Chapter 246 Naming
When Ye Jishun and Wang Guilan arrived, Zhang Juexia was catching up on her sleep. She let the old couple in with sleepy eyes.
Wang Guilan took Zhang Juexia's hand and said distressedly, "Your elder brother just told you that you have suffered a lot, child."
"Grandma, why did I suffer so much? I just entertained a few officials and asked them to help me catch the thief."
"You say it so easily, kid. This matter scares me just thinking about it. Tell me, what would you do if these officials were not here?"
"Grandma, everything has been dealt with. There's no need for us to worry about it. I've told my eldest brother several times not to tell you."
"If he doesn't say it, we can listen to others. Also, tell me the truth, where on earth has Bei Xiu been?"
"Grandma, he's really in the county. If you and I don't believe it, you can go to the county to see him. But what he wants to do must be kept secret from me."
Ye Jishun glared at Wang Guilan and said, "The children are grown up now and have their own things to do. Don't worry about them.
As long as Juexia is fine, we can rest assured. Old lady, I am tired of taking care of the children, why don’t we go back.”
"Yes, oh, by the way, your sister-in-law asked me to tell you to come over when you have time."
"I was thinking of getting some sleep before going to see my sister-in-law and the kids!"
After Ye Jishun and Wang Guilan left, Zhang Juexia slept for a while before going to Li Yiqun's place.
Li Yiqun was feeding the baby. Zhang Juexia's heart softened when he saw the baby clenching his little fists and gulping down the milk.
"Sister-in-law, she's so cute!"
"Cute, just give birth to one quickly."
"Sister-in-law, you didn't call me here just to induce labor, did you?"
"You were the one who said the child was cute, so I was wrong to ask you to have one."
"That's right, that's right."
The little kid had already fallen asleep. Zhang Juexia poked his head out to take a look. "It seems he looks more like his elder brother."
"That's what everyone says."
Li Yiqin said aggrievedly, "I put so much effort into giving birth to her, but everyone says she doesn't look like me."
"Sister-in-law, if you have another child, it's up to you."
"Please be kind, I haven't even finished my confinement yet, and you're forcing me to give birth!"
"Who just gave birth to me?"
"I was wrong, that's not enough."
Zhang Juexia looked at Li Yiqin with satisfaction and said, "That's pretty good." She took out a gift for the little baby, a pair of silver bracelets, and placed it in Li Yiqin's hand.
Li Yiqin took it and said, "Juexia, she's just a little girl, she doesn't need such an expensive gift."
"I prepared it before you gave birth. This is the first child of the Ye family, and also the first child of you and your elder brother. It's a little token of our love from Bei Xiu and me."
"Then I'll thank her uncle and aunt on behalf of the child. By the way, I asked you to come because I thought you knew a lot and could help me and your eldest brother come up with a nice name for the child."
"Sister-in-law, this is your and your brother's first child. You should choose the child's name, or you can ask your uncle and aunt if they have any names they like."
"I've asked around, and the names they came up with are nothing but flowers, grass, rain, and so on. Anyway, none of them sound nice, so I thought I'd ask for your opinion."
Zhang Juexia felt relieved after hearing the opinions. They were just taking them as a reference and might not use them, so she could feel free to express her own ideas boldly.
"How's Ke Xin? Look, everyone was so happy after she gave birth. How about her nickname, Xin Xin?"
Li Yiqin pondered for a moment, then read it over and over again. She thought it was quite good and smooth. "I'll ask your eldest brother later. If he agrees, I'll ask the elders for their opinions."
The little baby started crying at this time. Li Yiqin lifted the quilt and took a look, "I'm afraid he peed."
Zhang Juexia helped Li Yiqin change the baby's diaper, but was then chased out by Li Yiqin. "Juexia, I can handle this by myself. Go back to your workshop. I heard from your eldest brother that you're very busy."
Zhang Juexia just remembered that there was one thing she had to do, so she stood up and prepared to leave. "Sister-in-law, take good care of yourself and take care of yourself. I'll come see you when I have time."
Zhao Baofeng came in carrying a bowl of chicken soup. "Juexia, your chicken soup is in the kitchen. Drink it before you leave."
Zhang Juexia wanted to say a few polite words and then ran away, but Zhao Baofeng added, "If you don't drink, I'll take you home in a while."
Well, she's a little tired from running around these days, so just treat it as a tonic!
"Aunt, you don't have to see me off. I'll go drink right away."
After drinking a bowl of delicious chicken soup, Zhang Juexia felt refreshed and walked more vigorously than before.
She thought to herself that she needed to eat something delicious to replenish her body, otherwise she would feel weak all over.
When she arrived at the workshop, she heard people talking about what happened at night, but people just kept repeating what they heard, and as everyone passed it around, the versions of the story became different.
Liu Jinhua was sharp-eyed and was the first to spot Zhang Juexia. She shouted, "Bei Xiu's wife is here. Let her tell us what happened last night. Then we won't have to keep guessing."
Zhang Juexia really didn't want to repeat this again. "This matter is all thanks to Eryong. You can ask him when you have time."
"Yulan, call your husband in later and have him explain everything to us."
Li Yulan responded.
"But this is really exciting. Do you think Wang Houwen must be extremely regretful after seeing so many officials?"
"I don't know if he regretted it later, I just know that he was pretty arrogant at the time."
After hearing what Zhang Juexia said, everyone sighed, "Doesn't that mean Li Zao still can't divorce?"
Speaking of Li Zao, Zhang Juexia finally remembered the purpose of coming to the workshop. "Where is Li Zao?"
"She was sent to another room by Song Yu. There were fewer people in that room, so she couldn't hear what we said."
"Then I'll go take a look."
When Zhang Juexia walked over, Li Zao was cutting something with scissors. She looked at her slender back and felt a sense of pity.
She came to Li Zao, and Li Zao's pitiful eyes touched her again.
Li Zao called out softly, "Boss."
Zhang Juexia sat down next to her. "I'm sure you've heard about Wang Houwen's incident?"
Li Zao nodded, "Then what will happen to him?"
"I don't know. It depends on what the county magistrate decides. But have you ever considered taking this opportunity to divorce him, or for him to divorce you? Choose one, and I'll help you find a solution."
"Boss, whether it's a divorce or being divorced, I'm fine with it. As long as I can get away from Wang Houwen, anything is fine."
"You don't regret it?"
