Chapter 721: Moved
Wang Shulan glared at Li Yaqin. "It's all because of you. The Wang family wanted to matchmake for you with good intentions, but you rejected them without a second thought."
Li Yaqin's suppressed anger suddenly surfaced, "What do you mean I rejected my mother? Others don't know what's going on here, but you don't know?
Do they want me, your daughter, to be a concubine, or is it for the sake of their Wang family's business?
I was smart that time, otherwise I wouldn't be alive now."
"Pah, pah, what nonsense are you saying on New Year's Day.
Don't keep bringing this up. You're living a good life now."
"I have earned my good life now by myself, not by relying on the charity of the Wang family.
Mom, I'm going to say something you may not like to hear. My brother has taken the exam so many times, but he didn't even pass the examination to become a scholar.
He is not cut out for studying. It will be useless no matter where you send him to study.
You and dad are getting older, so it would be better for you to let him take over the family business.
Everyone relaxes a little.”
Wang Shulan frowned and said to Li Yaqin, "What are you talking about? If your elder brother gets into high school one day, wouldn't it be a great honor for you, a daughter who married out?"
Li Yaqin knew that her eldest brother was her parents' weak spot. She couldn't speak about it, and they weren't allowed to speak about it. She could only nod perfunctorily, "There is light, there is light."
Wang Shulan felt nervous. Why did she act so stupid today and start arguing with Yaqin? Well, she had to go along with her and get down to business.
She tried to force a smile, "My dear, well, today is worse than tomorrow, why don't we go to the Ye family now?"
"Now? Mom, are you crazy?
My mother-in-law has already asked someone to prepare the meal. If we run out at this hour, what will she think?"
"Then eat your meal and talk later!
My daughter, we can’t wait to make money. The sooner we get the recipe, the sooner we can make money.
Let me tell you, when we set out from Ninghe County to Shunhe County, we just heard that a hot pot restaurant was going to open in Anhe County.
I heard that the owner of the hot pot shop also bought the recipe from the Ye family."
After Wang Shulan finished speaking, she glanced at Li Yaqin and patted her gently, "Your father and I only have one daughter like you. Back then, for your marriage, we didn't hesitate to go against the Wang family, just because we wanted you to live a happy life.
Think about it, if we really got the hot pot recipe, we could still just take care of ourselves.
You just said that the Qin family also opened a restaurant. When I get the recipe, I will give it to you. You can also open a hot pot restaurant. Wouldn't it be more handy for me, son-in-law?"
While Wang Shulan was speaking, she kept staring at Li Yaqin and saw that her expression relaxed a little.
She continued, "You just need to bring the person to the Ye family and introduce each other.
Even if your mother-in-law asks you, you can come up with eight hundred excuses."
Li Yaqin's mind was in a mess. "Mom, let me think about it."
"Okay, think about it carefully."
The maid from Mrs. Qin's yard came over to tell them to come over for dinner.
Wang Shulan told Li Yaqin, "After dinner, let's go out.
I've already thought of the reason for you. I haven't been to Shunhe County for a long time, and I want to see the night view of Shunhe County again."
"What's so good about it? It's pitch dark."
"I said this to prevent your mother-in-law from getting suspicious."
After the meal, Wang Shulan and Mrs. Qin were talking happily, but Li Yaqin was depressed.
Wang Shulan also invited Mrs. Qin to watch the night view with her, but Mrs. Qin was so scared that she quickly declined, "It's so cold outside, and I'm in such a bad condition, forget it!
Yaqin, you are young, spend more time with your mother.
By the way, you can buy some good things from Shunhe County and let your mother take them back to Ninghe County."
Wang Shulan wanted to go out right away and quickly expressed her gratitude to Mrs. Qin.
After they came out of the Qin family's house, a carriage came to pick them up.
Wang Shulan introduced Li Yaqin, "Yaqin, this is the Manager Wang I told you about."
"Manager Wang, this is my daughter Yaqin."
The two of them nodded to each other as a greeting.
Manager Wang asked Li Yaqin where Zhang Juexia's home was.
Li Yaqin told Manager Wang, "Manager Wang, the hot pot shop opened by Madam Ye's family is just up ahead. Why don't we go there and take a look first?"
Li Yaqin's words were exactly what everyone wanted, and the carriage stopped in front of the Suibian Hotpot Shop.
Li Yaqin and Wang Shulan huddled together, lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.
"My goodness, it's already so late and there are still so many people here."
Even Steward Wang couldn't help but sigh, "There are so many people! It's so cold, and after walking this distance, it's only here that it's lively."
Let’s go!
After seeing the people in the hot pot shop, Li Yaqin secretly encouraged herself, thinking that it was for the Qin family!
If she really got the recipe, she might become a hero of the Qin family.
The carriage stopped in front of Ye's house. Wang Shulan gestured to Li Yaqin to knock on the door. Li Yaqin went forward and knocked on the door.
The doorman opened the door and looked at the stranger in front of him. "Who are you?"
"I'm Li Yaqin, the eldest young lady of the Qin family and the owner of the Qin family restaurant. I met your wife today."
The concierge frowned as he listened to Li Yaqin's introduction. "So what are you doing?"
"Please go in and tell them that I have something important to discuss with your wife."
"Then you wait!"
The concierge disappeared in a flash.
After listening to the report from the doorman, Zhang Juexia was also puzzled. She had indeed met the eldest lady of the Qin family during the day, but they had only exchanged a few words.
What is she coming for?
Li Yulan, who was chatting with Zhang Juexia, was even more interesting. "Sister-in-law, could it be that the clothes we bought during the day were too cheap, and after she came home and counted the money, she felt that they were not suitable, so she came to ask us for money again?"
Zhang Juexia couldn't help laughing after hearing what Li Yulan said.
"If that's the case, we've been happy in vain.
However, it’s so cold, we can’t let people stand at the door. Let’s invite them to the guest room!
I'll be right there."
After hearing the noise, Ye Beixiu walked out of the study and said, "I'll go with you!"
Zhang Juexia thought about it and said, "Okay then! However, this time the guest is a woman, so why don't you stay at the back for now."
"I will obey your orders, my lady."
When Li Yaqin and the other two were almost getting impatient waiting in the guest room, Zhang Juexia pushed the door open and walked in. "Madam Qin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Li Yaqin hurried forward to support Zhang Juexia, "Mrs. Ye, you are too polite. It is my fault. I should have sent you the invitation in advance.
It's just that things are urgent, so I have to be abrupt."
After Zhang Juexia said a few polite words, he realized that there were two other people in the guest room.
