Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 113 Disturbance (4)

Madam Liu was extremely embarrassed and angry, and she couldn’t take it anymore, whispering: “How does this count? It’s obviously shameless collusion…”

“Shut up!” Old Madam Hua suddenly glared at Madam Liu and snapped in a low voice.

Madam Liu was stunned.
Feeling ashamed at her failure, she looked away.

Weren’t her words just making it clear that the new son-in-law didn’t like her sister-in-law? Just married but didn’t want to see her! This was heard by everyone and it was the Hua family who was embarrassed!

Madam Liu’s words were like arrows hitting Hua Xiao Hua’s heart.
Hua Xiao cried ‘wuh’ and ran away violently, covering her face.

“Hua’er! Hua’er!” Old Madam Hua hurried to chase her.

“Auntie Hua, stop!” Lian Fang Zhou shouted fiercely, rushing forward and spreading her arms to stop her.

“What are you trying to do?” Old Madam Hua stared at Lian Fang Zhou’s sharp eyes, and snorted coldly: “Do you want to ruin my family?”

Lian Fang Zhou said sternly: “Did you hear what I just said? I don’t want this kind of thing to happen again! You have to give me an explanation for this matter today! I can’t bear to have this dirty water poured on me.
This is wrong!”

Old Madam Hua snorted, rolled her eyes and said: “Then what do you want? As the saying goes, flies don’t visit an egg with no cracks—”

“You should go back and tell your new son-in-law, you don’t need to tell me!” Lian Fang Zhou ridiculed.

There was more laughter in the crowd.
The meaning of Lian Fang Zhou’s words was perfectly clear.
Someone sneered and said, “Don’t you agree, Aunt Hua? It’s your new son-in-law who is driving people to death, Fang Zhou is really going to die unjustly!”

“That’s right! What they’ve said is clear.
If she wanted to be with your new son-in-law, why did she return the betrothal? If they hadn’t returned it, would you still be able to use it?”

Both parents of the second Lian family had died.
If Lian Fang Zhou had refused to break the betrothal, the Yang family would not have dared attack them because it would have been ‘too bullying and unkind!’ and the Yang family’s backbone would have been poked hard enough to break!

Lian Fang Zhou said: “You are an elder and I dare not let you apologize to me.
Let this sister-in-law give an apology.
Shouldn’t this be how its done?”

Madam Liu immediately shouted: “What! Why am I apologizing?”

Lian Fang Zhou ignored her, still looking at Old Madam Hua, and said coldly: “I can’t suffer this injustice in vain! If Sister Liu doesn’t apologize, I will bring my younger brothers and sisters to the door of your Hua’s house to call for injustice! In any case, we have no father or mother and you have a lot of influence in your family, just kill us siblings!”

She clearly told Old Madam Hua that if Madam Liu didn’t apologize, she wouldn’t care about her life! Unless the Hua family killed them, as long as there was a breath left, they would never stop!

Lian Fang Zhou actually didn’t want to speaking so harshly, but this world was so domineering! They had no parents, and no relatives to help them, in the eyes of outsiders, they were objects that anyone could step on!

Only two days ago, she had invited the village elders to come forward and witness her falling out with the eldest Lian family and Madam Qiao, who had sold her, was severely punished.
Now, there was a new problem.
Clearly everyone viewed them as a weak target for bullying!

 

At least, the Hua family obviously thought so.
Otherwise, they would not dare to make such a big noise.

Lian Fang Zhou needed to take this opportunity to let everyone see that although they had parents, they were definitely were not able to be trampled on and would not be wronged!

Being nice to them when they were in a good mood, beating them when they were unhappy, she would not allow this!

Old Madam Hua stared at Lian Fang Zhou fiercely.
Lian Fang Zhou looked cold and did not give in.
The three Lian siblings also straightened their waists and stood beside her with their faces tense, obviously they had the same mind as her.

Old Madam Hua realized that Lian Fang Zhou was not joking, but she was angry, frustrated, and annoyed.

After all, she did look down on them for being orphans.
Otherwise, if it was anyone else in this situation, just asking her to apologize, she would have to burn a high stick of incense and secretly say that she was lucky and grateful!

Enough! Even though Old Madam Hua was not convinced, she needed to recognize reality.
So what if her heart was conflicted: people who were barefoot were not afraid of wearing shoes and if they did not get an apology, what were they afraid of?

In her eyes, they are naturally wearing shoes, and Lian Fang Zhou and her siblings were barefoot.

Old Madam Hua took a look at Madam Liu and motioned to Madam Liu to apologize.

If Madam Liu took the initiative to apologize, and then Old Madam Hua was blameless.
If she needed to ask Madam Liu to apologize, it would mean she needed to apologize too! This was not the same.

But Madam Liu was also angry in her heart and deliberately pretend not to see her winks.
Why was she pushing the blame back? Good things were never hers, but she was always in the wrong!

Old Madam Hua winked and coughed but Madam Liu continued pretending not to see her.

Someone smiled and said, “Auntie Hua, does your throat feel uncomfortable? You don’t seem to have a good complexion either! The corners of your eyes are twitchy!”

Someone smiled and said, “Is your voice uncomfortable after cursing for so long? No wonder!”

Old Madam Hua’s face was red and white, and she was so embarrassed that she yelled at Madam Liu: “What, are you pretending to be deaf and dumb? Apologize quickly!”

Madam Liu glanced at Old Madam Hua secretly with a bit of resentment.
She didn’t dare to challenge her mother-in-law, so she turned reluctantly towards Lian Fang Zhou.

Lian Fang Zhou suddenly smiled and said: “I have heard that the Hua family is a very well-mannered family, and Auntie Hua is very good at teaching people.
I guess Sister Liu won’t apologize casually, right? I believe the village head can hear it.
He can see Sister Liu’s sincerity!”

Madam Liu was upset, but she couldn’t refute Lian Fang Zhou’s words.
Everyone laughed again, rushing to agree, and bluntly said that Lian Fang Zhou was right! When Madam Liu heard this, her eyes became dizzy and she felt even more depressed.

She had to swallow her anger and bow her waist respectfully to Lian Fang Zhou, saying, “I’m sorry, today, we shouldn’t have come to make trouble without knowing the reason!”

Madam Liu deliberately said loudly “we”, not only including Hua Xiao Hua, but also Old Madam Hua.

 

Old Madam Hua was so angry that she stared at her daughter-in-law and cursed inwardly, her face even worse.

Lian Fang Zhou accepted her apology without being polite to her at all, and said: “Sister knows that this is the case! If someone brings up today’s matter in the future, don’t forget what she said just now! Sister need not be ashamed!”

Old Madam Hua snorted coldly, turned her head away with a sullen face.

Madam Liu’s also angrily raised her head and followed.

“Ok, it’s all over!” Everyone smiled and walked away one after another, leaving in twos and threes.

From this day on, at least no one in Dafang Village would dare to bully these siblings easily, because everyone knew that unless they really had a good reason, they would not be able to take advantage of them!

Old Madam Hua took more than a dozen steps and suddenly stopped, and she turned her head back and stared at Yang Huai Shan, shouting loudly, “Where are you waiting for? Are you not leaving? My dear son-in-law! My dear daughter!”
