Chapter 250: Seizing Madam Qiao

It must be known that when the spring plowing and autumn harvest were busy, even those from poor families would do their best to eat a lot and eat well, so they could work hard. It was really rare for a house like Madam Qiao’s to try and run without feeding the horse.

Madam Qiao did not treat them as adults at all.

The two of them couldn’t help but sigh. Fortunately, their master was Miss Lian! It was really rare to have a master like her!

Li Er and Li San did not argue with Madam Qiao, the two of them ate the clear ‘porridge’ and drank it with a plain ‘oh’.

Seeing them drink honestly without complaining, Madam Qiao stared at them, her eyes more white than black, and cured: “Deceitful and lazy!”

Thinking about it, she couldn’t help mumbling on the side: “Don’t just eat, remember to work hard and plow the fields a little deeper for me, understand! Did you hear me? Just eat, eat, eat, are you two pigs reborn?”

Li Er and Li San couldn’t help but get angry. Before they had come to work for Miss Lian, they had worked in other households but they had never met someone like Madam Qiao.

Li Er patiently bore with it and said “Understood!”

Madam Qiao stared at Li San and shouted: “What about you, do you understand? Don’t pretend to be dead!”

Li San loosened his hand and with a crisp sound, the bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

“What are you doing!” Madam Qiao’s face changed and she screamed, pointing at Li San’s nose, cursing: “You, you are really a prodigal star! You can’t even hold a bowl! This was bought with my money, give me compensation! Compensation! Clumsy slave! Only blind people would buy you!”

Li San said: “I say, Auntie Lian, you blame me? I wouldn’t have been shocked if you hadn’t shouted so loudly! I wouldn’t have accidently dropped the bowl! Fortunately, I did not cut my hand. If that happened, would you be able to help me with my work?”

“You!” Madam Qiao did not expect that a servant would dare to talk back to her and was so angry she couldn’t speak.

Li Er also said unhurriedly: “Auntie Lian, what my brother said is right. I almost dropped the bowl in my hand as well! You talk about lost money but this doesn’t make sense. Let’s go out and discuss this and let other people decide?”

Lian Li, hiding in his room, was listening carefully. He couldn’t help but frown when he heard the trembling and shouting of Madam Qiao, hating her for causing trouble. When he heard Li Er say that he wanted to go out and talk to others about it, he knew it would be his own family at a loss.

After all, these were not his family’s servants, Madam Qiao did not have the right to scold them. Lian Fang Zhou, that little bitch, was very troublesome. Wouldn’t it be a bit loss to take this opportunity then have to take two steps back?

Lian Li coughed hard when he thought of this.

Madam Qiao was not a smart person. Even standing by the door and coughing hard enough to cough up his lungs and intestines, Madam Qiao was still standing outside, bearing her teeth and claws. She cursed: “Just go out and talk! This old lady is afraid that you two slaves won’t succeed! Hmph! Who raises these kinds of slaves? Just like your bad master, there is no good thing!”

Speaking of Lian Fang Zhou and looking at the white shards on the ground, the evil fire in Madam Qiao’s heart rushed upwards. Filled with rage, she decided that these two people must have been instructed by Lian Fang Zhou to come and make trouble. People like her, who liked to make trouble, were always willing to scold others.

In fact, Lian Fang Zhou had, of course, given them instructions. She didn’t want to help the couple raise long-term laborers.

Even if Madam Qiao hadn’t started picking a fight, they would have picked one with her.

Of course, it was very difficult for Madam Qiao to not pick a fight.

Li Er and Li San did not say a word and let her scold them.

Lian Li was furious and scolded ‘stupid woman’ in his heart. He didn’t bother coughing anymore, he knew that even if he coughed up a lung, that stupid woman wouldn’t notice.

Lian Li pressed his throat and shouted hoarsely: “Pour me some water! Pour me some water!”

When Madam Qiao heard this, she temporarily let go of Li Er and Li San and went to bring in a cup of water.

Li Er and Li San looked at each other and Li San couldn’t help but cured: “This bitch is really disgusting! How can someone that is such a good Miss be related to this kind of person?”

“Is there any way? Isn’t it just being useless to them as a girl? They didn’t want to bother with her before. Let’s just bear it!” Li Er said.

“What else can we do?” Li San hummed softly and then cursed: “Old bitch!”

After Madam Qiao came out, although her face was ugly, she didn’t continue scolding the two of them. She hummed angrily: “What are you two still doing, sitting here? Why don’t you hurry up and get to work! Lazy slaves, all you know is how to be lazy!”

Li Er and Li San looked at each other, turned around, and left.

“Auntie Lian, can you give me a glass of water? I’m a bit thirsty!” Li Er suddenly said from the yard.

“There is water in the well! Get it yourself to drink!” Madam Qiao said rudely.

Now that the weather was approaching spring, although it was not as cold, it was still two points of coolness. However, Madam Qiao refused to give them a drink of hot water.

The two of them had no hope of convincing her, so Li Er agreed and fetched a bucket of water.

Fearing that they would dirty the water and damage the well, Madam Qiao hurried out on his heels to check.

Li Er wanted to lead Madam Qiao out. Seeing her staring at him with eyes that were more white than black, he said: “Should we come back for lunch at noon or will Auntie Lian bring it to the field?”

Madam Qiao was in a bad mood. She said: “What come back? Just eat in the field! Isn’t it a waste of time to go back and forth?” She wished they could finish their work quickly today as to not waste her family’s rations.

Li Er smiled and asked: “Then you will send it to us?”

Madam Qiao glared at him and said reluctantly: “I will send it to you!”

After saying this, Madam Qiao’s heart felt uncomfortable again. She was the ‘master’ and would give food to the two servants. Weren’t they blessed? However, she didn’t dare not feed them, otherwise Lian Fang Zhou, that little bitch, would say something.

With an ‘oh’, Li Er called Li San and said: “Let’s go!”

The two left like this.

Seeing that they did not say goodbye respectfully to her, Madam Qiao stared at them until they disappeared. She screamed at the ground, “No wonder he is a slave, he has no education at all!”

“What are you shouting about again!” Lian Li came out of the house and yelled angrily: “They’re going to work, why are you making so much nonsense? If it weren’t for you, they would have been in the fields already!”

“I am not!” Madam Qiao said, with a guilty conscience. “It was so hard to get these two servants, am I not allowed to enjoy the majesty of being a landowners wife? Besides, these two slaves are so lazy it makes people angry just looking at them! How can I be blamed for this?”
