Volume 1: Farmer's Joy 046 Admonition and Consolation, speechless

  Zhou stopped Lian Xia who was about to go out, with a suspicious look on his face, "It's almost dark, where are you going, kiddo's dad?"

  "I'm going to call Third Brother back."

  Zhou Shi's hand, which was holding a basin of water and was about to pour it into the pot, paused for a moment. She smiled at Lian Xia and said, "What's going on? Where did Third Brother go? Why do you need to call him?"

  "Go to San Di Mei's house, Dad let me go call." Lian Xia put the handkerchief on her neck and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Shi, "Wa he Pa, you can't interfere with this matter."

  "Dad is uncomfortable, have to go."

  Zhou's wife looked at her husband's dark face, sighed, and knew that he was a stubborn man who wouldn't listen to reason. She bent down, put the water basin on the ground, pulled him into the house, "Listen to me, you really can't take the lead in this matter." She paused for a moment, then added another sentence, "Besides, even if you went back, your third brother would not return with you."

  "Father is unwell, son is uncomfortable——"

  "Father, he's not physically uncomfortable, but mentally uncomfortable!" Mrs. Zhou cut him off decisively, lowering her voice, "Today, after the division of the family property, what happened did you forget?"

  "How could I forget, Tian'er was taken away."

  Zhou rolled her eyes, "You still know about this? I think it's probably because Father asked Third Brother for help, but Third Brother refused to go and plead on his behalf. So, Father got angry with Third Brother, and Third Brother just took his sister and left -" In fact, in her opinion, it would be better if that mother-daughter pair never came back, then this household could finally have some peace.

  "How can my third brother be like this? Tiantian is also our own sister, it won't do, I have to go find him." Lian Xia's words made Madame Zhou's heart burn with anger, she coldly laughed twice, "Yes, Tiantian is your own sister, you've forgotten that Lian Qing is your own brother, heh heh, a sister separated by one belly is better than a biological brother born from the same womb, hmm, you're not a good brother, if your mother knew, she'd probably give you a round of applause. She's been brought back to life by your anger."

  If it were another man, being scolded by his own wife like this, the first reaction would definitely be to slap her in the face. But Lian Xiaosu was a gentle soul, and hearing these words only made him frown, looking at Zhou Shi with a reproachful gaze, "How can you speak like that? Tian'er and Lian Qing are also members of this family, harmony in the family is everything..."

  "Bullshit! Haven't you noticed that your third brother has recently had enough of those people and doesn't want to tolerate them anymore?"

  "Really? Is that so?"

  The Zhou family's hatred couldn't help but crack open their own man's head to see if it was filled with paste or cotton, and glared at Lian Xia fiercely. She glared back, "If not, why would you want to separate the family? Father used to hate talking about separation the most. In our family, apart from Third Brother, who else can control Father?"

  "And also younger sister, don't you think there have been a lot of changes recently?" Looking at his own wife's eyes, Lian Xia scratched his head and smiled, "Haven't noticed."

  "What can you see?" Zhou sighed, "You and Lian Qing are of the same mother, you should be the closest. Xiang'er is also a younger sister, but compared to Lian Qing, she is inferior. You must have this understanding in your heart, otherwise, how will you let San Di and the mothers under the nine springs look at you as an elder brother?"

  "Ah, I...I'll listen to my wife." Lian Xia's greatest advantage was that he was honest and didn't have any ill intentions. Although he had a soft spot for his daughter, he was also the most willing to listen to advice. As soon as Zhou Shi thought of this, he nodded his head, "I'll listen to my wife, I won't go." But just as he paused, he furrowed his brow again, "But what about Father..."

  "Fool, won't you just go out for a spin and come back saying you can't find Third Brother?" Madame Zhou glared at her husband with a mix of anger and amusement, sighed, "Just say that Third Brother has gone out, he's not home, hmm, might as well say he went to visit old classmates, no fixed return date. This way, even if Father wants you to go again tomorrow, it won't be possible."

  "Hmm, okay then, where should I go for a walk?"

  Zhou couldn't help but wipe his forehead, this foolish county magistrate!

  Lian Xia couple was talking here, but Fu Zhanqiang and his group had already left Sanlitun far away. Because Fu Qiulian couple said they wanted to follow them temporarily, how could they let their beloved younger sister walk back with a big belly?

  In his anxiety, he directly sent someone to find Liu Lizhang, borrowed the only donkey cart in the village from his family, and Fu Zhanqiang personally drove the cart. He didn't trust anyone else!

  Fu Qiu Lian sat in the carriage, stretching out her hand towards Lian Qing with a sweet smile. "Husband, come quickly. You are someone who will do great things, why bother with such trivial matters?" The last sentence was directed at Fu Zhan's previous words about Lian Qing walking or riding a horse, she feared that Lian Qing's bookish nature would make him stubborn and insist on walking or ride a horse in anger.

  Lian Qing smiled slightly at her, stepped up onto the donkey cart, and seemingly unintentionally glanced at Fu Zhan Qiang who was driving the cart in front. He reached out to hold Fu Qiu Lian's hand, smiling warmly, "I'm not at ease leaving you alone here, the road is rough, and the cart is a bit bumpy, let me support you."

  "Thank you, husband." Fu Qiulian's eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile, not stingy with praise for her own man, "You're really great, husband."

  Next to him, a soft hum, raised his head, met Lian Qing's gentle smile, and looked at the hand holding Fu Qiu Lian, someone couldn't help but whip past, that was his sister!

  He's been in pain for over a decade, and has protected his treasure for just as long. You little pretty face, what makes you think you can come and steal from him? If it weren't for the fact that his precious little sister is in the car, he'd teach you a lesson!

  On the donkey cart, Lian Qing's hand held onto Fu Qiu Lian's all along the way, carefully supporting her, afraid that the road would be difficult to walk and the donkey cart would shake and throw off Fu Qiu Lian. The careful and anxious look in his eyes was so painful to see - this little white face, what is he showing off? That's my sister!

  The Fu family lived in Liu Lin Town, only a few miles away from Sanlitun. The donkey cart moved slowly, and Fu Zhangjiang was worried about Fu Qiulian, so the cart slowed down even more. Even so, it took less than 20 minutes to arrive at the Fu residence.

  Not yet at the door, Fu Zhanqiang's loud voice had already shouted, "Dad, dad, my sister is back, my sister has come——" The gate was ajar, and Fu Zhanqiang directly drove the donkey cart into the yard. Until the donkey cart stopped, Fu Qiulian didn't think about carefully examining the entire courtyard of the Fu family. She was interrupted by a surprised voice, "Lian'er, Lian'er is you, Dad's good daughter, you've finally come to see Dad. Ah, good daughter, be careful, don't bump into or knock against Dad's precious grandson."

  It's Old Master Fu, rushing ahead of Fu Zhanqiang to personally help Fu Qiulian down from the carriage. His face is full of smiles, "Your brother really doesn't know what's good for him, not even telling us you were coming in advance. We didn't prepare your favorite dishes at home, but don't worry, my dear, I've prepared your favorite pastries. Eat more later and look how thin you are! This time you're here, stay at home for a while longer, best if you stay until you give birth to the child. Your father will make sure to nourish you well." He chattered on as he led Fu Qiulian towards the house, and as for Lian Qing by his side? Hmm, once again successfully ignored by his father-in-law.

  Lian Qing touched his nose, and glanced at Shang Fuyan's secretly sent gaze, indicating that she should calm down and leave with her father-in-law. Afterwards, he himself sighed and followed behind them.

  But is one's sense of existence really so low?

  Xiucai Lianqing expressed that he was speechless.
