Wang San yelled âAh!â in pain and looked up bitterly at Li Er, shouting: âGood, you Li Er, you must die!â
Among this group pf people, Wang San had originally been the most dominate man. After being slapped by Li Er, he immediately hated him.
âDid I say stop? Continue to beat him until he is softened, I think he still quite proud!â Lian Fang Zhou said coldly.
Seeing that Wang San had fallen like this, Li Er couldnât help but be annoyed. He raised his hand and greeted Wang Sanâs face.
Wang San screamed, desperately twisting his body and struggling to dodge, but his arms were pinned back from behind, where could he go?
At first, he cursed and screamed with full confidence but gradually his cursing became more vague and fainter. Finally, the cursing disappeared, leaving only the screaming.
When everyone saw this, their bodies stiffened and their hearts pounded. Their courage was gone and the palms of their hands were cold.
Lian Fang Zhou stood there calmly, without a twitch of her eyelid, and she didnât seem interested in stopping.
Li Er was starting to feel numb. He paused for a moment, took a breath, and continued to beat him.
Wang Sanâs screams turned into groans. It wasnât that it stopped hurting, it was just so painful that he had no strength to call out.
At this time, his cheeks on both sides were red and swollen and the corners of his mouth had already begun to leak blood. His teeth were loose, his face hot and painful, and his ears were buzzing.
âI was wrong! I was wrong! I was wrong!â Wang San finally realized, shouting out.
It was a pity that Li Erâs hand did not stop and his voice was a little vague because of his mouth being in so much pain. Lian Fang Zhou and the others could not hear him clearly.
Wang San had to bear the pain and let out a loud and clear âI was wrong!â before Lian Fang Zhou told Li Er to stop.
Wang San lowered his head. There was blood at the corners of his mouth and his entire face was as red and swollen as a pigâs head. He knelt there as if he had lost all his energy. Where was the arrogance of the previous hour?
Lian Fang Zhou sneered: âYou kept saying that I am vicious and punished you for no reason, so letâs ask the other workers, did I punish you over nothing? Hmph, a slave that deliberately tries to deceive the master, why bother punishing, I should just kill you, right?â
Lian Fang Zhou pointed to Wang Er, who was standing nearby and had seen everything, and said: âYou tell the workers what happened! Everyone listen closely. Did I humiliate this slave for no reason?â
Wang Er said âyesâ respectfully and settled down. He explained what had happened and did not dare add anything or leave anything out.
After everyone had heard the story, their gazes at Wang San couldnât help become a little disgusted.
A slave who teased his master so openly would definitely be punished no matter where he went. Lian Fang Zhou slapping him and ordering him to kneel, there was nothing wrong with it.
This was a fact and Wang Er was not the only witness, so Wang Sanâs actions were naturally irrefutable.
However, he still felt resentment in his heart, believing that Lian Fang Zhou had set up a trap for him.
If she hadnât spoken so kindly, surely he wouldnât have done so.
This was because he was not at ease!
He didnât want to think too deeply. He had said he didnât understand and she had taught him, what was wrong with this? If he had been a serious person who truly wanted to learn, why would he deliberately tease like that? Obviously, he was not right in his mind and had impure motives!
Lian Fang Zhou said coldly: âIt seems that you did not take my words seriously! I will say it again: As long as you work well, I will never treat you badly! I have suffered the same for the food and accommodation you had the last few days. As long as you do things faithfully, there will be more benefits in the future! But if anyone dares to act dishonestly, I wonât tolerate it!â
Lian Fang Zhou said to Qin Feng: âQin is in charge, letâs set up the cart. You and Ah Jian will go to the city and send this Wang San and the other away! If there are more suitable ones, buy a couple. If there are not, forget about it and come back.â
As she spoke, she pointed a finger at the worker she had asked to force Wang San to kneel but had not moved, Wang Si.
Wang Siâs face turned pale and his knees softened. He dropped to his knees and begged: âMiss, me, what did I do wrong, I didnât do anything!â
Lian Fang Zhou said coldly: âYou didnât put the words of your master in your eyes and didnât listen to my instructions. What is the use of keeping you? No need to speak, just go!â
Everyoneâs hearts tightened and their faces changed slightly.
Just for this? Where was Wang Si willing to be convinced and he continued to plead. Qin Feng understood that Lian Fang Zhou was killing the chicken to warn the monkeys and shouted: âDoes she need to say it again, get up and go! You wouldnât listen to Miss, so for what would Miss keep you? In the future, if people learned of this, what would it look like?â
Wang Si did not dare to say more and stood up with his head drooping, following Qin Feng and Ah Jian while Wang San sneered.
âAlright, everyone get back to work.â Lian Fang Zhou said lightly.
How would they dare not listening to her now? Hearing this, they all agreed and returned to their work without daring to pause.
On this day, everyone was obviously more honest and obedient.
In the afternoon, Qin Feng and Ah Jian returned with two more people. They were also called Wang San and Wang Si. Making up for the previous two, they went to work.
What Lian Fang Zhou didnât know was that Qin Feng and Ah Jian had not left the first Wang San and Wang Si at Cai Wu Langâs for more than an hour before Zhao Ru Jun sent someone to buy them back and name them Zhao San and Zhao Si.
In the twinkling of an eye, it was the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month and the work in the field was finally finished. The 150 acres of nursery land was finally put in order and the seedlings were ready to be raised directly at the start of spring.
The small vegetable plot near the warehouse compound was also cultivated and sprinkled with seeds.
The vegetables in Lian Fang Zhouâs vegetable garden were not enough to feed them all. For a while, she had to buy extra from the village. Fortunately, it was all grown in the village and therefore very cheap.
This would be good enough for the moment.
Lian Fang Zhou also set aside five acres of land near the foot of Xiaohuaguo Mountain on the Shitouping side to side to grow vegetables. In the past few days, Qin Feng led the people to sow the loose soil.
Since Lian Fang Zhou resolutely dealt with Wang San and sold him and Wang Si, everyone looked at her with awe and did not dare look down on her.
After all, no one wanted to âstumbleâ into the river in such cold weather!
Moreover, Lian Fang Zhou really did treat them well, with thick blankets, enough food, rice or noodles with each meal, and one meal of meat every two days. This was unprecedented!
TN: Not going to lie, LFZâs speech about stumbling into rivers etc makes her sound a little like a mob boss.
