Chapter 99 Soap Sold
Zhang Juexia received too much information from Qian Yulin, and she needed to slow down.
Qian Yulin elegantly picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea. "Madam Liu, have someone put the gift I prepared on Miss Ye's carriage."
Zhang Juexia listened to the words and although he was still a little confused, he still stood up and said goodbye.
Li Yingyue sent her to the carriage and waved goodbye to her.
Zhang Juexia was driving the carriage and felt the cold wind blowing, making her dizzy.
Li Yingyue entered the main hall and saw Qian Yulin still there, so she asked the question in her heart, "Aunt, why did you tell Zhang Juexia all this?"
"She's really trying to get into our family, so we have to show some appreciation!"
“But she…”
"Are you afraid she can't bear it?"
"I'm a little worried. After all, there's no comparison between the Liu family and the Ye family."
"Do you know why I want to help her?"
Li Yingyue shook her head.
"Zhang Juexia was forced to marry Ye Beixiu. She played such a bad hand so beautifully. Think about it, if it were you, what would you do?"
"I'm afraid I'll hate the world and everything, and then there's nothing I can do except cry and accept my fate."
"As for Zhang Juexia, she's managed to survive the tough times and live a prosperous life. For this reason alone, I admire her."
"I'm afraid I'll fall out of favor in the future."
Li Yingyue pretended to be jealous and leaned against Qian Yulin and acted coquettishly.
"This business she gave us is really a good one, you should do it well.
No matter what her intention is in approaching us, as long as she only wants a little profit, she is worth making friends with.
This world is too harsh on women, so why should we make things difficult for each other? "
"If my aunt hadn't married my uncle, I'm afraid she would have achieved something more."
"Don't talk nonsense. Your uncle has been very clear-headed over the years. He lets go of things when he can. That's what gives me room to maneuver.
Yue'er, you must remember that no matter how high the wall of your husband's house is, it cannot lock up our hearts that look outward.
People must first be independent, and then they can win the respect of others.
Although this path is a little difficult for us women..."
Li Yingyue listened carefully to Qian Yulin's words, nodding in agreement from time to time.
Zhang Juexia drove the carriage to the grocery store, and only then did he feel a little better.
When the grocery store owner saw her carriage, he knew she was bringing pottery jars, and quickly asked his boy to move the jars out. "I figured you'd be here in the next two days, so I asked someone to quickly prepare everything for you."
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
Zhang Juexia stood on the ground, stamping his feet and breathing heavily because of the cold.
The grocery store owner sighed, "It's really not easy for you, young lady. Driving is a man's job. Why are you trying so hard to be so strong?"
"Next year, my husband's legs will be much stronger, so I won't have to do these jobs anymore."
"That's right. Life is not easy for anyone. If the man in your family is capable, you wouldn't have to show up in public like this."
Although the grocery store owner was nagging, he meant well.
He asked the boy to help Zhang Juexia load the car, and specifically reminded Zhang Juexia to be careful on the road.
Zhang Juexia remembered that he hadn't bought any rock sugar yet, so he bought another 12 pounds of it from the grocery store. "Boss, do you have any gloves for sale?"
"What?"
"It's something you wear on your hands when it's cold to keep warm."
The shopkeeper shook his head in confusion. "It's cold here, so people don't go out. Who would want to carry that thing? What are you thinking about every day, little girl?"
Zhang Juexia chuckled and set off in pursuit of the carriage.
The carriage had not gone fifty meters when she heard someone shouting from behind.
After she parked the carriage, she turned around and asked, "Brother Li Dong, what are you doing?"
Li Dong was exhausted from chasing the carriage. After he caught his breath, he said, "I finally found you."
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
"If you have something to say, let's talk in front."
Li Dong walked forward and saw people coming and going. "It's not convenient to talk here. Why don't we go to the Fulin Inn and talk?"
"Okay, Brother Li, please get in the car. It's just right, I have something to talk to you about."
Zhang Juexia parked the carriage at the Fulin Inn, and Li Dong took her into a guest room. "This is a guest room specially prepared by the innkeeper for guests to discuss business."
Li Dong was busy making tea when Zhang Juexia stopped him. "Brother Li, it's getting dark early and I'm in a hurry to get on with my journey. If you have something to say, just say it quickly!"
"Okay, I won't be polite with you anymore. Do you still have the can of food you gave me last time?"
Zhang Juexia had no choice but to tell the truth.
Li Dong slapped his thigh in frustration, "This is really my fault. When you said it was about food, I was careless.
Who knew that I accidentally opened it and took a few bites that day, and it tasted so delicious.
I also heard that Manfu Restaurant sells this stuff for quite a bit, so I thought I'd sell it somewhere else, and there's definitely a market for it."
"Brother Li, there's no need to worry. Do you have a pen and paper?"
"Yes, yes."
Li Dong went outside to find paper and pen and brought them in. Zhang Juexia wrote a letter and handed it to Li Dong.
"Take this to Shunhe County and see Miss Li. She'll definitely be able to help you find some, and then you can sell it."
"This....., thank you so much, Miss Ye."
"What's the big deal? You've helped me a lot."
Zhang Juexia then remembered one more thing, and she took the finished soap off the carriage.
When she took the soap, she saw the gifts sent by the Li family. Not only were they made of silk and satin, but they were also in bright colors.
It is also particularly eye-catching when placed in a carriage.
She sighed. Who would dare to wear clothes made from this thing?
If I give it to her, I'm afraid it will just be moved to the bottom of the box at home.
Soon, a new idea came to her mind.
She shook her head and decided to get this done first.
Li Dong took the soap from Zhang Juexia and looked at it carefully. "The workmanship is a bit rough, but if it washes well, it won't be a problem to sell it."
Zhang Juexia held back and didn't tell the truth. "A while ago, my husband and I were anxious to make some money, so we bought some from a vendor. But we were busy with other things and didn't have time to sell them. So I thought I'd ask Brother Li to help me sell them."
"That's all?"
"Well, that's all for now."
"Sixty coins a piece. Even though it can be sold on the street for eighty coins, you know, we earn our living running errands. We have to make some money after going back and forth."
Zhang Juexia thought for a moment and gritted his teeth, "This thing can't be exchanged for silver even if it's in my hands. Thank you, Brother Li."
"I'll get you the money."
The soap made by Zhang Juexia was sold in exchange for money.
