Chapter 353 Another matchmaking job
Song Yu didn't rush to answer Zhang Juexia, "Actually, I didn't want to disturb you about this matter.
But I was afraid, so I asked Shopkeeper Li to write you a letter."
"Sister Song, you wrote the right letter. Your business is my business. I can't just ignore it."
"Thank you, Juexia!"
Zhang Juexia was anxious, "Sister Song, are you being too polite to me? What's the point of thanking me all the time?"
Song Yu let Zhang Juexia take a seat and poured her a cup of tea. "Have a cup of tea first to calm down. Have you been exhausted recently?"
"I'm not really tired, I'm just scared by what happened to you. By the way, how did they find us here?
To be honest, I think there are not many places more remote than Yejia Village."
"Shopkeepers Li and Yao had someone investigate and said it was Liu Hong and Fang Lan who were responsible."
"They really are still so stubborn! Aren't they tired of doing this every day? Wasn't the beating they received in Shunhe County enough?"
After hearing what Zhang Juexia said, Song Yu asked in surprise, "Did they also go to the county town to cause trouble?"
"Yeah, I beat him up."
"No wonder, they have become our business competitors now. I heard from Shopkeeper Li that they have intercepted many of our orders.
However, they had cut off the orders and did not have enough manpower to do the work, so they were a little hesitant.
Only then did I begin to think of these hateful tricks."
"I will handle the matter between Liu Hong and Fang Lan. Sister Song, please tell me about yours!
How is Jin Jie'er? Is she hurt?"
“It’s okay. This time, it’s all thanks to the people in our village. When they came into the village to rob people, they were beaten away by the young and old men in our village.
Juexia, I owe too much to the people in our village."
Song Yu started to cry as she spoke, "They are so cruel, Jin Jie'er is only a teenager, and they let her get married.
They even said it was for her own good. I asked Manager Li to find out for me, and found out they were just doing it for money.
Juexia, it's only ten taels of silver, and they're going to sell Jinjie'er."
Zhang Juexia comforted her, "Didn't this happen?
Sister Song, don’t cry. I will tell Ren Tianxing and the others and ask them to be more careful. Sister Jin will be fine.
Besides, you and Jin Jie'er are both registered in our Yejia Village, so even if they accept the betrothal gift from that family, it won't count."
"I know, I'm just afraid they'll come and cause trouble again. Juexia, you know what? I feel sick when I see them, sick from the bottom of my heart.
Just like Li Zao at that time, when she saw her ex-mother-in-law, she would tremble involuntarily.
I think it might be the psychological reaction you mentioned!"
After hearing what Song Yu said, Zhang Juexia had an idea in mind, "Sister Song, since you don't want to see them, then next time they come to our village to make trouble, we will report them to the police!
You and Jin Jie'er are registered in our village, so even if they are Jin Jie'er's nominal grandparents, so what? "
Song Yu wiped away her tears and said, "Thank you, Juexia! Why didn't I think of reporting it to the police?"
"That's because you're too concerned, Sister Song. Don't feel burdened, and don't think you're causing trouble for the villagers.
To be honest, the people in the village should be most grateful to you. Without you, where would their wives and daughters go to learn embroidery?
You taught them how to survive, and this little thing is nothing."
"But I always feel like I'm causing trouble for everyone. Juexia, can I trouble you for a favor? Can you help me find a husband for Jin Jie'er?"
Zhang Juexia was so frightened that she spilled the tea in her hand. "Sister Song, are you kidding me? How old is Sister Jin?"
"I know Sister Jin is young and she's still several years away from getting married! I'm just afraid that they might set their sights on Sister Jin again one day.
Juexia, you don’t know that my dead brother has several nephews!
I guess this is because the eldest son of the old family has reached the age of marriage and cannot afford the bride price, so he is plotting against Jin Jie'er.
From then on, whenever their son reached marriageable age, this would happen.
I was frightened to death.'
I decided to arrange Jin Jie'er's marriage before them. Then, they won't be able to plot against her even if they want to.
You don't know what kind of people they are. They are all black-hearted.
If Jin Jie'er and I could just live in their house, why would I bother going through this? "
Song Yu's words moved Zhang Juexia, "Let me think about it. I have to be very careful in finding a son-in-law for the girl."
"Well, I understand. I don't have any requirements, and I don't want any betrothal gifts. I just hope that he can treat Jin Jie'er well.
Also, your family background can’t be too bad, as long as you can have enough food to eat.
The most important thing is that they are good people.”
Zhang Juexia carefully memorized Song Yu's words and said, "Okay, I'll take note."
"Also, don't go too far from our village. I only have this one daughter, and I'll have to rely on her when I get old!"
"I understand."
Zhang Juexia then remembered to ask Song Yu, "With all the fuss your husband's family has been making, haven't your family members from your mother's side come looking for you?"
“When they came, they were beaten out by the villagers, and the village head even gave them some sense.
Alas, Juexia, you don’t know how embarrassing this incident is. It’s really disgusting to see them asking for money right away.
If there was a crack in the ground, I would have wanted to crawl into it. But, someone could shamelessly ask me for money in public.
The problem is that they said it with confidence, as if it was natural for me to give them money.
Especially my sister-in-law, her children couldn't eat meat, and she actually blamed me.
She said that I used to give them money to buy meat, but now I don’t give them money, and her children can’t eat meat.
Don’t you think it’s funny?”
Zhang Juexia shook his head helplessly, "It's quite ridiculous. You don't work hard yourself, but you blame others.
Sister Song, thank goodness you understood it early and withdrew your hands early.
Otherwise, you will be exploited by them all the time."
"I have to thank you for meeting me, Juexia. Not only me, but everyone in our workshop has been completely transformed since they started making money. They are all very clear-headed.
Everyone understands that only when you have money in your hands can you be confident.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others.
Having said that, I remembered something. Juexia, when you find a husband for Jinjie'er, you must make it clear to them.
I just want to be close to Jin Jie'er. When I get old and can't walk anymore, she can be by my side and help me wash and clean.
As for money for retirement, I have it."
"I understand, Sister Song. I'll think about it carefully when I get back. I'll tell you when I find the right person."
Zhang Juexia glanced outside and said, "Sister Song, it's getting late. I have to go back."
