Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 475: The Jiang family gets together

Lian Fang Zhou slapped her forehead and laughed: “If you didn’t say anything, I would have forgotten! Ask someone to clean up a room and let them sleep, don’t let them run around.
I will come see them tomorrow morning.
If they are not honest or their mouth is not clear, just gag them.
You don’t have to be polite.”

They had not expected that Liu Gu Zi and Madam Jiang would come over in the morning.
The couple had been well dressed and had even brought two young roosters and a basket of eggs as a gift.
These gifts were specifically shown to others, for fear that they would not be noticed.

All day, when Madam Jiang greeted people, she had a big smile on her face and talked affectionately about her dear ‘nieces and nephews’.
Her tone was so sweet and affectionate, as if she was afraid that the other people would not know how close she was to Lian Fang Zhou and her siblings.

She even tried to take Lian Fang Qing’s hand and pull her beside her but Lian Fang Qing snatched her hand away and ran off.
But this woman didn’t feel embarrassed at all and there was no blush on her face.
Madam Jiang just smiled casually and said: “That child is so playful, never wanting to sit still!”

It had been almost two years since Lian Fang Zhou’s parents had passed away.
Few of the villagers would remember that the couple had been completely absent when the accident had happened and they would not rashly ask about it.

Madam Jiang was very satisfied with this.
Even Madam Qiao was so angry that she almost cracked a tooth.
If Madam Jiang hadn’t noticed her expression and stayed away, something would have happened.

Originally, Lian Fang Zhou and Lian Ze were too busy to say anything on such a special day but halfway through the night, Lian Ze had said angrily: “Sister, how can there be such a disgusting person in the world? I really can’t stand it!”

A light flashed in Lian Fang Zhou’s mind and she said in a low voice: “Can you make that annoying uncle trip?”

Lian Ze was stunned but his eyes quickly lit up and he said with a small smile: “I’ll give it a try!” Saying this, he picked up a small stone and threw it out secretly.
Almost immediately, they heard Liu Gu Zi fall to the ground with a cry.
The two looked at each other and smiled: It was done!

With Liu Gu Zi injured, Lian Fang Zhou naturally ordered her servants to bring them to the compound to rest and of course Madam Jiang must also be taken care of.
Though Madam Jiang tried to refuse, how could Lian Fang Zhou let her go?

When they got to the courtyard, Lian Fang Zhou directly ordered the two of them to be tied up, gagged, and thrown into a spare room, not allowing them to say a single sentence.

It seemed that the words she had said to Madam Jiang before were not taken seriously, they really thought she couldn’t do anything to them!

Picking a day like to today to come to their door, they really knew how to pick their battlefields!

But so what? They still got packed away!

After explaining the matter to Steward Qin, Lian Fang Zhou didn’t think about it anymore and the family went home, full of affection.

This was their first night in their new home and the siblings were very excited.
Everything was fresh and, of course, very happy.

It seemed that all their talking during the day was not enough and their excitement kept them chattering.
After a while, Lian Fang Zhou smiled and said: “The days to come are still long.
It’s getting late, hurry up and go to sleep.
Especially you, Che’er, or are you not going to school tomorrow?”

The rest of them laughed.

Together, they prayed and burned incense for their parents and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Lian Fang Zhou and Third Aunt both lived in the main room but they did not sleep in the main bedroom.
Instead, Lian Fang Zhou lived in the upstairs east wing while Third Aunt and Lian Fang Qing stayed in the downstairs west wing.

Lian Che insisted on living in the study and Lian Fang Zhou had no choice but to allow it.
Lian Ze was afraid his little brother may be scared to sleep on his own, so he decided to live in one of the wings of the study while Ah Jian lived in the other.

After washing up, the family went back to their rooms to rest.

Sitting on her bed, Lian Fang Zhou glanced around her room.
It was spacious and well furnished.
Though it was not luxurious, it was warm and it felt like home.

After living in this world for more than a year, she had finally escaped poverty and could live a life of worry-free food and clothing.
In addition to being satisfied, Lian Fang Zhou also had a sense of accomplishment.

Now the money in hand was enough for the family to live a prosperous life for a few lifetimes.
However, they still had to move forward, she would not allow them to stop and slack off.

Now that they didn’t have to worry about the basic living needs, more things could be arranged.
As long as the people below were talented, it was not a problem to spend more money to hire them.

When she had the time, she could go out and take a look, travel around the mountains and waters, appreciate the beautiful rivers and scenery, see the world, and taste the world’s delicacies.

It was good to have money and spare time!

All in all, the future looked bright! The more Lian Fang Zhou thought about it, the more beautiful her expression came and she couldn’t help but smile happily.

But no matter how happy she was, she was still sleepy.

She yawned and was about to lie down when the unlocked window suddenly squeaked quietly.
Startled, she thought she was careless and quickly got up to close the window.
Suddenly, a flower appeared in front of her and behind it was person, smiling under the dim candle light.
His eyes looked at her as bright as stars.

“Ah Jian, you…” Lian Fang Zhou was stunned for a moment.
Her face turned red and she said with a small smile: “Why are you here?”

Ah Jian laughed: “Of course I came to see you!” He jumped up the last few steps and took her soft hand in his, a smile on his mouth and in his eyes.
Pulling her hand closer, he kissed it gently and said: “Fang Zhou, will I see you every night in the future?”

“…” Lian Fang Zhou’s heart skipped a beat and she almost forgot to breathe.
After a moment, she laughed and said: “What nonsense are you talking about! When did you hear me say this? Why are you walking around so much at night— If people find out, you might not mind, but I will be miserable!”

Ah Jian thought about this and then said very seriously: “This is reasonable, I can’t let people misunderstand you.
Fang Zhou is the best! I can’t let people gossip about you! I will be very careful and come back when they’re all asleep.”

Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t hold herself back anymore and burst out laughing! “You’re getting more and more bold! I can talk with you, it’s just that I don’t have anything to say.”

He smiled.
“You can say anything, good or bad, as long as you like it.”

“Who said I like it?” Her mouth turned up uncontrollably, full of laughter.

Following her lead, Ah Jian obediently nodded: “Okay, you don’t like it! If you say you don’t like it, then you don’t like it.
I know what you mean in your heart.”

“…” Lian Fang Zhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and finally laughed angrily: “It’s getting late, you go back to sleep! I’m too lazy to talk to you!”

Originally, Ah Jian had wanted to stay for a while but thinking about it, it was really late.
He smiled, “You go to bed early, I will go back.
I just thought that it’s not the same as before, I can’t sleep if I don’t see you.
In the future, just go to sleep if you’re tired.
I will take a look and go back after I see you.”

“Still not leaving yet?” Lian Fang Zhou glared at him, the corners of her mouth raised high.

He gently pulled her into his arms and gave her a quick, fierce hug before letting go.
Smiling, he said: “Good night, sleep well!” Pushing the window open, Ah Jian silently jumped down to the ground.

When she looked out the window, there was no one there.
