Then, you wait for me

ife's cheek.Soothe again."Be good, let me change your clothes.""Wearing wet clothes will make you sicker."This is all that Jinxiu had taught him before.Zongyu took the clothes from his chest, still ca...Fang Jinshi's words were well-reasoned and persuasive, both in logic and emotion.

The villagers, upon hearing this, all nodded in agreement. "That's right, Second Master Zong didn't force his family to pay for his education either."

The elder couple of the clan had pinned their hopes on this second son to bring them honor and glory. They had praised him to high heaven, saying he was beyond compare. But now that something happened, they didn't show any concern for family ties whatsoever.

"Indeed, ruthless."

"This girl is really a formidable daughter-in-law, she's incredible, with such sharp words."

Zongyu frowned, watching his uncle's face turn the color of liver.

This young daughter-in-law's tongue is truly formidable. Normally, he detests the gossipy and argumentative women in the village.

When people from the Zong family's old house came over to ask for things, he couldn't bring himself to do anything. He wouldn't want to argue with them like a woman either.

He was full of strength, and instead of opening his mouth, he would rather give them some food to keep the peace.

This time, he actually found Fang Jinshi's bickering appearance very pleasing, unlike any other woman.

Not only did he not find it annoying to look at, but that yellowish, thin face made him unable to look away.

Zong Kangping had never been treated this way. He'd always been arrogant and domineering in front of Lao Er's family, saying whatever he pleased.

Today, I was humiliated by a little girl's video. She even said she wouldn't give them anything anymore

The ancestral family's land had long since been worked to the point of being barren, and no more food could be grown.

They don't seek fame or honor, they live off of what they can get.

"You little bitch, I'll kill you!"

At the moment Fang Jinshi turned around, she hadn't expected Zong Pingkang to dare charge up. She wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

His face turned as white as a sheet, and he squeezed his eyes shut.

The expected pain didn't come, instead Zongping Kang's pained cries echoed in his ears.

"Don't touch her!" Zong Yu roared.

Fang Jinshu lifted her head to look, the man's rigid jaw clenched tightly as if he sensed her gaze and lowered his head.

"Are you alright"

She quickly shook her head, her heart pounding.

"Zongyu, how dare you hit an elder!"

"I'm going to the yamen to accuse you of being unfilial and disloyal. That little brat, Zong Bai, won't be able to take the imperial examinations for the rest of his life."

"Let me go."

Zong Bai had long been fed up with his uncle's family. Ignoring his elder brother's usual admonitions, he stood up.

"If you don't want to take the exam, then don't. If we can't even survive, what's the point of striving for fame and fortune"

Fang Jinxiu calmed down and thought, could it be that Zong Bai was prevented from taking the imperial examination How could this be possible.

She stepped out of the protection of her reputation and loudly declared.

"Well met, Your Honor."

"I'm racking my brain trying to figure out how to get back all the losses we suffered last year from you."

"Just right to have Master Official make a decision. Over these years, was it more wealth you took from Clan Honor, or was it more silver my father-in-law spent on his studies"

"Based on your family's yearly income, you could only afford to spend around five taels on my father-in-law each year."

"Most of it came from him copying books for money himself."

"And my husband, Zongyu, can sell a wild boar he hunts for dozens of silver taels."

You say take it if you want, is this paying off a debt or outright robbery

Zong Yu heard Fang Jinxiu's words "husband" and his body suddenly stiffened. He looked at her with unwavering gaze.

Being this big, he had long forgotten what it was like to be protected. He no longer needed anyone's protection.

He has always been the one who sheltered and protected his family.

I never thought that one day he would be protected by a slender girl.

Zong Yu had never harbored any romantic feelings for women. His emotional world was almost a blank slate.

But he suddenly felt that his mother's decision to buy Fang Jinshu as his wife didn't seem so bad after all.

This feeling is really amazing.

"Come on, come on, let's go find Old Master Guan and settle this account properly. Let's see who owes whom."

Seeing that this girl was so capable, the Liu family was afraid she would really take them to see the officials.

Hurry and pull your husband to dissuade him.

We can't possibly go see the officials, Little Tiger still has to study.

"Let's rush back and tell our mother. After all, that sickly Mu is most afraid of our mother. As long as our mother steps in, Mu will definitely obediently hand over the pork."

Zong Kangping's face darkened, he pointed at them, "You little brats, you wait for me."

He was seething with anger and could only vent it on the villagers who were watching the commotion.

"What are you looking at!"
