Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 143: Making trouble (3)

Lian Fang Zhou stared at her and said, “If you talk about committing a crime in the past, who can compare to you? You and your mother came to my door a few days ago! What happened then, you can’t forget.
Don’t talk about it, just remember it clearly.
What you said was unfounded nonsense just casually thrown out!”

The reason why Old Madam Yang had pulled her son out in front of everyone was to make her words more believable and make them despise Lian Fang Zhou.
Who knew that Lian Fang Zhou would be so shameless! Instead of hiding, she rushed to ask question.
She was so tricky, the old woman couldn’t stand it anymore.

Being caught by Lian Fang Zhou, even if she succeeded in wronging her, her son would not have a good reputation: What kind of good person would he be if married but still got involved with his former fiancée?

Moveover, the rush of discussion among the growing crowd was making her feel as though she was sitting on pins and needles.

She only knew that there had been some unhappiness between her daughter-in-law and Lian Fang Zhou when she had returned home a few days ago but she hadn’t known the specific details.

How could Hua Xiao Hua tell her about such a shameful thing? Even Yang Huai Shan wouldn’t mention it.

So Old Madam Yang had taken it for granted that Lian Fang Zhou had been the one to suffer last time! However, after listening to this comments, Old Madam Yang realized the truth and could barely stand it.

“You want to be shameless! A big girl, when you hear my pleas, you don’t say anything, you just rush to ask questions!” Old Madam Yang sneered: “Anyways, we refuse to sell the land! You just have to return it to us and nothing will happen!”

She added: “I don’t care about you!”

Lian Fang Zhou said: “This is one thing on earth that cannot retreat.
You opened your mouth and splashed dirty water on me and you say that I am shameless? I am sitting upright, why can’t I ask questions? If I don’t ask, then how will I succeed? What’s the matter? I’m a girl but that doesn’t mean I want to see anyone in the future!”

So Old Madam Yang took it for granted that Lian Fang Zhou was the one who suffered last time! However, after listening to these comments, Old Madam Yang faintly understood what was going on, and she couldn’t bear it.

Everyone couldn’t help but sighed after listening.

“Lian Fang Zhou, I really don’t know what’s wrong with her life.
Why are these people coming around every three days? When they see their parents gone, they are forced to separate.
And even when they separate, people say things like this! It’s not realistic!”

“Yes, what Fang Zhou said in front of the village leader a few days ago, she doesn’t look like she’s lying! Why is everyone in the Yang family so shameless! From the small to the old, they’re all like this!”

“Isn’t this just bullying orphans?”

“Yeah!”

Hua Xiao Hua’s face was flushed, and she wanted to say something but could only move her lips and lower her head.

Possessed and frustrated, Old Madam Yang said bitterly: “You are all from the same village, of course you are taking her side! Can this old woman still lie at this age? She is the one who tricked my son into selling the land!”

“Old bitch, what are you talking about!” Third Aunt appeared, furious and rushed up to shout: “Which eye did you see that? Your son is a shameless guy still wandering around my house a few days ago? Why? Which little one went and which old one came again? Does Lian Fang Zhou owe you? Suppressing your son to sell the land? What a joke! Do you have nothing left in this world other than these few acres of broken land in your house? Is there no gold or silver?”

Everyone laughed.
Although what Third Aunt said was not pleasant, wasn’t it the truth?

Lian Fang Zhou said again: “Who can speak about this? The eyes of the officials are bright and his is clear in his heart! What this village or that village, the people in Dafang Village are not so confused! You Yang family are really a dog skin plaster! What is it to you how I live my life? If you don’t make trouble after three days, you’ll feel unhappy, right?”

When everyone had heard Old Madam Yang insult the whole village, including the officials, they were naturally unhappy.
A few angry ones scolded her on the spot and those who had better tempers couldn’t help but say, “Old Madam Yang, that’s not the case! Speaking like this, you’re overturning the boat with one rod! You have to make it clear!”

Old Madam Yang also regretted her hasty words and said: “This old woman was confused so naturally would say such silly things, don’t take this into your hearts!”

When everyone heard her say this, they couldn’t say anything after humming twice.

Lian Fang Zhou said: “You don’t need to point fingers at the villagers.
You are irritated by reasoning with you.
If I allow you to pour dirty water, then you will be respected, right? If you don’t make this matter clear, I won’t let it go!”

Lian Fang Zhou was really fed up with the dog skin plasters from the Yang family.
Where did the self-righteous superiority of the Yang family come from! Could it be that she thought that Lian Fang Zhou wouldn’t do anything out of fear of their Yang family!

Old Madam Yang gave Lian Fang Zhou a fierce look, and she had to say that compared to the Hua family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she was a capable person! Hearing Lian Fang Zhou’s words, she immediately realized that she could no longer be entangled in this issue, because her casual remarks couldn’t withstand cross-examination at all, and Lian Fang Zhou had exposed her roots!

If she keep entangled, things would only get ugly.

Old Madam Yang said: “Even if what this old woman said was true, I shouldn’t have mentioned it! But for this matter, I had to!”

Lian Fang Zhou sneered: “Even if it is? What does that mean! Don’t mention it? Where do you start!”

Seeing Lian Fang Zhou picking apart her words, Old Madam Yang couldn’t help getting even more angry, and snorted, “This old woman shouldn’t have spoken in a hurry! It’s finished!”

Where would Lian Fang Zhou be willing to let her off? Coldly, she said: “It’s not that you shouldn’t but that its out of nothing! I will repeat myself; I am not interested in anyone or anything in your Yang Family! So don’t involve your good sons and husbands with me in the future! With this effort to wrong me, don’t be optimistic about your son and husband’s temper!”

“That’s fine! I hope you will do what you say! I brought banknotes, Miss Lian, you can collect them!” Old Madam Yang took two banknotes from her sleeve and shook them, saying coldly: “That place still belongs to our Yang family!”

Lian Fang Zhou did not take the money but said, “What is the use of giving this to me? You should go to land steward for this!”

“I don’t care about that! You bought the land so I can only ask you for it!” Old Madam Yang waved her arm.

Lian Fang Zhou refused to give in.

She hadn’t known that a few dozen of the acres had belonged to the Yang Family but now that she knew, she would not let that thirty acres go! Otherwise, for the sake of disgusting her in the future, who knew what the Yang mother-in-law would do!

For now, she insisted that Old Madam Yang needed to go find the land steward and she had already made a plan in her mind.
She would go to the city early in the morning and find Liu Jia and ask him for help.
She needed to be sure to keep the thirty acres and not bother with the Yang family mother-in-law.
Seeing Lian Fang Zhou’s steadfast refusal, Old Madam Yang couldn’t help but start crying again, saying that she was sorry to her ancestors.
