Chapter 418: If Only There Were Fang Jinshi

to rely on you.""You!" Zong Yulian glared angrily.“Am I wrong You haven’t even told me where your Su Lang’s hometown is. If it's far away, a woman who marries will lose the freedom she had as a young...None of the people in the old house thought that Zong Pingkang's words were wrong. Why should the second son's family be able to prosper, leaving their relatives, grandparents, uncles, and aunts to live a hard life

Can those little brats live with themselves

A bunch of unfilial brats, when Wu heard this, he was immediately flustered, "Old man, we can't just sit here and watch them prosper!"

The three-bedroom couple also eagerly looked towards Elder Zong. If they could mend their relationship with the second family, wouldn't their lives be carefree for the rest of their days They wouldn't have to work anymore and would never worry about food and drink!

Maybe the child will be able to read from a young age like the second child, and never have to live a life of poverty, always being dirt poor.

Hu Ai-lan was the most excited, but on the surface, she was calmer than anyone else.

This bunch of idiots in the Old Residence, they're all clueless. Even if Zong Yu's family was truly wealthy, how could a few meaningless words possibly reconcile them with the Second House

Still want to let others pay for these parasites, Auntie Mu and Brother Zong are not fools.

Once she takes over the assets of the second house, she won't want to support this whole family of scoundrels and charlatans. They are all a bunch of riff-raff.

"Ailan, you little rascal, pay attention! Tell me, how can we get the Mu family to willingly give us money and things"

Now the Wu family particularly misses the old days. Although the whole village was suffering from a drought and everyone else was tightening their belts, their family still had enough to eat and drink, with meat dishes every meal.

Look at what we eat now, every day it's some kind of strange stuff. Rotten leaves with muddy water, all the time! It took me a while to get some rice from my father, but even after I cooked it in that muddy water, everything tasted awful.

It's simply unpalatable.

If she doesn't eat, she'll starve to death. This little bitch He, taking advantage of her pregnancy, has been making a fuss in the house all day long. Wu Lao Tai can't bear this life at all.

"Ai Lan, hurry up and tell me!" She gripped Ai Lan's sleeve tightly.

Hu Ai-lan pretended to ponder for a moment, then spoke with a pained expression.

"Actually, there are ways to solve this, it's just..." She stuttered, which only made the family even more anxious.

"But what is it you're so quick to say, there are no outsiders here, what's there to be afraid of" Zong Pingkang urged.

Elderly Master also spoke up, "Ai Lan, if you have any good ideas, just say them. Our family's situation is so dire now, what else is there to be afraid of"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Hu Ai-lan's eyes, but it was quickly concealed as she lowered her eyelids.

"Well, then I might as well say it."

"I heard from villagers that before Fang Jinshi arrived, Zong Yu and Mu's aunt were quite filial to grandma and grandpa, sending game and silver every now and then."

Old Madam Wu hurriedly nodded, "That's right! In the past, the second branch wouldn't dare to treat us like this. Mu Shi, that medicine jar, was afraid of displeasing us and ruined Young Master Zong Bo's imperial examination prospects."

"It's laughable, she doesn't even think about their family's circumstances. She drags around a half-dead body, spends so much money every year buying medicine to keep herself alive, and still insists on raising that liability, Jade Lotus. She even wants to save up dowry money to marry her off to a good family."

"Our family is so poor we can't even afford to eat. Zongyu hunts for things to sell and earns just enough to get by."

"To even dream of producing a top scholar Bah, she's delusional. That boy Zong Bai has no hope of ever passing the exams anyway."

"If you have this money, it's better to spend it on being filial to us. When Mu shi dies, we might even help take care of his several children."

Hu Ai-lan just smiled, not taking Wu Lao Tai's words to heart.

"Hearing grandma say this, actually Mu Shuren and Zong Yu Gege were still quite filial. The real problem turned out to be with Fang Jinshu."

Hu Ai-lan's words struck a chord with everyone.

As soon as Old Mrs. Wu heard this, she nodded eagerly, "That's right! It was Fang Jinshiu, that wicked girl, who instigated the Second House to turn against us."

Hu Ai-lan murmured as if casually, "If it weren't for her, Zongyu gege and Mu Shushu definitely wouldn't be like this."

The old patriarch scowled and snorted coldly. first"Hu Ai-lan instantly came to her senses, Zhao was even more anxious than her."You just agreed to let Miss Hu in, didn't you What, are you going back on your word now""I'm a woman of my word," Fa...
