TN: I noticed this hadn’t been updated in a while and I asked the most recent translator if they minded but didn’t get a response.
I thought I’d take a whack at it until they ask for it back, haha.
As before, this is translated using google and basic grammar sense, so I don’t know how accurate it is.

The chapter translated by CrazyPanda says 94 but it’s actually chapter 95 according to the raws.
As far as I can tell, all chapters are present in NU, I think there may have been a numbering mistake when the translators switched previously.

Lian Li face muscles severely twitched twice, his eyes closing in desperation: this dead bitch wanted him to put himself to death before she would stop!

She wants to die and drag him down with her!

Zhang Li Zheng is a village official; he had the biggest house in the village! Lian Li worked very hard but it was just enough for them to eat and die!

Who knew how much money it would take, possibly enough to break a fortune, in order to calm Zhang Li Zheng down.

And even if he lost his anger, the lump in his heart would remain in the future.
Once there he was reminded of this scene, it would be their bad luck.

This bitch, that stinky mouth!

In the past, Lian Li could hide behind Madam Qiao and pretend to be a good man while she shrieked and yelled.
This time, however, he finally tasted the bitter fruit.

”You—” Zhang Li Zheng was so angry, his face was white, staring at Madam Qiao without knowing what to say.

Although he was angry, he did not lose his mind.
Even though Lian Fang Zhou had sent charcoal to his family willingly, he could not argue with Madam Qiao as they had received the coal.
The more he tried to argue, the more and more black it would become.

And it was true that if Lian Fang Zhou had not given him the coal, he would not have so quickly invited the village elders to listen at Lian Li’s door and make a decision.

“Great aunt! You want to hate me, say what you want about my life, but you should not arbitrarily climb and bite others!” Lian Fang Zhou suddenly cried: “Yes, I sent some broken charcoal to Zhang Li Zheng’s family, Uncle Zhang’s little grandson has diapers to dry and drying clothes uses charcoal.
We have some at home, so why can’t we send some? Besides, our family is still small with no relatives to help.
If there is something in the future Uncle Zhang can say a fair word on, isn’t this good?”

In truth, Lian Fang Zhou had only learned later that the charcoal she had sent was used in this way but now her previous actions were only for the children.

Throughout the ages, people thought the same way.
Children were precious, it was good to send things to children and no one could speak against it! Now that it was time to wear winter clothes, which were difficult to dry, it made perfect sense that they would send their surplus charcoal.

As she begged for justice, the people listening could not help but feel moved by her words.

Zhang Li Zheng sighed: “Ah Fang Zhou, you really are too careful! Since I am in this village, of course, there will be justice! This is inevitable!”

Fang Zhou said frankly: “That being said, but… but my family does not have a head, my heart is uneasy! I just want to be like this and ask for peace of mind! Moreover, charcoal this kind of thing, we have so much, sending out the surplus to some to people is a fair thing! I really do not understand why this great aunt needs to climb and bite! But I have involved Uncle Zhang!”

“Don’t say that!” Zhang Li Zheng said: “As you said, this matter is not something you can’t speak openly about! We do things worthy of our conscience, afraid of what!”

Lian Fang Zhou nodded and said to Madam Qiao: “Aunt, you just mentioned Uncle Zhang but I also sent you and my uncle charcoal! You won’t admit it, will you? I want to be your family, but you can turn your head and sell me! How chilling!”

Madam Qiao froze, her angry eyes black, and scolded: “You dead girl, how could you be so kind as to send us charcoal for no reason! It turns out that you’ve been crooked from the beginning! Well, if you really take us as your elders, why when I picked a few vegetables from your garden, you wouldn’t give them to me! And the charcoal, at first glance, you gave Zhang Li Zheng but not the village elders!”

Lian Fang Zhou had taken the initiative to give her charcoal to prevent her from saying some bad words after she gave some to Zhang Li Zheng’s home, however the results today were simply unexpected.

She whimpered: “Aunt, what are you saying! I am clearly a kind person, but in your mouth I am a crooked heart! According to you, I expected both that you would sell me in advance and that the people who bought me would kindly send me back so that I could confront you in front of Uncle Zhang and the village elders? That’s too overbearing! You have a vegetable garden, why pick my food? Our family’s food is just enough to eat.
If I had more, how could I not kindly share it with you? As for charcoal, Aunt, Uncle Zhang’s family has sent some to several village elders, knowing that they are afraid of the cold.
What is there for me to mind?”

“Even in front of the elders, listen to yourself! What are you saying with your bitch mouth! This old man is scared to hear it! The village elders have spoken, almost without blowing up their lungs.
This dead bitch, getting more and more face-to-face, until even they are involved! This must be her house, let her lie, really cannot cure her!”

Lian Li’s face burst with red and white.
Hearing enough he came forward and raised his arm, giving Madam Qiao two slaps to her face.
Seeing her scream and rush to counterattack, Lian Li snapped: “Give it a rest or I’ll slap you again!”

Madam Qiao froze, her ass on the ground, and slapped her thighs, crying.

Zhang Li Zheng and the village elders had never seen such a shrew in their lives.
The village was not without shrews, there was no such thing as a quiet house, but which of them was not respectful and honest?

Seeing one like Madam Qiao, it really was the first time!

Several people’s faces became very ugly.

In fact, on a normal day, Madam Qiao would not have dared to make such a scene.
But in front of Lian Fang Zhou, who had previously not dared to fart, how could she bare the attack?

Who didn’t know that in the past, even the second room of the family, from top to bottom, was controlled by them? Now that this had fallen through, what reason was there for her to hold back!

Uncle Zhang coughed heavily and slapped the top of a small table: “It seems that this matter cannot be resolved today.
Madam Qiao, you really don’t have us few old ones in your eyes, its not surprising that you can do something like selling your niece! You’re going to make a scene, are you? Well, we’ll find you a quiet place where you can take your time to cause trouble.
When you’ve had enough, let’s continue to talk about things!”

Next to the ancestral hall in each village was a few small wing rooms, no windows, only a small, narrow skylight opening.
When the door closed, the inside was dark and cold.
It was designed to temporarily hold people who had made mistakes and were waiting to be dealt with.

Because of the condition of the small house, it was easy not to shut people inside.

What Uncle Zhang meant, was to put Madam Qiao in.

Madam Qiao, who was still beating her thigh, went white and her whole body froze.
Even the tearing cry of her voice abruptly stopped.

Being locked in the little black house, a person did not only need to fear freezing.
Even if they were released, no one in the village would look at her in the future! Madam Qiao was terrified, already full of regret.

She did not regret her actions, she only regretted that she could not climb up and bite Zhang Li Zheng.
If only the village elders had not become involved.

Startled, she came back to her senses a bit but the hate in her heart for Lian Fang Zhou rose, that even Lian Fang Zhou could hurt her!
