Chapter 21: I Want You to Be a Cow and a Horse for Life to P

angrily, “Tie Zhu found the water source that was the Big Brother’s usual place to draw water.”"Even though that water puddle was flowing, it wouldn't be enough for all the households in the village...Their eyes met for a long moment, but Zong Yu finally just silently pulled her behind him. Taking advantage of the fact that Old Madam Wu and Zong Pingkang hadn't gotten up yet, he pretended nothing had happened.

Fang Jinxiu was rather surprised. Zong Yu should have seen it just now, right

Is he... choosing to protect her, shield her

When Zongping finally managed to get up, he was supporting Wu Laotai's face. Her complexion was terrible.

"Who just kicked me Who!"

"You bunch of little brats, I won't let you get away with this!" he roared angrily, Old Wu trembling all over from the exertion.

"Mu Yunhe, you little wretch."

"This is your well-raised child, kicking their own grandmother and uncle!"

Mu frowned, she had no idea what was going on.

Old Mrs. Wu and Elder Zong suddenly tumbled into a heap. She was still puzzled.

"Mother, you need to provide evidence for your words. Our family of three has been standing right here the whole time, who kicked you"

Old Mrs. Wu pointed at her, gritting her teeth so hard it was a sight to behold.

"You dare to argue still!"

"There's no one else here besides your family, not even a ghost! If it wasn't you, then who could it be!"

"Could it be that we deliberately tripped ourselves"

Fang Jinxiu, who had been silent all along, suddenly said in a chilling voice, "Maybe it really was the ghost kicking."

"So many people have died of thirst and hunger at this late hour, it's hard to imagine there aren't corpses on this mountain."

Perhaps they can't stand your behavior and kicked you to vent their anger.

Only then did Old Madam Wu notice Fang Jinxiu's unfamiliar face. She had been oblivious just now, as the darkness obscured one side of her and Zong Yu had been shielding her with his tall frame the whole time.

He deliberately shielded her so that Old Madam Wu wouldn't see her.

Old Mrs. Wu saw Fang Jinshu's sharp eyes narrow into a slit.

"Well now, you must be Zong Yu's newly married wife."

"Girl, I advise you to go back where you came from. You marrying my grandson won't lead to a good life."

"Go back to your own home and mind your own business."

Zongping Kang, clutching his still throbbing wrist, leaned close to Old Wu's ear and whispered.

"Mother, this girl has quite the sharp tongue."

"This afternoon, she stopped me from taking the pork away."

"Old Lady Wu let out a cold snort and looked at Mu Shi, "You give me back this girl, return the marriage money to me."

Mu finally understood one thing: her mother-in-law, Wu, had never intended to let their family go.

Saying anything more about repaying her husband's reading expenses is actually just an excuse to exploit their family!

Jinxiu is the daughter-in-law Zongyu married back, she was very satisfied and liked this child. This time, no matter what, she would not be threatened by her mother-in-law again.

"No, I won't give Jinxiu back."

She has entered our home and is now one of us.

"Whether you admit it or not."

"I have no silver to give you."

Jinxiu's words this afternoon gave her a bit of enlightenment. For so many years, the old house had always reached out to them for money and things, but never mentioned how much silver her husband owed the family.

Old Mrs. Wu heard that she wouldn't return the person and wouldn't give money, so she was furious and stomped her feet.

"What! When did it become your turn, a second wife, to call the shots in this household!"

"If you don't pay back the debt you owe to your family today, all that money will be mine. You have no right to use it to marry a wife."

"Get rid of this dead girl quickly and return my money!"

The Mu family ignored her words and, plucking up her courage, asked, “You keep saying that your husband’s studies have cost the family a lot of silver and emptied out the ancestral wealth.”

"I also know how hard it was for you to afford his education back then."

"So all these years, Yunhe has never dared to shirk responsibility. If you want money, I'll give you money; if you want things, I'll give you things."

"Today, I want to ask my husband, how much silver has he spent from the family Could it be that after all these years, the money and things we've returned still aren't enough"

When Old Madam Wu saw this, she knew that Mrs. Mu wanted to settle accounts with them and her heart skipped a beat. She cried out, "Bad!"

Over the years, she had been in a state of illness and confusion. They reveled in exploiting Zongyu's hunting spoils, living more comfortably than when the second son was at home.

Once a person has tasted the sweetness, there is no reason to give up.

Even if the second son's tuition had been paid long ago, they would still deny it.

"Not enough! Of course not enough!" Old Master Wu shouted.

"The second brother died on the way to take the exam because he married you, a widow-bringing star."

"Mu Yunhe, you owe our family a champion's life! I want your mother and sisters to work for us like oxen and horses for the rest of their lives to pay off the debt!"ages are all in my sister-in-law's bowl, so of course Zong Bai wouldn't be happy about it.He finished his own portion and, with a snort directed at Su Yusheng, turned to grab other dishes, but this ti...
