roads at night is a bit creepy, but several girls unexpectedly moved quickly, and none of them uttered a complaint.It was already dark in the morning, and Mu with Zong Yulian paced anxiously back and...Mrs. Mu nodded and chatted for a few more sentences before feeling sleepy and returning to her room to rest. Fang Jinshu, however, had no intention of resting.

The couple looked at each other, Fang Jinshu saw that he didn't plan to rest either, wondering if the two had thought of something together.

"I'm going to visit Brother Zong Hu," Fang Jinxiu said.

Zong Yu immediately smiled, "Me too."

"It seems we both thought of the same thing."

"Do you also think that your grandfather would take Hu Ailan over while we're away"

Zongyu didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes darkened, "He wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity."

Fang Jinxiu noticed that his expression was somewhat unusual, and she guessed in her heart that Elder Zong had probably done this many times before.

She held onto Zongyu's big hand and squeezed it in her palm.

"Don't worry, this time I'll be with you to protect Mom and your younger siblings. No one will ever have the chance to bully them again."

Zong Yu nodded, and the two went to Zong Hu's house together and knocked on the door.

Wang Yan'er had just put her child to sleep when she heard a knock on the door. She quickly turned her head to look at Zong Hu. Zong Hu didn't need his wife to remind him; he had already walked to the door.

"Who" he whispered, Zong Yu answering with a sound outside.

"Zong Hu ge, it's me and Jinxiu."

Zong Hu, upon hearing this, quickly opened the door with his wife.

After moving out of the old house, their married life went on fairly well with the help of Fang Jinshi and Zong Yu. Zong Hu found Wang, the village head, to discuss matters and got three acres of wasteland marked off at the foot of the mountain.

A small portion of seeds was distributed in Liangzhong Village. Fang Jinshi also gave some more seed for planting vegetables. Zong Hu cleaned the land and quickly planted the seeds.

Wang Yan'er was at home taking care of the children and household chores. She wasn't idle either, learning from Fang Jinshu, she created a small vegetable patch around the house. She planted some seeds, and some of the faster-growing ones had already sprouted a harvest for them to eat.

Although they had little savings and lived a meager life, their hearts were light and carefree.

Work hard and you reap the rewards, become self-sufficient, so no one will bother them anymore, living that kind of life where you work yourself to death and in the end can't even feed your children.

They were deeply grateful to Zong Yu and Fang Jinxiu. Seeing the two come over late at night, they didn't show any impatience, but instead were incredibly enthusiastic.

"Splendid! You're here! Come, come quickly, sit down."

"I'm going to get you some water."

Wang Yan'er hurried to get things ready, Fang Jinshi hurriedly motioned for her to be quieter.

"The little tiger is asleep. You be quiet, don't wake your son."

"Let's go to the kitchen and talk."

Zong Hu and his wife nodded, and the four of them went to the kitchen. Zong Hu lit a torch outside to illuminate it.

"Ah Yu, Jin Xiu, what brings you two here so late"

Fang Jinshu nodded, then hesitated for a moment.

Brother Zong Hu has been very busy these days. He just moved to a new house, and he's clearing land, tilling the soil, fetching water for irrigation, and also needs to go home from time to time to look after Sister Yan'er and her two children.

She was a little hesitant to speak up.

But besides Brother Zong Hu, she had no other trustworthy person to confide in except Zong Yu.

Wang Yan'er saw Fang Jinshi hesitating to speak, so she quickly said.

"What are you being so formal with us for Just say what's on your mind, and if there's anything we can do to help, just ask."

Zong Hu probably saw Fang Jinxiu's concerns and said, "Yes, if you have anything to say, just tell me. We're almost done with the work in the fields recently."

"I'll have a few days free coming up. Is there anything you need help with"

When Fang Jinshi heard Zong Hu say this, she finally felt relieved. She couldn't let their family affairs delay other people's important work in planting.

"Just finish your work, I'm really afraid you guys will delay the field work because of my family matters."

"Brother Zong Hu, my brother and I will be heading to the county town tomorrow. It may take several days for us to return."

Zong Hu heard this and roughly guessed the purpose of A Yu's couple's visit. He patted his chest and said.

"Don't worry, we'll take good care of your home and Aunt Two."

Fang Jinshi knew that asking Zong Hu Ge for help, he would definitely not refuse. The difficulty was that they had just gotten out from under Lao Zong's hand.

Uncle Zong Hu has feelings for Old Master Zong too, so he asked him to help stop Old Master Zong from entering their home. I wonder if Uncle Zong Hu will feel uncomfortable with this.

"Big brother, Hu Ailan was taken home by grandpa and even publicly claimed that she is the granddaughter-in-law recognized by the family."

We are worried that, with both of us away from home, Grandpa might bring Hu Ailan over to cause a scene.

As soon as she mentioned Old Master Zong, Zong Hu's face visibly stiffened.do with him Keep him as a petZhao Xingzhou saw Fang Jinxiu push the deed of sale back with a disdainful expression, his heart filled with anger and resentment.Heaven knows how much he decided to write...
