Lian Fang Zhou stared at her flatly. It was like a weight pressing down on Madam Qiao, making her feel breathless.
âLetâs talk! Whatâs going on? If you donât tell the truth, donât blame me for not being polite. I will only give you one chance! Donât try to lie to me!â Lian Fang Zhou glanced at her and said lightly.
The blood in Madam Qiaoâs body was sluggish and her body was numb and uncomfortable. The rope was so tight that she didnât dare to move at all, it was so painful! And on this cold ground, it felt like the cold had even seeped into her bone marrow like ice!
In this situation, as long as there was hope of liberation, what did she dare to hide?
âIâll speak, Iâll speak!â Madam Qiao nodded quickly and explained that the two of the pair had discussed a plan with each other last night. They had decided that today they were going to repossess the land. She had waited for the opportunity to come in to search for money and land deeds, it didnât matter what. As long as one of them succeed, they both would win!
âReally shameless!â Lian Fang Zhou said coldly: âGo back and tell my uncle, you two must be dead! These things are not yours at all! You donât give up, you just waste your time thinking for nothing!â
âDefinitely, surely! I must tell him!â How could Madam Qiaoâs care about the land at this time? She nodded and agreed. Even if she was yelled at, she would follow suit without hesitation.
Despite this, Lian Fang Zhou clearly heard that she only said she would go back to talk to Lian Li, she had obviously not taken the words into her heart. Lian Fang Zhou sneered silently and didnât bother to tear through her words. She turned around and said, âUncle, you should come in and take back your wife!â
Madam Qiaoâs eyes widened in shock as the door was pushed open with a âclangâ, and Lian Li came in from the outside with a gloomy face. In addition to Third Aunt, Lian Ze, Ah Jian and others at the door, there were also Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li.
When she realized Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li had heard what she just said, Madam Qiaoâs face was completely gray.
Lian Li untied the rope with a cold expression and helped her up.
Even though she was liberated, her body was still numb and stiff. As soon as Madam Qiao stood up, she swayed unsteadily until she was leaning on Lian Li, almost knocking them both to the floor.
After waiting for a while, Lian Li helped Madam Qiao out of the room as Lian Fang Zhou and the others stood in the outer room, looking at them lightly.
Madam Qiao walked quietly, she was so guilty that she didnât dare to look up.
Aunt Zhang sighed and said nothing.
Lian Li reluctantly nodded towards Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang, and helped Madam Qiao out the door. His face was sullen and he didnât look at Lian Fang Zhou and others even once.
Lian Fang Zhou hadnât expect him to say anything good. As for the bad things, if was fine as long as he kept them to himself!
She still had so many serious and important things to work on, and she didnât have the time to spend all day wrangling with him.
Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li had been invited to act as witnesses. Otherwise, Lian Fang Zhou would not be sure whether Lian Li would beat them, telling everyone that they had attacked their eldest aunt.
âGood girl, itâs really hard for you!â Aunt Zhang couldnât help but take Lian Fang Zhouâs hand and pat gently.
On the contrary, Lian Fang Zhou was very open-minded and said with a smile: âI am not worried about this anymore, they canât affect me! Iâm only sorry to have troubled Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li!â
âItâs okay! They did it, and they were afraid that people would see it!â Aunt Zhang waved her hand. Uncle Li also nodded and agreed.
Lian Fang Zhou smiled and thanked them, and then told Li Shu about the good news that Liu Jia had brought, that he could sell charcoal tomorrow.
Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang were both surprised and delighted. Uncle Li smiled and said: âIn that case, tomorrow I will go to open the kiln with your Aunt Zhang, and let your brother San He and sister-in-law set up the family ox cart to send the charcoal!â
Lian Fang Zhou smiled and nodded, and said, âNow that we have a donkey cart, and Ah Jian will go with them!â
After discussing for a while, they agreed and Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang left.
No one spoke for the rest of the night.
Early the next day, Ah Jian drove the donkey cart to Liâs car and went to load the cart. Originally, he had planned on setting up the cart before coming back to eat before they left but Aunt Zhang and the others refused, insisting that he stay to eat with them. Ah Jian could only give in with a smile.
Aunt Zhang sent Li Juan to Lianâs house and tell them.
Lian Fang Zhou didnât say anything, only smiled and said âI got it!â
Ah Jian and Li San He drove the donkey cart and ox cart one after another out of Dafang Village.
The two of them had discussed it before they left. The donkey cart was faster, so Ah Jian would leave first. He could buy time for two more trips and Li San He and Li San He would come later. He would also show them where they needed to drop off the goods.
Naturally, Li San He and Madam Zhao had no objection, and Madam Zhao felt even more eager for Ah Jian to be quicker and run twice as fast!
Li San He was a down-to-earth person. Seeing Ah Jian and the donkey cart were leaving soon, he didnât deliberately slow down, but drove the ox cart with a whip.
After Sister Fang Zhouâs siblings and Third Aunt had breakfast, Lian Fang Zhou and Lian Ze went to the ground in Shi Touping.
When they arrived, the hired workers were already working, and when they saw the brother and sister coming, they greeted them with a smile. The greetings of âBoss girlâ and âLittle bossâ came one after another.
Lian Fang Zhou and Lian Ze agreed  them one by one with a smile until they had exchanged greetings with everyone.
Todayâs job was to smash the big chunks of mud in the soil. For 30 people, it was estimated that it would take about two days to finish.
Lian Fang Zhou smiled and asked when they had left yesterday. Knowing that it had been getting dark before they left, she couldnât help but say a few words with a smile, and then said, âDidnât I say that you could come later today? Why are you all here so early?â
âWhen is a farmer so delicate? I canât sleep after dawn. Isnât it better to come a little earlier and finish the work early?â Everyone laughed.
They all trusted that if they finish the work in a day and a half, the owner would still pay them two daysâ wages.
During the high season of farming, it was common for them to return home after dark. It wasnât too dark yesterday, who would complain about this?
Although they all thought this in their hearts, Lian Fang Zhouâs attitude still made them feel very respected.
âThen you must be careful and pay attention to your rest times! It wonât be good if you are overworked and hurt your body!â Lian Fang Zhou smiled.
Everyone agreed and said: âItâs okay, we know it!â
After exchanging some gossip, Lian Fang Zhou smiled and said: âYou are all busy, Iâll go back and cook lunch first! Ah Ze will stay here, go to him if there is an issue!â
Li Qing and Wu Xiao Mao originally wanted to ask Lian Fang Zhou about hiring people in the future. This matter would naturally go through Zhao Liu, but they also felt it was necessary to talk to Lian Fang Zhou first.
But when Lian Fang Zhou intended to head back, the two looked at each other and planned to wait for another opportunity to talk.
Who knew that Lian Fang Zhouâs sharp eyes happened to see their exchange! She smiled and said: âUncle Li and Uncle Wu, do you have something you need to talk about? Just say it!â
