âWhat can I do for you, uncle?â Lian Fangzhou said politely and estranged.
Lian Li was obviously not very happy with her indifferent attitude, but at this time, he didnât care to pick out the right or wrong. He just said, âI heard that you are helping to buy a lot of cotton seeds? What are you doing? â
Mrs. Mrs. Qiao could not help interrupting and said, âWhere did you get so much money?â
Lian Fangzhou smiled, and she guessed that they would inquire about it, but she just didnât expect that they would come to home directly!
They really thought themself as our relatives this time!
âShould the eldest uncle and the aunt forget the note we set up in front of the village elders several days ago?â Lian Fangzhou asked without hesitation.
Lian Li snorted and said: âThe note is just the note, but we canât watch you do something stupid without any reminding! Otherwise, how can I set my mind! â
Lian Ze couldnât help whispering: âIt turns out that if not caring for us they wouldnât feel at ease. I didnât know how they relieved when they sold my sister!â
Lian Li stared at Lian Ze and seemed to blame him for mentioning the past rotten millet. And Lian Ze looked at him without any weakness.
After all, it was his own fault. He was defeated and said: âYour eldest aunt is right. Where did you get such a large sum of silver? Donât be fooled, are you? You are confused! â
Lian Fangzhou said with a smile, âYou donât have to worry about whether Iâm being cheated! I canât help you if you canât relieve! You donât care about that note, but we dare not! What we do has nothing to do with the eldest uncle or the aunt, so the eldest uncle or the aunt doesnât have to worry about or ask!â
âHow ungrateful!â âWeâre kind enough to ask you, but youâre ungrateful,â Mrs. Qiao said sharply.
Lian Fangzhou sneered and said, âBig auntâs love Fangzhou thinks she is not lucky enough to afford and enjoy it. It would be a great favor for me if Big aunt could leave me alone and ask less about me.â
âYou donât know what is good or bad!â â Shouldnât you steal the silver?â said Mrs. Qiao.
âIt was none of your business.â with these plain words Lian Fangzhou blocked back again, which made Mrs. Qiao smouldered her anger. Except for the more fierce stare at Lian Fangzhou, she did not dare to do anything else.
Lian Fangzhou was not the girl to be trifled with, which Mrs. Qiao had experienced. Because of her, the knees kneeling down for a whole day that day was still hurt. Although not every minute, but they still ached!
Lian Liâs expression also hardened. He didnât expect that Lian Fangzhou was so ungrateful that she even didnât listen to her elders!
âJust because of that note, arenât we a family? Arenât you my niece or nephew? Ainât I your uncle? This is not a small amount of money. So, if it caused any bad result in the future, your children can handle it? At that time, ainât I the only one that you guys can turn to for help?â âIâm just asking whatâs going on and you answer me to make me relaxâ he added, with a straight face. âI didnât mean to be greedy for your money!â
Lian Fangzhou sneered in her heart. How beautiful the words were! So if she didnât be honest and direct, it seemed that she forgot herself!
She didnât say half of what they said about her money, but they mentioned it almost in every sentence specially. If they said they didnât covet, would anyone believe they?
Lian Fangzhou said: âDonât worry, uncle, we wonât get you into trouble! If in the future there is really something bad happened that someone asks you to be responsible for it, just take out the note made that day! With that note, no one can involve you with us! Even when involved in a lawsuit, for the governmentâs stand, itâs also unreasonable to ask you to take the responsibility! â
Lian Li said, âThat is the case. But if I do that one day, the villagers may have break my back!â
Vise versa. Now that she Lian Fangzhou had silver in her pocket, she was too selfish to give some to her uncles or aunts. Would the villagers stab her backbones?
There was nonsense!
They had never taken care of her for a little, and they even had a vicious heart to sell her. The villagers knew all these things! How could such elders deserve their respect?
Lian Fangzhou was going to nip this idea of them. If she compromised to them today, they would reach out for a yard after taking an inch in the future.
âMy great uncle worried too muchâ said Fangzhou lightly, still refusing to make a compromise, âChief Zhang and the village elders were present when the note was signed. As the respected people in our village, they can all testify that. Who dares to disobey their words? At least we dare not! So, according to the signed note, you may be assured that no one will poked your spine! â
âBreadwinner, since she doesnât know who are good people, what can we do with her? When she cries to us for help in the future, she will know how ridiculous she is now!â Mrs. Qiao sneered.
Lian Fangzhou said lightly: âMy aunt is even more worried. When you sold me, I just wanted to cry for help. Unfortunately, I was knocked unconscious by you and didnât know anything! Since then, I will beg anybody but you! Let alone to cry! Please, Iâm afraid it doesnât work to beg you, does it? â
âYou!â âMrs. Qiao was irritated to stand up suddenly and pointed to her to scold: âI just understand! It was no wonder that two days ago you were so active in signing the note in front of Chief Zheng and the village elders! It turned out to be on our guard! Only you have so many evil plans to plot others! Of the ten or hundred people no one will like you! â
âWhy should you scold my sister in our family, eldest aunt! You are not welcomed in our family. Please go out! â Lian Ze clenched his fists. If the woman isnât his eldest aunt, the fist would have been on her face now.
It had to say he had been stronger since he practiced the martial these days. Even if he was not that strong, he wanted to have a try!
After Lian Ze called like this, Lian Fangqing and Lian Che chased Mrs. Qiao too. Mrs. Qiaoâs face is pale with rage all of a sudden. She wants to rebate. Since there are three mouths while she only have one. How could she have the opportunity to clamour?
Lian Fangzhou stopped the three younger brothers and sisters. Mrs. Qiaoâs words really made her laugh. She gave Mrs. Qiao an indifferent look and said calmly: âWhat do you think Iâm guarding against you for? Does it benefit any to guard against you? â
Now Mrs. Qiao was speechless.
What were you guarding against? Of course, Mrs. Qiao thought was in case that she took advantages! But she would never say that.
Third Grandma had nothing that couldnât say. She sneered and said, âFangzhou, youâve always been a smart girl. How can you still not understand that? Of course, they say that youâre guarding against them to take your advantages! I donât know how many times Iâve been hearing they talk about the silver! But these kind of person, really should be guard against! You just do a good job! â
âItâs none of your business!â Mrs. Qiao finally found someone to give full vent to. She rushed to Third Grandma and screamed, âItâs never your turn to talk about this. You, the widows who killed your men and was abandoned by your parents.â
