Chapter 75 I'm Not a Good Person
Qin Lianhua knelt down in front of Zhang Juexia without thinking, and told him her experience with tears and snot.
The road out of Yejia Village is too narrow, so it is impossible for Zhang Juexia to bypass Qin Lianhua.
She frowned as she listened to Qin Lianhua's words, "So, today I can only help my husband take you in, so that I can show that I am a virtuous wife?"
Qin Lianhua's eyes were filled with tears and anticipation.
Ye Beishan, who was in the carriage, could no longer contain his emotions. He opened the carriage curtain and jumped off angrily, "Xia'er, no. The Qin family hurt Bei Xiu the most. She is doing this because she wants something."
Qin Lianhua dodged back and looked at Ye Beishan innocently, "Brother Beishan, has Lianhua ever offended you before? Why are you treating Lianhua like this?"
Zhang Juexia got goosebumps all over her body. If she didn't know Qin Lianhua's family background, she would have thought she came from a brothel.
Zhang Juexia calmed down and asked, "Are you really willing to be my concubine?"
"I am willing. As long as you agree, I will serve you like a slave."
"I remember that there seems to be a rule in our Great Zhou laws that a lady can sell her concubines at will.
Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sell you out?”
"The lady is kind and beautiful, she will never do that."
Zhang Juexia held the horsewhip in his hand, swinging it back and forth carelessly. "Are you so sure that I'm a good person?"
Qin Lianhua's heart was beating fast, but she couldn't turn back after shooting the arrow. "I believe it."
Zhang Juexia burst into laughter.
"Since you want to be my concubine so much, I will help you get it done tonight."
Qin Lianhua's face showed surprise. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhang Juexia. "Thank you, Madam. From now on, I will be very obedient and serve you and my husband well."
"Don't worry, just listen to what I have to say.
Who are you to me? Why should I help you?
The reason you are so eager to follow Ye Beixiu is because he built a new house and bought land, and you think that if you follow him, you can live a good life.
But have you ever thought that if a good life is so easy to come by, wouldn’t it be too unfair to those who work hard to make a living?
Since we are from the same village, I will tell you the truth.
I agreed to this because I think you have some talent and could be worth some money if sold to a brothel.
Maybe I'll sell you tomorrow."
Qin Lianhua was so frightened that her face turned paler and her lips trembled. She wanted to say something but couldn't make a sound.
Zhang Juexia snorted coldly, "With this little courage, you still want to make a living under my command.
I tell you, I have many tricks up my sleeve, so you have to think carefully about them."
Zhang Juexia jumped onto the carriage and looked down at Qin Lianhua, "Why don't you get out of the way?"
Qin Lianhua took great effort to get up from the ground, with a look of unwillingness on her face.
Zhang Juexia waved her whip in the air and said, "I am not a kind person, you can't fool me.
If you have that much free time, you might as well persuade your family not to sell you to that widower, or think about how to outlive that widower."
Zhang Juexia walked away.
The dust raised from the ground blinded Qin Lianhua's eyes, and she wanted to cry but had no tears.
On the way to Jinshui Town, Zhang Juexia specifically asked Ye Beishan about Qin Lianhua's past.
There is nothing wrong with what Ye Beixiu said.
"The Qin family is an outsider, and Granny Qin is good at scheming. She came to our family because Bei Xiu was a good hunter and could earn money."
"Logically speaking, grandpa and grandma might not be impressed by the Qin family's tradition..."
"These things were all arranged by Third Aunt. At that time, in order to get married into our family, Mrs. Qin secretly flattered Third Aunt a lot.
Aunt Three really likes Qin Lianhua's personality."
After Ye Beishan said this, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He deliberately stuck his head out and looked at Zhang Juexia's expression. Only after seeing that there was nothing wrong with her did he feel relieved.
Zhang Juexia curled her lips and smiled at Ye Beishan's little action.
What’s the point whether Pang Xiujuan likes it or not.
She is not living with Pang Xiujuan.
Ye Beishan added in the carriage, "The Qin family is just like this, relying on selling their daughters to make money. They are unique in our Yejia Village. It's just a pity for their daughter."
"People like Qin Lianhua may not be worthy of pity."
Zhang Juexia remembered that he still had the IOU from Mrs. Qin at home, so he had to go to her house to ask for it, which would add fuel to the fire of Qin Lianhua's affair.
If Qin Lianhua hadn't plotted against her, she might have shown mercy.
Now that Qin Lianhua doesn't leave Yejia Village, it will be a hidden danger to both her and Ye Beixiu.
Zhang Juexia didn't want to be bothered by trivial matters like Qin Lianhua, so he talked to Ye Beishan about Ye Beixiu's childhood.
"Bei Xiu was quite smart when he was young. His second uncle sent him to a private school for two years, and the teachers all praised him.
If it weren't for my second uncle's accident, maybe our family would have produced a scholar."
Zhang Juexia agreed with Ye Beishan's words. She deliberately joked, "If he had passed the imperial examination, then we might not have known each other."
Ye Beishan laughed heartily. "Bei Xiu's behavior is truly admirable. To be honest, I was really shocked when he first started clamoring to separate. If it were me, I wouldn't have the courage to do that."
As they were talking, they arrived at Jinshui Town.
After entering the city gate, Zhang Juexia went straight to Manfu Restaurant.
Wan Xi was so happy to see Zhang Juexia that she smiled and said, "Ms. Ye, you really keep your word."
After Zhang Juexia exchanged greetings with him, he said, "Manager Wan, please have sixty hares inspected."
"Send it directly to the kitchen and ask for Wang Dong."
Wang Dong asked the kitchen staff to help Zhang Juexia move the hare off the carriage.
This time Zhang Juexia did not raise the price, so Wang Dong took the initiative to increase the price of the hare from 25 cents per catty to 28 cents.
"Miss Ye, when the weather gets colder, fewer people will go hunting, so we should raise the price of game appropriately."
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
The sixty wild rabbits weighed a total of two hundred and seventy kilograms. Wang Dong took out seven taels and five hundred and sixty coins and handed them to Zhang Juexia.
Zhang Juexia took advantage of the fact that no one was around and gave Wang Dong two hundred coins. "Brother Wang, you've helped us a lot on a daily basis. This is a small token of our appreciation. Please have some wine."
Wang Dong took it with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."
Zhang Juexia exchanged a few polite words with Wang Dong, then left the kitchen and went to the front to find the shopkeeper Wan Xi.
She took out the basket from the carriage and handed it to Wan Xi. "Manager Wan, thank you for your care every day. Here are some food I made at home. Please take a try."
Wan Xi took it without hesitation.
Because he was in the restaurant business, he was interested in food when he heard about it, so he opened the basket and took a look, and saw two pottery jars inside.
"What kind of delicious food is this? It's so mysterious."
