Master Zhang did not expect Ah Lian to dare to resist him. He pointed at Ah Lian in exasperation and scolded loudly, “You disobedient and unfilial thing. The Liang family has suffered. You should have followed Liang Erlang to protect your reputation, but you were afraid of death and lived shamelessly.”
These words pierced the hearts of Ah Lian and the others like a sharp blade. When they were in trouble and wanted to die, no one came to save them. After being saved from their misery, these scourges came out one by one to ask for money, insult them, and take their lives.
Yang Liu went forward angrily, pointed at his nose, and scolded, “Old man, what were you doing earlier? When we were in a state of misery, why didn’t you come and kill us to protect our reputation? Why didn’t you kill those evil thieves to avenge us? After those evil thieves died, we had just calmed down a little when you ran over. Let me tell you, I don’t want to die now. I want to live well and let you watch helplessly from the side so you can be angered to death.”
“Well said.” Li Yu walked to the front of the crowd and looked at Master Zhang coldly. “No matter who you are, you have no right to let them die. You have no right to judge them and look down on them. They bravely faced the suffering they suffered. They’re much nobler than those sanctimonious hypocrites.”
When Master Zhang saw Li Yu wearing a thin cloth dress and a jade hairpin on her head, he thought that she was just the stewardess of the manor. When he heard that she was backing Ah Lian and the others, he secretly mocked her for being a hypocrite. The corners of his mouth twitched in anger. He shouted in a low voice, “You’re a woman, yet you actually dare to spout nonsense here.
Hurry up and leave.”
Li Yu raised her eyebrows and said, “If the road is unfair, everyone will step on it. So what if I’m a woman? Are you the only one allowed to spout nonsense here, but no one else is allowed to uphold justice? Try moving the people here!”
Old Master Zhou looked at Old Master Zhang and mocked, “I hate such people who talk about moral etiquette but have dirty hearts the most. Hurry up and get lost. Don’t dirty my eyes here.”
Mr. Wen looked at him. “Great Yong didn’t allow the people to use lynchings as early as the founding era. You’re Aunt Ah Lian’s father but you’re not worthy of being a father.”
Madam Su also shouted, “That’s right, get lost. Are you even a father? Even a vicious tiger won’t eat its cubs! It wasn’t easy for your biological daughter to survive. Not only did you not feel heartache, but you even wanted to strangle her to death with white silk. Are you still a human? Pfft!”
Old Master Zhang looked at the person pointing at him with a flushed face. He pointed at Ah Lian fiercely and shouted, “From now on, you’re not the daughter of my Zhang family. I’ll cut ties with you. ” With that, he grabbed the white silk from Zhang Da’s hand and threw it in front of Ah Lian before turning to leave.
The group looked at Ah Lian and didn’t know how to persuade her. Some pain was unforgettable and wouldn’t disappear with time, especially when it came to hurt from family.
Li Yu patted her shoulder. “Some people and things should be left behind. Don’t care about the comments of these people. You have to look forward.”
Ah Lian looked at her and then at the departing Master Zhang. She said firmly, “I’ll live well and not let them have their way.”
“Alright, I believe you can do it.” Li Yu and Mr. Wen turned around and walked toward the manor.
Yang Liu and San Qiao helped Ah Lian back into the house. Hong Mei and Ying Tao lay on the edge of the bed and were relieved to see them enter.
Li Yu returned to the manor for dinner and walked a few rounds with the children before going back to wash up and rest.
The next morning, Mr. Wen and Old Master Zhou brought their dry food and carried their small backpacks up the mountain.
After noon, Uncle Zhou, Little Loach, and the others returned from town with a few craftsmen and more than ten short-term workers. Zhao Cai brought the long-term workers to the upside-down room. After eating, he brought them to the field to busy themselves.
The craftsman followed Uncle Zhou and pulled a few carts of stone slabs to the empty space at the end of the village. He began to build houses to raise livestock not far from the bamboo forest.
When Uncle Zhou returned and saw Li Yu and the twins, he smiled and said, “I thought you should go to the manor. This place is not bad, but it’s a little far from the capital.”
Li Yu smiled and said, “A day’s journey isn’t too far. You’ve been out for two days. Go eat something and rest.”
Uncle Zhou nodded. “I’m not very tired. Little Loach and the others are quite
sensible. They’ll be good after being trained.”
Li Yu looked at Little Loach and the others and smiled. “Did you hear that?
Learn from Uncle Zhou.”
‘Got it, Madam,” Little Loach and the others replied with red faces.
The twins looked at them and went forward to pull them out. “Brother Loach,
Brother Mao Dou, let’s go out and play. Mother won’t bring us out to play.”
Li Yu smiled and patted the two of them. “Let Brother Loach and the others eat first. You’ll play after dinner.”
“Yes! Let’s eat.” Yueyue pulled Little Loach towards the kitchen.
Seeing that the two children had followed Little Loach and the others to the kitchen, Li Yu got up and returned to the house to get a hat. She put it on and walked towards the field.
From the entrance of the manor to the side of Ah Lian and the others’ straw huts to the piece of land under the slope at the village entrance, it was all land bought by Li Yu. The entire piece of land was connected. Li Yu looked at this large piece of land and thought that it would be good if there were seedlings and harvesters in the future.
The field had already been flattened. The Wang, Li, and Lai families were all busy in the field.
Zhao Cai, who was instructing the short-term workers in the field, said to Li Yu, “Madam, the fields will be flat in a few days,”
After Li Yu looked around, she nodded and said, “Once it’s flattened, it can be soaked. I brought along the wild rice sent by Hu Village. I’ll leave an acre for breeding. ”
Zhao Cai looked at it and pointed at the land at the end. “What do you think of using this land?”
Li Yu walked over to take a look and nodded. “We’ll use this land. Also, I plan to take a walk on the mountain tomorrow morning.”
Zhao Cai smiled and said, “You want to hunt! It’s only spring. The wild animals have been hungry for the entire winter. They’re not fat enough.”
Li Yu pointed at the mountain beam opposite and said softly, “I think the people who attacked Ji Xiang in the forest last time and the people who came to the farm at night came too quickly. I want to go to the nearby mountain beam to take a look.”
“Okay.” Zhao Cai thought about it but was worried. “You have to be careful. If anything is really wrong, don’t do it alone.”
Li Yu nodded and turned to walk back. When she reached Ah Lian’s house, she met her. Other than her eyes being a little red and swollen, she was in a good mental state.
Ah Lian smiled and greeted Li Yu. “Madam, come to the field!”
Li Yu smiled. “Yes! It’s about to be soaked. I came to see how the fields are flat. How’s the preparation of your rice seeds?”
Ah Lian pursed her lips. “The rice seeds were chosen last year. In the past, they were changed every two years. If they were planted this year, they should be changed next year.”
Li Yu nodded. “Tell the stewards in the manor in advance how many rice seeds you need next year. When the time comes, we’ll haul them back from the city..”
