  Lian Man'er saw Lian Hua'er following Lian You'er into the east wing, so she took Xiao Qi out of the west wing and quietly stood under the window of the east wing to listen to the movements inside.

  In the east wing of the house, He Shi was chatting with Lian Hua.

  "Flower, you can marry a good family, but you can't just watch your second brother get away with it. Look at this marriage for your second brother, everything is ready, whether it will succeed or not depends on you." Madam He said to Lianhua.

  Lian Hua'er had just woken up when Lian Ya'er called her, saying that He Shi wanted to talk to her about something important. She couldn't think of what important matter He Shi could have to discuss with her, but since she was summoned, she didn't want to ignore it either, so she followed Lian Ya'er. What she didn't expect was that as soon as He Shi opened her mouth, she started talking about Er Lang's marriage.

  "Second Aunt, Second Brother's marriage is a good thing. However, this matter should be discussed with Grandfather and Grandma. If this marriage is as good as Second Aunt said, Grandfather and Grandma will definitely agree. As an unmarried girl, I don't have the right to comment." Lian Hua'er said with a smile.

  "Flowers, who doesn't know that you can be considered half a family in that house. As for your second brother's marriage, there's no need to say anything, just give out the betrothal gifts and it'll do." Madam He said this quite directly.

  Lian Hua's face stiffened slightly.

  "Second Aunt, I'm just an unmarried girl, where would I get that kind of money?" Lian Hua'er said.

  "Flowers, don't speak in riddles in front of others. At home, only you can come up with this money, if you don't, it won't be good for you either." He Shi smiled and said, her words subtly revealing a threat, which was also the most tactful way she could think of.

  "Second Aunt, I don't understand what you're saying. Why don't you discuss it with my parents?" Lianhua stood up and was about to leave.

  Lian Hua'er is now a shining treasure in He Shi's eyes, and she can't let her leave like this. She grabs Lian Hua'er with one hand. He Shi is tall and strong, and anxious at heart, so he uses force, causing Lian Hua'er to cry out in pain.

  "Second Aunt, what do you mean?" Lianhua raised an eyebrow.

  "Flower, you think we're all fools. I'm not the idiot from your third uncle's house or the fool from your fourth uncle's house... About selling the vines, Yang Chengfeng gave you 300 taels of silver, but you said it was 500 taels and borrowed 600 taels at high interest. You repaid Yang Chengfeng 300 taels and still had 300 taels left. I don't want it all, just give me half and we'll settle your second brother's marriage, and everyone will be happy."

  Mr. He made it clear.

  Lian Hua'er was suddenly stunned.

  "Second Aunt, where did you hear this nonsense?" Lianhua couldn't help but raise her voice.

  "Hua'er, you'd better keep your voice down, your grandfather and grandmother are upstairs." He Shi sneered, "You can't scare others with this attitude, let alone me."

  Lian Hua'er saw He Shi take out a strong momentum, and her heart sank. She didn't say she wanted to leave anymore, but instead turned around and sat down next to He Shi.

  "Second Aunt, I don't know where you heard that from. Let me tell you the truth, at that time we used 500 taels of silver, and later borrowed 600 to repay that debt, leaving only a few dozen taels of silver left. Second Uncle also took a share. These days, our expenses have already been spent. Lian Hua'er accompanied with a smile, patiently explaining to He Shi, "Second Aunt, on that day, Second Uncle went with my father to repay the money, Fourth Uncle was there too, how could it be fake?"

  "Hua Er, don't say your Second Uncle didn't see it when he followed you. When I wasn't looking, your father had already sent your Fourth Uncle away and got your Second Uncle drunk on wine. Your Second Uncle was completely unaware of what was happening, being deceived by your father like that." He Shuo said, leaning in close to Hua Er, speaking very intimately, "Hua Er, you people have done things like this before, not just once or twice. In the past, it was always small amounts, so we didn't bother to keep track. If it weren't for your Second Brother's matter this time, I wouldn't be bringing it up with you either."

  Lian Hua'er's body was shaking with anger.

  "Second Aunt, it's nothing." Lian Hua immediately denied it, but she was still clear that if something happened at home now, she would be the one to suffer the most. So she suppressed her anger and continued to smile at He Shi.

  "Second Aunt, Second Brother's marriage, can't we wait another month? If we rush to settle it down at this time, how much money will our family have? It will be a tight and embarrassing affair. It's not good for Second Brother either." Lian Hua'er softly advised He Shi, "Next month I'll get married, after that, even if the betrothal gift is one or two hundred times more, it won't be a big deal. We can hold the wedding in a grand and dignified manner, and Second Aunt will also save face."

  Lian Hua'er said this and then glanced at Lian Niu'er beside her.

  "Second Aunt, Yu'er's feet are bound so neatly, it would be a pity if she marries a farmer in the future. Our Yu'er looks like you, Second Aunt, and is born with good fortune. I plan to find a wealthy and influential family for Yu'er in the county town. And also, Third Brother will marry someone from the county town too, all taken care of by me, that's when Second Aunt can truly enjoy her blessings."

  These words, He Shi had heard before, but they were spoken by Gu Shi. Every time she heard them, she felt as sweet as honey in her heart and her body felt light and airy. However, Er Lang's marriage could not be delayed any longer, and even Man Er's words reminded her of this. The main house has money now, the main house's promises are not necessarily reliable, what can be grasped with one's hands is the most realistic.

  "Yes, Flower, in the future our whole family will be relying on you." Madam He said with a mouthful of food, "Before that, let's first take out one or two hundred to settle your second brother's marriage."

  Lian Hua'er saw He Shi's indifference and felt a little anxious in her heart.

  "It's all been said, but now I really can't get the money out. Just one month's effort, can't you wait a bit longer?"

  Lian Hua's behavior was clearly an excuse in He Shi's eyes.

  "Hua Er, I've been very good to you. You're being like this, it's making me feel cold." He Shi saw that Hua Er still wouldn't take out the money and got a bit annoyed, "Hua Er, how much benefit did you give to the Fourth House? I saw everything."

  "What benefits did I give her? The gift from Second Aunt is even thicker than hers." Lian Hua immediately said.

  He smiled and chuckled twice.

  Lian Wan'er heard He Shi and Lian Hua'er reaching a crucial point in their conversation outside the window, so she quickly made eye contact with Xiao Qi and pointed to the upper floor. Xiao Qi understood, bent down, and quietly went upstairs.

  As for Zhang's matter, even if Si Lang and Lian Ru'er testified, it would still be somewhat lacking. But if Lian Hua herself admitted it, the effect would be different. As for He's matter, she didn't mention it because Lian Hua had made a promise to her. Now that they are short of money at home, Lian Man'r reminded He that Lian Hua has money. Given He's temperament, she will definitely ask Lian Hua for money and use this matter to threaten Lian Hua.

  So Lian Piao decided to eavesdrop and let Xiao Qi lead Lian Lao Ye. Let Lian Lao Ye hear Lian Hua Er's words with his own ears, even if Lian Lao Ye wanted to turn a blind eye, he couldn't do it anymore.

  The conversation in the east wing is still going on.

  "You gave Meng'er silk flowers and bangles, and secretly gave her some money, you're clear about that. The fourth house has been having a constant supply of dishes every day, at first I didn't understand, but now I do - if it wasn't you who provided them, then who was it? You're afraid they'll reveal the ugly things you've done, so you use money to shut their mouths. Hua'er, Erniang also has a mouth..."

  This is a threat from Akuma no Mi.

  "It's not just about Man Er, it's all empty talk. Grandpa and Grandma have already scolded my parents and warned them that no one is allowed to mention it again. Second Aunt, if you want to be kicked out of the house, go ahead and spread the word." Lian Hua's tone also became tougher.

  Footsteps came from the door of the upstairs house, and Lian Menger turned her head to see Xiao Qi leading Lian Ye out. Lian Ye had a bewildered expression on his face, he had just woken up and was about to smoke a cigarette when he was pulled up by his little grandson. In a mysterious manner, without saying what it was about, he said he wanted him to accompany him to play. Now as soon as they went out the door, Lian Menger saw that she was under the window of the east wing, seemingly eavesdropping.

  Even Lao Yezi wanted to speak up.

  Lian Wan'er saw Lian Lao Ye coming out and hurriedly put her finger to her lips, making a silencing gesture.

  Xiao Qi hugged Lian's old legs and whispered pitifully, "Grandpa, you promised me you wouldn't make a sound."

  For this youngest grandson's coquetry, even the old man couldn't help but soften. At the same time, he also sensed that something was amiss, and a fleeting thought flashed through his mind, but ultimately he didn't speak up.

  Xiao Qi quietly pulled Lian Laoye to the east wing, and although he didn't make a sound, he refused to bend down to listen at the window with Lian Man'er. Instead, he stood up straight at the entrance of the east wing, where he could still hear the conversation inside.

  "...what you did was not just that one thing." In the east wing, Mrs. He pointed at Lianhua and said, "Why did your aunt and fourth aunt not get along? Why was she so angry that she pushed fourth aunt down and caused a miscarriage?"

  "What's wrong with me?" Lian Hua'er said with a tough mouth, but her heart was slightly trembling.

  "You're not the one, who else? Don't you remember that your fourth aunt knocked out your mother's teeth and your fourth uncle beat up your father? You were spoiled by your elder aunt in front of your elders, and she was beaten by your fourth aunt." He said this with gleaming eyes. "Flower, what a disaster! If it weren't for Mian'er inviting the good doctor, not just that child, but also your fourth aunt would have died. You say, if you were at home in the Song family, would you dare to do such things and still be allowed in?"

  Lian Hua's eyes widened and she stood there in a daze.

  He was even more pleased.

  "Not to mention the Song family from the county town, even a decent family in our small village wouldn't dare marry someone like you."

  Lian Hua's originally rosy face had turned as white as paper, and tears began to flow out.

  "Second aunt, without any grudges or grievances, how can you slander me like this?"

  "Hua Er, don't be stubborn." He said, "You and your husband, I've heard it all. I don't want to ruin your marriage, hand over 200 taels of silver, and I won't mention this to anyone. Otherwise..."

  He saw Lianhuaer's weakness and increased his bet again.

  "Mei'er is just a little girl, who can blame her? Besides, when that thing happened, I went to the county, and it was done by Lao Gu, even if I said something, I could only say Lao Gu was wrong, what does it have to do with me?" Lian Hua'er said proudly. She didn't deny it because she thought that in front of He Shi, everyone was equally guilty.

  Lian Hua didn't deny it, and indeed she was the one who had been secretly plotting against her. Lian Man's hatred made her grit her teeth in anger.

  "Lian Hua'er, Old Two, get out here, all of you!" Lian Laoye shouted towards the house.
