Chapter 497 Li Yingrou's Thoughts
After Ye Beixiu returned from Jinshui Town, he placed the land deed in Zhang Juexia's hands and said, "My dear, please take a closer look. I have already arranged for you to have 150 acres of land."
Zhang Juexia, the money-grubber, was happy to take the deed. He read it carefully several times before reluctantly putting it in his little box.
Ye Beixiu came forward, and Zhang Juexia deliberately said, "Don't look at it, these are all good things."
Ye Beixiu was not annoyed, he stood up happily and said, "If my wife doesn't allow me to watch, then I won't watch.
From now on, I have to take good care of my wife. I still rely on her for my livelihood!"
Zhang Juexia nodded proudly, "Well, come and smile for me, and I'll give you some silver."
Ye Beixiu pulled Zhang Juexia into his arms and said, "My wife, is your husband so easy to bully?"
Zhang Juexia kissed Ye Beixiu and then stared at him carefully, "Well, he is indeed a feast for the eyes.
You said such a handsome husband, who gave me the courage to let you go?"
Ye Beixiu felt hot all over after being kissed by Zhang Juexia. He was about to pull Zhang Juexia's clothes with his hands, but Liu Mingda's words quickly came to his ears.
He let go of Zhang Juexia and said, "My wife, I am thirsty. Please pour me some water."
Zhang Juexia reluctantly got off Ye Beixiu and went to pour him some water.
Ye Beixiu looked at Zhang Juexia's figure swaying in front of him, and he felt more and more unbearable.
He persuaded himself to be patient, to be patient...
Ye Beixiu drank all the water Zhang Juexia brought him in one breath, which made Zhang Juexia tremble with fear. "Can't you slow down a little? There's plenty of water."
Ye Beixiu wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand and said, "I'm used to it."
After Ye Beixiu finished drinking the water, the two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Ye Beixiu stood up, "Um, me?"
"you?"
Afterwards, Ye Beixiu sat down again and gestured to Zhang Juexia, "Madam, you speak first."
Zhang Juexia was suddenly interrupted, and he couldn't think of what to say for a moment, "Um, me?"
"Madam, are you wondering if the land purchase process went smoothly?"
"Yes, that's right."
“When I arrived in Jinshui Town, I went to the Li Mansion. My aunt had already arranged for Butler Li Zhong to wait for me.
In fact, it was Steward Li who helped with the whole process. I just showed up when it came to processing the land deed."
"oh......"
"However, when I came back from town, I ran into Fang Lan and Liu Sanle fighting in the street."
"Why?"
"It must be because of the land sale. Liu Sanle asked Fang Lan for money. Anyway, the situation was quite fierce."
Zhang Juexia stared at the windowsill thoughtfully. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ye Beixiu continued, "I had lunch at Manager Yao's house, and I heard her talk about Fang Lan and Liu Sanle.
Before Liu Sanle came to our house, he had already divided the family property with the patriarch and Fang Lan, and he asked for a house and fifty acres of land.
Fang Lan only had one hundred acres of land under her name, so she sold a piece of Liu Sanle's land as well.
As for whether they had any discussion among themselves, I don’t know.
This time, the head of the Liu family and Liu Hong's close relatives put pressure on Fang Lan, otherwise she would not sell the land.
I heard that the head of the Liu family has already found someone from the Liu family's immediate family, and will go to Qingling City with Fang Lan to bring Liu Hong home."
"What about their shop? Have you arranged everything for the embroiderers?
"Xiucai Embroidery Shop has closed down. I heard Fang Lan wanted to become a sub-landlord and rent out the shop, but the original landlord found out and threw out her things.
All the embroiderers from Xiucai Embroidery Workshop who are willing to work in our workshop or with Manager Yao, and who have good character, are now working.
Manager Li Xi will let Aunt Wang take charge of our new workshop first. They said they will discuss the specific matters with you after you give birth to the baby.
They also promised me that they would do everything they could, and if they couldn't do it, they would consult you."
Zhang Juexia was delighted to hear this. "What a fate I have! All these people here know how to think about me."
Seeing Zhang Juexia's face filled with a happy smile, her little mouth opening and closing, Ye Beixiu reached out and scratched her nose, "My wife is so lucky."
The two of them talked about some other topics, and Zhang Juexia felt sleepy as they talked.
The days passed in such an ordinary way. Li Yingrou was obedient and came to see Zhang Juexia every day.
Ever since Zhang Juexia listened to Ye Beixiu's advice, he and Li Yingrou have been getting along very well. Sometimes they go shopping together, and sometimes they stay in their own shop. Anyway, with someone to keep them company, life is not so difficult.
Zhang Juexia also discovered Li Yingrou's strengths and felt that her business acumen seemed to be slightly better than Li Yingyue's.
Zhang Juexia naturally encouraged Li Yingrou. Li Yingrou got Zhang Juexia's affirmation and became more confident.
The two of them became sisters who could talk about anything. That day, Li Yingrou suddenly asked Zhang Juexia, "Sister, is our eighth concubine really your sister?"
Zhang Juexia hesitated for a moment, thinking over his words, and prepared to answer Li Yingrou.
Li Yingrou went on to explain, "If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to. I just overheard the servants mention this matter. Actually, I was just curious."
"Are you curious about why this person doesn't marry someone for no reason, but instead rushes to become someone's concubine?"
Li Yingrou nodded, "However, I'm also curious, if you are sisters, why is there such a big gap between you.
To be honest, I really hate the eighth concubine in my family.
She took advantage of her pregnancy and caused a huge commotion.
My elder sister is pregnant now, and she is still doing what she should do. She has become the ancestor of our family, my mother!
For my father to have an heir, no matter how much she makes trouble, I will indulge her."
Zhang Juexia had no say in the affairs of the Li Mansion. She understood it in her heart and she was not interested.
But since Li Yingrou was talking, she had no choice but to pretend to listen.
Li Yingrou sighed, "Ah, sister, I really don't want to grow up. I'm afraid that I'll end up living a life like my mother's.
She clearly didn't want my father to take a concubine, but in order for the Li family to have a successor, she had no choice but to let my father take a concubine.
She also has to manage the household and take care of my father's women.
My dad doesn't care about the family business, and he doesn't care about the business either. My mom supports everything. What's the point of getting married, you know?
Zhang Juexia saw Li Yingrou, a little girl with a worried look on her face, so he gently pointed at her forehead and said, "You are so young now. Be careful that your face will have too many wrinkles and you won't be able to get married."
"It's even better if I can't get married. I can help my mother at home and support our Li family.
I want to tell them that girls are not necessarily weaker than boys."
