Chapter 866 Parting on bad terms
Zhang Qiuye pushed Zhou Jiu away suddenly, frowning and staring at Zhou Jiu with a pair of unwilling eyes.
"Zhou Lang, you keep calling me 'wife', and I almost thought I was your wife.
Tell me, when will you marry me in a formal ceremony and bring me home in a grand sedan chair?
If you don’t have that ability, don’t stay here with me.”
Zhou Jiu saw that Zhang Qiuye was angry, but he didn't get angry. He once again pulled her into his arms and said, "My dear wife, it's almost time."
Zhang Qiuye turned his head away in anger, "Humph, I'm not a three-year-old child, am I that easy to fool?
I heard that…"
Zhou Jiu immediately came forward and blocked Zhang Qiuye's mouth...
After a while, Zhou Jiu once again assured Zhang Qiuye, "I, Zhou Jiu, always keep my word. I will definitely marry you home as soon as possible.
I'm tired of this sneaky life."
Zhang Qiuye got Zhou Jiu's guarantee and thought that if she pushed him too hard, it would be considered that she was immature.
She pretended to be magnanimous and nodded to indicate that she knew about it.
She pouted and looked at Zhou Jiu lovingly, "Zhou Lang, I can't wait any longer and want to marry you soon.
Think about it, if I marry you, how can I not pay attention to our family business?"
"Yes, yes, I know my wife is the most considerate.
But, my wife, I am in trouble now. You know, after the weather gradually got warmer, the business of my hot pot shop has been getting worse day by day.
I heard that Madam Ye’s hot pot shop in Shunhe County is doing a booming business.”
Zhang Qiuye comforted Zhou Jiu, "Don't worry, my father just came today and he promised to accompany my mother to my sister's home in Shunhe County.
Then I will make my sister happy and ask her to give us some of the barbecue seasoning."
After hearing what Zhang Qiuye said, Zhou Jiu was so happy that he almost jumped for joy, "My wife, you are really a lucky star for your husband!
If you can get the barbecue seasoning, our hot pot shop will be saved.
When I earn some money, I will buy you a whole set of jewelry."
"You said it, don't forget what you said after you make some money."
"I can't forget it. I can forget anything, but I can't forget this."
Zhou Jiu was about to leave when he remembered something else. "My dear wife, I have one more thing to remind you. You must not cause trouble at Manager Yao's place again."
"Why?"
Zhang Qiuye looked at Zhou Jiu unconvincedly, "I suffered such a huge loss from her shop. I was thinking about asking you to help me make up for it one day!"
Zhou Jiu went forward and hugged Zhang Qiuye, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart. He had just been coaxed by Zhang Qiuye to stop calling the girl an idiot, but now he started calling her an idiot again.
But this time he was not so lucky. Zhang Qiuye heard all of Zhou Jiu's curses.
Zhang Qiuye looked at Zhou Jiu in disbelief, "Who are you calling an idiot?"
"I, I, okay?"
Zhou Jiu pointed at his mouth and looked at Zhang Qiuye angrily.
Zhang Qiuye was frightened by Zhou Jiu's appearance and looked at him with red eyes.
Zhou Jiu slapped himself in frustration, "My dear, I accidentally let it slip, don't blame me!
However, I still want to tell you, don't cause trouble at Manager Yao's place.
You can buy whatever fabric you want, but you can’t cause trouble.”
"I just don't understand. Isn't she just a cloth seller? What? Are you afraid of her?"
Zhou Jiu looked at Zhang Qiuye as if he didn't know her. "So you've been so devoted to giving birth to a child for Mr. Li in the backyard of the Li Mansion that you really don't know anything about what's going on outside?"
Zhang Qiuye was stunned. The time she spent in Li's house was something she never wanted to mention in her life.
Today, Zhou Jiu said it so bluntly.
She picked up a vase and threw it out, "Go away, I don't want to see you again.
Do you dislike me now?"
Zhou Jiu looked at Zhang Qiuye who was throwing a tantrum and felt very confused.
"You don't want to see me, and I don't want to see you either.
However, I still have to remind you that Manager Yao is no ordinary person as he has been able to run a shop in Jinshui Town for so many years.
Don't ignore the overall situation just for the sake of your momentary pleasure.
If you want to survive in Jinshui Town in the future, don't offend Shopkeeper Yao."
Zhou Jiu threw down his words and left angrily.
Tian Caihong wanted to hold Zhou Jiu back, but Zhou Jiu didn't give her a good look.
After leaving Zhang Qiuye's house, Zhou Jiu's expression eased a little. He was now a little impatient with Zhang Qiuye.
But when he thought about the next plan, he could only endure it for the time being.
He went to his hot pot shop while cursing the idiot.
As soon as I entered the shop, I saw my mother sitting in the shop.
No matter how bad Zhou Jiu was, he was still a filial son. When he saw his mother, he immediately put on a smile and leaned closer to Xu Zhen, "Mom, how come you have time to come here?"
Xu Zhen slapped Zhou Jiu in the face and said, "Tell me, were you fooling around with that little bitch Zhang Qiuye again?"
Zhou Jiu grimaced in pain, but he never dodged. When Xu Zhen was tired of beating him, he looked at her pitifully and said, "Mom, can't you be a little gentler?"
"I didn't hit you hard enough, can you remember that?
I just don’t understand. What is it about Zhang Qiuye that you like?
For her, you even disown me, your old mother, and your son, right?
I still say the same thing, unless I die, don't even think about marrying that little bitch, not even as a concubine.
Our Zhou family can't afford to lose that person!"
Xu Zhen wiped her tears while talking, and Zhou Jiu tried to persuade her, "Mom, don't cry anymore. You know, my shop's business has been bad recently. If you keep crying, I, your son, will die too. I..."
Xu Zhen raised her red eyes and looked at Zhou Jiu nervously, "Son, you know that this is not what I meant.
What mother means is that she wants you to turn back from your past. Your wife and son are waiting for you at home!
He is such a small child, he cannot be without a father!"
Zhou Jiu gritted his teeth and sat down in front of Xu Zhen, "Mom, I won't hide it from you anymore.
I had no choice but to be with Zhang Qiuye.
At the beginning, I really wanted to have some fun. After all, she has money, and if my son really gets together with her, it won’t be a loss.
But now, my son really needs her."
Xu Zhen picked up the tea bowl and splashed it on Zhou Jiu's face, "Do you still have any shame?
If you really want to marry that woman Zhang Qiuye, I will die!"
Zhou Jiu wiped the tea off his face and shouted anxiously, "Mom, can you let me finish what I'm saying?"
