TN: I have a bit of free time at the moment so I will try to get a chapter out a day. After the 23rd and my classes start again, it will probably drop to once or twice a week. Please let me know if you notice any issues with names or terminology!

Uncle Zhang hummed: “Are you finished making trouble? Stop stirring up problems, just continue living normally! Never before has such a vicious and cruel thing happened in Dafang Village! Live your own life, don’t eat what you don’t own, don’t wear what you don’t have. Your nieces and nephews can sell what they want, what can you do? If another family’s child hits you in front of your door, will you also capture and sell them? If this spreads out to other villages, what will other villages think of our village!”

Madam Qiao lowered her head and did not dare to speak.

Lian Li quickly laughed and said: “This woman is just a fool. Elder uncles and brother Li Zheng, don’t pay attention to her! We will do as you say on this matter! Later, when we go back, I will be sure to give you some good things!”

Uncle Zhang snorted and exchanged glances, looking somewhat satisfied. He said coldly: “Didn’t you say everything at the beginning? Madam Qiao will kneel in the ancestral hall for one day and one night of introspection. She must also promise not to commit any crimes in the future! From now on, you couple should take more care of Ah Fang Zhou and her younger siblings!”

“Okay, okay! We will do it, we will do it all!” Lian Li quickly nodded and agreed with a smile.

“Uncles! Uncle Li Zheng!” Lian Fang Zhou knelt down towards Zhang Li Zheng and the others, solemnly saying: “This matter is nothing. As for uncle and aunt’s care, I appreciate uncles and Uncle Li Zheng’s kindness, but I would never dare to accept it!”

“Fang Zhou, what are you doing?!” Lian Li hurriedly said: “Get up quickly! Don’t worry, your uncle will take good care of you in the future and treat you well! You will never be wronged!”

When Madam Qiao heard his, she couldn’t help but raise her head and glare at him but she did not dare object.

She did not know about Lian Li’s little abacus. Lian Li had not been idle, thinking about it the entire time. Taking care of Lian Fan Zhou and the others was actually not bad! In this way, he could take care of her family fields in his own name! There was also the matter of the charcoal burning with the Li family…

Anyways, in the future, as long as you can live a good life with face, as long as you did everything well and didn’t leave any handles for people to grab on to, who could stop you?

Everyone has their own life to live, no one is staring at their family principles! Besides, who would know how they lived behind closed doors?

Would Fang Zhou even to go to Zhang Li Zheng to sue the village elders in two or three days? Afraid that she would be too busy to say anything, people will get impatient from waiting!

But he did not expect Lian Fang Zhou would refuse!

“It’s alright, Fang Zhou, don’t worry, we are watching! I believe that after today’s events, they have learned their lesson! They won’t dare to do anything out of the ordinary! Since there is no elder in your family, it is unfortunate. This is good!” Zhang Li Zheng and the others said.

“Uncles and Uncle Li Zheng are kind but we really want to live by ourselves!”

As Lian Fang Zhou spoke, Lian Ze knelt beside her and said: “As my sister said! Big Uncle and big Aunt are busy providing for our cousin to study. My sister and I are not too young, we can work on our own and support our younger brother and sister! We won’t burden our big uncle and aunt!”

“Yes! Not only that, Fang Zhou has a shameless request to ask these few uncles and Uncle Li Zheng to make a final decision. Today, let’s make it clear! From now on, we will be in charge of the second household and have nothing to do with Uncle! Even if we have no food to eat or starve to death, we are willing!”

When Lian Fang Zhou spoke, she did not forget to glance at Madam Qiao with just the right expression of helplessness and stubbornness.

In fact, even if Fang Zhou had not glanced at Madam Qiao, when Madam Qiao heard Lian Li promise to take care of Lian Fang Zhou’s siblings, the village elders and Li Zheng had all seen her face.

Listening to Lian Fang Zhou’s words and comparing them to Madam Qiao’s complaints, blaming Lian Fang Zhou for not letting her pick vegetables from their garden, claiming that Lian Fang Zhou had a crooked heart to frame her despite her niece voluntarily sending her charcoal…

In addition, who had not heard of the couple moving almost all of the food into their attic under the guise of helping with the autumn harvest. Madam Qiao had even wanted the Yang family’s silver, cursing them when she did not get it!

The village elders and Li Zheng couldn’t help but sigh secretly. This person was too hard to serve! It was no wonder that Lian Fang Zhou and Lian Ze wanted to stay away from her!

Thinking on this, letting this couple take care of them, they were afraid that the siblings might be furious in the future!

“Fang Zhou, Ah Ze! Why don’t you believe your uncle? How sad it is for your uncle to hear these things!” Lian Li sounded heartbroken.

The brother and sister looked at each other and Lian Ze said: “Uncle, what we say is from our hearts! We have the ability to live our lives on our own and we really don’t need help from our uncle!”

Lian Fang Zhou followed and said again: “For the sake of my uncle and aunt, I have nothing else to say about today’s matter! No one will be about to talk about this in the future, saying that you don’t take care of us. Uncle, rest assured that it will never affect the reputation of uncle’s family!”

Before Lian Li could reply, Madam Qiao cried, “You said it yourself, you can’t deny it in front of so many people!”

“Absolutely will not deny!” Lian Fang Zhou and Lian Ze quickly agreed.

Lian Fang Zhou added another sentence: “No matter who wants to deny it, the village uncles and Uncle Li Zheng are watching!”

“Since sister Fang Zhou said so and even Madam Qiao agreed, then let’s do this! Brother Lian Li, don’t insist on it! I think Fang Zhou and Ah Ze are not too young and indeed, can take care of their own lives! Your wife means that, because of this, the house will be disturbed and the family unhappy, which is not good! Don’t you agree?” Zhang Li Zheng said.

The village elders also nodded.

Lian Li’s face was a bit ugly, but after thinking about it, he reluctantly nodded and sighed: “If this is the case, then I won’t say anything! Alas! These children, the uncle is ashamed!”

Lian Li sighed, heartbroken, but only said that he was ashamed, and did not say anything else. Thinking about it, he didn’t really want to take care of Lian Fang Zhou’s brothers and sisters, but he was willing to take advantage of it under a guise. Now that the advantage was lost, he certainly wouldn’t say anything generous for others to grasp.

“Uncle, you don’t need to be like this!” Lian Fang Zhou was very polite, and hesitated: “However, if someone uses this to corrupt the reputation of uncle and aunt, there is no real evidence—”

“Then establish the evidence! It will be written clearly in black and white. From now on, the two households are irrelevant. I guarantee that I will not even go to your door!” Madam Qiao immediately interrupted Lian Fang Zhou.
