Chapter 289 Still Mighty
Zhang Juexia pulled Aunt Wang to sit down, poured her another cup of tea, and placed it in front of her, "Auntie, please have some tea."
"Boss, Cui'er's matter is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have missed out on such a good son-in-law like Li Le."
"Look at what you said, it's not that mysterious. Their marriage is destined by heaven."
"Yes, yes, it was fate. If you hadn't sent someone to tell me that day, I would have wanted to die.
You don't know how regretful I was when I found out Cui'er was missing. The child finally found someone she loved, and I was still making all these requests. What would I do if something happened to her? "
Zhang Juexia listened patiently. Seeing that Aunt Wang's teacup was out of water, he stood up and refilled it for her.
"Auntie, I can vouch for Li Le's character. During the time he was the owner of the soap shop, I never failed to praise him."
"I know, I know. After they went back, Li Le didn't shy away from suspicion and brought Cui'er to my place.
He knelt down and begged me to fulfill his wish.
He also told me that since he and Cui'er were married, it was his duty to support me in my old age and I shouldn't ask for anything."
"Shopkeeper Li Xi is a stubborn person. How did Li Le convince him?"
Aunt Wang shook her head and said, "I haven't really inquired into this matter.
To be honest, both father and son are affectionate and righteous people.
We also met my mother-in-law.
I have been suffering from this disease for many years. I gasp when I talk and need to take medicine all year round.
Shopkeeper Li Xi has been loyal to Li Le for so many years, and Li Le is also a filial son. He gives all the money he earns to Li Xi to buy medicine for his mother.
"Since Li Le is so filial, Aunt Wang, you will be blessed in the future."
"Blessed, blessed."
Aunt Wang smiled shyly, "Boss, don't look at your youth, I always want to nag you about something, please don't be offended!"
"How could that be! Aunt Wang, have you encountered any difficulties?
Are you worried that Xiao Cui won't have her family to support her when she gets married?
Don't worry, my husband and I are both her family members, and the embroiderers at our Shengxia Embroidery Workshop are all your family members."
"Boss, you are so kind to us. With your words, I no longer have any worries."
"Then you can go back and prepare Xiao Cui's dowry with peace of mind."
"Well, Master, before Cui'er's marriage was finalized, I was thinking about it every day. Now that it's finalized, I'm still worried.
You mentioned the Li family's situation. There's a patient at home who has to take medicine every day. If Cui'er marries him, the burden on her shoulders will be heavier.
What will she do if she has another child in the future?"
Zhang Juexia looked at the anxious Aunt Wang and instantly understood the saying, "Auntie, now that you've recovered, you can help Xiao Cui take care of the children.
You, don't think too much. The father and son of the Li family are both shopkeepers, and their monthly salary is considerable.
You and Xiao Cui both have skills, and you are not here to eat for free.
I think Xiao Cui will have a good life in the future as long as she works hard."
Aunt Wang's frown finally relaxed, and she picked up the teacup and drank the water in it in one breath. "Otherwise, how could I be willing to listen to you? After your guidance, I feel refreshed instantly.
You are right. When the embroiderers in the workshop heard that Cui Er was going to marry Li Le, they were all envious.
Zhang Juexia was also amused by Aunt Wang's expression. "Auntie, you can't drink this water like that. I'll have someone go to Zuixianlou to reserve two tables. Let's drink more at noon."
"Boss, you can't do that. We are all family, we dare not spend so much money."
Aunt Wang stood up and tried to stop Zhang Juexia, but Zhang Juexia nimbly dodged her attempt and said, "Auntie, Li Le and Xiao Cui's marriage is finalized, and everyone is happy.
Besides, this is the first time for you and Shopkeeper Li Xi to come to my house, so we can take this opportunity to have some fun.
I'll have someone inform my husband and ask him to come home for lunch."
Aunt Wang wanted to ask Ye Beixiu what he was busy with, but then she thought that since the host didn't say anything, it would be inappropriate for her to ask so rashly, so she closed her mouth again.
"Then it will cost you."
Ye Beixiu arrived at lunch time and the food arrived at the same time.
After greeting each other, men and women sat at two separate tables and had a lively lunch.
After dinner, Li Xi and Aunt Wang and her daughter returned to Jinshui Town, leaving Li Le alone in the county town to continue moving bricks.
After Zhang Juexia sent them away, he was dragged by Li Yingyue to go shopping.
"You can hold it in at home."
"You think I'm idle at home? I have a lot of things to do."
"Come on, forget it. I've never seen you do anything when I've been to your house."
"Now that you're here, I have to stay with you!"
Li Yingyue waved her hand. "Come on, I can't argue with you. I have to admit defeat. Is there anywhere you want to go?"
"Nothing at the moment. I'll go with you wherever you want to go."
"Let's go to Mingzhufang to look at the jewelry!"
"good."
The carriage was blocked before it reached Mingzhufang.
Li Yingyue was puzzled. This road was usually very wide, so why was it so crowded today?
Just as he was about to jump off the carriage to see what was going on, he was stopped by Zhang Juexia, "There are several carriages ahead, don't join in the fun. We can see it from the carriage too."
Two people lifted the carriage curtain, poked their inquiring heads out, and searched curiously, causing a crowd.
"So it's over there. If we had known, we would have left a little later."
"Where?"
Zhang Juexia didn't know the county town very well. After looking at it several times, he only saw people everywhere and didn't understand where it was.
Li Yingyue frowned and muttered, "The road we're walking on isn't a commercial street at all. There are only residents nearby, so why is it so congested?
Did something happen in someone's house? That doesn't make sense. When I left home, I didn't hear anything happening nearby!"
The driver came over sweating profusely and said, "Miss, let's take a detour. I'm afraid this matter won't be resolved in a short time."
Li Yingyue instantly perked up, "Whose family is causing trouble?"
"I heard it was the family of Liu Sanle, who just passed the imperial examination this year. The two people causing the trouble said they were his parents. They were very pitiful.
The two men came from the countryside, and Liu Sanle's wife refused to open the door for them. They had no choice but to make a scene in the street.
Isn't the Great Zhou Kingdom governed by filial piety? This scholar is a scholar, how could he be so unfilial?
Li Yingyue's curiosity had long since subsided. "Sister, Li Yiran is truly impressive. I didn't expect him to be so powerful even after getting married. It's truly admirable. How about we go over to the front and see what's going on?"
