Chapter 425 Is it difficult?
Wang Yuying was still worried and kept muttering, "We don't have anything good to give you at home. We have two fat hens. I'll have them kill them and make soup for you to nourish your body.
There is also a pig's leg. It was just slaughtered this morning by Hu the butcher in our village. Your uncle went to wait for it early in the morning, fearing that Hu the butcher would accidentally give it to someone else.
That basket of eggs is something I just collected, so they are fresh too."
Zhang Juexia felt warm inside as he listened to Wang Yuying's chatter. It was really nice to have someone care about you. "Auntie, this is really great! Everything is fresh. It's hard to buy these things in the county town."
Wang Yuying was delighted when she heard what Zhang Juexia said. "As long as you like it, I'll bring it back to you next time your aunt comes."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Ye Beixiu asked Zhang Dequan and Wang Yuying to take a seat, and Li Yun had someone serve them tea.
Zhang Dequan was very satisfied with Zhang Juexia's current life. After he said a few good words, even Zhang Erzhuang, who was sitting next to him, felt embarrassed.
"Dad, you and Sister Juexia should get down to business! We're all family, I don't know why you're being so long-winded."
Wang Yuying scolded Zhang Erzhuang, "Erzhuang, don't be rude."
"Sister Juexia is not an outsider, right, Sister Juexia?"
"right!"
Zhang Juexia smiled and stood up to fill Zhang Dequan and Wang Yuying's cups with tea. Then he looked at Zhang Dequan and said, "Uncle, if I'm not mistaken, you and Auntie came here because of Erzhuang's matter, right?"
"Exactly. I'm afraid Erzhuang's matter will cause trouble for you."
"Uncle, I told Erzhuang clearly last time that he can open a shop in the county or in the town wherever he likes.
However, we have agreed in advance that I don’t keep idle people or lazy people here.
Another point is that one must have good character.”
Zhang Dequan made repeated promises, and Zhang Erzhuang also stood up and pledged his loyalty, "Sister Juexia, I will definitely do my best and will never embarrass you."
Zhang Juexia looked at Zhang Erzhuang's attitude and nodded with satisfaction. "Ever since I agreed with you last time, I've been waiting for you to come, but in the end, I waited and waited, but you didn't show up."
Zhang Erzhuang scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "It's my dad's fault. He insisted that there was too much chores around the house and only let me go after I finished the chores."
Zhang Juexia said that he was fine, "Well, have you thought about what you want to do?"
"Can I choose?"
"Of course. You are my brother after all. How can you not even have this little convenience?"
Zhang Dequan listened to the conversation between the siblings and was the first to get restless. "Juexia, you can't spoil him, and you can't let him break the rules of your shop."
Wang Yuying also said that this is not acceptable.
Ye Beixiu said with a smile, "Uncle, aunt, it's okay. Let Erzhuang brother think about this matter carefully. We will listen to him."
Ye Beixiu expressed his opinion, and if Zhang Dequan and Wang Yuying said anything else, it would seem a bit pretentious.
Zhang Erzhuang took the opportunity to ask Zhang Juexia, "Sister Juexia, can you help me tell me what kind of work is available in our shop and how I can choose?"
Zhang Juexia thought for a moment and said, "Now that you can read, you'll have more options. Accountant, if you don't want to choose either of these two jobs, I might build another workshop in a while, and you can go in as a manager."
Zhang Erzhuang shook his head repeatedly, "Sister Juexia, you think too highly of me, forget about the job of manager for now.
Also, I want to ask, which job can make me a shopkeeper in the future?"
Zhang Dequan almost spit out the tea in his mouth, "Er Zhuang, don't be ungrateful. You think Sister Xia has helped you enough because we are a family.
You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you're already thinking about becoming a shopkeeper."
Zhang Erzhuang quickly explained, "Dad, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that if you do a good job, you can get a commission and become the shopkeeper."
Zhang Juexia looked at Zhang Erzhuang with a smile, "Yes, young man, you have a bright future. You want to work in a shop in the county town."
"Sister Juexia, that's for sure. You've definitely seen more of the world in the county than in the town."
"Then will my uncle and aunt be willing to give it up?"
Zhang Dequan waved his hand and said, "If we were reluctant, we wouldn't have the nerve to come to you.
Juexia, if you feel embarrassed about Erzhuang’s matter, just forget it!
As long as you live a good life, we will be at ease."
Zhang Juexia gave Ye Beixiu a look. Alas, in the eyes of the older generation, she was married after all, and it was up to the men to take charge of the household, only then would they feel more at ease.
After Ye Beixiu gave Zhang Juexia a look that made her optimistic, he asked Zhang Dequan, "Uncle, why don't we let Juexia and Auntie have a private chat while the three of us go to the shop in front and take a look."
Zhang Erzhuang had lost his patience for a long time. After hearing Ye Beixiu's suggestion, he stood up and said, "Dad, my brother-in-law is right. Please don't dwell on my affairs.
Let's go to the shop and take a look. If Sister Juexia's business is not good and she wants to support me, a freeloader, for the sake of her relatives' face, I will make other plans. I don't want to cause trouble for Sister Juexia.
However, if Sister Juexia's shop does good business, I will definitely work hard in her shop.
To be honest, working in Sister Juexia's shop is better than working in other people's shops.
At the very least, Sister Juexia will teach me seriously, so that I can become the shopkeeper in a few years and let you and mother enjoy happiness sooner."
Wang Yuying pointed at Zhang Erzhuang and said with a smile, "You haven't done anything yet, and you're already thinking about letting us enjoy ourselves.
You, stop talking and follow your brother-in-law to the shop to take a look!"
After Ye Beixiu and the others left, Wang Yuying breathed a sigh of relief. "I always feel pressured when my son-in-law is here."
Zhang Juexia smiled. "Aunt, he's actually a nice guy. Don't think of him as a scholar, just think of him as a hunter in the mountains."
"What you said is obvious. Our son-in-law is a scholar, but you insist on saying that he is a hunter.
Look at his current demeanor. If he were to move forward, he would be a scholar, and there's no way he'd be a hunter."
"Even if he becomes the top scholar, he is still the son-in-law of the Zhang family. Auntie is his elder in front of him, so there is no need to pay too much attention to him."
"That won't do. We don't have that rule. Juexia, your uncle and the others are out. Tell the truth about Erzhuang's matter. I hope it won't embarrass you!"
Although Zhang Juexia knew that Wang Yuying and the others meant well, their repeated questions were really driving him crazy.
She shook her head repeatedly, "Aunt, it's not difficult at all. Let me tell you the truth, business is booming right now, and I'm just worried about not having enough staff!"
"That's good, that's good, now we can feel at ease."
