houses, but only two or three responded.He still answered with the door closed.You can see how bad the situation in town is now.Fāng Jǐnxiù couldn't help but wonder, if Hei Tǔ Zhèn was in such disarr...Hu Ai-lan never expected that Fang Jinxiu's request for her to come the next day meant she wasn't inviting her to move in. Instead, she was asking her to do some work.

Hu Ai-lan stood in the courtyard, watching as she carried a pile of tools for work and threw them at her feet.

"What are you just standing there for You'll be doing all this work from now on."

Hu Ailan's face flushed with shame and anger. She felt played. She knew Fang Jinshu would never be so kind as to step down and let her marry into the family, nor would she hand over control so willingly.

"Are you mocking me With so many people working at home, do I even need to get my hands dirty"

Fang Jinshi let out a sneer, “You only see the crowds, but have you not seen that the mountaintop is also vast”

"It's impossible to manage by just relying on others. As the head of the family, you should be clear about everything happening within your domain. Without personally experiencing it yourself, when your subordinates come to you with problems in the future, you probably won't even understand them, let alone be able to solve them."

Hu Ailan was half-convinced, but what Fang Jinshu said did make sense.

At this time, Yu Lian walked past them.

"Sister-in-law, are you still going with me to pick manure today Our family's crops haven't been growing very well lately. Didn't you say it was the crucial time for fertilizing them"

At the mention of "manure," Hu Ai-lan instinctively frowned. She knew that farmers in the countryside used manure as fertilizer, but she hadn't dealt with such dirty work for many years.

If she ends up smelling like **, how could she possibly get close to Brother Zong Yu

Fang Jinshui glanced at Hu Ailan and deliberately shouted.

"Hey, some people just can't handle even the slightest bit of wealth and prosperity. They won't do this little task, yet they still want to be in charge of the whole family and everyone in the village."

Provocation really works on Hu Ailan. The person who was still hesitating seemed to wake up instantly.

Hu Ai-lan hastily snatched the farming tools from Fang Jinxiu's hands and took Yu Lian's arm, affectionately saying.

"Yu Lian, let's go together."

"In the future, if there's anything difficult happening at home, you can tell me, just like we used to."

If Fang Jinshu hadn't already said hello to the whole family last night, Yu Lian really wanted to give her two white eyes right then and there.

It was someone who swore up and down that they wouldn't cause any trouble for their family, nor come to steal anyone away

All talk and no action, truly hypocritical.

Yulian smiled with her lips but not her eyes, "Alright, I'll definitely look for you later."

Hu Ai-lan was especially delighted. Previously, Yu Lian had been cold and aloof towards her, but today she was surprisingly amicable and willing to speak with her.

And he only paid attention to her, ignoring Fang Jinshu.

This is a good start. One day she will make the Zong family understand that Fang Jinshu is nothing, she can do what Hu Ai Lan can do, and even better.

Only after the two had left did Mu leave the room.

But the expression on her face was not as optimistic as Fang Jinshu's, "Jinshu, why do you torment her In the future, when she realizes what's going on, she will resent you again."

"Fang Jinxiu didn't care, "Mother, even if I did nothing, wouldn't she still hold a grudge against me"

"Don't worry, I have everything under control. Just take care of Dong'er and your own health. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Speaking of Dong'er, Mu shi to this day still cannot believe it.

"Could Dong'er really be related to Ayu This... wouldn't this be too much of a coincidence"

"I've actually heard your father-in-law mention it a few times before. He said that the ancestors of the Zong family weren't originally from Yemura. They migrated from somewhere else and settled here."

The Zong family has lived in Yemura for three generations. I really can't figure out who Dong'er could be related to.

Fang Jinxiu's medicinal water successfully identified the relationship between Dong'er and Zongyu. They are not father and son, but they do share a blood relation.

This result was quite unexpected for Fang Jinshi, but it also explained why they looked so similar and had the same birthmark.

Don said he had a vague recollection from his childhood. He recalled living in a huge mansion surrounded by servants attending to him.

"Mother, is it true that our ancestors were only a fallen literary family"

Fang Jinxiu's question stumped Mu. As an outsider, how much could she possibly know about the ancestral affairs of such a prominent family

Only Zong Lao, the old patriarch, could tell the ins and outs of his family's history through generations. Sadly, Zong Lao was driven to death by his own unfilial son.

"Forget it, we can't guess what it is even if we try. Let's figure this out another time."

Perhaps only by helping Dong’er find his family can we know what kind of relationship he has with the Zong family and Ah Yu.ld definitely offer up all the medicinal herbs in my possession!"After hearing her words, the portly old man's smile began to look a little unnatural, and his brow furrowed with embarrassment."You lit...
