Chapter 415: Zhang Defu, the Ungrateful One
"What does your business have to do with me? Now that you've finished your meal, get out of here!"
Seeing that Zhang Juexia was unwilling to eat, Tian Caihong frowned and said, "Qiu Ye is your sister after all!
Don’t you worry about whether she is doing well or not?”
"Who is she to me? Why should I worry? I'm telling you, if you don't leave, I'll kick you out."
"Zhang Juexia, you are unfilial, you..."
Zhang Juexia took away Tian Caihong's hand that was pointing at her, "You are the least qualified person to say that. You and I have already severed ties. Now you are pointing your finger at me and accusing me of being unfilial. Why didn't you do that earlier?"
"You... Zhang Juexia, think carefully. Qiu Ye is marrying the wealthy Mr. Li, the only one of his kind in Jinshui Town."
"Don't talk to me about these things, I never thought of taking advantage of anything.
Besides, a concubine has no right to claim kinship."
Zhang Defu pricked up his ears to listen to the argument between Zhang Juexia and Tian Caihong, and suddenly remembered what Tian Caihong had just said.
He also wanted to increase his land from 30 acres to 50 acres, but it seemed impossible to do so.
It’s not like it, it’s just not possible.
He looked up at Zhang Juexia's shop, smacked his lips, and thinking of the meal he had just eaten, he suddenly understood.
It's good to have money.
He moved closer to Tian Caihong, put his hands behind his back, straightened his back, and tried to look like a head of household.
Zhang Defu said something and pretended to say, "Zhang Juexia, this is where you're wrong.
How do you talk to mother like that? Now that you and Qiuye are both living in the town, you two sisters should support each other.
Your mother didn't ask you to do anything, she just asked you to pass on a message, is that so difficult?"
"It's difficult, it's really difficult. It's harder than making you disappear in front of me."
"How can you talk like that? You're being disrespectful. Qiuye is marrying the wealthy Mr. Li, and his name is quite famous.
What qualifications do you have to deny your sister's identity?"
Zhang Juexia sneered. It was such a waste of time to talk to such a person. "If you don't leave, I will leave.
Shopkeeper Li, our shop must be open for business, so please ask all irrelevant people to leave as soon as possible."
Li Xi was feeling anxious at the moment, but when he heard Zhang Juexia's instructions, he quickly responded, "Yes."
"I said, girl, why are you so ungrateful? Is there anything wrong with what I said?
Even if Mr. Li comes, he has to respectfully call me father-in-law."
Zhang Juexia turned around and glared at the furious Zhang Defu, then shook his head helplessly. He really didn't know what was good for him.
She had not taken a few steps when she saw a familiar person from a distance. When he got closer, she took two steps back in surprise.
“Ah, ah!”
Li Jinyi had just finished drinking at Manfu Restaurant. It was a very hot day and he was so drunk that his face and ears were red and he felt irritable all over.
I thought, instead of taking the carriage, I would just walk down the street and wait for the alcohol to subside before going home.
I never thought that he would scare the young lady like this just by walking on the street in broad daylight.
Li Jinyi touched his big face depressedly. Is he so scary?
When the followers behind saw their master stop, they also stopped.
Zhang Juexia calmed himself down, bowed to Li Jinyi, and tried to force a smile. Just as he was about to speak...
Zhang Defu, who hadn't received a response, ran out of the shop angrily, "What? You're not convinced by what your father said.
Could what I said be false?
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Qiu Ye married the wealthy Mr. Li, and I am his father-in-law.
Even if he comes in person, I won't be afraid. I have to make him call me daddy!"
Zhang Defu even patted his chest to vent his anger.
Li Jinyi blinked, rubbed his eyes again, and glared at Zhang Defu, "Who are you?"
"Who do you care who I am? If I tell you anything, I'll scare you to death."
"Then tell me what you mean!"
"I'm Li Jinyi's father!"
Li Jinyi swung out with his long legs, "I'm just drunk and still unconscious.
How dare you pretend to be my father!"
He staggered back, pointed at Zhang Defu, and said to his followers, "Find someone to take him to the government office and say there's trouble."
Zhang Defu struggled to get up several times but failed.
Tian Caihong heard the noise and ran out of the house, "Boss, what happened to you?"
Seeing that Zhang Defu's forehead was covered in sweat due to the pain, she became nervous.
She quickly explained to Li Jinyi, "Sir, my boss's brain isn't working properly. I beg you to forgive us this time!"
Zhang Defu slapped Tian Caihong and said, "Why should I beg him? I didn't say anything wrong. Qiu Ye married Li Jinyi. I am his father-in-law, not his father."
After hearing what Zhang Qiuye said, Li Jinyi finally understood something.
He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you Zhang Qiuye's parents?"
Tian Caihong saw that the man's expression relaxed when he mentioned Mr. Li, and she quickly said, "What are you saying? Who has nothing better to do than pretend to be someone else's parents? I am Zhang Qiuye's mother, and he is Zhang Qiuye's father."
Then Tian Caihong pointed at Zhang Juexia and was about to say that she was Zhang Qiuye's sister, but then she thought again, if the people in the town knew that Zhang Juexia was related to the rich man Li's family, they would definitely look at her with higher regard.
No, we must not mention the relationship between Zhang Juexia and them.
So, she withdrew her finger, "She is just an irrelevant person."
Li Jinyi confirmed again, "Are you really Zhang Qiuye's parents?"
Tian Caihong had already helped Zhang Defu up from the ground and said impatiently, "You're such an interesting person! Didn't I just say that no one has the time to pretend to be someone else's parents?"
"Good, good, that's great. Call the government office immediately and arrest these two men.
They cheated my concubine of her money and injured my beloved concubine. Otherwise, my precious son would not have been unable to be born."
One of Li Jinyi's followers ran to the yamen, and the rest surrounded Tian Caihong and Zhang Defu.
Both of them turned pale with fright.
Li Jinyi nodded with satisfaction. "Now you know who I am, right? I am Li Jinyi himself.
You hurt Qiuye, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!
Now, you are actually brazenly saying in the street that you are my, Li Jinyi’s father-in-law. Good, it’s really good!
Our Li family has not yet fallen to the point where there is no distinction between high and low.
A wife is a wife, a concubine is a concubine. How dare a concubine's family point at me and ask me to call them dad? It's really a joke."
Zhang Defu and Tian Caihong were so frightened that they fell to the ground and kowtowed, "Mr. Li, Mr. Li, please, please be magnanimous and spare us!"
