Chapter 96 Catching Mrs. Li’s Eyes
Tian Caihong went to the backyard of Li's house cursing, and she didn't look happy when she saw Zhang Qiuye.
When Zhang Qiuye asked the reason, Tian Caihong told him everything.
"Zhang Juexia unexpectedly became an honored guest in your house. Your father and I were chased to the side door by that housekeeper Li, and she arrogantly entered your house through the main gate.
Not to mention, she actually dared to look down on me.
Qiuye, you must fight for your honor and try to have a boy in one stroke, so that those who look down on others will regret it!
Zhang Qiuye was also furious after hearing what Tian Caihong said, "Chuncao, go to the front and ask around. I'd like to see who the distinguished guest is that is being entertained at the mansion today.
He's just a poor family, why is there such a big fuss going on?"
Chuncao was eager to leave, and when she heard Zhang Qiuye asked her to do something, she quickly slipped away.
On the way to the front yard, Chuncao deliberately dawdled, she felt very sad!
I originally thought that since the eighth concubine was pregnant, it would be a lucrative job for her to serve her.
Who would have thought that not only would she meet a master with a bad brain, but even her family members were abnormal.
Zhang Juexia was welcomed into the Li Mansion by Li Zhong. Before he had gone far, Li Yingyue came out to greet him.
She enthusiastically pulled Zhang Juexia towards the main hall.
Zhang Juexia walked into the house empty-handed, feeling quite embarrassed.
I should have known not to listen to Li Yingyue. At least she brought a box of snacks, so I wouldn’t feel embarrassed.
"Sister, you have to relax and feel like you are at home.
My uncle's family has everything they need, but my aunt is usually very quiet because she likes people around.
When you come to town for business next time, go talk to her. I think my aunt will like you, given your personality."
Li Yingyue's words made Zhang Juexia feel relieved.
"Sister, are we almost there? Your yard is really big. My legs hurt from walking so much."
"Sister is joking again."
Qian Yulin was already waiting for them at the door of the main hall. When she saw that the person coming was Zhang Juexia, she was slightly stunned, but quickly greeted him with a smile.
"I've been hearing Yue'er nagging about finding a sister every day. Today I finally believe it. Look how close these two sisters are."
Zhang Juexia quickly knelt and saluted Qian Yulin, "Hello, Madam!"
"Okay, okay, okay, come in quickly. Rou'er, your sisters are here, come out and greet them."
A girl with pretty face, fair skin and sweet smile came over.
"Hello Sister Juexia, my name is Li Yingrou."
Li Yingyue pointed at her and said jokingly, "You are quite clever."
Li Yingrou stuck out her tongue at Li Yingyue. Qian Yulin looked at the two sisters lovingly, "These two sisters are not worth being laughed at."
Zhang Juexia smiled and said, "Madam is so polite. My two sisters are truly enviable."
The servants of the Li Mansion had already prepared the banquet and were waiting for everyone to take their seats.
Qian Yulin let Zhang Juexia take a seat and said, "We didn't invite anyone else today. It's just the four of us. We just want to relax and have some fun.
Juexia, Auntie treats you as one of her own and will not be polite with you any more."
Zhang Juexia stood up quickly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Madam."
"You have quite a few rules, kid. Sit down now."
After saying that, Qian Yulin took off a jade bracelet from her arm and said, "Juexia, this is our first meeting, and I don't have any preparations. Let this jade bracelet be a gift!"
"No, no, this gift is too valuable."
Zhang Juexia quickly declined.
Li Yingyue took it from Qian Yulin and put it directly on Zhang Juexia's arm.
"Sister, please don't be so polite. Auntie just said that you are a noble person in our family!"
"That's right, take it quickly. You've entrusted such a profitable business to us, Yingyue, so my small gesture is nothing."
"Look at what Madam said, Yingyue and I are a win-win situation."
"Yingyue just told me today that the canned hawthorns sold at Manfu Restaurant for 500 wen a can were made by you.
I have always admired people who are capable and dare to do things. Yingyue is busy on weekdays and rarely goes back to Jinshui Town.
I’m making this clear today. I’ve accepted you as my niece. If you encounter any difficulties in Jinshui Town, come to me.
I dare not say anything else, but in our Jinshui Town, there is really nothing that the Li family cannot handle."
Zhang Juexia stood up holding the wine cup, "Juexia, thank you for your kindness, Madam."
"Why call me Madam? Just follow Yingyue and call me Aunt."
"Aunt."
"Ah, this is a good child. I heard from Yingyue that your husband's family is in Yejia Village?"
"Yes."
"Is your husband's leg almost healed?"
"After the New Year, we'll be just like any other person."
"That's good, that's good. God bless you, this is what they call good things happening to good people."
Qian Yulin asked and answered questions, and Zhang Juexia didn't feel nervous.
The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.
Chuncao wandered in the outer courtyard of the main hall for almost two quarters of an hour, and heard laughter from inside from time to time. While the dishes were being served, she took a look inside and saw clearly who was coming.
It turned out to be her!
Chuncao understood why Zhang Qiuye and Tian Caihong were angry.
She thought back to the slaps she had received that day, and her face still hurt when she thought about it.
She quickly turned around and went back to Zhang Qiuye's yard, muttering to herself that there was going to be something exciting to watch.
After Chuncao returned, she exaggerated the incident in the main hall, "Madam said she treated her like her own niece and even gave her the jade bracelet she had worn for many years."
The more Zhang Qiuye listened, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but push all the teapots and tea bowls on the table to the ground.
"My dear aunt, please calm down. If nothing else, you have to think about the baby in your belly!"
After Tian Caihong comforted Zhang Qiuye, she turned back and glared at Zhang Defu, "Look at the good girl you raised, why is she everywhere?"
"No, I have to go to the front hall to find Madam. I have to tell Madam that Zhang Juexia is not a good person. Don't let her be fooled by Zhang Juexia."
Tian Caihong couldn't stop it even if she wanted to.
"Eighth Concubine, please think twice! Last time, you were grounded because of that person.
If the lady hadn't pleaded with the master, I'm afraid you would still be locked up in the yard.
Even though the master won't let you go out yet, at least let the wife and the master come to see you!"
Chuncao's words sounded fine, but to Zhang Qiuye, they sounded like a knife stabbing her in the heart, "If I don't go, she'll be getting something for nothing.
Dad, Mom, come with me.
Today I will expose her in public, this unfilial daughter who doesn't recognize her parents."
Qian Yulin and Zhang Juexia were chatting about family matters, and Li Yingyue would interject from time to time.
Li Yingrou just sat quietly and listened to them carefully.
"If you ask me, it's better for Jue Xia to marry into a small family. There won't be so many messy things at home, and she can be the master of the house."
