Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

I was just happy after hearing this, I couldn’t stop thinking about it! Where are you getting all this nonsense?”

“Oh, that’s good news!” Third Aunt said, immediately throwing aside her peachy gossip to the clouds.
Her eyes were bright with happiness.

As the cotton harvesting approached, Third Aunt often went to look at the fields out of curiosity.
No matter how she looked at it, though, she couldn’t figure out how something like this could grow into something useful, so she had been very worried for Lian Fang Zhou.

Listening to her worries, Lian Fang Zhou had been too lazy to respond.
Anyways, when the final result came out, there wouldn’t be any need to explain it!

Hearing the news about the Su family’s promise, Third Aunt was naturally very happy.

“Of course, it’s good news!” Lian Fang Zhou agreed, relieved and amused.
“However, don’t tell anyone about this.”

“I know, I know,” Third Aunt waved her hand, “how could I tell anyone about this matter?” Mumbling happily to herself, she turned away.
The stone on her heart had finally fallen to the ground.

Such a big and important good thing, no wonder this girl was so happy!

Third Aunt was satisfied and Lian Fang Zhou let out a sigh of relief.

It was just a pity that this sigh was a bit early.

While they were eating dinner, Ah Jian’s eyes kept drifting towards Lian Fang Zhou subconsciously and the look in his eyes, it wouldn’t fool a ghost!

Annoyed, Lian Fang Zhou waited until the others weren’t paying attention and suddenly raised her eyes to glare at him.
Ah Jian froze.
Recovering quickly, he smiled apologetically and withdrew his gaze.

However, he hadn’t expected that this exchange would be noticed by Lian Fang Qing.
The little girl blinked, looked at her sister in confusion, and then back at Brother Ah Jian.
She tilted her head to think for a moment but still didn’t understand.

She had always been a very curious child and would never let something pass unanswered.

Thinking about it, she felt it was unreasonable to ask her sister so she quietly leaned close to Ah Jian and asked: “Brother Ah Jian, why did you make my sister unhappy?”

Lian Fang Zhou almost choked on a mouthful of rice.

Third Aunt, Lian Ze, and Lian Che also stopped their chopsticks to stare at Ah Jian with several different expressions.

No way! Who said little girls were quiet? Her voice was actually not quiet at all!

Ah Jian smiled bitterly.
His first instinct had been to look to Lian Fang Zhou but fortunately he had stopped himself in time.
In fact, he had been very careful not to be noticed when he looked at her.
In the end, she was the one who had dropped the rock on her own foot! However, she couldn’t be blamed for this.
A family’s daughter would naturally be shy about these kinds of things, no matter how practical and strong-minded they were…

In the same way, even a man who was taciturn and calm would be shy in front of the woman he liked!

Seeing everyone’s eyes on her, Lian Fang Qing couldn’t help but shrink back.
She hurried to explain: “I, I just saw Sister glaring at Brother Ah Jian, so I asked… Sister, don’t blame Brother Ah Jian for anything! Don’t be angry with him, Brother Ah Jian is the best!”

She thought about it for a moment and the quickly added: “My sister is also very good!”

Lian Fang Zhou had the urge to vomit blood.
Holding it in, she carefully did not glare at Ah Jian again.

On the other side, Ah Jian was smiling very naturally and looked relaxed.
To Lian Fang Qing, he said: “You’ve misunderstood, little girl! Why would your sister glare at me? She just has something she wants to talk to me about, that’s why she was looking at me.”
