Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 505: Blast away the matchmaker

TN: This chapter and the next few chapters will have a ‘on screen’ depiction of sexual assault.
I will place a notice before the scene begins and when it ends for people to avoid, if they want to.
Please be sensitive on this topic and do not post comments that are aggressive or victim blaming.
Thanks guys!

Matchmaker Liu couldn’t hold back and hurriedly smiled: “Sister-in-law, don’t be annoyed, it will hurt your body! Let me tell you, let me tell you, it’s a good match! Isn’t there already a relationship? It proves that our Miss Lian is the best! Let the Yang family eat their words and propose marriage, obviously its because Miss Lian is amazing! Besides, the fourth child of the Yang family is really good!”

Lian Fang Zhou laughed angrily.
Although a matchmaker was not able to say that the dead were alive, their talent in stealing the beam and confusing the roof was unmatched.

This was even more abhorrent than turning black and white upside down!

No wonder people hated them, there was a reason for it.

Raising her eyebrow, Lian Fang Zhou said coldly: “I don’t need this to prove how good I am! How stupid would I have to be to marry into a family with no morals and no respect? Please go back.
Even if he looks better than a fairy, I don’t care.
No matter how good looking he is, can he compare to me?”

Lian Fang Zhou didn’t both speaking with Matchmaker Liu anymore, directly ordering Chun Xing to see her out!

If it was someone else, Matchmaker Liu would have dared to cling for a while but with Lian Fang Zhou, she dared not.

When Lian Fang Zhou spoke, her eyes were cold and them seemed as if she could see right through her, which made Matchmaker Liu feel like she couldn’t hide.
Her heart was filled with chills.

Not daring to pull out her usual tricks, Matchmaker Liu got up with a smile and sighed a few times with symbolic regret, saying things like ‘it’s a pity’.

Lian Fang Zhou didn’t pay her a second glance.

“The Yang family is really bullying people too much!” Third Aunt muttered bitterly, so annoyed that she slapped the table.

Lian Fang Zhou was also very disgusted and said: “Indeed, they are too shameless! Don’t talk about this many more, it’s not worth talking about! Just pretend that it never happened!”

Soon the news spread and everyone laughed at the Yang family for overestimating their capabilities.

No one was surprised that Lian Fang Zhou rejected the marriage without hesitation.

It would be a miracle if she agreed!

In truth, this matter had been arranged by Yang Huai Shu, Yang Huai Wan, and their wives.
Old Man Yanf his wife only found out when the gossip spread from Dafang village to the Yang family village and everyone laughed at them.

This time, not even Old Madam Yang could keep calm! She scolded her useless sons and daughter-in-laws to the brim!

 What she was mostly angry about was that these shameless couples had actually done this in their own name!

How could she turn around and ask Lian Fang Zhou to marry into the family? This wasn’t a matter of Lian Fang Zhou slapping her in the face but her slapping her own face!

Why would she do such a thing to herself?!

It was a pity that no matter how hard Old Madam Yang tried to explain, no one believed her.

After all, it was well known that Old Madam Yang was powerful in her family.
Without her permission, would her two daughter-in-laws have had the courage to do such a thing?

Old Madam Yang’s expression could only get darker and darker until someone said very understandingly: “Sister-in-law, there’s no need to be ashamed of this matter! Miss Lian is not who she used to be.
It’s normal to regret and try to redeem this matter, we aren’t laughing at you!”

As a result, Old Madam Yang, who hadn’t gone out much, now almost never went out.

Old Man Yang was even more angry than her.
Furious with his sons and daughter-in-laws’ failure to live up to his expectations, he took a big stick and beat his two sons across the yard.

When Ah Jian found out, he felt very uncomfortable.
That night, he went to Lian Fang Zhou’s room and promised that they would get married as soon as she was free! No need to deal with these moths! What was the Yang family, how dare they think about it!

Lian Fang Zhou smiled, agreeing.

But Ah Jian was dissatisfied with just this and insisted on her verbally promising.
Forced to say it out loud, Lian Fang Zhou promised awkwardly while her heart thumped ecstatically.
They held each other for a long time and refused to let go.

They didn’t expect that the turmoil from the Yang family would actually disappear without any waves, just like a farce acted out by some clowns.

However, someone was inspired by this incident and almost killed Lian Fang Zhou!

A few days after the matchmaker incident, Lian Fang Zhou turned home from the outside and heard loud talking and laughing in the main hall.
After listening for a moment to the unfamiliar voices, she suddenly heard a disgustingly familiar voice that she never wanted to heard again— Madam Qiao.

Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t help but frown.
Why was she here again? Her cheeks really were thick!

Just then, Bi Tao came out from the room and Lian Fang Zhou motioned her over, pouting: “Why is Madam Qiao here again?”

The grievances between the two families, Third Aunt had already explained to Bi Tao and Chun Xing with great embellishment.
Having heard about it once or two, the two girls didn’t have any good feelings for Madam Qiao.

Bi Tao looked back at the hall with disgust and whispered to Lian Fang Zhou: “This servant doesn’t know! She brought a sister-in-law who seems to be from her maternal family! Madam Niu and two other women from the village came to talk and it’s not easy for Third Madam to drive them out!”

No wonder!

Lian Fang Zhou smiled.
Just as she thought, when did Third Aunt become so good tempered? Even though Madam Qiao was here, instead of rushing out, she even sat and chatted with her!

Lian Fang Zhou was too angry to argue with Madam Qiao so she smiled at Bi Tao and said: “I won’t go in.
Don’t tell them I’m back, I’ll go to my room for a rest.”

Bi Tao hurriedly bowed in response.

Turning back, Lian Fang Zhou quietly went upstairs to her room.

-SKIP-

After entering her room, Lian Fang Zhou sat at the table and poured a cup of tea.
She had just taken a sip when she heard an obvious noise from behind her cabinet.

The abrupt and clear sound was definitely not her imagination.

She froze for a moment and then, thinking it was Ah Jian messing with her, said with a gently smile: “I heard you! Hurry up and come out!”

There was no movement.

Lian Fang Zhou laughed, “If you don’t come out, I’ll come find you!”

At last, the sound of soft footsteps sounded but Lian Fang Zhou had her back to them.
Not turning to look, she said: “How did you get in here? Are you still not speaking?

Ah Jian did not answer.

Then a hand lightly rested on her shoulder.

Lian Fang Zhou’s body went stiff and like a startled doe, she immediately became vigilant.

Because this touch was completely unknown.
Absolutely not Ah Jian!

“Who are you!” Lian Fang Zhou shouted in a low voice, abruptly standing up.

Just as she started to turn, a man’s hand quickly hooked around her neck and strangled her.
The man laughed, saying: “You will know who I am soon! I am your man!”

Furious, Lian Fang Zhou struggled desperately.
Swinging her hand, the teapot and cups smashed on to the ground with a crash!
