explanation at all.The village life was simple to begin with, and everyone in the community was very interested in this kind of thing. They gossiped just like housewives back home.Hu Ai-lan stamped he...Hu Ai-lan's appearance was utterly disheveled. She had soiled herself with a large pile of feces, and the stench emanating from her body could be detected from three miles away.

Jade Lily took her to the latrine and instructed her on how to compost before saying she had other business in the vegetable patch and leaving.

Leave her alone there to pick through dung and make fertilizer.

Hu Ailan was furious. She didn't want to work, but she was afraid of losing her job. Fang Jinshi kept making up excuses about why she wasn't qualified to be a housekeeper.

She got angry for a while, but she gritted her teeth and started working. When she was picking up dung, she almost fainted from the smell. She still gritted her teeth and finished the work that Jade Lotus had assigned her, going from house to house in the village to collect sewage water and then carrying it to this latrine pit.

During that time, she also wanted to slack off. Jade Lotus, that dead girl, came over soon after and sent her water, using the excuse of delivering water to supervise her work.

Each time the water delivered is still only those two small mouthfuls.

At lunchtime, she wasn't even given lunch.

Finally, Hu Ai-lan had arrived at the evening meal. When she saw that plump roasted fish on the Zong family's table, her mouth watered.

I'm so hungry, I'm so tired!

She really wants to rush over now and grab the whole fish, gnawing on it until it's clean, then follow it up with a bowl of steaming hot rice.

Zong Bai's words made her suddenly come to her senses, not knowing when Fang Jinxiu had already walked in front of her.

"Fang Jinshi, I've finished all the work you gave me, and I did a great job. Let me in, I want to eat!"

Fang Jinshi deliberately stood in the doorway, looking at her in surprise, "What Are you coming in to eat"

"No way."

Hearing her say no, Hu Ai-lan was so angry she almost cried.

"Why not I've worked all day, and you made the villagers work, even providing them with a meal at noon. Why shouldn't I get one too!"

Fang Jinshu smiled and jokingly asked, "Are you here to work for me You're going to be the daughter-in-law of the second room of the family in the future, you're completely doing chores for your own family!"

Hu Ai-lan glared and nodded. "Fine, I'm doing housework for my own family, so I'm eating the food cooked in my own home. What right do you have to stop me"

Fang Jinshi shook her head again. “No, no, no, this isn't the Zong family’s meal. The fish on the table, and all the food including grain, are what I traded for today selling herbs.”

"When you want to eat, wait until you marry into this family and are in charge. Then you can decide how these resources are used."

Hu Ai-lan's face was filled with shock, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Oh, come now," Fang Jinshu scolded. "Why are you crying Why are you so reluctant to do your own chores"

“You can't even handle this, how will you impress anyone when you marry into the family I'm only saying this for your own good.”

"You must be tired after a long day. Go home early and take a good shower to clean yourself up, then get some rest." Fang Jinshu covered her nose and glanced at her with a suggestive look.

Hu Ailan clenched her fists tightly, watching Fang Jinshi slam the courtyard door shut right in front of her.

The aroma of food kept wafting from under the door. Hu Ai Lan was furious, but she was strong enough to hold back her anger and turn around to go down the mountain.

Elder Three also only returned a little earlier than her. After returning home, he saw his wife bustling about the kitchen with a big belly, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"How come you're cooking Where's that girl, Hu Ailan"

He shi's face was full of sarcasm. "She, she went to dream of being a high-born lady in the prestigious family."

"I told you so, this girl looks like trouble from the start. There's no way she'd stay at home and listen to us."

He told Zong Lao San everything that happened yesterday in detail.

Zong Lao San's face was as dark as thunder. Looking at his mother, Wu Shi, who had been bedridden for days, ignored by everyone, her mental state deteriorating day by day, he saw that today she even wet herself.

The house had been stuffy all day, with a stale, unpleasant odor.

He said, "The old lady now won't let anyone touch her except for that girl Hu Ai Lan. I want to change her but she refuses."

Master Three slammed the table in anger. As if on cue, Hu Ailan returned, her appearance dishevelled and her face etched with exhaustion.

Seeing Old Master Zong and his wife standing in the yard, I instinctively greeted them.

"Uncle Three is back."

Only after she had finished speaking did she remember what it was, and her whole body went stiff.

She went to Zongyu's brother's house today, she didn't seem to greet He's family.

Hu Ai-lan slowly turned around, meeting Zong Lao San's bloodthirsty gaze. Her heart skipped a beat.

"Three, Third Uncle, you... all of you haven't eaten dinner yet, have you I... I'll go make it right now. You wait a little longer, it'll be ready soon."e firmly placed on him.This would be a great disadvantage for him in his future succession to the throne."Father, your son is willing to lead troops to Xuanzhou to quell the bandit uprising in Mount S...
