work, she had argued with Qin Pozi several times.
Mrs. Qin felt that since she and Liu Xueyan had both gone out to work, there was no one to do the housework.
In order to prevent Mrs. Qin from being petty, Li Yulan agreed to give her ten cents a day.
She and her mother-in-law each shared five cents a day.
Liu Xueyan also agreed with this. Since she followed Li Yulan to work, she felt that her mood was much better than before.
In the front yard, Ye Beixiu was still holding Zhang Juexia reluctantly, and Zhang Juexia shook his head helplessly.
She had never been in a relationship in her previous life, but she had seen her roommates in love, and she couldn't stand the clinginess of their relationship.
Now she experienced it firsthand.
But, is this man so clingy?
Zhang Juexia was worried that the people in the backyard were waiting anxiously. She broke free from Ye Beixiu's embrace and kissed him on the forehead, "Be good, I'll be back soon."
Ye Beixiu looked at Zhang Juexia aggrievedly, "I just want my wages."
Zhang Juexia took the silver she got back in the morning, and before she had time to put it away, she picked it up and put it in Ye Beixiu's arms, "These are all yours, just wait patiently."
She took the copper coins that Manager Yao had helped her exchange in the morning and went to the backyard.
Li Yulan was the first to spot Zhang Juexia and quickly ran over. "Sister-in-law, that's great! The wages are really going to be paid."
As she spoke, she took the copper coin from Zhang Juexia's hand.
"When have I ever broken my promise? I can't change my promise to everyone at will."
As soon as Zhang Juexia entered the house, he was surrounded by everyone.
That look was really like a wolf seeing meat.
