Chapter 146: Persist (2)

“This is all your fault!” Old Man Yang glanced carefully behind him and then explained Liu Jia’s words in a way that his wife could understand.

Old Madam Yang’s pupils shrank slightly, and she was slightly startled.

“This, this can’t be!” After returning to her senses, Old Madam Yang’s first reaction was to deny this matter, otherwise, her heart would be unbearably painful!

Could Lian Fang Zhou, that shrinking, timid girl, hit such big luck? Could she have an honorable person to help? This was impossible! Absolutely impossible! Could there be another reason?

“I think it must be the steward who is unwilling to help us and deliberately used these words to fool people! It must be so!” Madam Yang’s tone was without doubt, extremely sure.
She gritted her teeth and said: “Just that cheap girl, how can a good thing happen to that kind of person? Such luck! If she can have such luck, our family could be relatives with the emperor!”

“You keep quiet! What is your surname? If someone heard you, the whole family would have to bear it!” Old Man Yang said angrily: “Liu Jia has made it very clear, what else do you want? Humph, you thought Lian Fang Zhou was still the same Lian Fang Zhou from before? Are you sick? You didn’t get any benefit from her before, either! I’m warning you, just keep acting out and when you get in trouble, I’ll see how you end up! Isn’t it just 30 acres? We didn’t lose any money but even made a profit! What more do you want? People will live their lives and we will live ours! Are you unable to stop provoking her? What do you have to say for yourself?”

“I–” Lady Yang snorted bitterly; her face coldly silent.

“Do you understand my meaning?” Old Man Yang said sternly: “If something is really provoke by you, don’t blame me for being polite!”

Madam Yang had to grudgingly make a vague ‘um’ under the cold gaze of the old man, but of course she refused to let it go.

She had already had a plan in her heart.
Tomorrow, she would go to Lian Fang Zhou’s house again.
She had to force Lian Fang Zhou to go with her to find the land steward and force Lian Fang Zhou to take the initiative to ‘sell’ the land to her!

If they couldn’t have it returned, they would just buy it!

After Lian Fang Zhou returned from the city, she went to San Chakou in the afternoon.
The road has been repaired, and the car can be driven directly to the ground from the main road.

Seeing Lian Fang Zhou coming, everyone smiled and called out ‘female boss’ to greet her.
Lian Fang Zhou smiled and greet them one by one.

Yesterday, everyone had heard about the trouble with Old Madam Yang and they were quick to comfort her.
Lian Fang Zhou thanked them, saying a few words on the matter.
She couldn’t help but sigh: Gossip really traveled quickly!

Today would be busy.
The twelve plowing cattle were back on the battlefield and the wasteland, which had finished burning, was ready to be reclaimed.

With the help of the cattle, it would be possible to finish the entire 700 acres in just one day.
And once the land was finished being reconnected into one piece, it would only take another two or three days to finish.

Even the barren mountain in the middle was scorched black!

Lian Fang Zhou had decided to name this mountain Xiao Hua Guo Mountain*.
Yesterday, she had instructed a small circle, about four meters, of flat ground at the foot of the mountain be set aside and not plowed.

At the moment, there were six people busy working on Xiao Hua Guo Mountain.

The mountain was very similar to the land in Shi Touping.
It needed to be cleaned up and cleared.
By now, the workers had dug out many roots and trees and piled them to the side.
When they were finished, they could start to dig pits for the fruit trees.

The pits would be about two and a half meters apart and Lian Fang Zhou estimated that 4,230 pits could be dug.
A piece of land on the top of the mountain was set aside for a house and two pieces of land at the front and back of the mountain were to be used for building chicken coops.

Lian Fang Zhou longed for an orchard, filled with various fruit trees.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a house in the middle of the orchard so when you opened the window, you could see the trees blooming and pick the fruit? In the summer, you could enjoy the cool shade underneath the trees.

Her wish was now close to being realized and not only that, it would be even better than she had previously imagined!

Lian Fang Zhou told her brothers and sister about her idea and the three siblings were very excited, full of longing and fascination, just like her.

Therefore, Lian Fang Zhou attached great importance to Xiao Hua Guo Mountain and paid great attention to the work there.

Halfway through the afternoon, at around three o’clock, Lian Fang Zhou went home first.

Now that the family had two cows, she needed to go back and look after them.

The cows had only just arrived and were very lively, not recognizing that their new home.
Lian Fang Qing and Lian Che would likely not be able to get close to them just yet and Lian Fang Zhou was uneasy at leaving them to do the work alone.
After a few more weeks, she would be satisfied.
After all, it was normal for eight to nine-year-old children to help with herding cattle.

However, Lian Che would be going back to school soon and there would be a serious shortage of manpower at home!

Lian Fang Zhou returned home, and led the cows out to eat grass and drink water with Lian Che and Lian Fang Qing.
Lian Fang Qing and Lian Che were very concerned about Xiao Hua Guo Mountain, and kept asking questions.

Their enthusiasm was even higher than Lian Fang Zhou’s!

“Sister, in two days, let’s go to Xian Teng Mountain to dig wild fruit stumps, okay?” Lian Che said eagerly.

Lian Fang Zhou smiled and said, “Isn’t Xian Teng Mountain far away, do you two really want to go?”

Lian Che and Lian Fang Qing nodded again and again, and said in unison: “We are not afraid! We can help find fruit trees, and we can also help dig them!”

The eyes of the two were very eager and full of tension, as if Lian Fang Zhou would refuse.

Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t help but laugh.
She nodded and said with a smile: “Okay! You want to go, then go! But I will say it now, no one will carry you if you can’t walk! Don’t cry about it later!”


“Certainly not!”

“No way!”

The two couldn’t help cheering and smiling, their mouths getting more and more wild as they chatted with Lian Fang Zhou about going to Xian Teng Mountain.

Lian Fang Zhou chatted with them, also feeling lively.
Her heart was warm and she couldn’t help but feel motivated!

The next day, Old Madam Yang actually ran to Lian Fang Zhou’s yard again without telling Old Man Yang.

Naturally, she would not say what Liu Jia said about the troublesome sale of official leases, but kept saying that she had already agreed with Liu Jia, and as long as Lian Fang Zhou was there, she would change the land back!

If Lian Fang Zhou refused to go, it would be bullying a lonely old lady! It was a cunning man who said nothing!

However, Lian Fang Zhou still hadn’t left with Old Madam Yang when Liu Jia arrived.

As soon as Old Madam Yang saw Liu Jia’s face, her face changed slightly, but her mind turned fast enough.
If she immediately told him that Lian Fang Zhou had agreed to return the land, as long as the matter was settled, it didn’t matter if Liu Jia was dissatisfied.
He couldn’t go against the wished of the buyer and seller! TN: *Small fruit flower mountain
