Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 262: Follow-up

His brother had never provoked anyone! Why did they have to play tricks and bully him like that? If he hadn’t arrived in time, god only knew what would have happened to him!

Lian Che said slowly: “Last time, it was the four of them working together.
This time, it was only the two Yang brothers who needed to be taught a lesson.
They will definitely hate Lin Fei and Lin Jin for escaping without a scratch and won’t get along in the future.
Also, I don’t want to fight everyone who bothers me and have a bad reputation with my classmates.”

“So that’s it!” Lian Ze said, suddenly realizing, and Lian Fang Qing let out a soft ‘oh’.

Lian Ze sighed: “Hey, Ah Che, no wonder your teacher praises you for being smart! Brother Ah Jian also said that your idea was good but until you said this, I wasn’t convinced!”

Lian Che couldn’t help but let out a huff, smiling and scratching his head: “I don’t want to be like that, Second Brother.”

From beginning to end, Lian Che had not participated in the fight, which is what Ah Jian had suggested.

Ah Jian had explained that Lian Che would take the road of the imperial examinations in the future and that the so-called ‘gentlemen scholars’ used words, not their hands to fight.
Therefore, Lian Che only needed to stand to the side and watch.
He had also told them that the Yang brothers were arrogant and had never suffered a loss before, so in order to make sure they were truly afraid, they must be cruel enough to make them remember it! Once they were terrified, it would completely reset their thoughts of revenge.

If you find this elsewhere, it has been stolen.

Back in the forest, as soon as the Lian siblings had left, the two Lin boys looked at each other and ran away without speaking a word to the Yang brothers.

While running, they both secretly rejoiced that they had escaped.

However, despite not being beaten, the fear in their hearts was no less than that of the Yang brothers.
Seeing Lian Che in the future, they would definitely not dare to provoke him!

Yang Wen Zhong watched them run and said ‘Bah!’, cursing them both: “Two cowards who know nothing about loyalty! Hmph, what a shame!”

“Those two bastards, I’ll remember them clearly!” Yang Wen Xiao also cursed, touching his wounds gently.
He winced again.

“I will find them again, tomorrow!” Yang Wen Zhong cursed a few words and went to help Yang Wen Xiao: “Wen Xiao, how are you? Can you get up? We should go home, otherwise we will be scolded for being late!”

He looked down at his cuff which had been torn off long ago, and cried, saying: “What to do? I will definitely be scolded when we get back, maybe even beaten!”

“Lian Che, that despicable villain!” Although Yang Wen Xiao’s clothes had not been torn, the pain he had suffered was many times worse than Yang Wen Zhong.
Seeing the state of them, he immediately scolded the culprit.

Yang Wen Zhong’s face turned white, and he glanced around instinctively, hurriedly tugging at his brother.
He hissed: “Wen Xiao, keep quiet! Don’t say that!”

“What? Are you scared?” Yang Wen Xiao raised his eyebrow and stared at him roughly.

“I…” Yang Wen Zhong started before bowing his head silently.

“Coward! Hmph!” Yang Wen Xiao cursed but his momentum was not enough.

“We can’t beat…” Yang Wen Zhong whispered.

His brother ignored him, only saying: “Help me up, let’s go back! Let’s just say, let’s just say we fell on the road…”

The two of them walked home, discussing what how they would deal with the adults.

By now, the three Lian siblings had returned happily returned home, an unconcealable excitement between their brows.
Lian Fang Zhou pretended not to see it, just smiling and greeting them as usual.

However, now that the matter was resolved, Lian Ze and Lian Che felt that there was no reason to continue hiding it from their sister.
After all, she was the head of the family.

After dinner, Lian Ze explained the causes and consequences to Lian Fang Zhou.

When he was finished, he proudly said: “Sister, don’t worry! I believe that no one will dare to bully Ah Che in the future, he can go to school safely!”

As soon as she heard that Lian Che had been bullied, Third Aunt had started scolding them furiously.
Hearing that they had solved the problem today, she became happy again and praised them greatly.

Naturally, Lian Fang Zhou would not blame her brother for being ruthless.
She nodded and sighed: “The same rich can raise a hundred different kinds of people and there are always those who find others displeasing.
There is nothing that can be done about that but as long as you brothers can support each other, this sister will feel relieved! Just remember, you must not be impulsive, you have to plan carefully and only act after you have thought about it.
If you can’t solve it, at least don’t make more trouble for yourself.”

Lian Ze and Lian Che agreed.

Lian Fang Qing quickly jumped in: “Not just brothers but also me! I also helped a lot!”

Everyone laughed.

The next day, Lian Che calmly went to school as usual.
When they saw him, Lin Fei and Lin Jin immediately ran away with guilty consciences, wishing to act as invisible as possible.
As for Yang Wen Xiao and Yang Wen Zhong, they didn’t come to school until three days later.

Although they both hated Lian Che, they had been severely taught a lesson by Lian Ze and did not dare retaliate.

Instead, their resentment was transferred to Lin Fei and Lin Jin and they quickly found an excuse to fight with them.

The fight was seen and reported to Teacher Meng, who punished all four of them to read the rules and etiquette of the class and copy 300 characters.

Soon, it was fully spring, and the fields were bursting with seedlings.
With Qin Feng leading the workers to maintain the fields, Lian Fang Zhou’s time was fairly relaxed.

After five or six days of work, Lian Fang Zhou grafted the healthy branches from the Lin Family Orchard to the stumps they had brought back.

Each stump had two to three branches.
As soon as the spring breeze picked up and the sun began to shine, the grafted branches broke out with buds.
After just a few days, they were full of fresh and tender green leaves.

At this time, the transplanted fruit tree saplings also sprouted and grew leaves.
Only a few dozen trees did not survive and were quickly replaced.

The new branches and leaves were growing very quickly.
The buds were densely packed, with veins of water glittering in the sun.
There were even some flowers starting to bloom, the red, white, and pink flowers against the green background were especially bright and lovely.

It would not be long before the large area would bloom like a sea of flowers and the Lian siblings couldn’t help but feel fascinated.

Living in such a green environment, Madam Sun’s mood was naturally very good and she assured Lian Fang Zhou that as soon as the area fully bloomed, she would let them know.

“Originally, I thought these saplings would be too small and wouldn’t be able to give much shade during the hot summer, making it difficult to raise chickens this year.
However, looking at the current situation, I think it’s possible.” Lian Fang Zhou said excitedly.
Ah Jian smiled at her.

Ah Jian nodded: “Do you want to arrange this in advance?”
