Chapter 420 Blessing
"So, the thoughts of this wealthy family are really hard to guess."
"I think we should stop guessing, even though I farm at home every day and don't know much.
But we also know that no concubine can surpass the wife of the main house.
I really don’t understand what’s going on in Tian Caihong’s mind.”
"She really wanted to marry her daughter off to a wealthy family, but this man had to be destined to do so.
Look, her eldest daughter, Juexia, was married off to a remote place in the mountains and forests because of her schemes, but she's still living a good life."
"I believe what you said. The other day I went to sell embroidery and specifically went to the Shengxia Embroidery Workshop she opened. I heard from the shopkeeper that Juexia also opened a shop in the county town."
“So amazing!”
"Her husband passed the military examination a while ago, and their family has a good relationship with our county magistrate's family!"
Everyone sighed.
"It can be seen that Juexia is a blessed person."
"That's a great blessing. Juexia was forced to marry Tian Caihong, but who would have thought that their life would get better and better.
So, a person's fate is determined by heaven, and there is no point in arguing about it."
"You have forgotten one important thing, Juexia's biological mother is Li Li Niang.
Li Li'niang might have done it when she was alive.
The house where Zhang Defu and Tian Caihong live was built by Li Li'niang.
The land they farmed was also bought by Li Li Niang at that time."
"Oh, so Juexia is so capable because she takes after her mother."
"God has mercy on me. I didn't get any of what my own mother earned, but instead gave it away for free to others."
"They were pitiful back then, but they are living such a good life now. We can only envy them."
"Humph, Zhang Defu and Tian Caihong deserve it."
Tian Caihong had been unable to bear listening in the yard for a long time. The more she listened, the angrier she became.
A surge of anger rushed up, and he ran out with a kitchen knife in hand, "Are you guys done yet?"
When everyone saw Tian Caihong's posture, they immediately ran around.
"Oh my god, hurry up and call the head of the village, Tian Caihong has gone crazy."
"You guys are the ones who drove me crazy. You're all talking nonsense. What's wrong with me taking my daughter's things? What's wrong with that?"
As she spoke, Tian Caihong squatted on the ground again and started crying.
Everyone went to call Zhang Dequan, but he was not available at all.
His family has more and more chickens. Erzhuang has been getting more and more restless these days and insists on going to work in Zhang Juexia's shop.
Zhang Dequan didn't want to spend more money to hire someone, so he had to slowly take over Erzhuang's work himself. Once Erzhuang became familiar with the job, he would let Erzhuang go.
"Let her make a fuss. Stay away from her and keep an eye on her. Don't hurt the elderly and children."
Then someone else ran over and said, "Don't let the village head go over there. Tian Caihong is really not normal. She's crying on the ground now!"
Wang Yuying came out of the house carrying a basket. "Let her be. She's a person who values money more than anything else. Those twenty acres of land are like a death trap for her. We must let her vent her anger."
After the villagers dispersed, Wang Yuying discussed with Zhang Dequan, "A while ago, Juexia and Erzhuang talked about something very good, but you used the excuse that there was too much work at home to prevent Erzhuang from going to work in town.
Now, there is less work to do around the house and you don’t have any excuses.
I think since Erzhuang is willing, let him go to Juexia!
If we hold him, we will delay the child's care."
Zhang Dequan pondered for a moment, "I can handle the housework now. Let's go to the county town together tomorrow to send Erzhuang there, and then explain the reason to Juexia."
Wang Yuying got Zhang Dequan's approval and smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, I have to tell Erzhuang about this good news and make him happy."
"By the way, ask him to pack his things, and don't forget to bring something for Jue Xia."
"You don't even need to tell me about this. I've already prepared it. I'll have Dazhuang tie up the two fat hens we keep at home and bring them to Juexia so she can get some nourishment.
We also have this basket of fresh eggs, which we'll take with us.
I've also found out that Hu the Butcher is slaughtering a pig tomorrow, and I asked him to reserve a pig's hind leg for us, so I'll give it to Juexia."
"Okay, you can take care of this matter!"
"Master, to be honest, Juexia is a sentimental girl. We helped her a little bit back then, and she remembers our kindness.
Alas, I don't know what Defu is thinking. It's obvious that his own daughter is more promising, but he has to be so nice to a daughter who has no blood relationship with him.
Zhang Dequan's teeth itched with hatred when Zhang Defu was mentioned. "Let's not talk about that fool anymore. If he wants to raise someone else's child, let him do it!"
Wang Ming got the land deed and ran all the way to the town. Instead of going to the government office, he went directly to Li's house to report.
Li Jinyi was overjoyed when he saw the land deed in hand. He loudly ordered Li Zhong, "Butler Li, hurry to Manfu Restaurant to prepare a banquet. The officials have worked hard, and we must make sure they eat and drink well."
Wang Ming was polite and said, "Master Li, you're welcome. This is all part of our job."
"Look at what you said. You came all the way here in this hot weather just for my Li family's affairs. If I, Li, don't show any appreciation, I'd be rather clueless.
If you don't eat this meal, do you think you are looking down on me, Li?"
Now that things have come to this, if Wang Ming still refuses to go, wouldn’t it be too much of a disrespect to Li Jinyi? “Well, then, I’ll thank Master Li on behalf of my brothers.”
After watching Wang Ming leave, Li Jinyi hummed a little tune and went to Zhang Qiuye's yard.
"How was your day? Did my baby bother you?"
Zhang Qiuye rubbed her belly pretentiously, "You're quite good, Master. How come you have time to come to my yard today?"
"Nonsense, isn't your family surnamed Li? I came here whenever I wanted. How about it? Do you remember what I said yesterday about giving you a surprise?"
Zhang Qiuye had already stuck to Li Jinyi, "Master, of course I remember what you said. Master, please don't keep me in suspense. What good stuff is it?"
Li Jinyi took the deed from his pocket and put it on the table. "Look for yourself!"
Zhang Qiuye took it and looked at it carefully, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "Master, you gave me twenty acres of land?"
"Well, are you satisfied now? I'll have someone look after this land for you, and the rent will be yours.
How is it? I am treating you well, can you calm down and give birth to my child safely this time?
"The master is so good to Qiuye, and Qiuye is not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for her. Don't worry, Qiuye will definitely give birth to the child safely this time."
Li Jinyi took the opportunity to pinch Zhang Qiuye's little face and said, "My eighth concubine is so good!"
