“You’re a member of the Zhang family. Are you willing to return here?
“Your father is muddleheaded, but as your uncle, and your aunt, we sincerely hope that you can come back.
“And your grandmother, if she knew that the Zhang family had a child like you, she would be so happy!”
Zhang Lingzhen’s wife added, “That’s right, Zhao Zhan. They have raised you like your own son for many years. Your uncle and I will not force you to stay in Bei City.”
!!
Zhang Lingzhen wanted to interrupt.
“You already have a family and a career in Huai County. It won’t be very convenient for you to move to Bei City rashly, but I hope that you can treat this as another home. Do you think you can come and visit often when you’re free?”
Zhang Lingzhen’s wife could tell that Zhao Zhan was not someone who would be moved by money.
His heart was completely hung up on the woman he mentioned in Willow Village.
Rather than forcing him to accept the Zhang family, it was better to do it step by step.
Moreover, she could tell that Zhao Zhan was a person who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force.
“The Zhang family and I…”
“Zhao Zhan…” Zhang Lingzhen said excitedly, “Think about your grandmother.”
Zhao Zhan’s words were stuck in his throat.
“You can choose not to acknowledge your father, but I hope that you can acknowledge the Zhang family.
“I promise you that I’ll try my best to send people to Jiangnan to find your birth mother. Even if we’re lucky enough to find her, we will not rashly disrupt her life. We will definitely pass the information on to you first.
“As for what happens after that, you can make your own decisions.”
The hesitation in Zhao Zhan’s heart dissipated.
Staying with the Zhang family would allow him to get closer to the Lin family and help his lover take revenge.
“I won’t leave for the time being.” Zhao Zhan revealed part of his intentions. “I’ll stay in Bei City for a while. Once I’m done with my business, I’ll leave immediately.”
His home was in Willow Village where Yue Jiaojiao was waiting.
He had never stayed with the Zhang family.
“Alright, alright.” Zhang Lingzhen took a token from his waist and handed it to Zhao Zhan.
“This is the Zhang family’s token. Take this token, and you can go to the accountant’s room to spend money or order the Zhang family’s servants as you wish.
“When you see this sign, it’s the same as seeing me.
“If you don’t want to use it, at least store it somewhere safe.”
“Thank you, uncle.”
When the things here were done, the business he had left behind would be handed over to the Zhang family to deal with. At that time, he would only take the commission from the middle and give part of the money to the Zhang family.
…
“Madam Qin.”
Yue Jiaojiao’s complexion had been rosy and her appetite had been great these days.
“I want to eat small wonton soup with sour sauce.”
“Are you hungry again?” Madam Qin entered the room with a plate of pastries on the table. “I just made some rice cakes. Try them. Doctor Sun also told me today that the fetus in your womb is growing strong.”
“Your appetite has improved a lot recently.” Madam Qin sat closer and sized her up. “Your face is rounder and you’re practically glowing every day.”
Yue Jiaojiao covered her face with her hands. “I’ve gained weight?”
There was no C-section at this time. If the child in her stomach was too big, wouldn’t it be very painful when she gave birth?
“Don’t worry. It’s not the time for the baby to gain weight yet,” Madam Qin comforted her. “My lady, take advantage of the fact that there’s no reaction now and put on as much weight as you can.”
In her life, she had seen many pregnant women who were too big and thin in the early stages.
“Didn’t you just say you wanted to eat wonton soup? I’ll go make it for you now.”
“Not for now,” Yue Jiaojiao decided to temporarily suppress her desire for good food. “I think this rice cake will be enough.”
“Jiaojiao,” Li Xiangjun’s voice could be heard even before she arrived. “The last time you sent a letter to Huai County, you said that you were not feeling well and couldn’t go out. Are you feeling better now?”
Li Xiangjun was still dressed like a man. She rushed into the room. “The matter in Huai County has come to an end. I happened to be free today, so I took the opportunity to visit you when I was home.”
Yue Jiaojiao hurriedly stood up and went forward to welcome her.
“You look better. Have you recovered?”
Li Xiangjun held onto Yue Jiaojiao’s hands and looked her up and down.
“I’m feeling much better.” Yue Jiaojiao held Li Xiangjun’s hand and sat down. She pushed the rice cakes on the table towards her. “Try the rice cakes that Madam Qin just made. Have you eaten? You look like you rushed all the way here.”
Li Xiangjun grabbed the rice cake and took a bite. She looked a little shy. “Yeah… I haven’t…”
Madam Qin had already stood up. “My lady, I’ll go to the kitchen and prepare two bowls of sour soup wontons for the both of you.”
Yue Jiaojiao’s face blushed.
“Would you like chili with yours?”
“Yes, please.”
Madam Qin walked out of the bedroom with a smile.
Li Xiangjun ate a few pieces of rice cakes to fill her stomach. She held the cup of tea on the table and drank it in one gulp. Then, she heaved a long sigh of relief. “I feel alive again. This is the account book. I’ve specially brought it over for you to take a look.”
Yue Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head.
“If Manager Li knew that you’ve been a manager for so long and have become like this, he’d probably be so angry that all his hair would fall off.”
...
“I don’t plan to get married in this life anyway, so there’s nothing bad about being like a man. Didn’t you ask me to find a few highly skilled chefs in advance and set up a stage in the center of Huai County?”
“Have you spread the word that we will be having a taste test and a new method where food will be delivered to people’s doorsteps? I heard that the reputation of the workshop is increasing. Good job.”
‘I’ve done as you said.”
“Also, didn’t Shang also find someone to make pickled vegetables, and then ask others to buy salt for him to make tofu?”
“I asked some people to bring the pickled vegetables that they think are delicious or the tofu that they’ve eaten that aren’t from our workshop to the stage and let the chef make the same dish with them in public.
“Then, we’ll let the people taste the difference between these dishes for free. With this comparison, our workshop’s reputation will instantly spread throughout Huai County.
“In just three days, we’ve received new orders. The deposit alone is close to a thousand silver. You didn’t see how ugly Shang’s face was, it was bad.”
While she was speaking, Yue Jiaojiao had already flipped through the account book and placed it at the side.
She looked at Li Xiangjun carefully.
The other party was thin, and her face, which originally had some baby fat, was now so thin that his cheekbones protruded.
“Xiangjun,” Yue Jiaojiao muttered to herself for a moment, “Fang Tianliu and my husband have gone to Bei City together. I haven’t received a letter from Zhao Zhan for a month. Have you gotten any updates from Tianliu? I’m just a little worried about them.”
...
The smile on Li Xiangjun’s face froze, “Jiaojiao, I know you want to ask about me and Fang Tianliu but…”
