Chapter 318: Don't Believe
Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia lingered for a moment, and then Zhang Juexia remembered to ask him, "Did you run into Liu Hong when you went to the government office today?"
"Madam, how did you know? He came up to me and tried to get close to me, but I ignored him.
I didn't expect this guy to be such a mean person. He immediately found a matchmaker and came to my house to annoy me."
"That's right. Today, Manager Yao and I went to meet Mrs. Liu. I thought Mrs. Liu might not have time to do this.
So, I guessed it was you."
Shopkeeper Yao was standing at the door looking at the two people hugging each other, and it was really unbearable to watch!
She coughed deliberately, "How are you, you two? Have you finished talking? I've already prepared the meal and am waiting for you to eat!"
Ye Beixiu quickly let go of Zhang Juexia and greeted Manager Yao.
Shopkeeper Yao looked around and said, "Has everyone left? Your shop was quite bustling just now. I'm afraid Matchmaker Zhang didn't get any benefits today, and she even got beaten up."
"Is Matchmaker Zhang quite famous in our town?"
"Let's just say this, this guy is greedy for money. He can make a dead person alive by offering more money."
"I felt bad about the beating she received just now. But it seems it wasn't a light one."
"Okay, even if you guys aren't hungry, I am! Let's go eat!"
"Manager Yao, is the meal you prepared too much? My husband hasn't eaten yet!"
"I don't know who it is. Just now he was giving me a hard time, and now he's worried about me being hungry."
"Shopkeeper Yao, I strongly suspect you have clairvoyance."
"What clairvoyance? Given your personality, I can guess it pretty close to the truth."
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu followed Manager Yao to have lunch, so Li Xi and Ding Man no longer had to hide in the backyard.
Zhang Defu walked angrily for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He asked Tian Caihong, "If I beat up that Liu Hong, will I be arrested and put in jail?"
Tian Caihong was frightened by his words, "Maybe I have to go..."
"Then let's just forget it!"
"What about the older girl?"
"I'm his biological father after all. I just had a fight with that matchmaker and my hand still hurts!"
"Now that you mention it, ouch, my scalp hurts too."
"Anyway, I've helped her, so let's just forget about it!"
"So where are we going now?"
Zhang Defu thought about it. Zhang Juexia didn't like him, so there was no point in going back. Besides, he didn't beat Liu Hong up, so he couldn't explain himself. "Why don't we go to Li's house and look for Qiuye?"
"Alright!"
Coincidentally, as soon as Zhang Qiuye walked out of the side door of Li's mansion, he saw Zhang Defu and Tian Caihong talking to the doorman.
She was afraid that the two would do something embarrassing again, so she quickly asked Chuncao to stop them.
Tian Caihong was delighted to see Zhang Qiuye, "Qiuye, are you okay?"
"I can't die yet!"
"How can you talk like that! You can't talk about your mother being dead or alive when you see her. It's unlucky."
"Then return my money and I will be able to live again."
"Look at you, you're becoming more and more stingy. Let me tell you, we don't have any silver. Your father and I already bought the land with the silver. Didn't I tell you the last time I came?"
Zhang Qiuye was so angry that his teeth were itching. He hung his head and ignored Tian Caihong.
"You kid, how come you're getting worse at school? Your father and I came all the way to see you, and you look like this."
"What should I look like, you say?"
When Tian Caihong wanted to speak again, she was interrupted by Zhang Defu, "The child is upset, why not let her vent her anger?
They are both mother and daughter, there is no such thing as overnight hatred, right, Qiuye?"
Zhang Defu looked at Zhang Qiuye with a smile. Seeing that Zhang Qiuye ignored him, he was not annoyed.
He has no other skills except the ability to smooth things over. As long as he can benefit, he will do anything.
Anyway, the silver has been exchanged for land, and the name on the title deed is also his, so there is no point in Zhang Qiuye saying anything.
Zhang Defu pushed Tian Caihong and said, "Since you're here, have a good talk with the child. It's not easy for the child to live in this wealthy family.
Even though we didn't even have time to drink water in such hot weather just to talk to her, it was worth it to be able to see the child once."
Zhang Defu's words, neither light nor indifferent, softened Zhang Qiuye's heart. "You haven't eaten yet?"
"I haven't even had water to drink, how can I have time to eat?"
"I remember there's a restaurant up ahead. Let's eat and talk!"
Zhang Qiuye brought Zhang Defu and Tian Caihong into the restaurant and ordered a few side dishes. Seeing that Zhang Qiuye was in a good mood, Zhang Defu shamelessly ordered another pot of good wine.
Tian Caihong glared at him and said, "She has to be my daughter!"
"I know Qiu Ye is the most lovable!"
Zhang Qiuye understood what they meant, "Did you see Zhang Juexia?"
Tian Caihong did not hide it. "Yes, we saw him, but this heartless guy still ignored us."
"Is she in town?"
"Um!"
Zhang Qiuye snatched the wine jug from Zhang Defu's hand and said, "If you don't tell the truth, don't drink this wine."
"No, don't waste such good wine."
Tian Caihong also spoke kindly, "Qiuye, we finally meet each other, so let your father have a good drink!"
"Well, if you don't tell me, I'm leaving now. I'll see who'll pay for your drinks."
Zhang Qiuye called Chuncao and walked out.
Zhang Defu panicked and signaled Tian Caihong to keep the person.
Tian Caihong stood up with a smile and said a few kind words to comfort Zhang Qiuye, "My dear Miss, your temper is no longer the same as before. I say, I say, isn't it okay?
After they got married, each of them had a worse temper than the other, it was really terrible.
Your sister Juexia's husband passed the imperial examination and became a military scholar. Your father and I rushed to her house to congratulate her, but we weren't treated well and were driven out by her.
Tian Caihong took a sip of tea and moistened her throat. "It makes me angry just talking about it. Today, a matchmaker came to our house to propose marriage to that girl named Ye, and your father and I helped her vent her anger, but she didn't appreciate it."
"Matchmaking?"
"Well, this is Liu Hong's doing behind the scenes, girl!
Tell me why I was deceived by the Liu family. Otherwise, you wouldn't have become a concubine to that half-dead old man.
You said that if I had married you to the Ye family, we would not have snatched Zhang Juexia's marriage and let her marry into the Liu family.
Maybe you will be the wife of a scholar.
Alas, I, your mother, regret it so much now that my intestines are turning green."
Tian Caihong talked incessantly, and Zhang Qiuye didn't hear some of what she said. The only sentence she heard was that Zhang Juexia's husband married Wu Xiucai.
She didn't believe it. "How is that possible? Isn't Ye Beixiu just a hunter, and he's also a cripple?"
