Chapter 695: Puzzling Things
At Zhao Fugui's urging, Liu Cuiyu spoke out what she was thinking, "Dad, this is what I think. My eldest brother and I go to the city every day to do odd jobs. Not only are we tired, but we don't make much money either.
It would be better to ask my second sister if she has any connections to find a job for the two brothers.
Putting aside other things, just based on my relationship with my second sister, the work given to his two brothers will definitely be easier than it is now.
As for the following children, if they are boys, you can ask your second sister if they can work as a clerk in her nephew's shop.
If it's a girl, she can go to a workshop to learn embroidery.
Ultimately, it's all about finding a way for our next generation of kids to make a living."
Everyone in the Zhao family's eyes lit up when they heard Liu Cuiyu's words.
Li Lancao stopped complaining and was thinking about how to talk to Zhao Baofeng so that she could arrange a good livelihood for her and her children.
Liu Datao looked at Zhao Fugui cautiously, "Boss, when are we going to talk to Baofeng about this?"
Zhao Fugui thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, wait until Baofeng finishes taking care of Suyun's matter, then we can talk about it."
Then he raised his voice and said to the Zhao family, "Don't tell anyone about what we discussed today."
"Dad, we promise not to tell anyone about this unsuccessful attempt."
"Even if it works, don't tell anyone. We, the Zhao family, are a big family in the village. Baofeng helped us. If other people get wind of it and go looking for Baofeng, wouldn't that make things difficult for her?
Also, if this thing really happens, everyone must cheer up, work hard, and not embarrass Baofeng.
If it really doesn't work out, don't blame Baofeng. After all, her words don't count in this matter."
Li Lancao was full of confidence in the future and agreed with Zhao Fugui's words, "Dad, my second sister has a share of the big gold bracelet her niece-in-law bought. If she doesn't even give my second sister this little bit of face, wouldn't she be too heartless?"
"Old man, what are you talking about? Let's deal with it separately.
How can I be heartless? At least I am helping your second sister's family to make a living.
Don’t say this again in the future.
Your second sister has already given the things away, which shows that she did it willingly.
Besides, the money for buying the big gold bracelet was paid by your second sister. She can do whatever she wants and no one of us can interfere.
Of course, if you are not afraid of your second sister hearing this, just say it."
Li Lancao quickly shut up and admitted her mistake to Liu Datou.
To be honest, she was not stupid, and she didn't dare to offend Zhao Baofeng at this time.
As long as Zhao Baofeng could agree to help her children find a good place to live, she would be willing to do anything.

Pang Xiujuan and Ye Yunliang had a full meal at the Manfu Restaurant in the town, and then went to the dim sum shop to buy several large bags of dim sum. Only then did they prepare to return to the village.
After returning home, Pang Xiujuan looked at the big bags of snacks and kept grinning.
After she finished laughing, she remembered to ask Ye Yunliang, "Boss, how did you earn this money?"
Ye Yunliang told her mysteriously, "It's because I, the head of your household, am capable. Ye Beixiu and his wife are not the only ones who can make money. We can do it too.
I tell you, it won’t be long before I can buy you a house in the county town and hire two servants to serve you.
We will also send our son to the school in the county town to study."
Pang Xiujuan happily ate a piece of dessert and said, "I'm still the boss. I'm reliable!"
"However, the fact that I earn money must be kept secret!"
"Boss, I know it even if you don't tell me."
.
After Ren Tianxing came back from the town, he went straight to Zhang Juexia's house.
Zhang Juexia was looking at her big gold bracelet with Ye Beixiu. "Beixiu, to be honest, I never thought that my aunt would give me a big gold bracelet."
Ye Beixiu took Zhang Juexia into his arms and looked carefully at the large gold bracelet on her arm, "Although the workmanship is not very good, it is very good.
My aunt has loved me since I was a child and has always treated me as her own son.
But now that our lives are good, she doesn't come here often.
Juexia, just accept it with peace of mind."
"I know. I still remember the pair of shoes my aunt gave me when we first got married!"
Ye Beixiu didn't want Zhang Juexia to talk about the sad things in the past, "Okay, from now on, we just need to be filial to our uncle and aunt."
"Um!"
When Ren Tianxing ran in, Zhang Juexia was still lying in Ye Beixiu's arms. Ren Tianxing quickly turned around, "Um, me?"
Zhang Juexia quickly got up from Ye Beixiu's arms, and only after the two of them were seated did Ren Tianxing turn around.
The two people calmly let Ren Tianxing take a seat, and Ren Tianxing felt a little embarrassed.
Zhang Juexia was amused by his appearance, "Brother Tianxing, when is the date for your marriage with Li Zao?"
Ren Tianxing scratched his forehead uncomfortably. "Well, I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to listen to Li Zao. If she says it's the New Year, then it has to be celebrated."
Zhang Juexia was very satisfied with Ren Tianxing's answer, "Brother Tianxing, you are a real man."
Ren Tianxing chuckled, "Well, I've figured out where the people I followed today came from. The leader is called Zhou Jiu.
I think I started out by following Liu Hong."
"Zhou Jiu?"
Zhang Juexia also felt that the name sounded familiar. She remembered the time when her shop was smashed and there seemed to be such a person there.
Ren Tianxing continued, "I found out indirectly that they knew we were making money at the hot pot shop in the county town, and instead of going the proper way, they were thinking of taking a side path.
Someone deliberately stole Ye Yunliang's purse when he went to town. With Zhou Jiu's help, Ye Yunliang got his wallet back."
"When Zhou Jiu learned that Ye Yunliang was the third uncle of Ye Beixiu, a successful candidate, he complimented Ye Yunliang and then began to treat him like a brother.
Brother Tianxing, am I right?"
"Yes, that's the routine."
"Finally, they persuaded Ye Yunliang to steal the hot pot recipe, and then they paid two hundred taels of silver to buy it.
Brother Tianxing, have you seen the hot pot recipe that Ye Yunliang gave to Zhou Jiu?"
Ye Tianxing shook his head, "I have never seen this.
However, the way I looked at Zhou Jiu, he seemed determined to win.
He has already asked his brothers to start promoting the business in town today, and has already chosen a location for the shop. All that’s left is to open it for business.”
Ye Beixiu said puzzledly, "I asked Beilin, but Uncle San didn't even go into the kitchen that day, and Beilin never directly answered the questions he asked.
How did Third Uncle get the recipe for Zhou Jiu?
"It's not that difficult. When Zhou Jiu's shop opens, we can go and try the food and we'll know for sure."
“That’s right!”
