Chapter 449 What do you want us to do?

Even though they were already home now.She whispered, "Zhongyu, let's talk this through. Please put me down first.""I am not injured."She didn't speak, and that was fine. But the moment she did, Zong...Arguments are pointless. Getting your mother-in-law upset will only make the whole family look like a joke.

"Mother, please don't get angry. Your daughter-in-law is not made of tofu, she can't be driven away by their few words."

Fang Jinshu gave Yulian a wink, signaling her to help Mu Shi to the side.

The issue with the ancestral home of the Zong family should indeed be resolved. We can't keep letting them pop up and pick on their own family endlessly.

She looked up at Lady Wu and Hu Ai Lan.

The patriarch passed away, and Zong Pingkang was also arrested and imprisoned. Even though the verdict hasn't come down, it is estimated that he will not be able to return.

Zong Laosan was a timid and fearful man, he would definitely not cause any waves. He would be very easy to appease and settle.

Being old and with her husband gone, Madam Wu simply couldn't muster the energy to stir up any trouble anymore.

All these people in this room are easy to deal with, as long as Hu Ailan doesn't interfere.

Fan Jinshu's eyes rolled, and she walked to the face of Elder Zong San.

"Uncle Three, I haven't congratulated you and Aunt Three on having a child yet."

"Logically speaking, we juniors should also give some gifts to express our goodwill."

"After all, I'm the daughter-in-law of the Zong family and can be considered half a member. We are family, so how can an outsider meddle in our affairs"

She spoke as she pulled out a silver ingot from her bosom, weighing five taels, and stuffed it into the hand of Elder Zong's third son.

Zhong Bo and Yu Lian were astonished to see their sister-in-law return all the money they had lent her.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you hear how your Uncle Three just slandered us How can you still give him silver!"

Her third uncle is making a fuss just to extort money from their family. Who doesn't know that

Sister-in-law, you're usually so smart, how come you made such a blunder this time

At the moment Fang Jinxiu slipped the silver into his hand, Zong Lao San was also a little incredulous. Their family had been feuding with Lao Er's family for so long, and they had long known that this girl was a tough and ruthless character.

It's hard to get any favors from her.

This time it was so easy, Elder Three hesitated to take it. His hand hung in mid-air for a long time before putting the silver into his pocket.

But refuted Yulian with his mouth.

"You have a say here, you dead girl"

"Your grandfather passed away, your elder brother was arrested by the officials, and now this whole family depends on me. The second house is so wealthy now, it's not a big deal to help out your Uncle Three, is it"

Yu Lian retorted without anger, "Back then, Grandpa had all the family's wealth and grain in his hands. You weren't short of money either, Third Uncle, so you couldn't even afford to give Grandpa a proper burial"

"Are you still coming to our house"

Actually, Zong Lao San was even more stingy than Zong Lao Da. He had been neglected at home for so many years, and finally got his chance to take control on this day. When it came to money, he valued it more than anyone else.

But Zong Lao San also has a very obvious drawback, he is cowardly.

Actually, there was another reason why Fang Jinshu suddenly changed her mind and gave him money. Although Zong Lao San was also greedy and foolish, he was very fond of his third aunt, He Shi.

He wasn't beyond saving, at least he wasn't as deranged as Old Master Zong and his uncle.

Fang Jinshi didn't want to completely sever ties either. An eye for an eye would get them nowhere. If she constantly suppressed the people from the old house, who knew what kind of reputation her family would have in the future.

After all, Zong Bai needs to study.

Instead of constantly suppressing him, wouldn't it be better to gather your third uncle and have him thoroughly manage the old house, so that he stops causing them trouble

As long as Old Master Three remains under her control, the people in the old house will no longer be able to trouble her from today onwards.

"Jade Lotus," Fang Jinshi gave her younger sister-in-law a look. Although Jade Lotus was resentful, she was very obedient. Fang Jinshi didn't let her speak, so she just kept her mouth shut angrily.

Elder Three saw this and still had a hint of smugness, but also felt puzzled. How did Fang Jinshi suddenly become so kind as to speak up for him

Also, make Yulian keep quiet.

Beside her, Hu Ailan's eyes darted back and forth, unable to fathom what Fang Jinshu was trying to do. She couldn't figure out her intentions.

"Uncle Three, I know the burden of this entire family's livelihood is about to fall on your shoulders. You must be under a lot of pressure. If I offer you an opportunity to make money that could alleviate the stress of supporting your family, would you be interested"

Zong Lao San and his daughter-in-law exchanged glances. Although He shi rarely spoke, she was not stupid.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to live in the family for so long without being favored.

Zong Laosan was undecided, but He Shi suddenly spoke.

"Niece-in-law, we want this opportunity, what do you want us to do" bamboo shoot stir-fry, it was quite unique and delicious, but it didn't leave him awestruck.Who could tell him that in just a matter of two or three days, the dishes on their dinner table had changed...
