Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 13

14.You want a man?

Lian Fang Zhou smiled and called out "Aunt!" She did not continue her other conversation.

Mrs Qiao could not help but glance at the rise of that neatly built roof, her heart became even more jealous. She laughed saying: "I say, Fang Zhou ah, we have to repair the roof of our house; on your way to buy more tiles, let us borrow them to use first. Wait until your uncle is free, and then go to buy them and we will return them back to you!"

"You want to borrow our tiles?" Lian Fang Zhou asked.

Mrs Qiao saw that her att.i.tude was very good and did not get angry at all, she was secretly pleased inside.  She nodded and said, "Yes, of course, it is to borrow, later on, we will definitely return them to you!"

"Oh, how much do you want?" Lian Fang Zhou asked again.

This time Mrs Qiao was so happy that flowers bloomed in her heart, she quickly calculated mentally in her head, and hurriedly laughed saying: "Oh, not too much, ah, eight hundred or nine hundred is enough. Oh, no, maybe more than a thousand pieces."

In her heart she was secretly proud that she could speak so well, saying "more" than a thousand. As if more or less depended on the situation. If she could get more then get more, what the roof doesn't need, she can use to cover the pig pen, cattle stalls and more, ah ...

Lian Fang Zhou then lightly sighed, full of regret she said, "but Aunt, this is really unfortunate, yesterday the roof of our house had been repaired. The tiles are almost all used up; ah, we were only left with a few sets of ten tiles, if you do not mind, then take it. Otherwise, you will need to wait until the next time we buy, you should come early ah!"

Mrs Qiao was suddenly stunned; she looked around the yard, and sure enough, the ground was clean. Besides those few sets of ten tiles, was there more?

She could not help but get furious, glaring at Lian Fang Zhou she said, "dead brat, you are messing with me!"

"Aunt, I'm being accused wrongly, ah!" Lian Fang Zhou laughed and said: "You asked and I answered. How did it become me fooling you?" Suddenly her face darkened, with eyes like ice she stared at Mrs Qiao, coldly saying, "Your house was newly built last year, but you ran up to me asking for thousands of tiles, I think you are the one messing with me?"

Mrs Qiao was suddenly dumbfounded, snorting she said, "What 'want'? It is borrow! Just borrowing! If you aren't willing to give them, you say so much nonsense!"

"Ohhh -" Lian Fang Zhou dragged the 'oh' sounding full of ridicule. "So it was 'borrow' ah, I don't know if borrow and want have any distinction in Aunt's eyes, personally I think there's none!"

Mrs Qiao was angered until she wanted to collapse, her nose almost breathed out smoke. Since she born from her mother's womb, she had never been this angry!

Especially in the past, it was just her bullying the Second Branch; now she was bullied by a family that was left with a nest of small b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, this imbalance was terrible. So today's share of anger was more intense.

"You should be proud then!" Mrs Qiao sneered, "having dissolved your engagement sure is good, what is there to be proud of! I believe, in this lifetime you shouldn't even think of being able to marry off!"

"Aunt, please leave!" Lian Ze furiously rushed up.

"Ah Ze," Lian Fang Zhou held him. Towards Mrs Qiao she faintly smiled and said: "The things you said, I do not care! I marrying off or not is not for you to have a say in! Isn't it just finding a man? Really easy! In this world, two-legged toads aren't easy to find, but two-legged men there are plentiful of!"
