Although Lian Fang Zhou’s words were actually quite reasonable and not at all wrong, this is what Madam Gu thought.

In her opinion, anyone who wanted to reason with her was unreasonable!

Lian Fang Zhou glanced at her in contempt and said coldly: “Do you know what annoyed me the most? My parents passed away, the last thing you should have done was talk about them!”

Saying this, she turned to Wang Da and said: “Bring someone to throw her out! If she dares make trouble again, throw her out again!”

Wang Da nodded but didn’t have time to open his mouth before Madam Gu suddenly kneeled in front of Lian Fang Zhou with a thump and in front of the entire crowd, kowtowed and shouted loudly: “Miss Lian, Miss Lian! I kowtow to you, please sell me the cotton seeds! Please! I’ll kowtow to you! I’ll bow to you!”

Her voice was deliberately sharp and nasty, with an unspeakable tone of anger.
Rather than an apology, it was more a method to deliberately disgust them.

Everyone was stunned and even Lian Fang Zhou was speechless.

Compared the woman in front of her, Madam Qiao was not skilled at all! She should really be thankful that Madam Qiao was not so capable!

Finally, some people couldn’t stand it anymore and three or four middle-aged women stepped forward to help Madam Gu up, persuading her with words like: “If you have something to say” and “Miss Lian is a reasonable person!”

Lian Fang Zhou ducked to the side and politely said to the women helping Madam Gu: “Since they don’t appreciate it, Aunts and Uncles should forget it.
Why bother, thank you!”

The women looked at each other helplessly and let go, backing away and smiling embarrassedly at Lian Fang Zhou.

Lian Fang Zhou gave them a grateful and comforting smile.

Madam Gu was stunned again.
How could anyone be persuaded to give up the fight halfway? This was simply—

Madam Gu was furious and changed from kneeling to sitting on the ground.
She slapped her thighs hard and shook her head, crying loudly.
Alternating between scolding, crying, and beating, it was as if she had suffered a great grievance!

Where would Lian Fang Zhou be patient enough to let her play? She looked at Wang Da: “What are you waiting for? Invite her out and close the door!”

Everyone, including Wang Da and Madam Gu froze in surprise.
None of them had thought Lian Fang Zhou would be so tough!

They couldn’t help but feel two or three more points of fear and respect for her.

In the past, although they admired and praised her, there wasn’t any fear, let alone respect.

Wang Da hurried to agree and Wang Si and Wang Wu unceremoniously pulled Madam Gu, who was scolding and kicking like crazy, and closed the big iron door with a ‘bang’!

Anyways, the compound was spacious and the distribution of seeds would not be affected.

“Everyone, let’s continue!” Lian Fang Zhou smiled.
Her expression was calm and unaffected.

The awe in everyone’s hearts couldn’t help but add another point.
Laughing, they quickly went to line up again.

Many people sighed in their hearts.
It was no wonder that the Lian family was so prosperous! They weren’t, they weren’t the same as before.
From now on, they couldn’t treat the Lian family the same way as before…

To say that Madam Gu was a strange person was true.
She wouldn’t give up even after this and was beating the iron door outside.
She screamed and cursed as the iron creaked and didn’t leave.

The crowd looked at each other in dismay.
Some of them understood and shook their heads, sighing.
This woman was really stupid! It would be strange for Lian Fang Zhou to give in to her.
The more she made trouble, the more shameful she would be!

Sure enough, Lian Fang Zhou only said three words lightly: “Release the dogs.”

There was a short scream and the world finally became quiet.

Lian Fang Zhou looked at the crowd and said: “It’s not that I am too much but face is given in turns.
She didn’t give me face, why should I give it to her? She ran around and said so many ugly things but I didn’t respond.
She wanted to scold me, if I really let her take advantage for nothing, I really would be a fool!”

She sighed.
“We are all from the same village.
I won’t stand by idly when I can help someone but who would help someone who dares to run up to the door? If she wants benefits, I will never tolerate it! If she makes ugly, false accusations, I must ask my uncles and aunts to speak up for me!”

Everyone knew that they would need to rely on Lian Fang Zhou in the future and knew that she was indeed this kind of person.
Generous and big-hearted, it was Madam Gu’s fault in the first place.
Also, Madam Gu was not very popular and her behavior now had really shocked everyone, so why would they refuse?

They generously agreed, nodding their heads.

In order to please her, some people even said some bad things about Madam Gu.

Embarrassed, Madam Gu angrily went home and furiously scolded her husband.

She refused to apologize to Lian Fang Zhou, no mater what.
Her own daughter-in-law was very anxious and secretly went to Lian Fang Zhou in private to say a lot of good things and apologize for her mother-in-law.

Lian Fang Zhou did not accept her apology but said that though she would not sell the cotton seeds to their family, if there was other things in the future, she could still take care of them.

Madam Gu’s daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was good if she did come help their family in the future.
After all, Lian Fang Zhou’s family was very wealthy.

She hurriedly said that she would persuade her mother-in-law and never follow her to make trouble, expressing her own difficulties.

Lian Fang Zhou told her she understood and Madam Gu’s daughter-in-law left.

In the end, Lian Fang Zhou did not sell cotton seeds to Madam Gu.

Madam Gu was so angry that her curses and sour words behind Lian Fang Zhou’s back became heavier and heavier, saying all kinds of ugly words with no substance.
However, she couldn’t find any other like minded people anymore.

Every time she opened her mouth to say something and lift her tail, the people who were talking to her would immediately find an excuse to leave.
They weren’t even willing to listen to her, let alone stay and echo her feelings.

Gradually, everyone avoided her when they saw her coming from a distance.

Even Madam Qiao.

Madam Gu would have thought that no matter how the others were, Madam Qiao hated Lian Fang Zhou and had no scruples.
But Madam Qiao had been warned by her son and husband, how could she dare?

This made Madam Gu, who had thought she at least had one ally, not only disappointed but also angry and she mocked Madam Qiao to her face.

Everyone knew that Lian Fang Zhou’s behavior had already pushed Madam Qiao to the breaking point.
Madam Gu’s cruel words pierced straight to her heart and she was so angry that she almost got into a fight with the other woman, becoming deadly enemies with Madam Gu!

Madam Gu could only curse at home.
But when she started scolding, her son and daughter-in-law would go out and avoid her.
Only her husband would sit beside her with a bitter face and beg her to stop cursing.
As a result, Madam Gu scolded him instead.

At first, Madam Gu did not realize that her son and daughter-in-law were deliberately avoiding her but she quickly caught on.
She was so mad! Could it be that outsiders had more control over her son and daughter-in-law than her?

She wanted to force them to stay and listen to her and said several ugly things to her daughter-in-law, accusing her of persuading her son not to listen to his mother.
Her daughter-in-law was so wronged, she cried.

Her son couldn’t bear it any longer and scolded his mother.
Madam Gu saw that her normally calm son was actually angry and was a little scared.
Only then did she stop.

However, by now, her reputation was even worse.
