Chapter 199 Panic
Tian Caihong ran out and looked at the doctor who was being dragged and staggering in front of her, and then she realized that she had caused a big disaster.
After all, Zhang Qiuye was her biological daughter. When she was hesitating whether to go back, she saw Madam Li and Li Jinyi rushing to Zhang Qiuye's yard.
Tian Caihong lost her courage and clenched the banknotes in her hand even tighter, muttering, "My daughter, you are living a good life in the Li family. They have plenty of money, can afford doctors, and can afford good medicine. You will be fine."
Tian Caihong slipped out of Li's house and didn't dare to stay in the town for a moment. She didn't even dare to ride the ox cart and took a small road back home.
The Li Mansion was in chaos at this time.
Li Jinyi didn't dare to get angry at Qian Yulin, but the servants suffered. He would kick anyone he disliked. "Damn it! When I left this morning, everyone was fine. How come everything went to pieces in just a short while?"
Qian Yulin just sat there quietly with a gloomy face and half-closed eyes.
The servants even walked very carefully.
Inside the room, Zhang Qiuye kept complaining of stomach pain. A moment later, the doctor came out, sweating profusely. "This was truly dangerous. I gave him acupuncture, and the bleeding has stopped. You really have to be careful next time, or even a deity won't be able to save you."
Li Jinyi stood up and thanked the doctor, who waved his hand and said, "It is my duty to cure illnesses and save lives. Master Li, there is no need to be polite. I will prescribe some medicine and have someone boil it for the concubine to drink.
You have to take good care of it from now on, and the rest depends on fate."
The doctor left and Zhang Qiuye went to bed.
Li Jinyi didn't want to punish Chuncao in Zhang Qiuye's yard, so he asked the servants to tie up Chuncao and several maids who served in Zhang Qiuye's yard and take them to the front yard.
After some inquiries, Li Jinyi also knew the general situation.
He didn't dare to complain to Qian Yulin. He kicked Chuncao and said, "You did what Aunt Liu told you to do. You are a bunch of useless people."
"That's enough. They are the ones who least want anything to happen to the Eighth Concubine. Even if you sell them all now, it won't help."
"You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life. Come, take these people away and give them twenty lashes each to teach them a lesson."
"Have you ever thought about who will take care of the Eighth Concubine after she's been beaten with twenty sticks?"
Li Jinyi was so angry that he jumped around the room, "This won't work, that won't work, so what do you think we should do about this? Damn it, why is it so hard for me to have a son?"
Qian Yulin glared at him and said to the outside, "Forget the twenty strokes of the cane. Otherwise, there will be no one to serve the Eighth Concubine. Come, take them away and give them five strokes of the cane each to teach them a lesson.
Only after returning can you serve your master wholeheartedly.
Remember, you and the Eighth Concubine are now on the same boat. If she is well, you will be well too. If she gives birth to the child successfully, you will also be rewarded.
But just like today, if you mess up, you can’t avoid punishment.”
Chuncao and several old maids were so grateful to Qian Yulin that they kowtowed to him several times after being beaten with the sticks before returning to Zhang Qiuye's yard to work.
Everyone left and the front yard became quiet.
Qian Yulin waved his hand again and drove the servants out of the room, then he became angry at Li Jinyi.
"No one can be blamed for this matter. If anyone needs to be blamed, it's herself. Now the entire Li Mansion is almost worshipping her because she is not careful enough.
He is a short-sighted person. He will see a hundred or so taels of silver. Why would he compete with a village woman?
Besides, that person is her biological mother, so what if she gives it to her?
And you, why give her money? Is the mansion short of food or drink for her?
After the child is born, how can she be left out of the benefits?"
Li Jinyi stepped forward and patted Qian Yulin's back. "Madam, calm down. This is all my fault. I made you worry about it."
"I don't have enough to worry about in your house, I just don't want to be frightened.
If she is lucky enough to give birth to a boy, it will only benefit us, not harm us."
"Yes, yes, I understand what you said, ma'am."
"You know shit. If you had listened to what I said, this wouldn't have happened."
"Madam, calm down. It's all my fault. My fault."
Qian Yulin vented his anger at Li Jinyi, and then returned to his yard after feeling relieved.
Zhang Juexia had no idea what was happening in the Li family. She was busy opening the shop.
Ye Suyun was also pulled along to help.
After several people worked hard, they finally figured out the problem.
"Once the manager we'll hire tomorrow arrives, we can open the business as usual the day after tomorrow."
Ding Man asked Zhang Juexia in confusion, "Boss, you're not usually here?"
Xiao Cui and Ding Man were already familiar with each other. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "The boss is... busy again, how can he have time!"
In fact, she wanted to say that Zhang Juexia knew nothing, so how could he be the shopkeeper here? Aunt Wang rolled her eyes at her, and she immediately changed her words.
Ding Man felt a little regretful and his interest immediately turned sour.
Zhang Juexia comforted him, "Don't feel pressured. I recruited you personally. No one can get rid of you unless I give my approval.
I don't understand these things, but if I hire someone who does, maybe our business will grow bigger."
"I think the shopkeeper knows more than anyone else."
Zhang Juexia smiled, thinking that he had actually gained a little fanboy. "This shopkeeper was recommended by Madam Li. He has been the shopkeeper of the Li family for many years and is very experienced. If you learn from him, maybe in a few years you can become the shopkeeper yourself."
"real?"
"I'm not lying to you. I just need to remember what I said and learn more from the powerful people."
"Boss, I will listen carefully to the new boss, work harder and learn more, and I will definitely not be lazy."
Ding Man looked so cute that Zhang Juexia suddenly had an idea, "Don't call me the shopkeeper from now on. The new shopkeeper might not be happy to hear that."
"What's that called?"
"Call me sister, it makes me seem more intimate."
"Can I really call you sister?"
"Of course."
"Sister, sister, sister."
Xiao Cui looked at Ding Man's mad look and rolled her eyes again, "Childish."
Ding Man stuck out his tongue at Xiao Cui, unwilling to be outdone. "You want me to call you sister? I'm not happy with that!"
"I'm younger than you. If you call me sister instead of old, who would care?"
Aunt Wang coughed dryly, and the two stopped bickering.
Zhang Juexia thought it was quite interesting, it would make the shop more lively!
In the evening, Manager Yao told her that Aunt Wang asked her to help find a mother-in-law.
Zhang Juexia slapped his forehead and said, "It was my fault for being careless and forgetting about this."
