. After returning home, he saw his wife bustling about the kitchen with a big belly, and he couldn't help but feel distressed."How come you're cooking Where's that girl, Hu Ailan"He shi's face was ful...As soon as the couple from the main branch left, Zong Bai immediately understood and dispersed everyone around him.

Some people's eyes even glowed green with hunger as they stared intently at the wild boar and rabbits by Zong Yu's feet, unwilling to leave. They hoped that when he slaughtered them, some scraps would fall out for them to pick up.

They were so hungry that they forgot about his reputation for ruthlessness. When he turned his face and glared at them fiercely, they were terrified, their bodies trembling with fear, and they ran away in a panic.

Zong Bai glared at them. Earlier when their uncle and aunt had been giving them a hard time, these people just stood by and watched the show.

If it weren't for my sister-in-law's eloquence in turning the situation around, they would still be siding with our uncle and insisting that giving up the wild boar was the right thing to do.

Not even a drop of blood would he give to these people.

The two brothers lifted the wild boar again, their home was just in front of them.

Mu and Zong Yulian had already heard the commotion and came out, coincidentally hearing Fang Jinshi's words.

Closing the courtyard gate, Mu shi stared at the pile of prey with an excited expression.

She patted Fang Jinxiu's hand repeatedly.

"Good child, you are such a good child."

"Did I just scare you"

Fan Jinshi hurriedly shook her head.

Tears welled up in Mu's eyes, and she couldn't help but redden her eyelids.

Over the years, my son and I have suffered greatly at their hands. A-Yu endured it all for his younger brother's future, swallowing his resentment.

"No one has ever come up to us and spoken to us before."

Zong Bai smiled and came closer, "That's right! What your sister-in-law just said is true. For so many years, my uncle and aunt haven't been shy about asking our family for things and money."

"Today is the first time I went back empty-handed, they must be furious."

Zong Yulian, beside them, splashed a basin of cold water on their faces with a dark expression.

"Mother, her scolding seems to have vented our family's anger. You all know it deep down."

"This time I offended my uncle, and our family hasn't had a peaceful day since."

She's a jinx, just coming to our house for one day and causing such havoc. You were praising her!

Zhong Yu suddenly rebuked.

"Yu Lian, be quiet."

Big Brother spoke, and Zong Yulian, no matter how upset she was, could only obediently keep quiet.

Everyone knows that the family was built on her older brother's back, so she wouldn't dare to defy him.

He turned his head to look at Fang Jinxiu.

"Yu Lian is still young, you shouldn't take her words to heart."

Fāng Jǐnxiù smiled and glanced at Zōng Yúlín.

"Do you think I was just bluffing when I said I'd bring them to the authorities"

"Rest assured, the Zong family has taken advantage of you for so many years. What excuse could they possibly have to pay you back In reality, they are deeply guilty themselves."

"Zongbai, do you believe your sister-in-law"

Zong Bai was taken aback and quickly nodded, "Of course I believe my sister-in-law."

"Jade Lotus was just bullied and scared. She's timid and cowardly, I'm not afraid of them at all."

"All he does is threaten us with the civil service exam. Well, I'm not going to take it anyway!"

Hearing this, both Mu Shi and Zong Yu's faces flashed with a hint of sadness.

Without taking the imperial examinations, how could they leave this mountain and go to the capital to find out the truth about that person's disappearance

"Alright, alright. It's wonderful that you brought back so much prey today."

"Don't even mention those spoilsports."

Your sister-in-law is right. They've been bullying our family for too long. Heaven sees everything, they should be the ones feeling guilty.

"Let's close the door and live our own lives."

Zongyu walked to his mother's side, "Mother, tomorrow I will go to the market and sell this wild boar, and bring back food."

< Avoid unnecessary trouble. >

Mu nodded. "I heard from Zongbei that we're having roasted rabbit for dinner tonight."

Come, mother will make you some fire, quickly go and get the rabbit ready. started falling again. The footprints she had left on her way here had already been covered by fresh snowfall.This road is complicated, with several junctions.Fortunately, she remembered the way. How...
