Chapter 96: Don't Be Ridiculous

solutely didn't want to see him die tragically before her eyes."Alright, don't fret. Just protect your mother and the treasure."The cellar door was slammed against from the outside several times. Fang...After giving the pastries, Zongyu didn't say a word, his steps even slightly hurried as he returned to his younger brother's side and grabbed his chopsticks to start eating.

He was eating so deliciously that there were constant swallowing sounds around him. Under the gaze of so many people, Zong Yu didn't seem to care at all.

Devoured with gusto.

This was the first time his daughter-in-law cooked since she moved in with them. Zong Yu was pleasantly surprised when he tasted it, he didn't expect it to be so good.

Zong Bai kept telling him to eat slowly, but Zong Yu was a little out of control. He always ate quickly, and now he was even faster.

A pastry gobbled up half the plate of vegetables in a few bites.

Even Zong Hu and Wang, the village head, also wanted to learn how to roll their vegetables with pancakes like him, but Zong Yu just discovered this.

His hand reacted so quickly, he didn't even know how. The remaining half-plate of food was already rolled into another tortilla.

Both of them were disappointed and smacked their lips.

Well, it's not bad to have some pancakes at this time.

The villagers stared at Zong Yu's mouth, still glistening with oil, and their hunger grew even stronger.

"Zong Bai, didn't your Yu Lian follow that wealthy young master Who cooks for the two of you"

Everyone in the village knew that Mu was a sickly person and had poor cooking skills.

This was all thanks to Zong Bai and Yu Lian, the brother and sister who often came to the village as kids to play with their friends. They would frequently complain about how their mother cooked bad food.

The vegetables in this basket were definitely not made by the Mu family.

"That was made by my sister-in-law," Zong Bai said with a hint of pride.

"Sister-in-law"

Many people in the village still don't know that Zongyu is already married.

Last night, the two of them went down the mountain. Every household was asleep and few people saw Fang Jinshu.

"That's right, my older brother is already married."

"You really think no one wants my older brother"

The villagers chuckled, but in their hearts they were all wondering which young lady had met with misfortune to cook such delicious food. It must be a virtuous girl.

To marry this brute, Zong Yu, is such a shame.

At this moment, no one dared to speak the truth. Zongbei wasn't stupid; he could see through their forced smiles and knew they were secretly calling his elder brother a vicious criminal in their hearts.

Zong's expression immediately grew cold, a hint of anger flashing across his face.

I couldn't care less about these people.

"Brother, your sister-in-law also prepared some clean water for you to take on the road."

He handed her a waterskin filled with water from the Spirit Spring.

If everyone had been watching Zongyu eating just now, their eyes would have been glued to him.

Their eyes fell on the water bladders, and their hearts ached to grab them.

This time when I went up the mountain to dig a water channel, Zong Ping Kang also came along.

He had already eaten a good meal at home before going up the mountain. Just now, during his break, he hid aside and ate the dry food prepared by his mother this morning before coming out.

Although the food was filling, it was also very bland.

He bought a lot of food with the reward silver he received from Su Yusheng. His house was no longer short of food, but now water was something that even money couldn't buy.

Zong Ping was parched to death, the moment he came out, he saw Zong Yu holding a waterskin and gulping down water in big mouthfuls.

Zongping Kang hurried to push past the people in front and ran over.

"Nephew, good nephew, quick, let me have a sip too, I'm practically parched!"

After drinking the water, Zongyu put the water bladder away.

Someone I didn't see much this morning has now popped up.

"Before going up the mountain, we agreed that everyone would bring their own food and water." This implied they weren't providing any.

Zhong Ping was furious, "Hey you little brat, am I a stranger to you Your father and I are brothers, I'm your uncle!"

"What's wrong with me having a drink of water"

"Don't try to pull the wool over my eyes, and just bring me some water!"

Zong Bai knew his elder brother was not good with words, so he stepped forward.

"Uncle, are you going to lose face"

Now, every household in the village treasures water like their life. Why should we give you water to drink

Even a normal person wouldn't say that they would stay.

But Zongping Kang wasn't a normal person.

He raised an eyebrow and pointed at Zong Bai, "You little punk who hasn't even grown all your hair yet, you dare to teach me"

"I'm going to drink your water today, so what Are you going to hit me"

Zongping's tough talk didn't match his actions. In reality, he was too scared to actually try and take anything from Zongyu.

Zong Hu stood in the crowd, feeling utterly embarrassed. He had never noticed how much his father could embarrass him before.

"Father, please stop teasing me."over, it's an incurable congenital condition.If she wants to live a long life, she has to take good care of her health.Suddenly Fang Jinxiu understood a little why the personalities of these two sibli...
