Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 476: Lessons

Leaning against the window, she thought deeply.
Tomorrow she would need to remember to close the window early.
This person was getting more and more bold— he almost seemed like a different person!

After a good night’s sleep, Lian Fang Zhou woke up the next morning.

As the first meal in their new house, Third Aunt specially made dumplings stuffed with sesame and sweet-scented osmanthus with a lot of sugar, symbolizing the sweet days to come.

After breakfast, Ah Jian and Lian Ze went to Luozhi mountain and Lian Fang Zhou went to the compound to deal with the Jiang couple.

These two people, she felt tired just thinking about them.

Lian Fang Zhou was not a fan of Madam Qiao but everyone knew she wasn’t a good person.
As long as her actions didn’t come across as unfilial and were not unreasonable, no one would say anything about how Lian Fang Zhou treated her.

But Madam Jiang was different.
She was more clever than Lian Li and knew how to smile sincerely in front of others, looking like she cared deeply for her nieces and nephews.

Lian Fang Zhou felt sick every time she saw that kind smile on her face.

Greeting Steward Qin first, Lian Fang Zhou smiled and asked: “Did they make a fuss last night?”

 Steward Qin shook his head, “Nothing to make a fuss about.
Will Miss Lian go see them or should I bring them over?” He was not the type of person who liked to complain and strongly felt that as the steward, he needed to deal with troublesome matters for his masters, rather than always complaining and looking for help.

As soon as they had removed the gags from the Jiang couple last night, the two people had started cursing even before the workers could untie the ropes.
Steward Qin had wanted to immediately gag them again but he couldn’t starve them, so he held back.

They untied the ropes and gave them a meal.

The two people were very picky: one wanted to eat braised hooves, the other wanted a slow cooked old rooster.
One wanted to drink good wine, the other wanted to eat bird’s nest porridge!

Even the host family didn’t eat bird’s nest porridge, they really didn’t consider themselves as outsiders!

Where did Steward Qin have the patience to deal with them? Without a word, he walked away.

There were four dishes and one soup on the table, both meat and vegetarian.
Whether they are or not was up to them!

He didn’t go back in until after the couple finished eating.

The two of them were not embarrassed in the slightest, the immediately started scolding him.
They wanted him to go the new house and ask Lian Fang Zhou why she was treating her uncle and aunt like this!

The rambled a lot and scolded Steward Qin up one side and down the other.
He was impatient just listening to them.
Seeing that they were so dishonest, he just asked people to gag them again and tied them up, throwing them in a clean room on some beds.

The door of the room was locked and the key was one him, he didn’t even look at it before Lian Fang Zhou came the next morning.

Lian Fang Zhou thought for a moment and then said: “You come with me!”

Steward Qin agreed and led the way.
When they opened the door and went in, the couple had already woken up.
Seeing Lian Fang Zhou, their eyes widened and they became very excited.

She stood not far from the bed and watched them struggle coldly, listening to their excited muffled shouts without saying a word.

Liu Gu Zi and Madam Jiang had not expected Lian Fang Zhou to act like this.
They were both angry and anxious and finally, defeated, they stopped struggling.

Lian Fang Zhou ordered Steward Qin to ungag them.

“Niece, what are you doing You—” Liu Gu Zi exhaled, hurriedly scolding Lian Fang Zhou.

Without waiting for Lian Fang Zhou’s instructions, Steward Qin decisively put the gag back in his mouth.

Madam Jiang’s face was pale.
Biting her lip, she looked at Lian Fang Zhou without speaking.

“I don’t like hearing the words ‘nephew’ and ‘niece’ very much,” Lian Fang Zhou said coldly, “so don’t say them again.
Not only in front of me but also in front of others! Since you looked down on us before, you might as well keep looking down on us.
Don’t treat us like we’re fools! I will warn you one last time, don’t provoke me again.
Don’t challenge my bottom line, otherwise, I will cripple you.
Do you believe it or not?” Her expression sank and sank, and the whole room felt uneasy.

In Lian Fang Zhou’s eyes, Madam Jiang could only see coldness.

She suddenly regretted it a little…

“You, what do you mean? What do you mean ‘cripple us’…?” Madam Jiang asked faintly.

Lian Fang Zhou sneered and deliberately spoke very slowly: “Don’t you understand this? If I break your legs, naturally you will be crippled!”

“You—!” Madam Jiang forceful pushed back the rest of her sentence, ‘dare’.
Her heart was beating wildly and it felt like it was lodged in her throat.

She knew that Lian Fang Zhou dared.

What’s more, not only was she rich, she also had a lot of money from the oil mill.
At least enough to ask someone to break their legs a dozen times over.

“Aren’t you afraid of gossip?” Madam Jiang asked, her voice trembling.

Lian Fang Zhou looked sat her coldly: “Easy, you won’t be able to talk if I cut out your tongue.” Then she sneered.
“Don’t worry, I’m not so heartless.
After I cripple you, I won’t abandon you.
I will take care of you and guarantee that you will always have a bowl of rice.”

Madam Jiang bit her lip again.
She didn’t want a bowl of rice, she wanted to enjoy a rich life!

Lian Fang Zhou watched her with sharp eyes, as if she could see straight through to Madam Jiang’s heart at a glance.
Her voice was like ice as she said: “It’s better not to think about things you don’t deserve.
If you want to make a fortune, think of a way to earn it yourself!”

“What can we do? There is no one to help us! Madam Jiang complained, looking at Lian Fang Zhou expectantly.

But before she could make a case, Lian Fang Zhou interrupted her impatiently: “That’s your family’s business, it has nothing to do with me! Go away, take care with your mouth and don’t come again in the future, otherwise I won’t welcome you.”

Steward Qin stepped forward and untied Liu Gu Zi and retreated.
Liu Gu Zi pulled the cloth out of his mouth without speaking and untied Madam Jiang.
He glared at Lian Fang Zhou, looking like he wanted to say something but finally closed his mouth.

He was lazy and had no courage, timid as a mouse.
The chill in Lian Fang Zhous words felt even more frightening than his wife’s!

He couldn’t help but glance at Madam Jiang again.
If it wasn’t for her scolding, he would not have come here.
It was all her fault…

Seeing that they were free, Lian Fang Zhou said indifferently: “Don’t think of using my cousin to make a fool of yourselves.
My cousin can work at his age.
If you come to me, I will only arrange for him to work in the fields.
There is nothing else! As for if my cousin is studying well or something else, you are his parents, you can deal with it yourselves.
It’s impossible for him to live in my house with Che’er.”

“My mother-in-law loves my son dearly, Niece— no, Fang Zhou, you can’t—” Madam Jiang protested.

“What can’t I do?” Lian Fang Zhou said cruelly: “He’s your son! I only care about my grandmother.
By the way, it is only thanks to her that you won’t be left without food.
Eat but that’s it! If you really make me angry, you can’t afford it!”
