Chapter 706: Not Knowing That He Has Enemies
Zhang Juexia became interested, "What's the matter?"
Shopkeeper Yao deliberately kept the question in suspense, "Guess?"
"I can't guess. There are so many things going on in his family. Who knows which one it is?"
Shopkeeper Yao took a sip of water and then said slowly, "Mrs. Li has finally made it through, and the Li family's concubines have been dismissed from the house.
However, Madam Li was really generous and gave each person 1,200 taels of silver as settling-in allowance.
I heard that these concubines were targeted by some people with ulterior motives before they even left the house.
However, in order to protect them, Mrs. Li also spoke out.
She treated all the concubines from the Li Mansion as sisters.
The Li Mansion will be their natal family from now on. Anyone who dares to bully them will be doing the Li Mansion a disservice.”
"That's like what Auntie does!"
"Mrs. Li is indeed thoughtful. For people in our town, having over a thousand taels of silver in hand means one is very wealthy.
She has good intentions to protect these sisters who have left the house from being plotted against by their families or those with ulterior motives."
"Um."
"There's some gossip in the Li Mansion, do you want to hear it?"
"Stop being so mysterious, okay?"
"This matter has something to do with your non-blood-related sister."
"She left the house too?"
Shopkeeper Yao nodded. "I heard she's already received her severance pay, but because she's not feeling well, she needs to recuperate at the Li residence for a while. She'll leave once she's better."
"She's already taken the silver. How much does it cost to buy medicine? Why is she making it so special?"
"I've given birth to a child before!"
"What difference does it make whether she gave birth or not?"
"Then guess who's the happiest when she leaves the house?"
"Who is it?"
Manager Yao glared at Zhang Juexia and said, "You are usually a smart person, but why are you so clueless when it comes to things like this?
Of course it’s her family!
I heard her mother has already started looking for a new husband for her."
"So soon, isn't she still here?"
"Hey, this kind of family doesn't have any scruples. I heard they're looking for a son-in-law. They made a lot of noise a few days ago, but they've been overshadowed by Zhou Jiu's hot pot shop these days.
Her mother is very interesting. She plans to buy a shop and land in the town.
Your father..."
Shopkeeper Yao realized that he had said the wrong thing, quickly covered his mouth, and looked at Zhang Juexia cautiously, "That I..."
Zhang Juexia gestured to Shopkeeper Yao, "Go on, I don't mind at all.
He is eager to be someone else's father, and I can't stop him!
He is also very proud, thinking that the money in Zhang Qiuye's pocket is his. "
"That's what they both meant."
"Zhang Qiuye has been good at pretending since she was little. I'm afraid that after they help her buy all these things, she'll chase them back to the village."
Shopkeeper Yao didn't quite understand what Zhang Juexia said, "No way, they are mother and daughter!
But what you said does make sense. A mother who truly loves her daughter would never let her daughter become a concubine of an old man!
The girl is lucky to have met a sensible master.
If you are unlucky, you will just be confined to that small yard and grow old for the rest of your life!"
"Let's not talk about Zhang Qiuye anymore. Let me ask you, does Mr. Li know that Zhang Qiuye's mother is making such a big fuss in town to find a son-in-law for Zhang Qiuye?"
“Of course I know!
However, since she has already written the divorce letter, she is no longer a member of the Li family. You can do whatever you want to her!
Who made him so cheap as to marry so many young wives?
These days, people in the town have been saying that this person just has to accept his fate.
You see, Mr. Li is destined to have no children, so no matter how hard he tries, it’s all in vain.”
Zhang Juexia just smiled and said, "I wonder if Yingrou's plan to find a husband has come to fruition."
"Don't worry about it. If she wants to find someone, she'll get married tomorrow.
After all, this is Yingrou's lifelong event, so Madam Li and Mr. Li will definitely be very cautious."
"Um."
Seeing that Zhang Juexia was a little tired, Manager Yao prepared to let her go home and rest.
When the two were about to go out from the backyard, they heard a commotion in front of them. Manager Yao called a young man over and asked casually.
The clerk told them, "A woman came to the shop ahead, very proud, and asked us to take out the best fabrics in the shop.
As a result, when we took it out, she complained about it and decided not to buy it.
Shopkeeper, in fact, the bottom line is that this person has no money, but he keeps saying that our things are expensive.
But you get what you pay for. Let her go to the Shengxia Embroidery Workshop across from us. The things there are really expensive!
But their stuff is good!
As a result, she became unhappy and started fighting with our people.
She also said…”
The young man raised his head and glanced at Zhang Juexia. Manager Yao was a little impatient. "What else did she say? She's just a woman. You're making things so difficult for you. You're really useless."
The young man lowered his head after being scolded by Shopkeeper Yao, but he still did not forget to argue for himself, "Shopkeeper, she said that she has a grudge against Mr. Zhang from Shengxia Embroidery Workshop, and she would not spend money on them even if she had it.
She also scolded us for being short-sighted and not giving her the best things, and for deliberately fooling her.
Tell me, this kind of person is just being unreasonable."
Shopkeeper Yao became angrier the more he listened. "I'm going to meet this guy. I want to see what kind of person he is.
I, Yao Tao, have run a shop in this town for many years and have met many people. How could I be afraid of her? "
Zhang Juexia followed him, "I'm going to take a look too. Why don't I remember having enemies in Jinshui Town?"
"I'm telling you, if things start to get rough, you'd better stay away from them."
"I know. Besides, this deal is right here at our doorstep. How can we argue with her? We have to make sure she buys something suitable before she leaves!"
Zhang Juexia walked up to the clerk and said to him, "Go to our Shengxia Embroidery Workshop and tell Shopkeeper Li that I said so. Ask him to give you two rolls of the finest silk."
The clerk glanced at Shopkeeper Yao, who waved his hand and said, "Do as Master Zhang says."
When Manager Yao and Zhang Juexia entered, Tian Caihong was in the middle of a commotion, "You guys are bullying me because you're a big store owner, using this rubbish to get rid of me.
Let me tell you, I've seen the world and I've seen all kinds of good things.
Besides, I am the kind of person who is short of money!"
Shopkeeper Yao came forward and said, "Madam, from what I've seen from afar, you're not someone who's short of money.
It's our fault. I apologize to you.
Please wait a moment. I have asked my servant to go to the warehouse to get our best silk.
Come on, why don't you have any sense at all? Hurry up and serve tea to this lady!"
Tian Caihong really enjoyed the feeling of being valued. She swaggered and sat down on the chair...
