Chapter 137: Something’s wrong
Ah Jian nodded and smiled: “Fang Zhou, I will definitely help you! Even—”
He thought a little and said: “Even if I remember who I am and where my home is, I will help you arrange everything before leaving.”
Lian Fang Zhou’s heart was warm and felt as light as air for no reason. She smiled and nodded: “Ah Jian, thank you.”
Ah Jian smiled and shook his head, and said, “You are welcome!”
Due to the delay, the work that should have been done was still incomplete by the time the sun was sinking.
Lian Fang Zhou asked the workers to go home and come back tomorrow.
The workers were originally loyal and honest people, and today they had seen the relationship between Zhao Liu and Lian Fang Zhou, how could they leave things like this? They all protested, saying that they were so close to being finished, they would leave when they were done. It was the work that should have been done today and they felt uneasy if they didn’t finish!
The leader smiled and told Lian Fang Zhou, Ah Jian and others to go back first, saying that everyone would go home when they were done.
Seeing that they insist on doing this, Lian Fang Zhou had no choice but to laugh, “Then everyone, please work quickly, it is not good to go home too late! Come late tomorrow morning!”
She thought about it, and then told them to come half an hour later than usual.
Everyone smiled and agreed, and Lian Fang Zhou, Ah Jian, and Lian Ze went home.
Because Lian Ze had rode the donkey into the city, there was no donkey cart when he went home today. Ah Jian led the donkey, and the three of them talked while walking back.
As everyone knew, an employer who hires people fears thieves but a worker worried about a hard and unreasonable employer.
After a while, footsteps sounded inside, and Third Aunt, Lian Fang Qing, and Lian Che all came. A pair of eyes appeared in the crack of the door, looking out, and then the door was opened.
“You are back!” Third Aunt was relieved.
Lian Fang Qing and Lian Che also felt relieved. The sister and brother yelled so affectionately, it was as if they hadn’t seen each other for so long.
“What’s wrong with you? What happened?” Lian Ze asked.
Lian Fang Qing and Lian Che were about to talk, and Third Aunt said: “Come on, don’t talk about it, you can’t tell it, you will know when you enter the house!”
After hearing this, Lian Fang Zhou was surprised.
“Is uncle making trouble again?” Lian Ze stamped his foot.
Third Aunt shook her head and said hurriedly: “No! He wanted to come, he knocked on the door and called out, but we didn’t open it. He wandered around for a while and left! It’s your eldest aunt! “
As soon as Madam Qiao came in, she asked by Lian Fang Zhou was missing.
Third Aunt had snorted. Madam Qiao hadn’t said a word but Lian Fang Zhou had gone to the field because of Lian Li, Third Aunt didn’t believe that Madam Qiao didn’t know about it.
Madam Qiao dropped her butt down and casual ordered Lian Fang Qing to pour tea for her, saying again, “She’s not here? Then I will wait for her to come back!”
Although Third Aunt, Lian Fang Qing, and Lian Che didn’t like her, they couldn’t push her out, so they just had to endure.
Madam Qiao was chatting a lot today and she didn’t curse. Instead, she spoke with Lian Fang Qing and Lian Che with a smile and praised them for growing more and more watery*. She even praised Lian Fang Zhou’s ability to raise them, saying their lives were getting better and better.
It didn’t matter what the expression was on Lian Fang Qing, Lian Che, and Third Aunt’s faces or if they ignored her, she was happy.
However, because of this, Third Aunt’s defenses gradually relaxed. Lian Fang Qing, Lian Che even more.
This was not good, chickens would destroy vegetables if they got loose. Third Aunt stared at Madam Qiao.
Madam Qiao smiled and said: “What do you want me to do? It’s not my chicken, isn’t it enough that I told you? Third Sister-in-law, please go and see!”
Third Aunt was anxious, got up and hurried to go check on the garden.
However, halfway out the door she stopped abruptly and hurried back.
She had suddenly remembered Lian Fang Zhou’s instructions before she had left. Telling them to stay home and not go anywhere!
Third Aunt was so scared she had cold sweat on her back. Fortunately, she had hurried back!
As soon as she entered the yard, she could hear Lian Che and Lian Fang Qing’s screaming coming from the house, intermixed with Madam Qiao’s shouts.
Third Aunt was shocked and rushed in.
There was no one in the hall and the voices were coming from the room she shared with Lian Fang Zhou.
Madam Qiao actually broke into the room while she was away!
And what would she be breaking into the room for? Of course, it’s to search for the money and land deeds!
Lian Fang Qing and Lian Che certainly wouldn’t let her do as she pleased but the two small ones were too weak, causing her to break into the room and toss it.
TN: *This means plump and good look. From what I know, in China water is associated with beauty which is why they say things like girls are full of water.
