Chapter 474 Consequences Unthinkable

she was still unhappy.“Aren’t we already in a cooperative relationship Didn’t you say you wanted me to be your subordinate Why didn’t you come to the county town and find me to arrange a place for yo...Zong Yu watched coldly, letting Zhao shi shout without stopping her. Instead, he waited with a cold face until she finished.

Zhao Shi and Hu Ai-lan finally realized something was wrong. Hu Ai-lan quietly tugged at Zhao Shi's sleeve.

"Auntie Zhao, please, don't shout anymore. Let bygones be bygones. I'm really fine, you don't have to make Brother Zongyu angry."

The Zhao family hated iron for not becoming steel, "Foolish girl, how can you keep thinking of him He doesn't even see you as a person."

"Today, Zhao's aunt really went all out! There has to be some way to reason with her!"

She shouted for a long time but found that no one came out. Zhao's heart pounded in her chest, this wasn't right! Usually, as soon as she shouted like this, creating a commotion, the women from the village would all run out to watch the show.

Yesterday they all rushed to her house and asked if it was true. Today, they haven't come out at all

A family living next door to the village head, the man had gone up the mountain to help Zongyu's family clear land. The mother and daughter had just come back from working in the fields not long ago.

When Zongyu arrived, they saw him and kept watching the commotion from behind the door.

"Mother, didn't you say yesterday that Sister Hu Ailan was pitiful and that Zongyu had no conscience"

"Zhao Shnzi asked you for help and you agreed, so why are we hiding here to watch the excitement Shouldn't we go out and help them"

The little girl was only about ten years old and didn't understand her mother's actions. In a child's world, the boundaries between right and wrong were very clear.

The young mother glanced at her daughter, “You’re too young, you don’t understand.”

"We can't meddle in this. If we get involved and ruin your father's livelihood, we'll all go hungry."

"Just sneak a peek at the excitement, but absolutely do not go out!"

The girl was puzzled. "But we're not going out to help Sister Hu, isn't she going to be very pitiful"

The young mother sighed, "She's pitiful, but at least she's not as pitiful as we are."

Most people in the village thought this way, most of them adopted a wait-and-see attitude. If Zong Yu truly had any intentions towards Hu Ailan, they would have gone up to Hu Ailan and befriended her long ago.

It's not like that now, it has always been Hu Ai Lan who runs around everywhere, and Zong Yu hasn't even looked at her properly.

The villagers are realistic. In this day and age, sympathy can't feed anyone.

"

Mind your own business!

"

Zhao called out for a long time but no one came out. She was furious, thinking to herself, "These spineless cowards! They're all afraid to offend Zong Yu, aren't they"

"Well, I don't believe there's no law in this village! You, a big man, dare to do something but not stand behind it! I'm going to the county government office to report you and let the magistrate handle this!"

Zong Yu's face turned cold, and he drew his dagger from his waist, pointing it at Zhao Shi.

"I don't have that kind of time and patience to waste here with you."

"Go to the village and explain everything immediately."

A flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes. He was a man, not skilled at verbal sparring with women.

Moreover, Zongyu could tell that they didn't care what he said at all; they just wanted to make a bigger fuss.

Now, Dong'er's identity hasn't been figured out yet. Jinshu has already started to suspect him. Zongyu himself knows he didn't do anything, but without evidence, no one believes him.

Besides, Dong'er's birthmark is truly unexplainable.

Zong Yu, furious, directly harbored murderous intentions and couldn't allow them to continue causing chaos.

Two women saw Zong Yu draw his dagger, and they were so frightened that their faces turned white, stumbling backward.

"Zong, Zongyu, you, what do you want to do You don't even think about killing to silence me!"

Zong Yu's face turned as cold as ice. "You have angered me, and you have also made Jinxiu unhappy. I can no longer allow you to talk nonsense."

"Either get out, or I'll kill you," he said, brandishing the dagger directly at Hu Ailan. He showed no hesitation, his eyes seeming to look at her as if she were already dead.

Hu Ai-lan was incredulous, "Brother Zongyu, you... you want to kill me"

"What did I do wrong I swear those rumors weren't spread by me!"

Zhao hurriedly stood in front of Hu Ailan, “You, if you have the ability, come at me! Those words were spread by me, and they have nothing to do with Hu Ailan.”

Zong Yu couldn't hear what they were saying. He only knew that Jin Xiu already had a grudge in her heart, and even though Zhao Shi was the daughter-in-law of Wang Cunzhang, he didn't want to let her off.

Fortunately, Fang Jinshu discovered Zong Yu's abnormality after finishing the medicinal water and immediately followed him to the village.

The consequences would truly be unimaginable.me as your sister-in-law.""Thank you, sister-in-law! We won't go hungry tonight!"Tie Zhu hurriedly picked up the firewood and went under the stove to start a fire.Fang Jinshi smiled faintly. Only a fe...
