Chapter 159 A Good Show
Zhang Juexia originally planned to stay in the county town for at most one day and then go home.
But she overestimated the Liu family's ability to raise money.
"Isn't the Liu family a well-known wealthy family in town? Why is it so troublesome for such a small amount of money?"
Zhang Juexia muttered that she had almost bought all the New Year's goods and wanted to go home quickly to celebrate the New Year.
"If the Liu family doesn't send money tomorrow, we'll go home."
"Not waiting anymore?"
“Actually, I’m not waiting for anything. I just want to see what the status of Liu Hong, who has always been arrogant, is in the Liu family.
However, it seems that his status is not that high.
Forget it, if his family wants him to spend the New Year in jail, then so be it! "
Ye Beixiu always listened to Zhang Juexia. "Then I'll go feed Ah Hua, and we'll go home tomorrow."
"Yes. Go quickly. After you're done, we still have to go and tell the officials at the county government office before we can leave!"
Zhang Juexia went back into the room and wrote a letter to Li Yingyue. She felt melancholy as she wrote. If she had known this, she would not have thought of any recipe for making money.
Li Yingyue is obviously a lady from a wealthy family, but now I don’t even have time to talk to her.
But the Li family was happy. The canned food business run by Li Yingyue should be the most profitable business of the Li family!
Zhang Juexia put the gift he bought for Li Yingyue and the letter together and prepared to give them to the doorman.
Before she left the house, she heard the doorman's announcement.
She hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him.
When the visitor saw Zhang Juexia, he handed her a letter respectfully and said, "Our wife told me to return to the town after I get Miss Zhang's reply."
Although Zhang Juexia had some doubts in his heart, he still opened the letter and started reading.
"Have some tea and take a rest first. I'll be back soon."
Ye Beixiu heard someone talking and rushed over from the backyard.
Zhang Juexia handed the letter to Ye Beixiu, "My husband, I need your opinion on this matter."
Ye Beixiu took the letter and thought for a moment after reading it. "I think it's feasible."
"I think it's feasible, but I feel uncomfortable thinking about the Liu family using my money to redeem Liu Hong from prison."
Ye Beixiu raised his lips, "What's the big deal? Don't you think about it? Usually, the land costs 16 taels per mu. Now you can buy it for 10 taels of silver. It's still worth it."
"I mainly think that this land is adjacent to the thirty acres we bought earlier, so it will be convenient to take care of."
"Then let's go tell the Li family and ask them to reply to Madam Li as soon as possible."
"Um."
Ye Beixiu accompanied Zhang Juexia to the gatehouse and told them their plan.
The man smiled and said, "Miss Zhang is just as our Madam expected. Our Madam said that she will advance the money for you first, and it won't be too late to give it to her when you return to town to get the land deed."
Zhang Juexia took out a few ounces of silver from his purse and gave it to the man, "Thank you for your trouble."
The man took the silver without hesitation, bowed to them, and left.
Zhang Juexia hoped that the Liu family could finish selling the land today so that they could go home tomorrow.
The thought of this made her feel happy.
She gave the gift and letter she had prepared for Li Yingyue to the doorman.
So he took Ye Beixiu shopping again.
She didn't plan to come to the county town before the New Year, so she had to buy everything she wanted!
She stopped by Dejitang on the way. When Liu Mingda's wife saw them, she first wiped her tears and then asked someone to prepare some things for her to take back to the village.
Zhang Juexia invited Mrs. Liu to go back to Yejia Village with her, but Mrs. Liu shook her head repeatedly.
"I would like to go, but I have a lot of things to do at home! Besides, if I go, those people will know my master's whereabouts.
My master is staying at your house, and I feel very relieved."
Zhang Juexia and Mrs. Liu chatted about some family matters, then found an excuse to leave.
Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia had heavy expressions and were silent along the way.
After returning to their residence, the two felt bored and went to bed early.
After breakfast the next day, Zhang Juexia was looking forward to the arrival of people from the county government.
It was almost noon, and there was still no one around.
Zhang Juexia decided to go and take a look with Ye Beixiu.
Before I even reached the county government office, I saw another big show.
Liu Sanle's daughter-in-law Li Yiran was arguing with Mrs. Liu at the gate of the county government office.
Zhang Juexia was not interested in this kind of family affairs at all, but when he thought about it being the Liu family's business, he couldn't help but feel curious.
She and Ye Beixiu found a secluded place and listened carefully.
Mrs. Liu came to the prison to pick up the person with the money raised from selling the land.
But Liu Sanle's wife Li Yiran was no longer calm after she learned about this.
Why did her family members refuse to give her money when she asked for it, but her father-in-law Liu Hong had clearly committed a crime, but her family would rather sell the land than get him out of jail?
The more she thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became. She blocked the gate of the county government office early in the morning, waiting for someone from the Liu family to come so that she could take the silver into her own hands.
Mrs. Liu definitely would not give the money to Li Yiran.
Li Yiran refused to give in, implying that Liu Hong had brought this upon himself, so he should just stay in jail!
Mrs. Liu was not happy when she heard this. She stepped forward and slapped Li Yiran in the face. "Useless thing, how dare you say such things? Bah, I really don't understand why our family spent so much money to marry you home?
My master is in jail. Not only can your family not help at all, but you even dare to come and ask for money.
I think it would be better for my son to divorce you and save him the trouble."
Li Yiran had never been so angry before. She put her hands on her hips and pointed at Mrs. Liu, "Go ahead and divorce me! If your family doesn't divorce me, you're the bastard!"
The officials in the county government all shook their heads and sighed. This girl was a well-known troublemaker in the county, and no one who knew her well dared to propose marriage to her.
This family is still so reckless!
But think about it, if I wasn't reckless, how could I have smashed someone else's shop and ended up in jail?
It’s true, people from the same family are similar.
The officer was delighted when he thought of this.
An old official couldn't stand it any longer and kindly reminded Li Yiran, "Madam Liu, your father-in-law is in jail, and your mother-in-law must be unhappy. I think you should be more quiet and give in to her."
Li Yiran not only refused to listen, but also snorted coldly, "Why should I give in to her?"
Mrs. Liu glared at Li Yiran, then glanced at Liu Sanle, who was standing there like a quail, and said angrily, "Liu Sanle, if you are still a man, come with me to pay the fine and get your father out of jail."
Li Yiran was not to be outdone. "Liu Sanle, why don't you try to move one?"
When Liu Sanle was in a dilemma, the old official led Mrs. Liu into the county government office and said, "You are here to save people. Why are you nagging them? Do you think the prison is a good place? Go there quickly, pay the fine, and go through the formalities to take the people home."
Don't waste time, it will be evening by the time you finish this."
