Chapter 543 It's All Your Fault

espectful to pry into their business without their consent.Facing Mu Shi and Zong Bai's gazes, Village Head Wang didn't know how to begin.He also didn't believe Zongyu would do such a thing, but, but,...Fang Jinshi lowered her head and smiled, "Zhao Shu should be aware of our family situation, right"

"I was sold to my clan for five taels of silver by them."

Village Chief Zhao was stunned, “What You were sold to them”

His surprised expression also surprised Fang Jinshu in turn.

"Well, doesn't Uncle Zhao know about this"

She still thought everyone in the village knew.

However, thinking about it, the Fang couple cared so much about Fang Jianren's reputation, how could they possibly let outsiders know that they sold their daughter

"How do my parents explain me to outsiders"

Zhao, the village head, paused and realized that things might not be as the Fang couple had said.

"They said you went to the mountains to live a life of luxury."

"Zongyu's reputation is that of a hunter. Everyone in the village knows this. Your parents said that hunters' families are wealthy, and they never lack meat to eat. Marrying into such a family would be living a life of ease."

Fang Jinshi was speechless.

"At that time, I was unwilling to marry into the mountains and even tried to run away. I was caught by my father and tied up with a rope before being sent to my husband's family."

"Before that, they forced me to sign a selling contract."

"Luckily, the Zong family is kind, so I'm considered fortunate."

"Now, if you really count it, I'm not really connected to the Fang family anymore."

So, Uncle Zhao need not fear them. They are people who will meddle in everything regardless of reason, and the more you engage with them, the more insistent they become.

Village head Zhao's face darkened upon hearing this, and he angrily slammed his fist on the table.

"Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own child, Fang Dazhu is just too much."

Fang Jinshu smiled in surprise, "I thought it wasn't uncommon for villagers to sell their daughters and sons. Why are you so angry, Uncle Zhao"

When people face disaster and hardship, they always tend to abandon things that are not important first.

"Even if they didn't sell me, the day our family ran out of food and money, my sisters and I would still be destined to be abandoned."

"Actually, I have to thank them for selling me the land in the mountains back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met A-Yu."

"This could be considered a blessing in disguise."

Zhao, the village head, looked at the young face before him. Although what was being said were such unfair and heartbreaking things, Fang Jinshu's expression remained as calm and indifferent as water, without a hint of indignation.

Even elderly people who have lived a lifetime find it difficult to remain so calm when faced with such injustices, especially when they happen to them.

Where did Village Head Zhao hear about Fang Jinshi's plight

She wasn't the original owner, at most she felt injustice for the original owner, but she had never truly experienced everything the original owner went through.

In her heart, Fang Dazhu and Wang Xiumei weren't really her parents.

Of course, it's only because it doesn't matter.

She didn't expect that Village Head Zhao would develop a deep affection for her because of her few casual remarks today, and even more so, he treated her like his own daughter afterward, full of love and trust.

The Zhao family originally had three sons and one daughter. All three sons married and established their own businesses, venturing out to make their mark on the world. Unfortunately, Zhao Village Head's only daughter drowned when she was very young.

If my daughter hadn't drowned back then, she'd probably be about the same age as Fang Jinshu now.

"Girl, you're a capable one. Better days are ahead of you."

Zong Yu used this dozen-jin large grass carp to make four dishes, stir-frying, deep-frying in turn.

They all used their own seasoning, and both Mr. Zhao and his wife ate it with great satisfaction. They also took the opportunity to compliment Zong Yu on his excellent cooking skills.

All of them were carefully trained by Fang Jinshui, little by little.

At first, when the Fang family wanted to arrange a marriage with a hunter from the mountains, people in the village spread rumors that he was a ferocious night demon, killing without mercy. They made him out to be as terrifying as possible.

The village girls were afraid to even mention his name.

Rumors should not be believed!

Chief Zhao looked at Zong Yu, who kept serving Fang Jinshi dishes beside him. Zong Yu was treating his wife like a treasure, pampering her without end. He was meticulous and considerate, and he also had exceptional skills.

To marry such a man shouldn't be frightening at all; it should be a wonderful thing.

No wonder this little Jinxiu said she got lucky in misfortune.

If the village girls back then saw this, they would probably regret ever calling Zongyu a vicious yokai.

Whether others regretted it or not, Qing Fangmingxia didn't know. Anyway, she was regretting it to death right now.

The parents failed to bring the fish home. They watched helplessly as Zongyu carried it away and sold it cheaply to Zhao Village Head's family.

On her way home, Fang Mingxia could no longer contain herself and complained to Fang Dazhu and the others.

"This is the merciless demon slayer you guys were talking about"

"I think Zongyu is very capable!"

"It's all your fault! You had to marry the third brother off. If I had been the one to go, our family would definitely be living better now!"d.Having the person bring three hundred taels of silver notes, Fang Jinxiu stretched out his hand and before giving them away, he asked."Do you keep your word"Fang Jinxiu pinched the other end of the...
