Chapter 179: Do you want to talk about it?

She decided to buy a few spinning wheels of various kinds after the start of spring so that Su Zi Ji could study them thoroughly. After the first crop of cotton was harvested, she would ask him to see if he could make a special yarn from spinning cotton.

As for the guillotine blades for cottonseeds and the tools for popping cotton, they were all very simple. Lian Fang Zhou was sure that as long as she spoke a little, Su Zi Ji would definitely be able to make them.

Lian Fang Zhou was silently thrilled that Cui Shao Xi had sent her these two people by chance! It couldn’t be a coincidence, it had to be god’s will!”

Qin Feng and Su Zi Ji couldn’t help but speak the questions in their hearts. This was the question that countless people had asked Lian Fang Zhou. Why did she want to grow cotton? Was cotton really so great?

Though Lian Fang Zhou did not give them a thorough explanation, she told them a lot more than she had told others. She smiled and said to Su Zi Ji: “If it is as good as I expect, I believe the cotton can be spun for thread weaving. You will probably have to improve the spinning machine!”

Su Zi Ji lifted up his head when he heard her words. He nodded and smiled” If it can be used, it will likely be similar to other machines. It will not be difficult for me!”

Lian Fang Zhou was even more overjoyed when she heard this.

What Lian Fang Zhou didn’t expect was that, after dinner, Lian Li and Madam Qiao appeared.

Seeing these two people, other than Qin Feng and Su Zi Ji, who had never met them, the group looked at them coldly.

“What has brought uncle and aunt over? I don’t know what you two have to say today?” Lian Fang Zhou smiled faintly.

Lian Li coughed and forced a stiff smile on his face after several struggles. He called “Fang Zhou” and winked at Madam Qiao.

With a frustrated face, Madam Qiao reluctantly put the box in her hands on the table.

Lian Li smiled and said to Lian Fang Zhou: “Last time Young Master Cui came as a quest, he brought some gifts. Originally, I wanted to bring you half but I’ve been so busy, I forgot about it! Today I remembered, so we’ve sent them to you in a hurry. Two pieces of good lothing, a pot of tea, and a few silk flowers, all good things!”

“Oh, uncle and aunt are very kind!” Lian Fang Zhou replied, lukewarm. She sneered in her heart: he really knows how to justify himself, he takes everyone for a fool!”

Lian Ze was also angry when he saw this. He was not greedy but he smiled deliberately when he saw that Lian Li’s face was just too greasy and crooked. “Oh, uncle and aunt have been so busy they forgot? What have uncle and aunt been up to?”

“What else could it be but bullying my sister and us!” Although Lian Fang Qing was young, she had experienced all kinds of these battles lately and had learned how to immediately pick up the conversation.

When Lian Fang Zhou and the others heard them, no one scolded Lian Fang Qing and Lian Ze. Instead, they stared unblinkingly at the couple, silent.

Madam Qiao’s ass squirmed on the stool so that it shook and creaked. She raised her eyes to Lian Fang Zhou and said: “Fang Zhou, how have you taught your younger siblings! Look at these two, daring to make fun of their elders! Don’t speak of close relatives, even strangers wouldn’t speak like this!”

This was so wonderful!

Lian Li cheered secretly in his hear, thinking that this was the smartest thing Madam Qiao had ever said.

Without waiting for her to continue, Lian Li stopped her and sighed. “Your eldest aunt is right! Ah, its no good if there is no elder in the family! We are your relatives! We can ignore this, but what would people outside think? Our faces are not so shiny. It seems we will have to worry about this in the future!”

Seeing Lian Fang Zhou start to speak, Lian Li raised his voice and hurriedly said: “You don’t have to be polite to us, why don’t you call us family? We have a natural blood connection that can’t be changed. What happened in the past, its all over now, let’s not mention it again, just forget about it! Fang Zhou, tomorrow we will go to Li Zheng’s house and invite the village uncles in and destroy the note we signed earlier! These days, your eldest aunt and I have been very worried. When I think about it, I feel so ashamed and sorry for my dead brother and younger siblings. In fact, what Li Zheng and the village elders said was right, it was a mistake. The elders, should take care of you, even if they suffer a little bit! If we don’t take care of you, who will!”

“Yes!” Even thought the couple had made up this script at home, when talking about ‘worrying’ and ‘taking care’, Madam Qiao still felt aggrieved in her heart as if the Lian siblings were already trying to take advantage of her!

She said angrily: “However, you will still need to know good and bad, don’t go too far!”

“Then this matter is settled, I will call you to main house early tomorrow morning!” Lian Li stated the final word and got up to say goodbye.

“Where would we do such a cheap thing?” Lian Ze burst out in anger. Lian Fang Qing and Lian Che were still a little young and didn’t quite understand what Lian Li was saying but when they saw how angry Lian Ze was, they also became angry.

Lian Li glanced at Lian Fang Zhou. Seeing that her expression was faint and silent, he was determined. It only mattered that she gave in, where did he have Lian Ze in his eyes?

Instead, he set himself up as an elder and said to Lian Ze: “Ah Ze! What cheap thing? What is cheap or not cheap? Talking like a messy child! You, who did you learn this from? Oh, how can your aunt and I not worry?”

Lian Li sighed as he spoke and left.

“Outrageous! Outrageous! He, he actually tried to lecture me!” Lian Ze was furious and wanted to stop Lian Li, but where could he stop him? What could he even say if he did stop him?

Would he agree?

“Sister!” Lian Ze couldn’t help but stomp his feed, saying angrily: “Why didn’t you say anything? This, how can this be good?”

Third Aunt had thought that Lian Fang Zhou would attack and had held back, waiting. She could not believe that her niece would let the Lian couple go so easily! She hurriedly said, “Yes, Fang Zhou! What is this idea of his? Is it logical? If this family is under his thumb in the future, no one can have a peaceful life!”

“That’s right, elder sister!” Lian Ze nodded when he heard Third Aunt speaking clearly.
