Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 466: Madam Yang’s Benefactor

Since then, she had detained Yang Huai Shan at home and never allowed him to go to Dafang village, except to send gift boxes to his in-law’s house.
She also never came to Dafang village again… so Lian Fang Zhou would never affect her Yang family again.

She hated Lian Fang Zhou very much so of course no one would talk about Lian Fang Zhou in front of her ignorantly.
Otherwise, even to her best friend, Madam Yang would immediately turn her face and curse.

Although she occasionally heard a sentences or two talking about how the Lian family in Dafang village was doing well and how she had made a fortune, she would only scoff.
No matter how good someone was or how rich they were, how much could they really make?

She only learned today that Lian Fang Zhou had really made a fortune when she came and saw it with her own two eyes!

Just look at the size of the courtyard! Wasn’t it much better than hers? She had also heard that their old house in the village had been demolished and was being rebuilt.
There was even a lot of land which had been bought….

This was the daughter-in-law that Madam Yang rejected and forced her son to give up.
Now that Lian Fang Zhou was living a good life, didn’t it prove that she had no vision? Wasn’t it hitting her in the face? How could the arrogant Madam Yang stand it?

She thought that Lian Fang Zhou’s life should be more and more difficult until in the end, she couldn’t survive and would be forced to beg her on her knees for the sake of their previous relationship.
Only in this way would it prove that her vision was not wrong and it had been a good idea to withdraw from the marriage.

Madam Yang could see that not only had Lian Fang Zhou’s family become richer but she herself seemed to be getting more and more beautiful as she grew older.
Neither fat nor thin, with a melon-seed face and watery almond eyes.
Her skin was soft and supple with rosy lips and flying eyebrows.
What a radiant look!

Even Madam Yang wanted to slap her own face!

Madam Yang was so furious she could barely speak and didn’t want to talk to Lian Fang Zhou.
She said bluntly: “We’re here to get cotton seeds!”

That’s right, she said ‘get’, not ‘buy’.
Lian Fang Zhou owed her life to her son, shouldn’t she give a few catties of cotton?

If she was someone who knew how to be a human being and reciprocate kindness with gratitude, she should have taken the initiative to deliver cotton seeds to her door long ago but instead she expected her to pick them up in person! She really didn’t understand the rules!

No matter how rich you were, you still had to follow social rules.

Lian Fang Zhou heard her speaking in a very aggressive tone and it was impossible to say that there was no discomfort in her heart.
But she needed to look at Yang Huai Shan’s face, so she let it go and smiled.
“You came just in time.
I’ve already prepared the seeds, I will have someone bring them to you.”

Lian Fang Zhou quickly asked someone to bring the seeds over, which were given according to the Yang family’s land.

“I asked someone to inquire in your village.
You have eight acres in total, so this is about 20 catties.
These seeds are given by me, there is no need to pay money after the autumn harvest.”

Madam Yang snorted, her face tense and stretched in a grimace: “Sent someone to ask? I think you were just reluctant to give them up! Would you have sent them if I hadn’t come? Since you sent someone to ask about my land, why didn’t you send them directly to my home? Hmph, I think you were doing this on purpose!”

Lian Fang Zhou didn’t care about Madam Yang’s words and attitude, she didn’t think there was any need to reason with such a person.

She said honestly: “I was afraid that Aunt Yang’s house would not want them and rushing to your door would make you angry.”

Madam Yang laughed angrily: “It’s clear that you are just reluctant to be generous! Our family is not full of stupid people who don’t want to get rich.”

She would never admit that if Lian Fang Zhou had really sent someone to her house, she would have definitely made things difficult for them.

Lian Fang Zhou smiled good naturedly: “Maybe it’s my fault.”

Seeing that Lian Fang Zhou’s responses were lukewarm, Madam Yang felt even more annoyed.
How could she be so calm and relaxed!

Her life was saved by her son! She owed her life to him!

Madam Yang stared at Lian Fang Zhou, her eyes almost bursting with fire: “Just twenty catties? Are you sending them to a beggar? Your life was saved by my son! Is your life not worth a thousand catties?”

Lian Fang Zhou’s face turned dark.
She had not expected Madam Yang to be so domineering.

Seeing that she did not immediately agree, Madam Yang was even more annoyed but at the same time, she felt inexplicably happy.

Sharply, she said: “Lian Fang Zhou, you are ungrateful!”

But Lian Fang Zhou only glanced at her calmly and said lightly: “It’s not that I refuse to give it but that it was Yang Huai Shan who saved my life, not you.
If you want more cotton, let him come and tell me in person!”

Naturally, Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t promise Madam Yang anything.
If she did, would Old Yang come tomorrow? Would the eldest son of the Yang family come the day after that? And what about the rest of the Yang family? Would she have to agree to all of them?

If it went on like this, she would never have a peaceful life!

If Yang Huai Shan came, she would talk about it with him clearly and give him a sum of money so that they two would not be involved in the future.

Even in modern society, saving someone else’s life deserved a compensation but never had she seen anyone who lost their life for this endlessly!

She would remember this kindness and if he had no choice but to ask her for a favor in the future, she would not refuse coldly.

Madam Yang was furious! She stared at Lian Fang Zhou and shouted: “What did you say? You won’t give it?”

“It’s not that I won’t give it,” Lian Fang Zhou laughed, “I will only give it to the one who saved my life!”

“I am his mother! His mother!” Madam Yang was so angry that she was almost hopping.

“I didn’t say no.” Lian Fang Zhou said firmly.
“But I will only give it to the one who saved me.”

Furious, Madam Yang opened her mouth and started scolding her.

Hearing this, Lian Ze was very angry and scolded in a low voice: “This old lady is really annoying!” He was about to rush out and deal with her but Lian Che stopped him.

His brother grabbed his sleeve and shook his head.
“No, Second Brother.
Anyways, her son saved our sister’s life, if we quarrel with her, won’t others gossip about our sister? Do you want to make her into a joke?”

“Are we just going to watch her be bullied?” Lian Ze asked angrily.
“Hmph, life saving grace? Brother Ah Jian saved the whole village, how come he never puts on airs in front of everyone or asks them for benefits?”

Lian Ze and Lian Che exchanged looks.
Both of them had expressions of wanting to laugh but being forced to hold it in.

These two, it wasn’t that Ah Jian had never bullied their sister, just not like this.

“I can’t listen anymore, that damn woman!” Lian Ze said finally, looking annoyed.
Lian Che thought about it and looked at Lian Fang Qing.

“Qing’er, go bring Xiao Hui!”

Lian Fang Qing’s eyes lit up: “I’ll go now!” Turning around, she darted away.

Relived, Lian Ze smiled at his brother.
Sure enough, he was a scholar! His brain turned very fast!
