Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 241: Saved

“Run! Run!” Yang Huai Shan yelled frantically when he saw her.

Lian Fang Zhou could clearly see the anxious pale color of his face came from his heart.

This man really treated her…

Lian Fang Zhou could only feel bitter!

Yang Huai Shan’s sudden arrival startled the wolf at first, but when it recovered, it was provoked!

The pair of cold eyes stared at Yang Huai Shan fiercely before howling towards the sky.
It exposed its dense, white teeth and rushed towards Yang Huai Shan!

Yang Huai Shan was so frightened he instinctively dodged to avoid it.

But neither he or Lian Fang Zhou could have predicted that it was impossible for him to avoid the wolf.

With a gust of blood-scented wind rushing towards his face, Yang Huai Shan closed his eyes.
At this moment, he felt a surprising sense of peace and relief.

“Ah! Help! Help!” From the side, Hua Xiao Hua woke from her daze.
Covering her ears with her hands, she screamed and fell to the ground, legs limp with fear.

After having lunch at her parent’s house, the couple had planned to return to their home but they hadn’t expected… hadn’t expected…

Eyes closed, Yang Huai Shan waited to die.
Just when he thought he was finished, he heard the wolf scream.
Startled, he opened his eyes and found that the creature who had leapt at him, the ferocious wolf, had fallen to the ground with a cold iron arrow bisecting its throat.

Lian Fang Zhou looked at Ah Jian’s eyes, deep and anxious, and felt her heart relax.
She smiled and nodded faintly.

“You bitch! It’s all your fault, you bitch!” Hua Xiao Hua saw that her husband had escaped from danger and after the wave of relief, the anger and resentment rose sharply.
She didn’t know where her energy came from, but she stood abruptly.
She rushed towards Lian Fang Zhou and pushed her to the ground, raising a palm to slap her.

“Stop!”

Hua Xiao Hua’s arm froze, and she turned to meet Ah Jian’s cold eyes.
Her heart shuddered as he pushed her aside, her mouth slightly open.

“Go see your husband first!” Ah Jian didn’t look at her, snorting coldly as he hurried to help Lian Fang Zhou.
He whispered to her: “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine!” Lian Fang Zhou stood up, taking his hand and smiling reluctantly.
“Why are you here? It’s very fortunate you arrived!”

Thank god he had come! Otherwise, Yang Huai Shan would have definitely died.
How would she have been able to face the Yang and Hua family in the future?

“After you left, I suddenly felt uneasy in my heart.
Fortunately I decided to come!” Ah Jian said in a low voice.

“Blood! There’s so much blood! Husband! Husband! Wake up! You wake up!” Hua Xio Hua suddenly screamed, her weeping voice full of resentment and fear.

Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian were started and hurried over.

“You—” Hua Xiao Hua say Lian Fang Zhou and stared at her fiercely.
She was about to scold her when she remembered that Ah Jian was beside her and shut her mouth unwillingly.
Bitterly, she said: “Get out of here! Get out of here!”

Lian Fang Zhou ignored her and looked towards Ah Jian questioningly.

Ah Jian turned his head and said: “He is fine, he only fainted from an injury on his shoulder.
Go back to the village and ask some people to bring him back.”

Lian Fang Zhou nodded with an ‘en’ and turned around to walk back towards the village.

She could hear Hua Xiao Hua’s resentful and sad crying behind her.

Lian Fang Zhou let out a long sigh of relief but still felt the resentment in her own heart hadn’t dissipated.

When Yang Huai Shan had pushed her away, she had been shocked.
She had not expected that his affection for her was still this deep!

Why did he still bother?

Yang Huai Shan was soon carried back to his mother-in-law’s house.
Many people visited and Aunt Zhang accompanied Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian.

Yang Huai Shan’s shoulder was torn by the wolf’s claws, a long cut almost to the bone and a piece of flesh torn off.

Fortunately, it hadn’t damaged anything important.
The doctor from the neighboring village said it would be fine after two months.
Everyone was relieved.

Hua Xio Hua could not stop crying and she looked at Lian Fang Zhou from time to time with indescribable hatred.

Lian Fang Zhou was silent, smiling wryly in her heart.
If she and Hua Xiao Hua became enemies over such a thing, she thought she must also feel sadness and hatred.

After everyone learned what had happened, the Hua family’s eyes fell on Lian Fang Zhou with unwilling tolerance.

The reason for this ‘tolerance’ was because of Ah Jian.
None of them dared to scold Lian Fang Zhou.
Zhang Li Zheng also praised Yang Huai Shan for the first time, saying he ‘deserved to be called a man, worthy of action’.
Many people admired him! The Hua family did not dare say anything.

In addition, Lian Fang Zhou took the initative to compensate for ten silver taels.
After Zhang Li Zheng agreed, the all the wolf meat and skin was given to Yang Huai Shan.
The Hua family could also say nothing to this.

Otherwise, Madam Hua and her daughter would have long been fighting with Lian Fang Zhou!

All in all, everyone was in a good mood.
The last wolf had finally been shot to death.
After removing all of the troubles, there was no need to live in fear or keep watch at the edge of the village each night.

Not long after, the Yang family, who had been informed by the villagers, also arrived.
The couple came with their eldest son and daughter-in-law.

As soon as she entered the yard, Old Madam Yang slapped her thigh and yelled ‘Huai Shan! My son!” She burst into tears, shocking everyone.

Old Madam Yang had already heard everything from the messenger.
She caught sight of Lian Fang Zhou standing in the crowd and angrily pointed at her, cursing.

Before she could finish scolding, Zhang Li Zheng’s expression changed and shouted: “Sister Yang! You should go see your son first! Your son saved someone’s life, he is a courageous and knowledge man! Our Dafang village will never forget his heroism!”

Old Madam Yang didn’t understand Zhang Li Zheng’s words at all.
Zhang Li Zheng stopped her but she was still very upset.
She said to Madam Hua: “In-law! My son is the husband of your eldest daughter! You Hua family is also his family, how can you just watch him be bullied!”

“Okay! You shut up, go see our son first!” Old Man Yang understood Zhang Li Zheng’s words.
If the old lady scolded Lian Fang Zhou again, it would be going against the entire Dafang Village.

However, he was also offput.

Zhang Li Zheng had actually wanted to leave a long time ago, but Ah Jian had quietly asked him to say a few words, so he had stayed.

Seeing that he had already said what he was supposed to and Old Man Yang had clearly understood him, he felt he didn’t need to stay anymore.
He immediately said to everyone: “Let Yang Huai Shan have a good rest, everyone is making too much noise! It’s not good to disturb him.”

Everyone agreed and left one after another.

Old Madam Yang pointed to Lian Fang Zhou and screamed: “She can’t leave! I haven’t settled this account with her yet!” She was caught by Old Man Yang before she finished speaking.

For once, everyone changed their habit of staying to watch the show.
As if they hadn’t heard her, the young wives and aunties left, chatting among themselves.

Old Madam Yang fell down with anger, her chest heaving and her lips trembling so much she couldn’t speak.
