Chapter 195 Good Intentions Lead to Bad Results
Ye Beixiu had just sent the waiter away when he heard voices outside. He quickly trotted over to open the door, "Madam, you're here."
Zhang Juexia smiled and brought Aunt Wang and Xiao Cui into the house.
"My husband has cleaned the house. Auntie, you and Xiao Cui can live in the front yard. It has good light.
The backyard is used to teach apprentices embroidery."
Aunt Wang smiled and thanked Zhang Juexia.
"You've come a long way, you must be tired, take a rest!"
"I wonder, sir, how many days will we have to rest?"
"It's hard to say. I have to prepare before we can officially open the business, but it won't take more than ten days at most. So you and Xiao Cui can take advantage of this time to get familiar with the situation in the town. It can be considered a way to relax!"
However, I will pay you your wages, so you can rest assured, Auntie."
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be worried. I just feel a little guilty towards my boss for taking too long to rest."
"Auntie, we still have a lot of time to spend together. What's the point of saying I'm not ashamed or not? Time will tell. Slowly you'll get to know what kind of person I am."
Ye Beixiu couldn't wait any longer outside and urged her to leave quickly, "Madam, we have to go back to the village today."
"Auntie, my husband urged me to leave, so I'm leaving now. Remember, if you need any help, please contact Shopkeeper Yao. I've already made arrangements."
"knew."
Aunt Wang sent Zhang Juexia out of the gate. After Zhang Juexia walked away, Aunt Wang turned around and went back into the house and closed the gate tightly.
Xiao Cui has made the bed and is ready to go to the kitchen to boil water.
"Mom, this boss is too dishonest. We have never done such rough work before."
"Just bear with it for now. I think Mr. Zhang is someone who is easy to get along with.
We don't have anywhere else to go right now, and for Doctor Liu's sake, we should hold out for a few months. Once those ruthless people have dealt with that matter, it won't be too late for us to return to Qingfeng City."
"I just don't know if Boss Shen still wants us and my mother. The current boss clearly doesn't understand the market situation.
An embroiderer with my skills can earn three taels of silver a month, but you have to start with at least five taels of silver.
She only gave you one ounce of silver, and you didn't even argue with her."
"Silly child, you shouldn't accept gifts without merit. We haven't done anything here yet. You just say you are good at embroidery, but no one has seen it! Good things are worth waiting for, so just take your time.
Mr. Zhang is not the kind of person who is stingy, so let's just work hard."
"She gives us six hundred coins a month to cover our food expenses. To be honest, it's better off hiring an old woman for us. Mother, our hands are precious. How can we do rough work like washing clothes and cooking?"
Aunt Wang thought for a moment and said, "That's easy. I'll go out and buy some snacks. We can have two meals together first. If the boss doesn't come tomorrow, I'll go find Manager Yao and ask her to find us a maid."
"Who will pay for this labor?"
"Let's go! Didn't I tell you that we shouldn't worry too much since we just got here? I haven't seen how you were doing in Qingfeng City before.
Gold will always shine, so don't worry too much about the immediate gains and losses."
Although Xiao Cui was not convinced in her heart, she nodded resignedly under Aunt Wang's strong gaze.
Zhang Juexia went to Manager Yao to give her some instructions and asked her to take good care of Aunt Wang and Xiao Cui.
Shopkeeper Yao responded repeatedly, "You are really brave. You bought this house as soon as you said it, faster than buying a cabbage."
"I need it now! I have everything ready. You have to think about which embroiderers to give me in the next few days. Then I can officially open the business."
"I knew you wouldn't forget this. Don't worry, I've already prepared it for you."
"Thank you. I'll treat you some other day. My husband is waiting outside anxiously. I have to go home quickly. I'll leave this to you."
Shopkeeper Yao waved his hand and said, "Let's go quickly. It's a good thing you found a good husband."
On the way back, Ye Beixiu asked Zhang Juexia whether Aunt Wang and Xiao Cui were reliable.
Zhang Juexia repeated the contents of the letter sent by Liu Mingda to him, "Liu Langzhong said that he is reliable and has good skills. It will not be a waste if he is used well."
"This old man is quite interesting, my lady. You know what, I suddenly felt empty and thought of Doctor Liu. I felt really bad!"
"In fact, this old man is really good. He lives wisely and is also very intelligent.
Outsiders saw him living and eating in our house and thought he was taking advantage of us.
In fact, I think we are taking advantage of him. We can learn a lot from him that we cannot learn in our daily life.
If he hadn't insisted on not teaching us medical skills, I would really like to learn a few tricks from him."
Ye Beixiu looked at Zhang Juexia who was talking non-stop and smiled dotingly, "These medical skills are all learned as a child, how can they be so easy to learn. I heard from Gan Cao that he has been studying medicine with Doctor Liu since he was eight years old."
"Oh, I understand now. Why doesn't Doctor Liu want to accept us as his disciples?"
"Why?"
"You think we're too old and it's hard to teach us!"
Ye Beixiu couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Madam, that makes sense."
Ye Beixiu laughed heartily, and the carriage ran very fast, and soon they arrived home.
Zhang Juexia jumped off the carriage and stretched. "When I drove the carriage myself before, I didn't feel tired. Why do I feel uncomfortable all over when I sit in the carriage now?"
"Next time you drive the carriage."
"Okay, it's not like I don't know how to do it."
While Ye Beixiu was entertaining Zhang Juexia, he was also taking care of Ah Hua and making sure it was well fed and watered.
"You're finally back."
"sister in law."
Liu Wanfeng carried two wild rabbits into the yard. "Beixiu, I don't know what's going on, but there are a lot more of these creatures on the mountain these days. These two came to steal the wheat, and I took the opportunity to catch them. You and your sister-in-law should sell them when you go to town!"
Ye Beixiu didn't take the hare from Liu Wanfeng's hand. "No? A lot?"
"Anyway, there are quite a few. At this time of year, the wild vegetables and weeds in the mountains are just beginning to sprout, but our wheat is growing well, so they come to eat the wheat. Eryong and I have to chase them away several times a day!"
Ye Beixiu slapped his forehead in frustration, "This is really my fault."
Zhang Juexia understood, "That day you said you had settled all the wild rabbits at home, so you let them go back to the mountains."
"I just wanted to raise chickens in the mountains, so I thought of raising rabbits there.
I just forgot that they can not only dig holes, but also run faster. It's okay, what do I do? I'm a hunter, and I'm good at hunting. Tomorrow I will go to the mountains and catch them all."
