Chapter 265 Greed
Before Li Yingyue could calm down, the county magistrate's wife arrived.
The magistrate's wife is Li Yingyue's biological aunt. Back then, there were two sisters from the Liu family, one married into the Li family and the other married a poor scholar. This was a hot topic of conversation in Shunhe County!
Unexpectedly, a few years later, the poor scholar made a comeback by passing the imperial examination, and Liu Wanyue also changed her previous poverty and became an official's wife.
Fortunately, Li Yingyue’s biological mother, Liu Wanru, did not look down on her sisters from the same mother, and helped them from time to time.
The friendship between sisters is simply enviable.
The only thing might be that Liu Wanyue was afraid of being poor in the past few years, so she was very fond of money when she saw it.
Li Yingyue was a little troubled by her aunt, but she had to face her.
As soon as Liu Wanyue entered the door, she complained to Li Yingyue that they didn't have enough money and it was not easy to support the family.
Li Yingyue couldn't stand it any longer, "Aunt, I gave you my share of the canned food shop a long time ago.
Now that the money is given to you, you should devote all your efforts to planning for your uncle, instead of..."
She wanted to say that she was being petty and calculating, but she finally took it back.
After all, Liu Wanyue is the elder, so she should be tactful in her words.
Liu Wanyue still argued, "It's not that I'm reluctant, but I also have to consider our family..."
Li Yingyue was so angry at her aunt's short-sightedness that her chest ached. "Aunt, I still say the same thing. If my uncle has a successful career, you can have anything you want!"
Liu Wanyue was very pleased with this and straightened her body in her sitting position. "Is your sister from the countryside called Zhang Juexia?"
"Yes, my aunt remembers her."
"I remember, how could I not remember? I sent plaques to her two shops in the name of the magistrate's wife for your sake."
Li Yingyue was a little upset when she heard this. "Come to think of it, you and she are in a cooperative relationship. It's not unfair for my aunt to give her a plaque."
Liu Wanyue was a little unhappy after hearing what Li Yingyue said, "I'm the wife of the county magistrate. Not just anybody can get close to me."
Li Yingyue really didn't want to talk to Liu Wanyue anymore. She was so angry that she almost died.
Besides, today has been full of ups and downs, and she needs to calm down and sort out things.
"Aunt, my mother is at home, why don't you talk to her."
"I came here to look for you. Why did I look for your mother? I want to ask you, besides the canned food business that we have with Zhang Juexia, have you participated in her other businesses?"
"No."
"Really?"
"Aunt doesn't believe me. If I say I don't have it, then I don't have it."
Liu Wanyue began to think, "I passed by her soap shop the other day, and I saw that business was booming.
Why don't you go and ask how much each of us will get."
Li Yingyue's face immediately darkened, "Aunt, that's a really good plan, but I really don't have the face to say that.
My aunt knows best how profitable the canned food business is, and they only want a penny of profit.
If we are not satisfied, we will have no place to complain."
"She is from the countryside, how can she understand how to reason? We cooperate with her because we respect her.
To be honest, if you and I hadn't been there to support her, she wouldn't have had the guts to open her business in the county."
Li Yingyue was furious, her face flushed red, her chest heaving violently. She felt that her aunt's tolerance was incomparable to her own aunt.
The Qian family is a wealthy family, while her maternal grandparents are at best local rich people in the county town.
She tried hard to control her emotions and soften her tone, "Aunt, don't underestimate her. She has a special relationship with the Shen family in Qingfeng City."
"Just her?"
Liu Wanyue was quite skeptical.
"Aunt, I just found out about this too. I'll talk to her when I have time to see what the situation is."
"What about the profit sharing?"
"There's no doubt about this. Aunt, it's best not to think about it. Zhang Juexia is not a fool, and he won't let us control him. Aunt, you have to understand that right now, your uncle's promotion is the most important thing.
Let's work together. I will help you raise money so that you don't have to worry about anything.
My third uncle has been an official in the capital for many years. At the critical moment, he might be able to help speak up.
As for my second aunt's brother from her mother's side, I heard that he is going to the capital to report on his work, and he has a great chance of becoming an official there."
Li Yingyue's words made Liu Wanyue's heart blossom, "Yingyue, you are so thoughtful. I really want to thank you very much!
Oh, you said, how great it would be if you were a man! "
Li Yingyue looked unhappy. "Aunt, you should go see my mother. If you don't go see her when you come to my house, she will nag me for a long time."
"Okay, I'll go see her right away."
Li Yingyue stared at Liu Wanyue's back in a daze. Why was this person getting more and more stupid?
Xing'er hurried in, leaned over to Li Yingyue's ear and whispered a few words.
"Have you checked it out? Is it really her?"
"It's clear as day that Mei'er leaked the information."
"He's truly my good brother! He's another brainless guy who ruined my deal. I only lost my right to choose my marriage, but the Li family lost a lot of money!"
"Perhaps the young master didn't think so much, he only thought about how to bring you down!
The eldest young master has been very close to Xu Yanchen, the eldest young master of the Xu family, recently. The Xu family has been eyeing our canned food business.
I heard that the Xu family made a batch a while ago, but the taste is not as good as ours, and the price can't be sold at a high price. They are very frustrated! "
Li Yingyue listened to Xing'er's words, and many things came to her mind. She hated her elder brother for not being able to make sense of things.
She had said many times that she would not fight with him for anything, and even the property she earned would belong to Li Qi in the future.
She had never thought of owning it.
"Let our people keep a close eye on Li Qi and see how he plays tricks on me. And..."
Li Yingyue called Xing'er over and whispered in her ear. Xing'er's eyes widened, "Miss, is this okay?"
"Nothing could be better than this. I, your young lady, love to help others achieve their goals.
Since she thinks my place is not good, I will follow her wishes."
Li Yingyue urged Xing'er, "Hurry up and do it. It will be meaningless if you miss the auspicious day.
Ask Madam Li to help you; she is older than you and knows more."
Xing'er blushed and went out to do some work.
Li Yingyue's ears suddenly became quiet. She lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and slowly let herself relax.
Although her mind was in a mess and she couldn't sleep at all, at least it allowed her to have a good rest.
"Miss, I want to see Miss."
