Chapter 159 Makes Sense

e to rush home and change my shovel now. The irrigation ditch will be dug soon, Chunlan girl, you just bear with me for a while, I'll be right back."As he spoke, he was about to leave. Chulan was star..."You, you little punk! You're messing with us" Old Zong was furious and looked like he was about to attack her again.

Zong Yu's eyes swept coldly past, putting on the air of a protective mother hen, blocking Fang Jinxiu behind him, not allowing anyone to get close.

Thanks to her husband's imposing physique and presence, Fang Jinshu displayed a completely fearless demeanor.

He wasn't afraid of the old patriarch's black face at all.

"When did I ever play you" she said innocently.

The elder patriarch retracted his hand, gritting his teeth and opening his mouth, “It was you who personally promised to give Xiao Hu money for his injuries.”

"Do you want to go back on your word"

Fang Jinshi originally wanted to cure Zong Hu's elder brother's injury as soon as possible, but after hearing Yan'er sister say a few words for her, she was forced by this family to jump into the river to prove her innocence.

A little flame started to burn inside her.

The Zong family is a huge mess, she wants to pull Wang Yan'er out of the fire, but the key to getting out of this mess lies with Zong Tiger brother.

After all, he was the eldest son of the main family, his responsibilities and younger siblings were different from others.

If we don't want to completely disappoint the family members, it will be difficult to get Zong Hu to agree to leave the Zong family and start his own.

Therefore, Fang Jinshu changed her strategy. She would use this money to make Zong Hu wake up and see clearly who the real people and demons are around him.

“When will I no longer be able to keep my word”

You ask for forty to fifty taels of silver, are you not afraid that your appetite will be too big and you'll burst

Even if I had that much money, I wouldn't give you that much.

"Am I looking like I have 'easy target' written all over my face"

"Forty or fifty taels, you could buy six or seven people at the slave market and bring them back. You really are bold to ask."

When Old Man Zong uttered the sum of money, the people around him immediately erupted in a cacophony of chatter.

Now that Fang Jinshi had said this, they all nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Zong Hu's arm isn't made of gold. Why does treating a wound cost forty or fifty taels of silver"

"I've never seen this much money in my life."

"Last time, Er Mao broke his leg. His family scraped together seven thousand yuan and not only cured his leg but also had some money left over."

Haven't you noticed Old Master Zong is seeing that the Second House, Zong Yu, is living a good life and wants to swindle them out of a fortune.

They haven't done this kind of thing before.

"Didn't they say that Zong Lao Er spent too much money on his studies, and they needed to repay the debt It makes sense to ask for money after all, because it's not easy for anyone to raise a scholar."

"What do you mean by that Isn't the second son of Lao Er their own flesh and blood Do they have to repay debts even for raising their own child" A woman couldn't help but retort to the men.

This was also what she said when she heard Fang Jinshu and Zong's family arguing last time, only then did she realize.

It's true that having children is meant to help with aging, but I haven't heard of raising a son for the purpose of education only to have his daughter-in-law and grandchildren repay you in the end.

They act like they're not even related.

The old man was flushed with embarrassment as he was ridiculed by the people around him. He had lived a long life, but he had never been so humiliated before.

"What's wrong with needing forty or fifty taels of silver These days are harsh and dry, do you really think things are the same as they used to be"

The prices of food in town have all tripled, not to mention the price of medicine.

My grandson broke his arm and he will need to stay home for a long time to recover. He can't work while he's recovering, so he won't have anything to eat or drink.

"Could it be that he only needs to take medicine and see a doctor, and he can recover without eating or drinking!"

"And my great-grandson, who was just born recently, the whole family, from young to old, relies on my grandson to support them. If he falls, can our family even survive"

“If it weren’t for helping this girl go up the mountain to find someone, my little tiger would still be fine. We wouldn’t have to come to her for money.”

Fellow villagers, count this up carefully. Do you still think I'm asking for too much

The villagers gradually fell silent, and after a while, someone started nodding their heads.

"I think what Elder Zong said is right. Zong Hu is the pillar of their family, and if he falls, it will be hard for his entire family to get by."e Zhu had figured out why the county magistrate refused to sell it to them.However, she surmised that the relationships within this place were somehow related to the drought.She sold 100 jin of medici...
