Chapter 940: Madam, can anyone see her?
Zhang Qiuye thought for a moment and said, "Manager Zhou, I won't negotiate the price with you anymore, and don't mention it for anyone's sake.
To be honest, this is the money my things are worth.”
Shopkeeper Zhou thought to himself, the deal is done, so whatever you say is what happens. He nodded and bowed to Zhang Qiuye, "You are right, you are right."
Zhang Qiuye raised his head and said, "However, I have to stay in this house for a few more days before I can give it to you."
"How many days?"
Shopkeeper Zhou was a little unhappy. Since you still live in this house, why are you selling it?
Zhang Qiuye could sense Shopkeeper Zhou's displeasure, and she replied unhappily, "Not much, two or three days at most. Once I finish the things I have on hand, I might move out tomorrow.
Manager Zhou, if you don't believe me, we can sign a document."
Shopkeeper Zhou was eager to do so. "We need a written receipt, otherwise I won't feel comfortable giving you the money."
Shopkeeper Zhou finished writing the receipt. Zhang Qiuye took a look at it and pressed his fingerprint on it. "Shopkeeper Zhou, you can rest assured now!
Go get me some silver. I only want fifty taels of silver in change. Change the rest into banknotes."
After the matter was done, Manager Zhou naturally followed Zhang Qiuye's instructions.
Zhang Qiuye took the silver and went to Li's house first instead of going home.
The people in the Li residence were surprised to see her. Zhang Qiuye looked at them arrogantly, "I'm here to return the money. I asked your wife to come out and see me."
The concierge stared at Zhang Qiuye as if she were a monster. "Madam is very busy and probably doesn't have time to see you."
"You haven't reported it yet, so how do you know that Madam won't see me?
I tell you, if you know what's good for you, go and report it quickly. If you delay, the lady will not forgive you."
The doorman curled his lips and muttered to himself, he really thinks he is a big shot.
Although he was somewhat reluctant, he still ran to the lady's yard.
The Chen family has sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that they will come to propose marriage in ten days. Qian Yulin is discussing with Li Jinyi how to deal with this matter.
After hearing the concierge's report, Li Jinyi spoke without waiting for Qian Yulin to speak, "You bastard, do you think anyone can see the Madam?"
The doorman was scolded and felt very dissatisfied. "Master, she said she came to return the money?"
“For the little money she owes, it’s still worth it for her to show up as a lady.
Aunt Liu, just find a maid and send her off casually."
After hearing what Li Jinyi said, Aunt Liu quickly replied, "Master, I will do it right away."
"Wait, tell the concierge that next time she comes to the Li residence, just find an excuse to send her away."
"Yes, sir."
Qian Yulin looked at Li Jinyi with a smile, "Master, it's not a big deal, why get angry!"
"We are busy with Yingrou's marriage, and I don't want this ungrateful woman to mess with us.
Madam, do you think Yingxin is also a fool given her condition? "
"Yingxin has been raised by my side since she was a child. Don't worry, Master. I'm sure she will grow up to be a well-behaved and graceful girl."
"That's right! How could I have forgotten this? Thank you for your hard work, ma'am.
Where were we talking about? Do you want your third brother from the capital to come back?
If it were such a big deal, I'd at least inform him."
Zhang Qiuye waited at the gatehouse for a while, but the gatekeeper didn't give her a good look. Zhang Qiuye cursed in her heart, "You are so short-sighted. I will make you suffer when I become rich."
Nanny Liu did not come out to see Zhang Qiuye either. She arranged for the two maids who went to ask for the silver yesterday to go.
"Remember, we're only charging the amount written on the paper. Not a penny more."
"Madam Liu, don't worry!
We understand your intention, and that is to prevent Miss Zhang from saying that we are taking advantage of her."
"Bah! How much has she gotten from our Li family? She used our Li family's money to support her old lover Zhou Jiu."
"I'm confused by what you said. How could such a gangster have bewitched Miss Zhang like that?
I know Zhou Jiu is not a good person, so how could she be fooled? "
"As the old saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. They must be attracted to each other."
"Miss Zhang looks quite smart, how could she have been fooled?"
"She's smart, you really flatter her. I think she's probably been cheated by Zhou Jiu and has lost everything!
Even so, she doesn't have a good reputation in this town! Everyone calls her vicious!"
Zhang Qiuye never expected that the Li family would actually let two maids come out to see her. She kept asking, "Where is the Madam? Why doesn't she come out to see me?"
"Oh, you really think you're a big shot. Our wife is very busy and has no time to see you."
The old woman blew a mouthful of spit and flipped the paper in her hand. "The account is very clear. You owe the Li family a total of 29 taels and 50 coins. Madam Liu has cancelled the 50 coins. Miss Zhang, just give us 29 taels of silver."
Zhang Qiuye gasped when she heard the twenty-nine taels of silver, wondering why the Li family didn't rob her. She clearly didn't do anything, so how could they have so much silver?
"Miss Zhang, you were sick for a few days and even consulted a doctor, who used a lot of expensive herbs.
If you don’t believe it, you can go ask a doctor.”
Zhang Qiuye put the silver on the table and said, "No need to change the thirty taels. Am I, Zhang Qiuye, that kind of stingy person?
By the way, please tell your wife that if she doesn’t see me now, she won’t regret it later.”
"Miss Zhang, what do you mean?
Are you some important person? Why did the lady come to see you?
Let me tell you, do you know what the lady is busy with?"
Zhang Qiuye looked at the two women with disdain. "What can she be busy with? Besides working like a slave for that bastard Li Jinyi, what else can she do?"
"Miss Zhang, don't blame me for not reminding you. This is at the Li family's house. If you dare to say anything nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart."
Zhang Qiuye looked at the two old women approaching her, and her feet couldn't help but step back nervously.
"Miss Zhang, let me tell you, if you're sensible, you'd better shut up.
In fact, our master and mistress have been very kind to you. Don't be complacent about the blessings you have.
If you leave the Li family as your backing, you won’t be able to make a living in Jinshui Town.”
“That’s right, this person, it’s better not to be ungrateful.
Oh, and I forgot to mention it just now, Miss Zhang, do you know what the Madam is busy with?"
"How would I know what she's busy with?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Zhang, I forgot that you are no longer a member of the Li family.
Never mind, it’s okay for me to tell you, our wife is busy with the eldest daughter’s marriage.”
"Your eldest lady is looking for a husband, so it seems that she is looking for one.
I just don’t know where these ugly things came from!
Who would marry into a family if they are good people? "
