Chapter 218 Calculation
Zhang Dequan specifically told Dazhuang and Erzhuang, "Juexia is living a good life. We just need to keep this a secret. Once you leave the house, don't mention it to anyone else. Got it?"
Dazhuang nodded.
Er Zhuang asked doubtfully, "Dad, why don't you let outsiders know? Sister Jue Xia suffered so much at home before, so we have to let them know that my sister Jue Xia is living a good life, so that her stepmother and her father will regret it."
Wang Yuying pulled Erzhuang aside, fearing that he would make Zhang Dequan angry.
"That's a good question. Let me explain why. A tall tree attracts the wind, that's just one reason. Secondly, I'm sure you're also aware of the character of her family.
If they knew that Juexia was living a good life, they would go to Yejia Village to make trouble every day. In the end, Juexia would be the one who suffered.
She's just had a few days of quiet time, so it's best not to tell her about this. Do you know?"
Er Zhuang also nodded this time.
"That's right, Juexia is a grateful child. I just couldn't bear it at the beginning, so I helped her. Now she is helping us too. Your mother has a place to sell the chickens she raises, and we don't have to worry anymore."
This year, your mother can earn enough money to marry Erzhuang just by raising chickens."
Erzhuang scratched his head shyly, "Dad, we were talking about serious matters, why are you talking about me again?"
"Marrying a wife is also a serious matter. Okay, you should learn more about raising chickens from your mother. Sooner or later, your mother will pass on this skill to you two brothers."
Da Zhuang also quickly stood up straight and responded with Er Zhuang, "Yes."
Tian Caihong strolled around the streets for a while, and when she got home she asked Zhang Defu, "How is your daughter's family doing?"
Zhang Defu didn't know how to answer, "Anyway, it's not as good as Qiuye's."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? I heard from the villagers today that the headman's family sent another oxcart full of chicks to your daughter's family."
"Really? It's not an easy job to keep animals alive. You might not have anything left by the end of the year!"
I think Qiuye is better. Not only does he make money quickly, but he also lives a stable life."
Tian Caihong gave him a glare and said, "Your mouth is so sweet even though it's covered in honey."
"Mother, please find some time to go to the Li residence and ask Qiuye for more money. And check on her and see how she is doing."
Tian Caihong nodded guiltily.
"Mother, you have to take this to heart. If we had another twenty acres of land, we would be a proper landlord. We could rent it out and just collect the rent every year."
Zhang Defu was making his wishful plans in his mind and didn't notice Tian Caihong's discomfort at all.
Tian Caihong's anger suddenly reached her throat. "Boss, you also have a daughter. You can't keep plucking Qiuye from you. When the time comes, you should ask your daughter if she can give you some money to buy the land."
Zhang Defu thought for a moment and said, "I will definitely ask her for the money, but now is not the right time."
Tian Caihong didn't dare to argue with him, for fear of being beaten again. She just rolled her eyes inadvertently and thought to herself, "Hmph, you old man, you don't ask for money for your daughter, but instead you encourage me to ask Qiu Ye for money. You're dreaming."
Zhang Defu had no idea what Tian Caihong was thinking. He just kept exaggerating about how good Qiu Ye had found a husband. "It's a pity that she's just a concubine. If she were his legal wife, we would be Mr. Li's legitimate father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"When Qiuye has a boy, maybe this will work out."
"How many months does Qiuye have left to live?"
"About two months!"
"You should buy some things these two days and visit Qiuye to show our family's concern for her."
Tian Caihong agreed reluctantly.
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu went to the town after receiving Qian Yulin's letter.
Li Yingyue asked someone to bring her a letter. The content of the letter was very simple. She was very busy and could not take care of too many things at the moment. She was afraid that she could not help with the fruit trees this year.
Zhang Juexia immediately picked up his pen and wrote a reply to Li Yingyue.
I told her to be at ease and not be distracted by other people or things, and then I wrote a few words of encouragement.
Qian Yulin handed the letter to the servant and said, "I didn't expect that you two sisters have such a strong bond. Yingyue said she was busy, and you believed her without even a doubt."
"Look at what Auntie said. The Li family's canned food business has spread all over the country. Most of this is thanks to Yingyue. When she said she was busy, I believed her because she always had something to do."
"If Yingyue knew you trusted her so much, she probably wouldn't have written to me individually to let me try to persuade you."
Zhang Juexia became interested, "What did Yingyue say?"
"This is a secret between us, mother and I. I'm afraid I can't tell you."
Zhang Juexia chuckled, "If you can't tell me, then I'll just pretend I don't know."
"You're quite open-minded. Do you need my help going to Qingfeng City?"
"I don't think so. My husband and I are just taking a look. We don't know the specific situation yet!"
"When are you going?"
"I'll wait a day or two and see if the shop needs anything. After all, I'm going to Qingfeng City and I have to buy everything I need."
When Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu came out of Li's house, they met Tian Caihong again, but this time Zhang Defu was also there.
Tian Caihong was arguing with the doorman. The doorman had learned his lesson last time and this time he refused to let Tian Caihong in no matter what. He was too lazy to even report it.
Tian Caihong was furious and didn't even look at the people coming from the opposite side. She pointed at Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu and asked the doorman, "How can they get in?"
The doorman looked at Tian Caihong with contempt, "Tsk, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? How can you compare with Miss Zhang and her husband? They are our lady's guests. What about you?
To tell you the truth, nowadays, no one in our Li Mansion, even the Eighth Concubine, I’m afraid, will not welcome you.
To be on the safe side, you'd better leave quickly. If you are seen by others, they might do something outrageous, and then it won't be anyone's fault."
Tian Caihong wanted to get angry but didn't dare to, and ended up causing internal injuries.
Her face flushed as she looked up at Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu, "I want to see if your wife's distinguished guest has any special abilities."
Tian Caihong was stunned.
The doorman looked at her and curled his lips in disdain, "How come you can't even speak when you meet an honored guest?"
Tian Caihong ran in front of Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu in one stride, "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be our eldest daughter."
The doorman's eyes widened and he looked as if he was enjoying himself.
Ye Beixiu reached out and threw her aside, "Who are you? You don't even notice when you walk!"
Tian Caihong staggered after being thrown. Zhang Defu trotted a few steps and helped her up. Then he glared at Ye Beixiu, "How do you talk to your mother-in-law?"
