Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 315: Zhao San is provoked

Of course, it didn’t matter if you don’t offend the river.
If Zhao San thinks that he belongs to the Zhao family and then tries to make trouble at the Lian family, Lian Fang Zhou would never tolerate it.

Wang Si and Wang Wu said nothing.
In front of Zhao San, who was feeling smug about himself, they really didn’t know what to say! Wang San’s thoughts were even more inexplicable.

Zhao San did not notice.
He only thought that they had listened closely to his words and, smiling triumphantly, he patted Wang Si on the shoulder and glanced at Wang Wu: “Speaking of our brothers, its been a long time since I’ve seen you! Won’t you invite me to sit down in the house? And introduce me to this new brother, who looks very close!”

Wang Si quietly leaned back, freeing himself from Zhao San’s claws.
Taking two steps back, he said lightly: “We are not free.
If you have any question, Brother Zhao, let’s talk about it here.”

“Why be so serious?” Zhao San did not feel embarrassed.
Still smiling, he said: “I see that you all walk around this broken place where not even the birds shit, you can’t even see your own shadow all day! Don’t you feel bored? What’s the point of it? How about I go back and talk to Young Lady Zhao and help you beg for an audience? You could find a good position in the Zhao manor! It’s decent work with a good monthly pay and good conditions! Isn’t that better than here? I don’t think I can bear it for the sake of my brothers! You can only help others while you suffer! After you leave this village, you won’t have to do work like this! AS for Lian Fang Zhou, you don’t have to worry, she still needs to give Young Lady Zhao some face!”

Zhao San’s words made Wang San’s heart even more disgusted and all three of them looked a little ugly at the moment.

Not only was he openly trying to instigate them to betray their master in front of an outsider, he was opening his unscrupulous mouth and calling his former master— who was still a young woman who had not left the boudoir— by her own name, which made them feel very angry.

It was obvious that he had done such shameless and worthless things back then, there was a reason that Miss Lian hadn’t felt sorry for him at all!

This kind of narrow-minded and full-of-tricks villain, Wang Si and the others would only believe if their brains flooded!

Lian Fang Zhou did not treat them badly.
A meal of rice and buns was enough and there was a meal of meat every day during the busy farming season.
Many days, they could each have three to five meals! Master Jian and Second Master would even give them a share of whatever game they hunted back.
In total, their food, clothing, and lodging were all excellent.

Most importantly, they had never been beaten or scolded at all.
Unlike others, who would abuse and bully others when they were upset, none of their superiors had ever beaten them to vent their anger.

Most importantly, Miss Lian and Supervisor Qin Feng had mentioned more than once that, as long as the eleven workers were loyal and willing to work hard, there would be opportunities in the future.
For those with ability, when the family business expanded, they could be promoted, they wouldn’t have to worry about marrying a wife or anything!

What could be greater than this temptation?

Miss Lian had even had Supervisor Qin Feng teach them to recognize two or three characters each night over the last year.
By now, they could recognize two or three hundred characters and could understand three-character classics and thousand-character essays.

Therefore, they were convinced of Miss Lian’s words: If not to get them ready to be promoted, what was the purpose of teaching them to read? They just needed to work!

Of course, Miss Lian had told them that not everyone had the ability to lead, it depended on personal luck.

For example, Li Da was more interested in farming, especially in raising the seedlings.
Apart from Miss Lian and Supervisor Qin Feng, he was the best.
Even Miss Lian said that he could take this ‘specialization’ route in the future.

They didn’t know what a ‘specialization route’ was but they understood that these worker’s treatment would be no worse than a supervisor.

With hope in the future driving Wang Si and the others, how could they be tempted by Zhao San with just a few words?”

“We don’t have the big luck of Brother Zhao.
We are used to staying in this rural area and don’t want to go anywhere! Brother Zhao doesn’t need to mention this!” Wang Si smiled.

Wang Wu also laughed, saying: “Yes, yes, I’m much more at ease in farming.
Hehe, I can’t speak well and I don’t have any other thoughts!”

Wang Si and Wang Wu had worked with Zhao San before.
Despite their contempt, they still spoke a little politely.
Wang San, however, did not.
With his expression dark, he raised his eyebrows to stare at Zhao San and said: “What are you saying? Is it so hateful? After all, you aren’t a servant in this house anymore, why bother to pretend in front of us? Saying this, aren’t you afraid that people will laugh their teeth off? And is our Miss’ name something you can say? Get out of here! Otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite!”

Zhao San was furious, staring at Wang San.
Just as he was about to sneer and retort, he heard a scream of “Ah! Go away! Go away!”

It was Xi Que.

Everyone looked over and saw that Xi Que was screaming as the two big yellow dogs barked at her.

“Miss Xi Que, are you okay?” Taken aback, Zhao San hurried over instead of ridiculing Wang San.

The three workers looked at each other silent, secretly amused, and hurriedly followed.

Zhao San was pestering them to create opportunities for Xi Que, they weren’t fools, wouldn’t they notice this? The reason they didn’t mind Xi Que was precisely because of these dogs!

Seeing Zhao San coming, the frightened Xi Que breathed a sigh of relief.
Her face was pale and white, her grievances causing tears to flow in her eyes.
She was so cowardly and pitiful, no man wouldn’t feel soft when he saw it!

However, Wang San and the others were men but they weren’t soft-hearted.

They heard Zhao San scolding the two dogs: “I’ve never seen such beasts! Get out of here!”

Wang San frowned: “You were abandoned, how could you compare with a beast? Will it understand you if you scold it? If this miss didn’t secretly try to run into the cotton field, they wouldn’t chase you at all.
Miss Lian is someone who cherishes the crops and is most intolerant of them being trampled by outsiders.
It’s better for miss not to be distracted!”

Wang Si and Wang Wu stood blankly on the side, clearly agreeing with Wang San’s words.
The two of them were almost laughing in their hearts.

They had a relationship with Zhao San, so it was inconvenient to say anything but Wang San had no friendship with him!

Xi Que’s face was white and red and she stamped her feet with anger: “What is this?! It’s it so precious, is it your grandmother!? Only those with short eyelids and no knowledge can treat waste as treasure! Zhao San, let’s go!”

Zhao San also grunted.

The three men waited to be sure that they had really left and then walked to the guardhouse.

Wang Wu couldn’t help but smile.
“Hey,” he said, “She’s just a maid, what kind of lady do you think she has? Look at that act, it really makes you want to spit!”

Wang San and Wang Si deeply agreed.

Back in the carriage, Xi Que was furious, she had never been so humiliated as she had been by the Lian family.
She did not know how long it would take for her to calm down.
