Chapter 482: A Shameful Display
tied up and hung from a tree by Jinshu, he noticed the rope on the ground. It was new and didn't look like it was commonly used.Just when everyone was waiting for his answer, he pointed at the rope on...Hu Ailan hurried to the kitchen. As she passed by Lao San and his wife, the smell on her body almost made He's faint.
"Ugh!" He shied back several steps, unable to contain her nausea.
Zong Lao San also heard, quickly pulled away He Shi while shouting at Hu Ai Lan.
"Did you fall in a manure pit, that's so stinky!"
Hu Ai-lan's face turned pale. She was humiliated and furious, but she dared not show her emotions. Now that the old house was under the control of Zong Lao San, offending him would mean being kicked out. She wouldn't even have a place to sleep at night.
Old Third felt terrible seeing his daughter-in-law constantly vomiting. He was filled with pity, but when he saw Hu Ailan, anger surged through him and he kicked her hard.
"What are you just standing there for, change into some clean clothes and come back to cook. Do you want to poison us all!"
Hu Ai-lan gritted her teeth, "Okay, okay, Third Uncle, don't be angry. I'll go change right now."
After she learned to manage the mountaintop and became the second mistress of the Zong family, she swore that the first thing she would do was turn around and give that contemptuous Zong Lao San a good thrashing!
When he needs her, he calls her a worthless slut. Just because she spent a day away from home doing chores, he immediately starts beating and berating her, even worse than his own father!
Zong Laosan may not know Hu Ailan's thoughts. He turned around and helped Mrs. He into the house, asking about her well-being.
"Wife, I just didn't smoke with you and the son How do you feel"
"He Shi frowned, "Third brother, Hu Ailan isn't someone who is generous. After you hit her just now, she will probably hold a grudge."
"She dare!"
"Look at her, such a coward. She even dares to hold a grudge against us."
“She doesn’t even realize who is providing for her, feeding and housing her. Without us, she would be homeless and wandering around the village right now, without a place to sleep.”
"Alright, alright, don't worry about these things. Leave it to me, you just focus on taking care of your stomach."
Mrs. He shook her head incessantly, but Elder Zong's words fell on deaf ears. A sense of unease began to gnaw at her heart.
But when you think about it, Hu Ai-lan now relies on their family for a living.
How could Fang Jinshu let her marry Zong Yu It's simply a fool's dream.
A pregnant woman shouldn't overthink things, she's already tired enough today. She lay down and fell asleep in no time, even when Hu Ailan had dinner ready and called her, He Shi didn't wake up.
Hu Ai-lan held a pair of scissors in her hand and stood by He's bedside for a long time, her eyes as venomous as if they were poisoned.
The next morning, Hu Ai-lan hadn't slept enough. Zong Lao San had already gone out when she woke up.
Last night after dinner, Zong Lao San got angry because she didn't work during the day. He threw all the dirty clothes in the house at her and told her to wash them.
She had been washing clothes all night until late, so tired that she felt dizzy and her waist ached. Now, Hu Ailan just wanted to sleep for a while longer; otherwise, she really felt like she was going to die from exhaustion.
It's a pity that Zong Lao San had just left when Yu Lian arrived, like a death warrant, pounding on her door.
"Hu Ailan, do you still want to be the housekeeper for my big brother You think being in charge of the family is so easy It's past time and you're still not up."
"Do you think it's easy for my sister-in-law to manage the household every day Get up, there's still a pile of chores waiting to be done today!"
Hu Ailan originally didn't want to pay attention to Yulian's shouting, but when she heard the other party mention Fang Jinshu how could it be so capable, that unwillingness to lose feeling in her heart flared up again.
No, she absolutely couldn't let anyone think she was worse than Fang Jinxiu. If Fang Jinxiu could do it, she could too.
Just need to get through these few days, it should be fine.
Hu Ai-lan dragged her weary body up, she didn't even have time to wash or eat breakfast before being pulled away by Jade Lotus.
He simply watched coldly from the sidelines and made no attempt to stop it.
Hu Ailan originally intended to enter the clan and thoroughly understand the true amount of wealth possessed by the second house. She also planned to take this opportunity to mend her relationship with the Mu family.
Zhong Yu's disgust for her was obvious. Hu Ailan was also a little disheartened and didn't dare to target Zhong Yu anymore. She turned her attention to Mu Shi, who was soft-hearted and easy to talk to.
After five days of hard labor, let alone finding an opportunity to repair the relationship with Mu's family, Zong Yulian had been given a pile of dirty and tiring work by her.
Won't let her leave even if she can't finish it.
Hu Ai-lan was so exhausted that she could lie down and sleep for three days and three nights. She had no energy to even speak, let alone look for Mu Shi. Even if Mu Shi appeared in front of her right now, she wouldn't have the strength to say another word.
Exhausted and starving, I'm beyond human.r, the magistrate will definitely let him come back."If he really killed someone, we can't protect a murderer, can we"This could implicate the whole family." His daughter-in-law had just gotten pregna...
