Chapter 465: Smart People

When Lian Fang Zhou saw Old Madam Cai’s posture, she let go of more than half of her heart. With their grandmother around, their uncle and aunt wouldn’t make any trouble.

However, she was still used to dealing with things with her own hands.

Smiling at Madam Jiang, Lian Fang Zhou said: “Auntie, grandma will take care of you in the future! I have a few words that I want to say to my aunt alone, I don’t know if its convenient or not?”

Madam Jiang wanted to get angry and say that it was inconvenient, but thinking of the wealth of Lian Fang Zhou’s family right now, she swallowed the words and forced a smile: “Please tell me what my niece has to say!”

Lian Fang Zhou smiled and walked to the door with her.

As soon as they were alone, her eyes became cold as she stared at her aunt. In a low voice, she said: “I know you will not give up and are still thinking about how to calculate my family’s money. But before you try, you better measure how many taels you have! You can go out and inquire about others who have tried. I’m sure you have heard of Zhao Ru Jun, the young lady of the Zhao family, the richest family in the county? If you annoy me, you will not be able to bear the consequences. No one can threaten me. I don’t need complicated means… what do you think would happen if I send my uncle a beautiful concubine and a sum of money with the only condition that he must divorce you? I think he would be very happy.”

“You!” Madam Jiang’s face turned pale and her eyes widened to stare at Lian Fang Zhou.

“As the saying goes, a virtuous wife and husband have few misfortunes. You should persuade uncle to take good care of my grandma. Although you can’t be rich, you won’t need to worry about food and clothing. If you think about other thinks, you won’t succeed. Don’t compare yourself to my family, you have no right. You have no right to be jealous or resentful. Because none of it belongs to you! If it wasn’t for grandma’s sake, I would never give you a second look! So you better take good care of her and look forward to her long life!”

After she finished speaking, she smiled at Madam Jiang and added: “Auntie is a smart person, don’t use your cleverness in the wrong place.” Then she turned and left.

Although she was not afraid of Liu Gu Zi and Madam Jiang’s schemes and tricks, she didn’t want to deal with these trivial matters all day long. She had already explained things clearly, if Madam Jiang insisted on going her own way, Lian Fang Zhou would never give her a second chance and would solve her in one go!

Madam Jiang was not the same as Madam Qiao, there was almost nothing to worry about.

After she left, Madam Jiang stood there blankly. Her body was cold and her heart was chilled.

Terrible!

She had never thought that Lian Fang Zhou, who used to look so gentle and shy, who laughed quietly and barely talked when she met people, would become so sharp!

Those clear, lingering eyes seemed to be able to see the bottom of her heart! Terrible!

Disheartened, she sighed inwardly: “That’s it, that’s it! Although that money is dazzling and attractive, its necessary to be alive to enjoy it!”

That girl was completely different than before. Now she had people and money in her hands, if she really wanted to turn her face and not recognize people, or do something against them, she barely had to lift her hand.

Madam Jiang was very clear about the benefits of money. What couldn’t you do if you could pay for it?

As long as the Old Madam was alive, she didn’t believe Lian Fang Zhou would ignore her. Although they couldn’t enjoy great wealth, they would not lose out on food and clothing. In short, it was more than enough!

Though her heart was unwilling, Madam Jiang stopped thinking about those other things.

The Old Madam was really angry now and she needed to coax her. As long as her mother-in-law still cared for their family, she could naturally seek more benefits and there were the two children—

Madam Jiang’s eyes lit up, yes, there were still too children!

Even if that old woman was dissatisfied and hated her son and daughter-in-law, she would still take pity on her grandsons!

She just needed to coax the old woman back and beg her over the next few days, let her say a few words about letting the two boys go over and help manage things. The younger one could even go to school with Lian Che! Lian Fang Qing was a clever girl, it didn’t matter which son*… it would be good if one could please her and even get a kiss in the future…

Her eyes twitched and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight new ideas came to mind and she was full of fighting spirit again!

It’s not that she would give up, it was that she would change her methods and strategies!

Thinking of this, Madam Jiang’s unwillingness and resentment suddenly calmed down a lot. When sending off the four siblings, her smile was a little bit more sincere.

On the way back, Lian Ze, Lian Che, and Lian Fang Qing were all very happy and excited. They laughed the whole way home! The grandma did not forget them, she still loved them very much!

Lian Fang Zhou’s mood was also much lighter. If she could, she was willing to help their relatives, as long as they didn’t try anything good.

It was a pity that their relatives on both their father and mother’s side were all such good characters!

Thinking of Madam Jiang’s smile when they left, the smile on Lian Fang Zhou’s face became a little more solemn. She didn’t believe that Madam Jiang had figured things out so quickly.

People who only knew how to calculate others were not good at knowing when to stop.

Thinking about this, she became very quiet. Who knew when Ah Jian noticed and came over, asking with smile: “What are you thinking about? I don’t think your grandmother is confused and your uncle has no power. You aunt is smart but she’s far away, I believe you can solve a lot of trouble in the future.”

She laughed: “You can see it too! But my aunt, hmph, she’s just too smart!”

Seeing this, Ah Jian was a little puzzled so she explained the changes in Madam Jiang’s attitude before and after they left.

Ah Jian didn’t think there was anything to be concerned about and shrugged: “So what? No matter what ideas she has, how can she succeed so easily? Just wait and see. If she has other thoughts, she will show traces sooner or later.”

Lian Fang Zhou thought about this and couldn’t help but relax. “As expected, I was thinking too much!”

~

Soon, the party reached home but they never expected to see the mother and daughter-in-law of the Yang family waiting at their door!

Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t help but frown: What had happened in these two days? How did they provoke such people?

Since Yang Huai Shan had saved her life, Lian Fang Zhou’s feelings about the Yang family were complicated.

“Aunt Yang, Sister Yang!” Lian Fang Zhou greeted them politely, “Is there something wrong that you needed to come all this way?”

Thanks to Yang Huai Shan, Lian Fang Zhou was a little more polite to the Yang family. If it was before, they wouldn’t even be able to step a foot into the door of their house.

Madam Yang snorted, her expression one of unwillingness and jealousy.

Ever since Yang Huai Shan had almost died trying to save Lian Fang Zhou, Madam Yang hated not only her son’s failure to live up to her expectations but also Lian Fang Zhou’s lucky star. She had scolded Lian Fang Zhou a hundred times.

TN: *For those that don’t know, it was acceptable for maternal cousins to marry. So Madam Jiang wants to marry one of her sons to Lian Fang Qing
