Chapter 141 She Can’t Stay Forever

sides mending children's clothes."As Mu spoke, a bitter expression crossed his face.Fang Jinshi almost rolled her eyes again, it was the old woman from the Zong family once more. The precious treasure...After seeing Su Yusheng off, Fang Jinshu hurried to knock on Zong Bo's door.

"Zongyu, are you asleep I have something to tell you. Come out for a bit, okay"

She waited for a long time, there was no movement in the room, and no one came to open the door.

Could it be that Zongyu is already asleep

It's also possible. Digging a water channel up the mountain these days has been very tiring and exhausting, so it's perfectly normal to just fall asleep in bed after.

She comforted herself that way.

Just as she was about to step away, there was a creak, and the door suddenly swung open a crack.

Zong Bai awkwardly extended his head out.

"Sister-in-law, your brother is already asleep. You've also had a tiring day. Why don't you go back to rest first"

Fang Jinxiu was taken aback. Since Zong Bai wasn't asleep, would Zong Yu fall asleep so quickly

A trace of melancholy flashed in her eyes. Was Zong Yu angry Did he deliberately refuse to see her

From the moment he first met her, Zong Yu had always been accommodating to her requests, never once giving her a cold shoulder.

"Well, then you all get some rest. I'm going back now." Fang Jinshi's departing figure looked a little sad.

Seeing this, Zong Bai almost couldn't help but call the person back.

Only when Fang Jinshi's door was closed did he helplessly shut his own door and return to the bedside.

Looking at the older brother lying on his side, pretending to sleep with his face against the wall, was truly baffling.

"Big brother, you clearly haven't slept, why did you lie to your sister-in-law and say that you have"

"Your sister-in-law said she had something to tell you, but you didn't see her. She was so sad just now."

Zong Yu still kept his eyes closed and said nothing. Zong Bai, unable to bear it any longer, pulled him up.

"Big brother! Don't pretend to be asleep anymore, didn't you hear me Sister-in-law is very sad, you should hurry back and comfort her."

"Besides, you two haven't been married for very long, have you Why don't you go back to your own room and keep your wife company What are you doing here with me every day"

He really couldn't understand what his older brother was up to.

Doesn't he like his sister-in-law very much Even he can see that.

Zong Yu gazed downward, letting out a slight sigh.

"This isn't considered a proper marriage, and she didn't willingly agree to marry me."

She is a capable person, this mountain will not be able to hold her for long.

When he said this, Zong Yu’s tone was beyond words, full of melancholy. Zong Bai didn't expect his older brother to think like this, and he stood there dumbfounded for a long time.

He really wanted to retort, how could his sister-in-law possibly be the kind of person who would abandon them and leave.

But today, Su Yusheng's attitude towards her changed dramatically, from indifference to utmost respect. This was the best proof of what Big Brother had said.

"You're right, your sister-in-law is indeed different from the other women in the village."

From her bearing, she seemed to be well-educated.

"In terms of knowledge and experience, she even surpasses her own mother."

"And that superb medical skill, Yu Lian told me, Sister-in-law used silver needles to cure Su Yusheng."

"She was forced to be sold to my house by her parents for five taels of silver, yet how could she have a set of valuable silver needles"

"Her set of needles weighed more than five ounces."

"If her parents-in-law knew she had such skills, how could they have been willing to sell her for only five ounces of silver"

Zong Bai's brain was always at odds with his delicate and cute appearance. There were probably a hundred or so children who studied in Heitu Town.

He was the only one who studied for half a year and took a break for half a year, yet his grades remained consistently at the top of the academy.

At the age of nine, he passed the entrance examination for the boy student rank, which was a rare feat for a prodigy in Xizhou.

It's a pity that he was born into such humble circumstances. Blacksoil Town is remote, and his family lives deep in the mountains. He's practically been buried here.

Students with such good grades naturally have excellent minds.

The more the younger brother spoke, the dimmer Zongyu's eyes became.

"Do not mention these words in front of your sister-in-law."

"If she wants to say something, she will."

If she has the intention to leave, we needn't pursue the matter further.

"Sleep now, for you must rise early tomorrow."

After finishing his words, Zong Yu turned his back and closed his eyes again.

Zong Bai let out a helpless sigh. His older brother said on the surface that it wasn't necessary to investigate his sister-in-law's affairs, but in reality, wasn't he the one who most wanted to know everything about hernto the man's broad chest, her small hand moving unfaithfully on top."Don't worry, the situation is still under my control. As long as we can figure out the other party's intentions, we can find a so...
