The third aunt saw that A Jian had left, and couldn't help complaining to Lian Fangzhou, saying what if he left and never came back

Lian Fangqing didn't wait for her sister to answer, and rushed to say: "Brother Ah Jian is not such a person! He will definitely come back!"

The third aunt said: "Hey, what's impossible? This is not his home! Then the Zhao family is so beggarly, their wages may be more than ours!"

Lian Fangzhou said lightly: "If he wants to leave like this, can we keep it?"

The third aunt was speechless immediately, she muttered a few words and said: "If this is the case, the charcoal seller will not give him a dime!"

Lian Fangzhou secretly rolled his eyes and didn't speak.

Lian Che said, "It's nothing to us, but Second Brother is still practicing martial arts with Brother Ah Jian!"

Lian Ze hurriedly said: "I'm the same as Qing'er, I believe Brother Jian will definitely come back!" After a pause, he continued: "If he doesn't come back, that's exactly what my sister said..."

Lian Fangzhou smiled at him and said, "If you still want to practice martial arts, that's fine. Let's talk to him and ask him to continue teaching you. I believe he won't refuse."

Lian Ze frowned and said, "If that's the case, I won't learn from him!"

Lian Fangzhou said seriously, "Why?"

Lian Ze was silent.

Lian Fangzhou said: "I know what you mean, it must be that he is not authentic, so he refuses to learn, right?"

Lian Ze was startled, then nodded slightly.

Lian Fangzhou said: "You have to look at people with your heart, not the superficial things. We have seen who Ah Jian is these days. If he wants to stay in Zhao's house, he must have his reasons. We can't just rely on This incident made him right and wrong! Don’t you think so?”

Things in this world are not black and white, Lian Ze has always been too upright, Lian Fangzhou has long wanted to find an opportunity to educate him.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, he explained that it would be easier for A Jian to stay in the county to find out information. Lian Ze was stunned and said, "If that's the case, well, then I really can't blame him!"

"It's good that you understand!" Lian Fangzhou smiled.

After breakfast, the four siblings all went into the mountains. Lian Ze and Lian Fangzhou chopped charcoal, and Lian Fangqing and Lian Che were not idle, helping to carry it. Originally, Lian Fangzhou didn't want them to come, but they insisted on going up the mountain to play, so even Fangzhou had no choice but to let them. Or help or play whatever they want.

Not long after noon, Ah Jian came.

Lian Ze and the three were greatly relieved, and Lian Fangqing even rushed over to hold A Jian's hand and said happily, "Brother A Jian, you are finally back!"

Ah Jian touched her little head and smiled, then glanced at Lian Fangzhou.

Lian Fangzhou subconsciously relaxed, nodded and smiled at him: "Is the matter resolved?"

Ah Jian simply said "um" and said nothing else.

Even Fangzhou didn't ask any more questions, and said with a smile: "That's good, so as not to get involved in trouble after all!"

The charcoal for the second trip was released quickly. With the experience of last time, the timing was more accurate this time. Not only was the charcoal production rate higher, but it also saved a total of two days.

The two families of marmots kept chopping and burning firewood as if storing food. The flat ground next to the charcoal kiln was piled up like a hill.

This trip to the four kilns produced a total of more than five thousand catties of charcoal, which is eleven or two taels of silver, and the family can share five or six taels.

Picking and carrying the dark and shiny charcoal to the house, everyone had smiles on their faces.

Mrs. Zhao laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, she was planning to tear off two good clothes, buy a silver hairpin, and a pair of silver earrings for the New Year...

Just after returning home from the mountain that day, Lian Li and Qiao yelled at the door, "Is anyone there!" and rushed in.

Lian Fangzhou glanced at the clearly prepared posture, and knew in his heart that the couple must be waiting at the door, and came as soon as he got home.

She raised her hand to gather her loose hair, walked forward and said with a smile: "Uncle and Auntie are so busy! Please sit down!"

Lian Fangzhou already guessed why they came here. After all, the burning of charcoal in my family and Aunt Zhang's house was not deliberately hidden from anyone—in fact, there was no way to hide it.

Lian Li snorted and sat down. Qiao Shi gave her a blank look and sat down too.

"Are there any elders in your eyes? We're here, and we don't even have a cup of tea!" Qiao said dissatisfied.

Before the words finished, Lian Che and Lian Fangqing had already brought two cups of tea.

Lian Fangqing pouted and said, "Auntie, it takes time to make tea, right? We didn't expect you to come and prepare early! Why are you so anxious!"

Qiao Shi was immediately annoyed, snorted and remained silent.

Where did she expect that Erfang and these hairy kids would take the initiative to pour tea for them? She couldn't wait to speak, because she wanted to take advantage of their shortcoming and teach them a lesson, so that she would be more confident in what she said next.

Unexpectedly, it fell short.

"You're the only one who has a lot of things to do!" Lian Li obviously realized this too. He gave Qiao Shi a hard look, and said kindly to Lian Fangzhou, "Your eldest aunt is outspoken, so don't talk to her!"

Lian Fangzhou laughed, glanced at Mrs. Qiao, and let out a leisurely "Oh".

Qiao Shi was so angry that she gave her a blank look.

Lian Li picked up his teacup and drank it carelessly. He was waiting for Lian Fangzhou to speak, and for Lian Fangzhou to ask what they were here for, and then he could follow the trend.

But Lian Fangzhou's eyelids were slightly drooping, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't intend to speak at all.

The three Lianze brothers and sisters and Ah Jian left early, and the third aunt also stayed in the kitchen.

Sitting is not a problem, so he couldn't stand it, so he coughed lightly and said, "Fangzhou, I heard that you and the Li family partnered to burn charcoal?"

Lian Fangzhou raised his head, nodded to Lianli and said "yes", and then said nothing.

Lian Li couldn't help being a little angry, and said unhappily: "The Li family didn't know how to burn charcoal before, where did they learn it?"

"I don't know about that either!" Lian Fangzhou laughed. There is no adult in the family, and Ah Jian is an outsider, so she is untenable. She always said that Uncle Li learned how to burn charcoal from other places, and by the way, she asked Lian's siblings to help share some of the benefits. Of course, the amount of money they received from the outside world was naturally not much.

Aunt Zhang's family often helped Lian Fangzhou and the others, and it was not unusual to do so this time.

Seeing that Lian Li had touched two soft nails in a row, Mrs. Qiao felt even more unhappy, so she hummed: "How much wages does the Li family pay you? I said their family is too much, coaxing you to help them work! You Brothers and sisters are so stupid and exhausted, I'm afraid they can't even earn a fraction of others! This is bullying you when you are young and don't take us seriously as uncles and aunts!"

It was as if he wanted to stand up for them and go to Li's house to make a scene.
