Chapter 360: Treating Everyone Equally
Zhang Juexia felt embarrassed by Madam Shen's praise, "Madam, how can I be that good? You are our role model.
It's so hot, but I took you up the mountain to look around. Actually, I had a selfish motive: I wanted you to teach me some tips and tricks on how to manage a household."
"You're such a clever fellow. After reading all your stuff, I always feel that when I was young, I wasn't as good as you.
Now, I am very satisfied with what you have done.
In the future, if you encounter any problems and need my help to answer your questions, I will definitely not hide anything from you."
"Thank you, ma'am!"
"Don't thank me yet. When I get home, I'll send someone to your mountain to learn from you. Is that feasible?"
"Didn't I just say that? Of course you can. Old Madam, I have something to ask you. What do you do with the fruit you harvested on the mountain?"
"Of course I eat it! If I can't finish it, I sell it! What's wrong?"
"Old lady, as you can see, the yellow peaches on my hill will probably take three years to bear fruit. This year, could you please sell me the yellow peaches you harvested on your hill?
I'm in a canned food business with Li Yingyue, a young lady from the Li family in Shunhe County. I thought these yellow peaches would be delicious if they were canned."
"Oh, the canned hawthorns that sold so well during the Chinese New Year were also made by you?"
"Well, old lady, we are actually lucky in this matter. The price of yellow peaches and canned yellow peaches must be different.
But I only get 10% of the profit from this business. How about this, old lady? When the canned yellow peaches are sold, I will give you half of the 10% profit I get, okay?"
After hearing what Zhang Juexia said, Madam Shen was stunned for a moment, then quickly laughed. "Girl, tell me first, why did you take a percentage of the profit from this business? If I'm not mistaken, the recipe was also from you, right?"
Zhang Juexia told Old Lady Shen about his original idea. Old Lady Shen asked, "Is Li Yingyue the daughter of Li Jinyuan? Is her third uncle Li Jinren an official in the capital?"
"Yes."
"I heard my daughter Le'er mentioned Li Jinren in a letter. They have a good personal relationship.
Girl, have you ever asked Li Yingyue what kind of husband she wants to find?
Zhang Juexia shook his head, "Not really, usually when we are together we talk about business.
However, from what she said, she probably wants to find someone who shares the same feelings with her!
Otherwise, why would she dislike family marriages? "
"Well, she's an ambitious woman who dares to venture into the business world like men. That's what I like about her."
"Madam, I'll ask her to come over some other day so you can have a look."
"good."
"Then, old lady, what about the yellow peach?"
"I'm not short of a few taels of silver. I'll tell the manager when I get home to sell it to you at the seasonal market price. But you have to give me some of the canned yellow peaches."
"Thank you, old lady. I will send some to you when the time comes."
For lunch, Zhang Juexia made spicy chicken with the peppers he had picked. Although it was a bit spicy, everyone enjoyed it very much.
Even Old Madam Shen ate half a steamed bun more than usual.
"When I return to Qingfeng City, I'll have to ask the housekeeper to find some chili seeds. Then, I'll plant some in the farm."
"Old lady, if you find a lot of seeds, don't forget to give me some."
"I can't forget you."
Ye Yunsheng and Zhao Baofeng acted quickly and quickly hired a matchmaker to choose a good day nearby. While Old Lady Shen was there, they went to Song Yu's house to propose marriage.
This incident caused a huge uproar in Yejia Village.
Ye Beilin is a favorite in the eyes of these uncles, aunts and uncles. They are all racking their brains to think whether there is a girl of the right age among their relatives who can be introduced to him.
Now they have finally given up.
What they could never have imagined was how they could quietly arrange for Ye Beilin to marry Jin Jie'er from Song Yu's family.
To be honest, if Song Yu's in-laws and her own family had not come to the village to cause trouble, they would also think that Jin Jie'er was a good candidate for a daughter-in-law.
Those who were quick-witted also thought about marrying Jin Jie'er home as their daughter-in-law.
But after that incident, they all gave up the idea.
After all, no one wants to bring home a troublesome marriage.
Several women who were feeling unhappy gathered together and started to talk about sour things to each other.
"I heard that this matchmaking was arranged by Bei Xiu's wife."
"Her? The in-laws she found for Suyun are from the town, but when it comes to my brother-in-law, they become from the village."
"Song Yu used to live in this town too."
"But she is from our village now."
"I don't know what she's thinking, but I always feel that Beilin needs to find a better wife."
"Just wait and see. The Ye family will have a hard time in the future. Just the daughter-in-law's family alone will be enough to make them suffer."
The Ye family was unaware of the gossip outside. Ye Yunsheng simply asked the chef of Manfu Restaurant to cook the dishes at home and held a grand banquet.
Now that they have some money in their hands, the betrothal gift from Beilin is much better than that from Beishan at that time.
Zhao Baofeng chose two sets of jewelry, and after Wang Guilan heard about it, she added another set.
After all, when she was in the county town, she bought a house for Li Yiqun and Zhang Juexia.
Now that Beilin is getting engaged, she says she wants to make up for it.
Of course, Zhao Baofeng also discussed this with Li Yiqun privately, and when buying jewelry for Jin Jie'er, she also gave Li Yiqun her share.
Li Yiqin refused for a long time but still couldn't persuade Zhao Baofeng.
For Li Yiqun, the life she is living now is something she never dared to imagine before.
Every time she went back to her mother's home, her mother would give her many instructions, asking her to respect the elderly and live in harmony with her family.
Especially after she gave birth to Xinxin, they saw that the Ye family had become prosperous, so they asked her to live a good life.
On weekdays, there were no such things as this or that. When they knew that Ye Beilin was going to get engaged, her mother even came specially.
Tell her not to compare herself with others.
After all, when she and Ye Beishan got married, their life was not as good as it is now.
Li Yiqun knew what was going on, so she nodded in agreement.
But when she saw that Ye Yunsheng and Zhao Baofeng were so attentive and bought good things from the town, especially when the two sets of jewelry were placed in front of her, she felt a little uncomfortable.
But when Zhao Baofeng gave her two identical sets of jewelry, she was so moved that she didn't know what to do.
Zhao Baofeng spoke sincerely, "As elders, we, of course, want to treat everyone equally.
When you and Beishan got married, our family's financial situation was limited, but we also wanted to give you the best.
Since you've married into our family, we'll naturally treat you as a member of our family. My dear child, you're the eldest sister-in-law, and you'll be the one to support this family from now on. We naturally can't let you down."
