Chapter 130: Dispute
“Well,” Lian Fang Zhou nodded and smiled: “What you always said is not clear enough! There is no better understanding than this! But there is no proof!
“What do you mean, there is no proof?” Lian Li was angrily: “These things are all evidence!”
“Uncle, in fact, you directly brought Master Su away, why didn’t you bring him here?” Lian Fang Zhou asked with a smile.
“What you said is right!” Lian Fang Zhou didn’t expect that Lian Li would agree with her so quickly and saw that he was speaking with an extremely regretful tone: “I had a very happy conversation with Master Su at the time. I was so happy that I forgot about such an important matter! I didn’t think of it until he left. Isn’t this the case!”
He then said with a sneer: “You suspect that I’m lying. Although this is not good, it’s okay for you to think so. But think about it, how big is this matter, how can I lie? Master Su said he will come again in a while!”
Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t help but lifted her eyelids and glanced at Lian Li, her eyes brightening.
Seeing that Lian Fang Zhou finally paid attention, Lian Li sneered in his heart and said to himself, how are you still damning! Do you think you can afford it if you want to!
He didn’t know Lian Fang Zhou was only thinking that it was fine that he would come back later and she didn’t have to go to Shuang Li. She was so busy these days, how would she have time to go away! They just needed to wait for someone to come and sort things out.
She was very sure that the truth of the matter could never be what Lian Li said.
Lian Li thought he had the upper hand and took the initiative, so he held back and just sat there with his face tensed, saying nothing.
He was waiting for Lian Fang Zhou to take the next step.
“Is that the case.” Lian Fang Zhou raised her hand and gently trimmed the broken hair at her temple. However, her next words did not seem to be agreeable. She smiled and said: “Then wait for a while, then Master Su will come face to face. Say it for nothing! Uncle, what do you think? You will be able to wait for a while, right?”
“You!” Lian Lihuo stood up and pointed at her angrily: “Are you determined not to hand it over?”
“What? Why should I pay?” Lian Fang Zhou asked rhetorically.
“You dare not take the Su’s young master seriously! Lian Fang Zhou, you are so bold! Don’t forget who gave you everything you have today!” Madam Qiao also shouted sharply.
Lian Fang Zhou didn’t bother to talk to her at all, and only said to Lian Li: “Is there anything else, uncle?”
“Okay! Very good!” Lian Li was trembling with anger, obviously it should be a sure thing, right? How could it become like this!
Lian Li couldn’t wait to act directly: People are pretty unreasonable, why should he be reasonable?
But he knew that even if it was robbing, let alone anything else, just with Ah Jian, they would not be able to grab it!
No matter how angry and unwilling he was, he had to accept it temporarily, not knowing how long they could say ‘let’s see!’.
“Then wait,” Lian Li’s face was pale, and he sneered: “After waiting for Master Su to come, I’ll see how you explain to Master Su! The root of my hair is stronger than your waist! I’d like to see how you confess! Let’s go!”
Lian Li called to Madam Qiao and went away angrily.
“What the hell is going on!” Third Aunt went out and locked the gate of the yard. She came back and asked: “Big Brother’s tone, those words, how can I listen to them? It doesn’t sound like a lie! If this is…”
Third Aunt did not continue, but said, “Oh!”
What if this is true?
Lian Fang Zhou looked at her, then at Ah Jian, Lian Ze and the others, and slowly said, “I think, there is some misunderstanding! Didn’t the uncle say that there will be people from the Su family? Let’s just wait…”
Ah Jian also raised his eyebrows and said: “Could he be the wrong person? If the young master of the Su family went out, how could he only bring a small servant. And only riding a horse all day, not even a carriage?”
Lian Fang Zhou laughed and smiled, raising her eyes: “You think so too!”
Ah Jian thought for a while, his eyes became a little deep, and couldn’t help but glance at Lian Fang Zhou.
Lian Fang Zhou didn’t see him, and said with a smile: “What is this trouble, what is it! Three days and two nights! Forget it, let’s wash and sleep! There are still many things to do tomorrow!”
Early the next day, Lian Fang Zhou, Lian Ze, and Ah Jian went to the city to buy big bones, meat, and other supplies. The stopped to have breakfast in the city along the way.
After coming back, Lian Ze and Ah Jian still went to the land to oversee while Lian Fang Zhou helped with the cooking at home.
At about noon, the cowshed in the backyard was set up, and the helpers said goodbye one by one. Uncle Li called Lian Fang Zhou to the backyard to see.
Lian Che and Lian Fang Qing also went with them.
There was a total of three rooms, side by side in the east corner of the backyard. Each room was about two or three meters long and two meters wide. It was made of wooden beams and pillars. The left, right and back three sides were nailed with a piece of wood, except for the middle and the next one. The board on the other side was only nailed more than one meter high, and the side and back were nailed up to the top. A movable fence-like door was left in front, and the rest was nailed with wooden boards only one meter high.
There was also a compartment on the top, with beams and pillars, and flat planks, about 1.5 meters below the roof, which could be used for stacking hay. It was rain-proof and dry, and easy to access.
The roof of the shed was covered with thick sun-dried cedar bark, and it was pressed horizontally with bamboo strips and nailed with iron nails, which was very stable.
Lian Fang Zhou was very satisfied, and thanked Li Shu.
“I have nearly a couple of silver taels left. When I go back, I’ll figure it out and ask Aunt Zhang to send it over!” Li Shu smiled and said, “The hay from your home is piled up in the fields. Quickly take it back and store it! The cows can also be bought quickly! Also, the manure should be dealt with properly. The straw in the cowshed should be spread evenly. Before spreading, use a guillotine knife to divide it into several sections to fill the manure. Quickly keep it filled!”
Lian Fang Zhou thanked him with a smile, and said she would go to town to buy it on the day after tomorrow.
She didn’t want to ask for the last few couple of silvers, but she also knew that Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang’s tempers would be high if she insisted. If she kept saying it again, she would be hypocritical.
Just accept it, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to buy some gifts to express her gratitude when she entered the city later?
“You’re welcome! It’s just a few words to remind you, haha, don’t think I am long-winded!” Li Shu waved his hand and smiled.
“How can it be! I’m not so confused!” Lian Fang Zhou also smiled.
Uncle Li smiled and said, “You are a sensible person, I dare to say that too!” Seeing that there was nothing else to say, he said goodbye.
The three siblings of Lian Fang Zhou wanted show him out, but Uncle Li stopped them, “You are busy with your matters, don’t bother with me, I’m not a guest!”
Lian Fang Zhou responded with a smile and watched him go.
