Chapter 118: Warning
Madam Zhao didn’t deny it but smiled emotionally: “This time she bought land and seeds. The Su family is really rich! Alas, just a leak from their fingers is enough for farmers to spend for several years!”
Seeing her mother-in-law staring at her, Madam Zhao hurriedly said with a smile: “How could the Su family be compared with us, I don’t dare think about it! However, Fang Zhou is a close relative of theirs, they will definitely care for her! Just a few dollars from burning charcoal, how could Fang Zhou still mind it…”
Aunt Zhang finally understood, Madam Zhao dared to speak because she wanted to swallow all the charcoal money!
Aunt Zhang could barely contain her anger, raising her hand and wanting to give Madam Zhao a slap, but she put it down and sighed: “You, listen to you! Let me tell you what is upright! As a human being, you have to talk with your conscience! Just overnight, we have become rich but how did we know what to do or how to do it? Other than Fang Zhou, how could we learn to make charcoal? You still aren’t satisfied with forty, fifty taels of silver? Tell me, what year did our family relax for two months? Could you earn so much? And this is what we will earn every year from now on! How can you say this? I’m blushing for you! I’m warning you, if you dare to make a move like this, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
With a guilty conscience, Madam Zhao lowered her head and muttered: “I, I was just talked about it…”
Aunt Zhang huffed: “If you just talked, would I need to say a few words to you? Do things well and think less about these things! You shouldn’t think about it!”
Madam Zhao hurriedly agreed, but she felt a little bit sour in her heart. Just who is part of your family… you just protect her like this, even closer than to your daughter…
If it weren’t for the fact that there is no younger son in the family, Madam Zhao was sure that her mother-in-law wanted to say that Lian Fang Zhou would be her daughter-in-law!
Ten others would follow Ah Jian to build the road. Currently, there was only small roads along the outer edge. They would need to be leveled and widened to allow carts to pass and be more convenient in the future.
Zhao Liu has been listening with a smile to Lian Fang Zhou’s arrangement, nodding secretly at her words and actions. With a sharp and neat heart, Miss Lian was very good. And her younger siblings were sensible and obedient, no doubt today would be a great success!
After Lian Fang Zhou’s finished explaining the arrangements, Ah Jian casually picked ten people and smiled at Lian Fang Zhou: “I’ll take them there first. You and Ah Ze stay here to observe! Tell me when you want to go back.”
Twenty people were quickly divided into the four groups and headed in four different directions. Lian Fang Zhou and Zhao Liu smiled and followed Lian Ze to take a look and give some pointers.
Everyone knew the importance of the fire boundary. If a fire started when the edge of wasteland was not properly burned, the owner will naturally not be able to escape and the people who were work on it would be unable to run away, so they will work very hard.
Lian Fang Zhou gave them detailed instructions. Seeing that they were quick and obedient, she was relieved. She greeted everyone and chatted with them about the work, carefully checking their understanding. Then it was almost time, and she was ready to go home.
Zhao Liu had been waiting, and when Lian Fang Zhou came over, he smiled and said, “Are you done? Presumably, Liu Jia is almost here, are you going back to town?”
Lian Fang Zhou smiled and nodded, and said: “Let’s go back together!”
Zhao Liu smiled and they went back while talking about gossip. They greeted Ah Jian on the road and asked him to help look after Lian Ze.
After all, Lian Ze was still young, so if anything happened, he might not be able to suppress it. However, Lian Ze should be able to see whoever is really interested in work, who is stealing and who is acting slippery.
Liu Jia stopped the donkey cart and greeted Lian Fang Zhou in the car with a smile, saying, “This much be a coincidence, you two are almost home!”
“Not so!” Lian Fang Zhou and Zhao Liu got into the cart with a smile.
Last time, it had been Master Zhao would had escorted the two officials to measure the land, so everyone was at least acquaintances. They all greeted each other naturally.
Although Lian Fang Zhou was young, she was not small in her demeanor. She was generous and upright, calm-headed, advancing and retreating, and was polite but never weak or bullying. More importantly, she was well off.
Therefore, Master Zhao and the two officials did not dare to look down upon her. They spoke very politely and friendly, not daring to laugh in the slightest disrespect.
When they almost reached the entrance of the village, Liu Jia asked Lian Fang Zhou where her home was and Lian Fang Zhou pointed it out to him.
