Chapter 871: Not as good as your sister, you can’t argue with her
Zhou Jiu pushed Zhang Qiuye aside, meaning to ask her not to delay her work.
Zhang Qiuye quickly understood, "Erzhuang, let's talk over there!"
Zhang Qiuye pulled Zhang Erzhuang to a secluded place without saying anything. Before Zhang Erzhuang could speak, she quickly said, "Erzhuang, I'm here to look for my sister. Is she home?"
Zhang Erzhuang looked at Zhang Qiuye carefully. To be honest, he knew exactly what kind of person Zhang Qiuye was before she got married. Now, she came to inquire about Sister Jue Xia's whereabouts. She must have something to ask of her.
Zhang Erzhuang didn't even think about it and replied directly, "Sister Juexia is not at home."
Zhang Qiuye didn't believe it, "Erzhuang, you don't have to lie to me. I saw her in Jinshui Town yesterday!"
Things kept happening in the shop today, and Zhang Erzhuang was getting anxious. He didn't show any good looks to Zhang Qiuye. "Sister Juexia's house is in the backyard, why don't you go ask her? Why are you asking me again?"
After leaving a message, Zhang Erzhuang didn't even look at Zhang Qiuye and went to do his work.
Zhang Qiuye wanted to pull Zhang Erzhuang, but failed.
Zhou Jiu stopped Zhang Qiuye and said, "Manager Zhang is so busy, why don't we go to the backyard and take a look?"
Zhang Qiuye and Zhou Jiu went to the backyard. Yang Zhi knew Zhang Qiuye. Although he didn't like her, he still had the least courtesy. "Second Miss, I'm so sorry, my wife is really not at home."
Zhang Qiuye was even more puzzled. "I clearly saw her in Jinshui Town yesterday, so where did she go?"
"My wife has already left instructions, so I'm sorry I can't tell you."
Zhang Qiuye was a little anxious, "What about my brother-in-law?"
"The master is not at home either."
"Is it such a coincidence? Then where did he go?"
"Second Miss, I'm truly sorry. I can't tell you the whereabouts of the Master and the Madam."
Yang Zhi had already made the move to send the guest away, but Zhang Qiuye was still a little unwilling, "I really have something urgent to discuss, I need to see your wife."
"Second Miss, Madam has instructed that if you really need to find her for something urgent, I can help you make the decision."
"You? Forget it!
Then tell me, when will my sister be back?"
"That's hard to say!"
"you!"
Zhang Qiuye was about to lose his temper when Zhou Jiu stopped him. "Brother, I'm talking about what if, if there really was an emergency at your house and you needed help from your master and mistress, how would you handle it?"
Yang Zhi replied unhappily, "That's our family's business, you don't need to worry about it."
"I have something urgent to discuss with my sister, what do you think we should do about this?
I just don't believe it. If you delay things, won't your wife punish you?"
"Our wife has given instructions. You can tell me."
"Why should I tell you this? Is it just because you have a big face?"
Zhang Qiuye glared at Yang Zhi unconvinced, and Yang Zhi pretended to see him off.
Zhou Jiu apologized with a smile, "My wife is not sensible, big brother, please don't take it to heart.
How about this, we'll come back when your wife is home!"
Yang Zhi looked Zhou Jiu up and down, thinking that although the relationship between the Madam and her non-blood-related sister was not very good, if she got married, she would probably tell the Madam.
But I haven't heard any news about this man getting married! Where did this man come from? Could he be her lover?
Yang Zhi couldn't help but glance at Zhang Qiuye again.
Zhang Qiuye happened to turn around and talk to Zhou Jiu. The intimacy between the two made Yang Zhi confirm without any ambiguity that the man in front of him was Zhang Qiuye's lover.
Zhang Qiuye and Zhou Jiu agreed, "Since my sister is not at home, I won't disturb her.
I'll come back tomorrow, okay?"
"I've told you so many times, my wife isn't home lately, so it's useless for you to come."
"Then can't you tell me when my sister will be home?"
"I told you, I don't know either."
As Yang Zhi spoke, he sent Zhang Qiuye out of the house.
Zhang Qiuye stamped his feet in anger, "I never thought these people would be so tight-lipped."
"This shows that your sister is a very capable housekeeper. Unlike your family, if your mother doesn't keep an eye on it, your servants will slack off."
Zhang Qiuye was unhappy after hearing what Zhou Jiu said, "So you mean to say that I am not as good as my sister."
“Use your toes to think about it, you are not as good as your sister.
Qiuye, this is not something you can argue about. If you are better than your sister, you can open a few shops like her."
“Who doesn’t know how to open a shop?
Zhou Jiu, don't look down on me. I'll show you how to do it when we get back."
Zhou Jiu was not annoyed, "I tell you, it's easy to open a shop, but it's hard to make money.
Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. Let’s go try the barbecue at your sister’s house!
I tell you, once you’ve tasted it, you’ll know it’s worth it even if we make a few more trips.”
When Zhou Jiu brought Zhang Qiuye there, there was no room left in the hot pot shop.
Zhang Qiuye was about to introduce herself when Zhou Jiu whispered in her ear, "Are you sure you can eat skewers if you tell me who you are?"
Zhang Qiuye hesitated. Zhou Jiu raised the corner of his mouth, took out a small piece of silver from his pocket, and forced it into the waiter's hand, "My wife and I came from afar just to taste the specialty of your shop.
We have come all the way here, it would be a shame if we can't eat.
In consideration of our sincerity, could you please help us find a place for the two of us, any corner will do.
As long as we have enough to eat, we are not picky."
Seeing Zhou Jiu's pitiful appearance, the waiter softened his heart and returned the silver in his hand, "Sir, our shop has a rule that we cannot take tips from customers.
How about this, I'll tell our shopkeeper about your situation and see if he can help you find a solution."
"Then I'll trouble you."
"polite."
Zhang Qiuye glared at Zhou Jiu with disdain, "Does your method work?"
"Let's wait a moment. We don't have any better solution."
Zhang Qiuye's legs were sore from waiting, and then the waiter came running over and said, "Two guests, our boss has found a place for you."
"Thank you so much."
"You can say thank you later. I'll show you around first. If you like it, you can eat here. If not, go somewhere else!"
The young man really took Zhou Jiu and Zhang Qiuye to a remote corner, where the two could barely find a place to stay.
Zhou Jiu ignored Zhang Qiuye's pouting face and replied to the waiter with satisfaction, "Okay, no problem. How do we order?"
"I'll get the menu."
The waiter brought the menu again and helped Zhou Jiu order the dishes before leaving carefully.
Zhang Qiuye shifted his body and complained to Zhou Jiu, "I just don't understand. We're all spending the same money, why are we suffering like this?"
Zhou Jiu's mind was full of thoughts about how the barbecue would taste. He was no longer accustomed to Zhang Qiuye. He pointed at the door of the shop and said, "If you don't want to eat, get out now."
