Chapter 406: So Logical

“No,” Lian Ze shook his head, “he entered the compound but not the workshop area. Steward Su refused to let him inside, so he’s scolding everyone. Hmph, if it wasn’t for Cousin, would he dare to hit people?”

Lian Ze looked at Lian Fang Zhou and said comfortingly: “Big Sister, don’t worry, Steward Su is a reasonable person. He knows what the relationship is like between our families, so no matter how ugly his words are, Steward Su will not take it to heart.”

Lian Fang Zhou’s brow wrinkled. This dog skin plaster, she really didn’t know when she’d finally be able to peel it off!

The siblings hurried to the compound and before they even entered the door, they could hear Lian Li’s scolding getting louder and louder.

Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t bear it any longer and shouted coldly: “Uncle! What are you doing here!”

She didn’t bother to save him face, just she just walked in and stared at him icily.

Su Zi Ji closed his mouth and glanced at Lian Fang Zhou, nodding at her.

The two or three workers who had come to help also stopped talking and silently moved to stand at the side.

“Big Sister!” Lian Fang Qing ran over and threw herself into her sister’s arms, angrily saying: “Uncle is scolding people again! He wants to make trouble!”

Lian Fang Zhou patted her shoulder lightly, still staring at Lian Li with a cold look.

Lian Li was furious when he saw her expression!

Even though Lian Fang Zhou and the Lian couple had experienced countless unpleasant encounters with neither side showing mercy to each other, her face had never shown such a look of cold anger so openly before.

He couldn’t help but scowl, saying: “Fang Zhou, you are really treating me less and less like an elder in your eyes! Even if you don’t recognize me as your uncle, I am the same generation as your father! You have to respect me as an elder. What do you mean by this attitude!”

They had gone through this conversation so many times and Lian Fang Zhou was not interested in bickering with him. Her tone like ice, she said: “Don’t open your mouth and cry about elders and elders and elders! You insult the word ‘elder’! How many of my father’s peers are respected in this village but I haven’t seen one of them barge into my house like you! I must ask you to leave immediately!”

Her words caused Lian Li to stagnate. He opened his mouth to speak but Lian Fang Zhou cut him off brutally. “Don’t tell me that you came to help me out of kindness! I don’t need it, please leave!”

Then she said to Su Zi Ji: “Steward Su, you have done a good job. If anyone dares to intrude in the future, just have them thrown out and close the door. If he dares to try and push inside, don’t we have a dog? There is nothing else to worry about here. Go back to work, don’t affect the progress for this trivial matter.”

Su Zi Ji glanced at Xiao Hui. Between Xiao Hui and Lian Fang Zhou’s temper, Lian Li had no paths forward. Not to mention, Zhang Xiao Jun was still guarding the gate!

He nodded: “Alright, then we’ll go back first.”

“Go!” Lian Fang Zhou smiled at him.

Su Zi Ji led the few workers away and shut the middle courtyard door to the workshop area behind them.

Lian Fang Zhou turned to look at Lian Li: “Isn’t eldest uncle leaving yet? What do you want to do by staying here?”

Lian Li saw that she didn’t take him seriously at all, even talking casually to Su Zi Ji in a lively manner. He obviously wasn’t worth much in her eyes! The thought made him very angry, and he shouted: “Didn’t you want your family to help, why are you acting like this! Fang Zhou you are deceiving people too much!”

Before Lian Fang Zhou could respond, Lian Fang Qing couldn’t take it anymore. Pouting, she said: “Uncle said that to Manager Su just now but I didn’t expect you to try and tell such a lie in front of Big Sister! How could my big sister ask you for help!”

Behind her, Lian Fang Zhou was a little speechless in her heart. A little girl like Fang Qing could understand but their uncle couldn’t? How ridiculous!

Her meaning? He must be joking!

“What do I mean?” Lian Fang Zhou pointed at herself and said angrily: “I don’t remember having such a meaning? Uncle, I really don’t know where to start!”

“Why not?” Lian Li said, sounded exasperated and reasonable, “Your aunt and cousin have already gone to the fields to help pick cotton, haven’t they? They’re helping, so how could I stand by? They went to the fields and I came here to help. It’s for the same purpose, isn’t it?”

Lian Li was furious in his heart. He had originally thought that Su Zi Ji was just a servant. As long as he showed off his prestige and shouted, how could a servant dare to do anything to him? He would have to obediently invite him in!

Unexpectedly, despite saying that Lian Fang Zhou had invited him, Su Zi Ji dared to stop him! If it wasn’t for that servant being troublesome, how could he be ridiculed by this dead girl again.

As long as he got in before things started, he didn’t believe that this dead girl could drive him out again!

Indeed, if he had managed to get his hands on her methods, Lian Fang Zhou would not have been able to force him away. It would be too ugly and for the sake of her younger siblings, she had to care about her face.

But Lian Li never thought that even if he could enter the compound, he wouldn’t be able to enter the workshop! How could this not annoy him?

Lian Fang Zhou almost fainted when she heard what he said.

What kind of bandit logic was this?!

She promised to let Lian Hai and Madam Qiao pick cotton so that meant she had promised to let the entire family help? And therefore, she actually agreed to let Lian Li forcibly enter?

It just didn’t make sense!

The most ridiculous thing was that, in the face of such bandit logic, Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t find a single word to refute.

Even Lian Ze and Lian Fang Qing were stunned.

Although the two siblings did not go to school like Lian Che, they continued their own studies and did not fall behind. This was at Lian Fang Zhou’s insistence. Now that the family was in good condition, Lian Fang Zhou had bought them many books and asked them to read in their spare time. Sometimes they would go to her for words they didn’t understand and other times they would go to Ah Jian.

So even though they had only been learning for a little while, they both understood what was going on with Lian Li without much effort.

So the brother and sister also stared.

“This, this is too much!” Lian Fang Qing stammered, eyes wide.

Lian Ze glanced at the little girl’s exaggerated expression and couldn’t help but laugh loudly.

Lian Fang Zhou wanted to laugh but she couldn’t.

Looking at her uncle coldly, she said: “Uncle, you misunderstood. I’m very busy and I don’t have time to talk with you for very long but this is my meaning: our family affairs have nothing to do with you! I won’t and will never ask you for help in the future, so please don’t do such ridiculous things again! That black and white document was not created in vain, just because I didn’t mention it doesn’t mean I have forgotten about it! Please remember this too!”

Lian Li sneered: “You are so loud! I advise you not to talk so much! As a human being, you should always leave yourself a way out. Hmph, can you guarantee that you won’t beg us some day in the future? You have to wait and see to find out, right?”
