"Oh! I forgot to tell you, Miss Song is very wealthy and will provide you with food and lodging." Huang Wanzhen raised her chin and glanced at him. "If you have nothing to do, just stay here. I have to go get busy."
After saying that, he turned around and went into the shop without even saying hello.
"Hey! Wait, I have something to talk to you about." Zheng Yusang quickly reached out to stop her, "I'll treat you to breakfast. You can choose whatever you want."
A few minutes later, the two sat down at Qingfengzhai. Huang Wanzhen ordered five plates of dim sum in one breath. "If you have something to say, please speak quickly. I'm busy."
Zheng Yusang sighed helplessly, "Hey! You are even busier than me."
"Of course. If I don't work, what will I eat and drink?" Huang Wanzhen grabbed a piece of the snack that had just been served and started eating it in big mouthfuls without any hesitation.
"The Zheng family has a long history of wealth and is truly powerful. If you can help me, I'd like to give you 30%." As soon as Zheng Yusang finished speaking, Huang Wanzhen burst out laughing. "Sorry, it was too funny, I couldn't help it."
Did Zheng Yusang think she was stupid? Even the boss wouldn't dare to promise such things to his employees, and he expected her to work hard just by talking and not paying a penny?
"These are all stained with my saliva, do you still want to eat them?" In Huang Wanzhen's eyes, Zheng Yusang's promise was not as real as the pastries in front of her.
"You're so disgusting, how can I eat?!" Zheng Yusang curled his lips in disgust.
Huang Wanzhen waved over the waiter and pointed at the cakes on the table, "Please pack them up, thank you!"
"What are you doing?" Zheng Yusang looked at Huang Wanzhen in confusion.
Huang Wanzhen said as a matter of course, "You don't want to eat it, do you? It's such a waste to leave it here. I'll take it back and eat it slowly."
Zheng Yusang was confused and said, "You haven't promised me yet."
Huang Wanzhen stood up and helped the waiter to open the oil paper bag. "Master, I'm very busy and don't have time to take care of your family's affairs. Let alone 30%, even if you give me 70%, I still can't spare the time."
As she spoke, she quickly gathered a few oil-paper packets together and said, "This is my answer. I'm going to work now. Goodbye."
Huang Wanzhen waved her hand, took a step forward, then stopped and turned back to say, "No, it's goodbye. I won't see you off when you leave. I'm really too busy. I don't even have enough time to sleep. Look, the corners of my mouth are blistered. Please bear with me."
Huang Wanzhen raised her hand and waved, "I wish you all the best in advance."
After she finished speaking, she didn't give Zheng Yusang a chance to speak, and ran away. After she left the house, she didn't call a rickshaw, but trotted to Beiman Girls' High School. I have to say, it felt so good to be able to run, it was awesome!
Zheng Yusang and Zhu Tingzhou tried many ways, but Huang Wanzhen refused to take the bait. As the date on the boat ticket was getting closer, Zhu Tingzhou had no choice but to go find his father.
"Is it that fashionable clothing store on Dengshikou Street?" Zhu Yuanshan stroked his chin and thought for a moment. "I remember Zhu Rong was the shopkeeper there."
Zhu Tingzhou bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, father. He caused trouble in a shop he runs in the same business with some time ago and was arrested by the police."
Zhu Yuanshan frowned and waved his hand, "Just pay the fine and redeem him. It's not worth going to find someone for such a small matter."
"Well, at that time Zhu Rong hired someone to smash someone's shop. The shop owner had some background and demanded a thousand yuan in compensation. I went to the police station, and they said that they would not let Zhu Rong go unless the compensation was paid." Zhu Tingzhou didn't want to pay the thousand yuan in compensation.
But he was gone in two days. Zhu Rong had been in there for too long and would inevitably give him away. When he was not there, his father would find out and be angry with him. What would he do if he cut off his funds to support his study abroad? Unless this matter was resolved, he could not leave with peace of mind.
"Humph! This is outrageous! They're trying to blackmail me, Zhu! Who owns that shop?"
"It's owned by Governor Song of East City."
"Oh? Song Qinglin?" Zhu Yuanshan touched his chin and frowned, "Go and meet Zhu Rong and tell him to stay in there well. Our Zhu family will help him take care of his wife and children." Song Qinglin was a man with soldiers at his disposal. It was impossible for Zhu Yuanshan to seek trouble with the Song family for a servant. It was Zhu Rong's fault for being so blind that he had to offend such a rough guy.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a family member, Zhu Yuanshan would have wanted to kick his family out.
Zhu Tingzhou received the order and personally went to the police station, using money to pave the way for him to meet Zhu Rong. He did not directly convey Zhu Yuanshan's words, but threatened Zhu Rong with his wife and children. After Zhu Rong nodded and agreed to help him conceal the truth, he told him that the Zhu family would help him raise his wife and children.
This tactic of giving a stick first and then giving a sweet date worked very well. Zhu Rong did not say a word and was eventually sentenced to three years. The other two, the one who smashed the shop, was sentenced to ten years, and the one who came later was redeemed by his family for ten dollars.
The prison in Beijing refused to accept them, so they were directly put on a car with a dozen other people and sent to Hebei Province to work in a mine.
Zheng Yusang left quietly. Huang Wanzhen was busy expanding her business. It was not until the coldest days of winter that she made time to take people to the original Shuxiangyuan to move the dowry.
"Ms. Huang, you are so bold that you actually bring a man from outside into the backyard of the Zheng family?!" Zheng Yumei immediately blocked the entrance to Shuxiangyuan, followed by Zheng Liu and Zheng Yuli.
"The contents inside are my dowry, and I have the right to dispose of it." Huang Wanzhen brought the people from Jixiangtang directly and came in from the west door. She didn't expect that the female members of the Zheng family got the news so quickly. This made Huang Wanzhen suspect that someone was watching her.
"Our Zheng family is not the kind of family that embezzles our daughter-in-law's dowry. I didn't say you have no right to deal with it, but you shouldn't bring outsiders in. Aren't you ashamed? We still have our dignity!" Zheng Yumei screamed in a hoarse voice.
Huang Wanzhen scratched her ears uncomfortably. Jixiangtang's business was very good and could be described as 'making a fortune every day'. Ever since she started enjoying the joy of making money, Huang Wanzhen felt that the Zheng family's affairs were really not worth mentioning.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you even mind this. I'll let Xiao Shitou go back to the west yard now." Huang Wanzhen waved to Xiao Shitou, the only green leaf among many red flowers. Xiao Shitou was not annoyed, but also saluted with a smile, turned around and returned the same way he came.
Zheng Yumei and the others did not expect Huang Wanzhen to be so easy to talk to. They did not know how to respond for a moment and looked at each other in confusion.
"Ladies, can you please move aside? If you really don't want to, I don't want the dowry." Huang Wanzhen had already moved out the valuable small items, leaving only some bulky furniture and large items.
When Zheng Liushi, who was blocked by her eldest daughter, heard this, she hurriedly pulled Zheng Yumei in front of her and said, "Go in and move in. Our Zheng family will not covet our daughter-in-law's dowry." That would ruin the reputation of the Zheng family. The youngest daughter is not married yet!
