Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 530: Teaching

Seeing her ugly expression, Ah Jian said softly: “Calm you anger first.
Fortunately, Ah Ze is fine, so why bother getting mad? It’s not difficult to find out the truth of this matter.
I’m afraid that Boss Feng won’t be willing to talk, otherwise, how could Ah Ze not be the opponent of those old foxes? If we put pressure on him, we may be able to get some answers but even if he doesn’t, we can’t let him complain.
After all they are businessmen.
In the future, we will cross paths and he can make trouble.
If there is an opportunity in the future, we can clean up the people behind him.”

Lian Ze nodded.
“Sister, this time I was careless.
There is really nothing wrong on the surface.
If we really get into a quarrel, people will say we are bullying, so let’s forget it this time.”

Lian Fang Zhou sighed.
Things like drinking and inviting girls to sing were very common at a businessman’s dinner table.
If they really made a big full, it would cause people to gossip behind their backs and impact their reputation.

So she said: “Alright.
Anyways, we still need to find out who is behind them.
This account will be settled together when the opportunity arises.
As for Boss Feng, he’s doing business so we don’t need to talk about personal relationships.
But check his goods carefully.
Once the workshop is finish, don’t cooperate with him in the future.”

After all, Lian Ze left in time and even if they harbored evil intentions, they didn’t have time to bear fruit.
If they immediately took back their business, it wouldn’t look good and they could be accused of bullying and deliberately making things difficult for them over nothing.

Lian Ze nodded: “Sister, don’t worry! I have told Li San and the others to keep an eye on his goods.
When he came to look for me a few days ago, I didn’t see him.”

“Good!” Relieved, Lian Fang Zhou gave him a smile of approval.

Next to her, Ah Jian smiled.
“It was lucky that girl was there, it’s all thanks to her.”

Lian Ze’s body seemed to freeze, his expression wooden and embarrassed.
Ah Jian stared at him in surprise but Lian Fang Zhou, who was still angry, didn’t notice.
She nodded and said: “Yes, her mistake helped you a lot.” Looking at her brother, she frowned: “Why didn’t you thank her properly? Did you make sure to show your gratitude?”

She knew her brother’s temperament very well, which was why she was surprised at how he handled this matter.
As a flower seller, that girl was likely very poor.
Since she helped him, why would he not be generous? After all, their family was not short of money now.

But it seemed that talking about the girl made him shy.

Suddenly Lian Fang Zhou’s expression became a little mischievous.

“Sister! Brother-in-law!” Lian Ze stomped a foot, looking between them with an annoyed look: “What are you thinking?”

Seeing him like this, Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle, turning sideways.
She leaned subconsciously towards Ah Jian, but remembering that there were two big lightbulbs with them, she held back.

Ah Jian had instinctively opened his arms to hug her but when she pulled back, he let them drop regretfully.

“Sister!” Lian Ze protested loudly, even more annoyed.
“Don’t think about it! I was really wronged!”

“It’s all over now,” Ah Jian laughed.
“Your sister didn’t even say anything, why are you in such a hurry?”

“…” Lian Ze suddenly felt that Brother Ah Jian was not as nice to him as before and had learned to be partial.

“Ah Ze.” Swallowing her smile, Lian Fang Zhou said seriously: “Since we are talking about this matter now, I will tell you carefully.
I don’t care what happens in other people’s families, but our family must obey me on this point.”

Her brother straightened his face and nodded.
“Sister, please instruct me.
I will listen to you!”

“No matter how much money we earn,” Lian Fang Zhou said quickly, “no matter how rich we are in the future, you and Che’er need to keep this in mind.
I will not allow you to take concubines—”

“Sister!” Lian Ze cried.
“I won’t!” He hadn’t expected Lian Fang Zhou to say this so bluntly.
Blushing, he covered his face and lowered his eyes in embarrassment.

Seeing his youthful awkwardness flare up, Lian Fang Zhou hid her smile and continued seriously: “Listen to what I have to say first.
Sister didn’t say you would, I’m just reminding you.
The men in our family, don’t even think about concubines.
Don’t think about having a maid to serve you.
It’s fine to hire entertainers for business matters.
Drink, listen to songs, but don’t think about anything else! Your sister doesn’t want to see you have a messy backyard in the future.
There are all kinds of women in the world.
Intrigue, strife, jealousy, even murdering children, making the house restless.
Your sister hopes that you will marry a wife you like in the future and the two of you will respect each other, loving each other forever.
This is the greatest blessing.”

Ah Jian glanced at her.
Though she was talking about Lian Ze and Lian Che’s future households, naturally these were her thoughts on their own backyard! Imagining loving her for a lifetime, he felt it was indeed a great blessing.
Hooked, he smiled slightly.

Lian Ze was very embarrassed by his sister’s words but he listened seriously.
Nodding lightly, he said in a voice like a mosquito: “I will listen to my sister…”

Lian Fang Zhou really wanted to say ‘don’t just listen to me, think about it yourself and understand my painstaking efforts!’ but obviously he was still too young to really understand her.

Forget it! As long as he was willing to listen to her, when he grew up in a few years, he would naturally understand.

She nodded.
“Okay, you will know in the future.
So no matter what little girls or women you come across, if you don’t want to marry them back as a wife, don’t provoke them! You are the eldest son.
Your wife doesn’t need to be a noblewoman but she must be a good woman from a good family.”

Lian Ze didn’t care about these last words, he was too busy jumping at her first words! He jumped up and shouted: “Sister, you’re wronging me! I didn’t provoke anyone! I really didn’t! I, I, I’m only so old, I never thought… I didn’t think… Anyways, I definitely would not provoke anyone!”

Lian Fang Zhou and Ah Jian were stunned.
They knew Lian Ze very well and his entire expression shouted a cover-up!

Startled, Lian Fang Zhou opened her mouth to ask but Ah Jian lightly tapped her with his elbow and shook his head slightly.

With his current appearance, even if they asked, they probably wouldn’t be able to learn anything.
It wasn’t good to pressure him.

Thinking about it, Lian Fang Zhou agreed.
The future was long, what could he possibly be hiding that she wouldn’t find out about?

Changing her words, she smiled and said: “You know what is in your heart, I, your sister, can rest assured.
But remember, getting into such trouble is not a trivial matter.
If the other party is a vicious person, she will definitely hold a grudge.
Entanglements, revenge, if the other party is smart, won’t they harm your life?”

Lian Ze nodded and the conversation ended.
