Chapter 149: Midnight Fright
Ding Man's timidity made Liu Hong lose his temper.
"Master Liu, please calm down. I will definitely pass on your words to our shopkeeper. You see, I am just an errand boy. Please be magnanimous and forgive me."
Otherwise, our shopkeeper will come and will not let me off."
Liu Hong let go of Ding Man's hand, feeling unsatisfied, and kicked the bench at the door. Unexpectedly, he kicked too hard, and the pain made Ding Man grimace and walk away cursing.
After Zhang Juexia watched Liu Hong leave, he let Ye Beixiu drive the carriage away.
"Madam, why didn't you let me into the shop to take a look?"
"If I can't handle a drunk and troublesome person, why should I hire a waiter? My husband, let's go. I don't think this guy will come again in the near future."
"Why?"
"It's boring! The person he's looking for hasn't shown up, and there's not even a rival. If he had any common sense, he would have asked in advance when the owner of this shop would be here. Otherwise, he would lose face."
Ye Beixiu nodded in approval.
Zhang Juexia was thinking in his head that Liu Hong was such a nuisance, how could he get rid of him in one go.
Otherwise, if he gets drunk and causes trouble, she won't be able to do business.
When he returned home, Song Yu had already started teaching.
Seeing that they were studying very seriously, Zhang Juexia did not disturb them.
After dark, everyone dispersed.
Zhang Juexia asked Song Yu, "Are you tired?"
Song Yu shook his head repeatedly, "Just chatting with everyone, the whole day went by so fast!"
"If you need anything, just tell me."
"Big sister, you've said this so many times. If you're not annoyed, I am. I don't want to go out like this. I'll have to trouble you in the future. Don't be polite to me."
Zhang Juexia smiled and felt that he was being a bit too long-winded.
"Sister Song, what do you think of these people in our village?"
"It's only been one day, what can we see?"
Zhang Juexia took out a purse from her pocket. It was a sample she had bought when she went to the county town. She handed it to Song Yu, "Sister Song, can you help me take a look? Is this pattern easy to embroider?"
Song Yu looked at it carefully over and over again, "It's not difficult, but we have to wait until they are proficient in it."
After hearing Song Yu's words, Zhang Juexia felt relieved.
Ye Beixiu had prepared food in the front yard and invited them to come over and eat.
Song Yu pulled Zhang Juexia's arm and said, "You are so lucky! That damn guy of mine, I never had a meal cooked by him until he died. And my mother-in-law, seeing that I didn't give birth to a son, looked at me with disdain every day."
Zhang Juexia comforted her, "Sister, you have such a good skill. You can support yourself even if you leave them. Wait until Sister Jin grows up, and you can enjoy your life!"
"That's true. Think about what life was like before. I won't talk about it anymore. But you know what? Although it's cold in the mountains, the people are nice!"
After dinner, Zhang Juexia asked Song Yu for some advice on embroidery skills before preparing to rest.
Ye Beixiu teased her, "Are you preparing for the exam? You're working so hard."
"If I could take the exam, I would have done it a long time ago. I'm not doing this to avoid being caught off guard. I feel like this matter has been manipulated by someone else. If I don't understand something, how can I communicate with those who know the subject?"
"My wife's words are always so beneficial."
"loquacious."
Ye Beixiu put his face close to her and said, "My lady, my face is so white after washing it today. Please do me the favor of taking a closer look."
Such a handsome face, coming closer to him, Zhang Juexia must be moved!
The two of them tossed and turned until late at night before they finally calmed down.
"Husband, do you want a child?"
Ye Beixiu remembered Liu Mingda's instructions, "As for the child, of course I want one, but wait until you've recovered."
"So do you like boys or girls?"
"As long as it's your child, I like them all."
"Hate it, don't give me a perfunctory answer, tell me the truth."
"Then give birth to a boy or a girl. I think Sister Jin from Sister Song's family is very lovable."
"Um."
Zhang Juexia was thinking, what would her and Ye Beixiu’s child look like?
Before she closed her eyes, she heard a rapid knock on the door, which scared her so much that she shuddered.
Ye Beixiu also got up from the bed. He hurriedly put on his clothes and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll go take a look."
Ye Beixiu ran out of the door. Zhang Juexia was no longer sleepy and simply sat up.
She heard Ye Beixiu open the door, followed by crying.
Who was it this late at night? He was so angry that he ran out of the house and disturbed their sleep.
Zhang Juexia put on his clothes and went to the outer room while complaining, and Ye Beixiu came in with his men.
Pang Xiujuan was seen with disheveled hair, tears streaming down her face as she held Ye Beixiu's hand tightly.
"Xiu'er, my good son. Your third uncle wants to divorce me. He wants to divorce me."
Ye Beixiu tried several times before he finally broke free from Pang Xiujuan's hand.
"Don't cry for now. My Third Uncle wants to divorce you. There must be a reason!"
Pang Xiujuan started crying again.
Ye Beixiu was anxious. "If you don't tell me the reason, I can't help you. Besides, it's the middle of the night, and if you don't sleep, others will have to sleep too!"
Pang Xiujuan tried to pull Ye Beixiu's hand again, but Ye Beixiu dodged her, "Xiu'er, you're the only one who can help me right now. If you give me forty taels of silver, your third uncle won't divorce me. Okay? My good son, you're all I have now."
Zhang Juexia was about to vomit watching this. If you didn’t know, you would really think it was a loving mother and a filial son!
Ye Beixiu's expression darkened considerably, and he frowned, "Mom, how can I possibly have so much silver? Besides, you're asking me for forty taels of silver out of the blue. Even if you sell me out, I can't even come up with it!"
"You have it, and if mother says you have it, then you have it. I've heard from them that your family is probably living the best life in our village right now.
I'm afraid your wife must have earned a lot of money from the needlework she asked them to do.
"Mom, please, please save me. Without that forty taels of silver, your third uncle will really divorce me. What will happen to Beili and Beifeng then? They are still young and cannot lose their mother!"
The more Zhang Juexia listened, the more she felt sorry for Ye Beixiu. She pulled Ye Beixiu aside and said, "If you don't tell us what's going on, why should we give you silver? Forty taels of silver is not a small amount. Besides, our silver didn't come from the wind."
As soon as Zhang Juexia said this, Pang Xiujuan rushed towards her like crazy.
If Ye Beixiu had not been quick enough to protect her behind him, she would have been knocked down by Pang Xiujuan.
"I'm talking to my son, what's it to you? Why are you butting in? You're really rebellious."
Ye Beixiu was furious, "You are not welcome in our home, you'd better leave!"
