Chapter 330 Going to the County
Zhang Juexia supported Wang Guilan, Ye Beixiu supported Ye Jishun, and the four of them entered the house together.
Zhang Juexia could already sense Wang Guilan's excitement, "My goodness, you guys are so capable!
This huge house was earned by you."
"Well, the front is the shop, and the back is where we live."
"Good, really good!"
Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia smiled at each other, because since getting off the carriage, Ye Jishun and Wang Guilan had become much more reserved, and the phrase they heard most often was "OK, OK, OK."
"Grandma, you and I, please don't be so formal with us! Our home is your home. Bei Xiu and I have hired a few servants for our business needs. If you need anything, just tell them to do it."
"If grandma was going to be distant with you, she wouldn't have come to the county town with you. But forget about the people serving around here!
Your grandfather and I have hands and feet, so we don't need them to serve us.
Wait until your grandfather and I get familiar with each other, and then see if there's any work suitable for us, and we'll help out.
This way you can save money on hiring people.”
Zhang Juexia pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay, then you and I can stay here with peace of mind. I'll need your help a lot in the future!"
After lunch, Ye Beixiu helped Zhang Juexia settle Ye Jishun and Wang Guilan, and then went to the Song Mansion.
Wang Guilan held his hand distressedly, "You just came back and you're going to practice martial arts already. You shouldn't rest at home for a while!"
"Grandma, I've been resting for several days. I'll just be out for the afternoon and come back early. Tomorrow, Juexia and I will accompany you to see Doctor Liu."
After Ye Beixiu left, Ye Jishun couldn't stay any longer and decided to go to the shop in front to have a look and talk to someone.
Wang Guilan kept reminding him, "Don't talk when you get there, just watch. Don't make fun of yourself if you talk like a country boy."
Ye Jishun waved his hand impatiently, "I know my limits. You old woman, don't worry about me. But you..."
"Grandma, you're overthinking it. They're dying to have some advice from me!"
Wang Guilan pointed at Zhang Juexia's forehead and said, "You, don't try to comfort us!"
"Grandma, are you tired?"
"I'm fine. I just felt a little weak when I got off the carriage. I feel much better now."
"Do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Okay, let's go."
Zhang Juexia accompanied Wang Guilan on a short walk down the street. Wang Guilan's eyes were not enough to see clearly, and she kept muttering, "The county town is just crowded and lively."
"Grandma, if you like, you can live here with me!"
"Come on! I just asked, and a handful of vegetables only costs a few cents. In our family, we don't have to spend any money.
Besides, I don't even know anyone here, how can I talk to anyone? Staying here for two or three days is fine, but if I stay here for longer, I'll suffocate to death."
Zhang Juexia felt that what Wang Guilan said made sense. "Grandma, how about this? Why don't we get to know a few more old ladies?"
"Come on, look at what they are wearing. They are all very neat and tidy. I am afraid they would have nothing to say to an old country lady like me."
"That's not necessarily true."
Zhang Juexia took Wang Guilan to a clothing store, asked the clerk to take out a few sets of clothes, and tried them on Wang Guilan without saying a word.
"Grandma, this set has beautiful colors and the material is very solid."
"This one is also good. The one just now can be worn when you are working at home. This one can be worn when you are drinking tea. And this one is made of softer material and can be worn next to your skin."
"Drinking tea? What kind of tea is this old woman drinking?"
Although Wang Guilan said that she didn't need it and didn't want it, Zhang Juexia could tell from her little expressions that she also liked new clothes.
Women of all ages have no resistance to new clothes.
Zhang Juexia asked the waiter to take out some men's clothes and asked him to try them on herself. "Grandma, how do you think this looks on me?"
"He's just an old country boy, how could he use such fine materials?"
But her eyes looked at him a few more times reluctantly.
Zhang Juexia understood and told the waiter, "Please help me pack these clothes! But we have to agree that if they don't fit, I will come and exchange them."
The young man smiled and said, "Sir, you can rest assured. Take this dress back. If it doesn't fit you, just bring it back. We have a special embroiderer who will alter it for you in any way you like."
Zhang Juexia thought the service was good, so he took the clothes and paid for them happily.
Before leaving, Wang Guilan was still muttering, "This shop is simply robbing me!"
"Grandma, don't worry. Your grandson and I have a big business now, so we still have enough money to buy you some clothes."
"I know you have money, but no one's money comes from the wind, so you have to spend it frugally."
"Grandma, I know. We are not going to do it again. We are running out of time! When your grandson went out just now, he specifically told me to take you to buy some clothes.
Grandma, there is a jewelry store in front, let's go and look at the jewelry!"
Wang Guilan said she would not go again. "I can't spend any more money. I've already spent a lot."
Zhang Juexia couldn't persuade her, but he also wanted to buy something for the old lady, so he lied to her and said, "Grandma, let's go take a look, right? It won't cost any money."
"Don't even look at it, go home."
Zhang Juexia didn't want to argue on the street, so he went home with Wang Guilan.
On the way back, the grandparents talked to each other and laughed from time to time.
After entering the alley, an elderly lady of about the same age as Wang Guilan came across the street. She came forward and greeted Zhang Juexia, "Are you Mrs. Ye?"
Zhang Juexia nodded. "I am. Who are you?"
The old lady was quite generous and eager to introduce herself. She pointed to her door and said, "See? I live next door to yours."
Zhang Juexia said "Oh", "On weekdays, when I go in and out, I always see your house is locked, so I thought no one is home!"
"That's right, there's no one here. We just came back from our hometown a few days ago. My nephew's grandson was getting married, and our whole family went to help for a while. Who is this?"
"This is my milk."
"It's Mrs. Ye! My husband's last name is Xu, so you can call me Mrs. Xu. I won't go out anymore, so we can chat often.
My shop is right in front, and we usually sell cloth, ready-made clothes, and so on."
"Isn't it called Xu's Cloth Shop?"
"Mrs. Ye knows?"
Zhang Juexia pointed at the several sets of ready-made clothes in his hand and said, "I bought a few sets of ready-made clothes for my grandparents. I bought them from your shop."
