Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 144: Making trouble (4)

When the crowd saw this, some tried to persuade her while others tried to persuade Lian Fang Zhou.

Most of the crowd focused on her.

“Isn’t it just thirty acres? Fang Zhou, you bought thousands already, its not much of a difference.
Since they are reluctant to part with the ancestral property, just give it back!”

“That’s right! Otherwise, it won’t look decent to be so stubborn!”

“She’s just an old woman, why not let it go…”

Seeing that most of the people were on her side, Old Madam Yang suddenly become more energetic, crying louder and louder until Hua Xiao Hua almost couldn’t help her.

Lian Fang Zhou sighed softly and said, “Old Madam Yang, didn’t I tell you? You can’t come to me about this, you need to talk to the land steward! Even if I wanted to refuse, I’d have to go through the local legal authority.
Land trades must be done with the land steward.
This is something that everyone knows, right? It’s important to be respectful!”

“That’s true too!”

Everyone nodded again.

Old Madam Yang sneered and said, “I heard that! You agreed to withdraw, right?”

Old Madam Yang couldn’t be fooled, so she hurriedly asked.

“Yes! As long as you go through the land steward, what should be done will be done!” Lian Fang Zhou nodded without hesitation but sneered in her heart, I’m afraid you won’t be able to win just by that!

“Okay!” Old Madam Yang sneered: “I will find the land steward tomorrow! I don’t care how long this matter takes!”

“I’m waiting! Please go back!” Lian Fang Zhou nodded, calmly.

What Old Madam Yang dismissed the most was Lian Fang Zhou’s faint and calm look.
She wanted to say that she hadn’t looked down upon Lian Fang Zhou when she saw her cowering and dodge timidity, but when she compared between the two, she still felt that Lian Fang Zhou from the past was more pleasing to the eye!

Now, just looking at her like this, she couldn’t help but grab her heart!

“Bah!” Old Madam Yang couldn’t get angry, spit on the ground, sneered and left.

Lian Fang Zhou glanced at everyone helplessly and sighed softly.

“These Yang family member!”

“Hey, really!”

Everyone couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Lian Fang Zhou, shaking their heads with a sigh.

When Old Madam Yang heard this, her forehead was dizzy, and she almost tripped over the threshold.

She endured and tolerated, and then she glared at Lian Fang Zhou without turning her head.

Old Madam Yang kept her face sullen, and walked like she had the wind at her feet, leaving Dafang Village without looking back.

Hua Xiao Hua originally wanted to visit her maternal family to sit and drink tea, but she didn’t dare to say anything when she saw this, and followed closely behind her.

“What do you mean by your mother and father!” After leaving Dafang Village, Old Madam Yang stopped abruptly, turned her head and stared at Hua Xiao Hua and said, “No one is there! Even your mother, your sister-in-law, couldn’t help.
To say a word, to be strong, but none of them came!”

Hua Xiao Hua couldn’t help but feel wronged, and hurriedly laughed and said: “Mother, my sister-in-law may not know…”

“Not know!” Old Madam Yang sneered: “Most of the people in the village ran to watch the excitement, how would they not know! You think I am stupid! What are you doing!”

Hua Xiao Hua’s eyes were red and she hung her head silently.

“Oh, I can’t talk to you anymore? Ready to just hid your face after I say a few words? Why? Do you not want me to accompany you?” Old Madam Yang said when she saw Hua Xiao Hua go silent, and said in a strange way.

“Daughter-in-law doesn’t date, mother! I, I didn’t mean that.” Hua Xiao Hua was taken aback, and hurriedly raised her head and looked at Old Madam Yang with a smile.

Old Madam Yang didn’t buy it, she stared at her coldly and said, “Why are you staring at me? It’s not enough to show me your face, you dare stare at me and talk back?”

Hua Xiao Hua moved her lips, holding back the tears in her eyes, unable to say a word.

She hung her head and shook it before raised her face again.
How was this bad? It wasn’t until today that she really knew how hard it was to serve a mother-in-law and her’s was especially trying to make things uncomfortable and difficult for her.

“Hmph!” Old Madam Yang sneered: “You throw a tantrum and then pretend to be dumb? You really know how to kill without a knife.
Today you let an old woman confront them while you stood on the sidelines!”

Thinking back, the more she thought about it the angrier she became.
She scolded: “Are you still in my heart? I think you are nothing! If you really loved your husband and respected your in-laws, you wouldn’t act like this! I won’t slap my son’s face in front of outsiders.
You’re really an unlucky star, ever since we brought you in, everything has gone wrong with our Yang family!”

When Hua Xiao Hua was at home, she was loved by her parents and her elder siblings were courteous.
Where had she ever suffer such grievances? She finally couldn’t help but burst into tears while covering her face, whimpering.
She turned hr head and ran towards her mother’s house.

“You stop for me!” Old Madam Yang screamed and said coldly: “If you go, don’t come back! Don’t enter our Yang family’s door again!”

Hua Xiao Hua froze and didn’t dare to move anymore.

She knew her mother-in-law’s temper, she would definitely do it!

She had always felt that the Yang family was rich and their son promising.
So many people had been willing to marry into the family, but her mother-in-law didn’t care about herself at all!

If you were divorced by your in-laws within a month of getting married, how could you have the face to see anyone in the future?

“If you don’t get out of here, see if I don’t divorce you!” Mother Yang snorted again when she saw her standing still.
Old Madam Yang was not afraid of anything but her own old husband.

For ordinary, trivial matters, the old man rarely fought with her and let her do as she wished.
For big matters, however, the old man would not let her do as she pleased.
For example, daughter-in-law Hua was a big deal.

Hua Xiao Hua took a deep breath and turned around slowly.

Lady Yang sneered, gave her a fierce look, and walked away like flying.

Hua Xiao Hua stood there in a daze and then hurriedly speeded up to follow.

The next day, Old Madam Yang had to force Old Man Yang to go into the city with her to find the land steward Liu Jia and get back the 30 acres of land.

Old man Yang was originally unwilling.
The 30 acres of land sold for eighty taels of silver.
In his opinion, it was very cost-effective.
There was not many ways to make money in this village but Old Madam Yang was determined not to listen to persuasion on this matter.
He had no way, so he had to agree.

Originally, Old Man Yang planned to go to the city alone to find Liu Jia, but Old Madam Yang was afraid that he would not try his best to fool her, so she had to go and Old Man Yang had to follow her.

The couple had been arguing at home for a long time before they went on the road.
They drove a slow ox cart again.
When they arrived in the city, Lian Fang Zhou, Lian Ze, and Ah Jian had already rush over and back again.

Old man Yang originally planned to buy two catties of dim sum and bring them with them, but Old Madam Yang disagreed, saying that Liu Jia was a local official and was very upright and proper.
Why should they bring him something?

Old man Yang couldn’t convince her, so he had to give up.

After inquiring about Liu Jia’s residence, the couple came to the door.
Liu Jia had already learned the cause of the incident from Lian Fang Zhou and was well prepared.
He waited for them with a natural calmness.

Liu Jia greeted them with a smile and the old man Yang greeted him politely, then, without a few words, he went straight to business.
