Chapter 676 Is life difficult?
Li Yingyue was about to cry out of grievance, but she still held back her tears, "Dad, those shopkeepers and employees have been with our family for many years. They have always depended on us for their livelihood. If you kick them out now, how will they live?
Besides, I am doing this for the sake of the Li family."
Li Jinyuan waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, stop flattering yourself.
You can say you have no selfish motives, but you keep them just so you can use them when you open a shop in the future."
"Dad, what you said is true. My brother kicked people out of the shop and didn't allow them to find another shop to work in."
The more Li Jinyuan spoke, the more he felt guilty. Finally, he begged Li Yingyue, "Before you get married, why don't you go to the shop and teach your elder brother how to run the business?"
Li Yingyue thought of Li Qi's arrogant face and shook her head. "Big brother has been smarter than me since he was a child. It's just a business matter, not a big deal. He doesn't make money now, but maybe after a while, when he gets things sorted out, he can make money."
Li Jinyuan sighed and said nothing in the end.
Although Li Yingyue is going to get married soon, her life at home is extremely troublesome.
Because she didn't want to take care of family affairs, her family accused her of not caring about her parents' life or death.
She wanted to take charge of household affairs, but Li Qi was on guard against her in every way, and she ended up being branded as someone who coveted her parents' money.
So she simply stayed in her yard and didn't go out.
Li Yingyue has been looking forward to Zhang Juexia for a long time. Now that Zhang Juexia is here, Li Yingyue wants to talk about her troubles with him.
Zhang Juexia advised her to relax and be a beautiful bride.
Li Yingyue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I'll listen to my sister. Anyway, in this family, if I feel happy, I can come back to stay for a few days. If I don't want to go back, I won't come back in the future.
I will be filial to my parents in the best way I can, and I won’t consider anything else.
Sister, tell me, will Shen Lingchuan dislike me because I don’t have my family to support me?
"My silly sister, what does he dislike about you?
We have everything we want. You have the ability and the brains. Even though he was able to pass the imperial examination, when it comes to the ability to make money, he is not even half as good as you.
From now on, your family will have to rely on you to support it!
Yingyue, we don’t know about other female heroes, but Madam Shen is right next to us!
There are many things about her that are worth learning from.
Life is lived by us. I still like the Li Yingyue who was brave and fighting. Don’t be timid, Yingyue, that’s not you.
I believe Shen Lingchuan also likes the previous Li Yingyue, not the current Li Yingyue. "
Li Yingyue calmed herself down and carefully considered Zhang Juexia's words, "Sister, thank you for enlightening me.
Maybe it's because I'm too concerned, I've been overthinking it these past few days."
"That's right, no matter what we do, we must first stand up for ourselves.
Remember, in this world, we can't rely on anyone but ourselves.
After you get married, remember what I said and live a good life with Shen Lingchuan.
He takes his imperial examinations, and you do your business.
Supporting each other and making each other progress is the best relationship between two people.
There is no one higher or lower, we are all the same people."
Li Yingyue nodded and said, "I remember it."
Seeing that Li Yingyue looked interested, Zhang Juexia looked outside and saw that it was getting late, so he prepared to leave.
Li Yingyue asked Zhang Juexia, "Sister, if you have nothing to do tonight, why don't you accompany me to eat out.
I want to eat the food at Zuixianlou."
Zhang Juexia thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I have to send someone home to tell your brother-in-law so that he won't worry."
"I really envy the relationship between my sister and brother-in-law."
"Don't envy me. When you get married, you might be even more disgusted than us."
When the two were about to go out, Li Yingyue's mother Liu Wanru came in. After asking a few questions and learning that they were going out, she didn't say anything else.
After hesitating for a moment, she opened her mouth and said, "Mrs. Ye, can I take up a moment of your time? Let's talk for a few words, and then I'll leave."
Li Yingyue stepped forward to stop Liu Wanru, "Mom, why are you doing this? You have to make a big fuss about our family affairs and let the whole city know about it, right?
My daughter, I have already made the biggest concession, what else do you want me to do?"
Liu Wanru sighed awkwardly and looked at Zhang Juexia pitifully, meaning that she should come to the rescue.
Zhang Juexia persuaded Li Yingyue and looked at Liu Wanru with a smile, "Aunt, just say whatever you want to say. Given the relationship between Yingyue and me, there's no need for us to be polite.
And Auntie, just call me Juexia as before."
"I knew Madam Ye was a sensible person. Our Yingyue, ah, I spoiled her.
I am sorry to make you laugh."
"Aunt, what are you saying? I actually think Yingyue is very good. Otherwise, we wouldn't be sisters."
Liu Wanru smiled, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Ye is right."
Zhang Juexia stopped correcting Liu Wanru's way of addressing her. She patted Li Yingyue's hand and pointed forward, "Auntie, why don't we go to the front and talk."
"well!"
Liu Wanru and Zhang Juexia stopped in a pavilion in front. Liu Wanru was about to speak when she was interrupted by Zhang Juexia.
"Aunt, if you want me to persuade Yingyue to share the profits from the canned food business with you, then let's forget about this!"
Liu Wanru was stunned, but quickly adjusted herself, "Mrs. Ye, what a coincidence, this is exactly what I wanted to talk about, you see?
In fact, it has been really difficult for our family in the past two years. Yingyue's brother is not ambitious and is also conceited. The family business that used to make money has lost a lot of money when it came into his hands.
There is nothing we can do.
I was thinking that you and Yingyue are good friends, so why don't you help us persuade Yingyue? We all know how profitable the canned food business is.
We are not greedy, we only want 10% profit.
In fact, Yingyue won't lose much, but for me and the master, it will bring in some extra income, and life will be less difficult."
Zhang Juexia looked at Liu Wanru who was wiping her tears and said directly, "Aunt, is life difficult for you and uncle?
Do you have no food to eat or no place to sleep?
If it's really that difficult, I still have some money on me, you can spend it, and don't be polite to me."
As Zhang Juexia spoke, he took out some silver from his pocket and put it into Liu Wanru's hand without saying a word.
Liu Wanru had never seen such a situation before. Her purpose was to get a share of the canned food business, not the three walnuts and two dates in Zhang Juexia's hand.
