Chapter 438: Warning

But those people, instead of being grateful, were even more greedy. Some thought their share was too little and accused him of unfair distribution. Some claimed they wanted to do business and investment and asked him to provide more money. Some even said that their family difficulties could only be solved with more money. He ended up borrowing thousands of dollars to appease them, which of course was impossible to repay!

At first, he couldn’t bear to refuse, so he complied with those who asked first.

But then there were more and more people asking and he was forced to refuse.

By this time, the hornet’s nest had been stabbed and it attracted more and more dissatisfaction and accusations from the villagers. In the end, they all agreed that he was stingy, unfilial, and forgotten his roots. They said he stuck his nose in the air and viciously scolded him

In the end, he was so distressed, he wanted to commit suicide!

Lian Fang Zhou had felt that the man had really asked for it by allowing himself to be forced to that step.

She would never be such a person!

However, it was true that Madam Qiao’s mouth was very stinky and those long tongued woman, well…

Lian Fang Zhou went to Lian Li’s house and said a few words to Lian Hai.

Lian Hai, who had been studying behind closed doors, turned pale with anger and forced his mother to apologize with a cold face.

Madam Qiao’s heart was extremely aggrieved! Angry, she shouted: “I just said a few words, why is she so unrelenting! I didn’t even go to her house to make trouble! Isn’t it just saying a few words secretly to make my mouth happy? Long ago, I would have gone to Lian Fang Zhou’s house directly!”

Lian Fang Zhou believed this.

According to Madam Qiao, since she didn’t go to Lian Fang Zhou’s house to make trouble with her, Madam Qiao had been wronged. Lian Fang Zhou almost laughed.

Seeing that Madam Qiao refused to apologize, Lian Fang Zhou stood up and smiled: “Cousin, since Eldest Aunt refuses, then forget it. I never force anyone.”

As a man of education, if he couldn’t see this matter clearly, he had spent so many years reading books in vain!

Lian Hai hurriedly stopped Lian Fang Zhou with a smile on his face and tried to persuade her. Then, thinking about what his mother was like, he stopped. Good knows what she might say next, it may been even worse!

He grit his teeth and said: “I apologize to you on her behalf!”

“What did you say!? No way!” Madam Qiao and Lian Li both exclaimed in unison.

They both valued Lian Hai so much, they couldn’t bear this no matter what. How could anyone ask Lian Hai to apologize to Lian Fang Zhou in front of them!

“Lian Fang Zhou, how dare you!” Madam Qiao’s heart was so anxious and angry, she started shouting at Lian Fang Zhou.

Lian Fang Zhou was already very impatient with their family, including Lian Hai. This time, it was okay to leave a small rift. In the future, Lian Hai would be too embarrassed to act so perfect and self-righteous in front of her. It was the same benefit!

It was good to end things here and save face.

“No need, Cousin.” Lian Fang Zhou said indifferently, “I can’t bear my cousin’s apology, nor can my eldest aunt and eldest uncle. Forget it this time! Eldest Aunt, if there is another time, don’t blame me if I stop caring about blood and family. If I’m really annoyed and do something, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it.”

After speaking, she turned and went out.

Lian Hai couldn’t stop her in time and chased after her, shouting: “Fang Zhou! Fang Zhou!” Lian Fang Zhou turned a deaf ear and sped out of the Lian’s house.

Inside, you could still hear Madam Qiao’s dissatisfied muttering: “Just trying to scare this old woman, who can’t say big words!”

Lian Fang Zhou hooked the corner of her lips and slowed down.

For fear of being seen, Lian Hai would never chase her outside of the courtyard. Most likely, he would run to her house again tonight and sit down.

However, Lian Fang Zhou would not give him this chance!

The family was already getting ready and as soon as she arrived home, the siblings, Ah Jian, and Third Aunt were all packed up and ready to go to Xiuyuan to play for a few days. Everything at home would be entrusted to Steward Qin and the others. Lian Che, who was still studying, would spend the night and eat his meals at the compound when he was not at school.

As for those long-tongued women, Lian Fang Zhou pointed out the names of the women clearly, stating that her cotton would never been sold to them!

She wanted to see if they would be punished by their families. This was much easier than her trying to go after them herself.

Getting onto their newly bought carriage, the family happily went out.

Third Aunt and Lian Fang Qing had never traveled so far before. The two of them were both extremely excited along the way and chatted non-stop. From time to time, they would lift the curtains of the carriage to look out and when they saw something new, they would exclaim in admiration again and again.

Lian Ze was helpless about this. They were so noisy that he couldn’t stand it and quickly got out of the carriage: “I’ll accompany Brother Ah Jian to drive the carriage!”

Lian Fang Zhou pursed her lips and smiled.

On the Double Ninth festival, a steward had come from the Su family’s house to give them a boxing gift. Lian Fang Zhou knew in her heart that the Su family was now seriously treating her family as relatives and had returned the gift with a corresponding gift.

This time she came to the door, she needed to go greet the two elders and perhaps have dinner with them.

When Lian Fang Zhou had decided to make friends with the Su family, she had not thought it was wrong for Master Su and his wife to dislike her.

Originally, the families were distant and didn’t know each other so why would Master Su and Madam Su look at her?

If you wanted to be recognized and respected by others, you had to show you were worthy.

Why would people treat you well for no reason?

It was good enough that they didn’t despise you!

…

The carriage quickly entered the city and the lively, noise atmosphere seemed to fill the air with every breath, impossible to ignore.

Third Aunt was reluctant to drop the curtain. Eyes wide, she said: “This is the capital of Shuangliu county? Ah, it’s similar to our county capital at first but its actually so different! Look at this city, it’s as lively as the sky!”

Lian Fang Qing was also staring outside with her big, black eyes. When she heard this, she turned her head to look at Third Aunt and asked curiously: “Third Aunt, Third Aunt, is the sky very lively?”

Third Aunt was stunned. “Are you blind?” Then she said knowingly, “Of course the place where the immortals live cannot be boring!”

Lian Fang Qing suddenly realized “oh”.

Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t help but laugh. Smiling, she said: “This place is much more lively than our county town. Before we go back, let’s have a good stroll around and see if there are any good things to buy.”

“Okay, okay! This is a very good idea!” Third Aunt immediately became excited. Lian Fang Qing’s eyes lit up and she tugged her sister’s sleeve with a big smile.

“Sister, there must be a lot of delicious food here!”

Just as she said this, the smell of exquisite delicacies from the local restaurants drifted by and Third Aunt couldn’t help licking her lips.
