Chapter 33: What a Joke
a clingy little bird around him anymore. Since they had already torn up their facade, it was better to just face each other as they truly were.Anyway, he wasn't planning on actually marrying her.She t...Zongyu was completely stunned. He remembered a similar incident last winter when he had hunted a fox with excellent fur.
Survival in the winter is already difficult, and their whole family was relying on this fox pelt to bring back some silver to get through the cold months.
Then, Old Lady Wu and her elder brother chased him all the way to town. As soon as he sold the furs and the silver in his hand was still warm, they swarmed him, crying and making a scene on the street to get their money back.
Even after giving out silver, he was still scolded as cold-blooded and ruthless, they said he looked fierce and like a bandit.
Everyone is turning black and white, saying he bullies the elders at home, and a barrage of harsh words like frost hit him all over.
Compared to being attacked and wounded by ferocious beasts while hunting in the mountains, he thought such vicious accusations were nothing. They wouldn't cause his skin to crack or his blood to flow.
It's nothing to care about.
Today, someone told him that hurtful words can wound the heart, and no one had ever said that to him before.
He was the eldest son, his mother and younger siblings depended on him to survive. He had to be strong, he couldn't give up.
After saying this, Ke Fang Jinxiu felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, followed by a fullness that was both overwhelming and painful.
Hearing these words, I felt a chill run down my spine from head to toe. My heart was filled with rage. Just now, all those emotions vanished instantly with Fang Jinshu's single sentence.
"You little brat, get out of my way."
"You are meddling in our affairs, instigating my nephew to turn against his own family."
"Everyone can see right through your schemes, you just want to grab all the silver from my nephew!"
"Tsk! You venomous little thing, what qualifications do you have to enter our clan"
Zong Pingkang acted with confidence, and scolded Fang Jinshu together.
She's not as honest and easy to fool as Zong Yu.
Fan Jinshi took a step forward and let out a snort.
"Aren't you just after money"
She held the two taels of silver in her hand, tossing it up and down. Zong Pingkang's eyes never left the silver as he nodded frantically.
"Give it to me!"
"You Didn't you just say you wanted us to pay to save Little Tiger"
"Children are innocent, and we can save them. But let's be clear upfront: divorce is divorce. We have no reason to interfere with your entire family's lives, their food, shelter, or anything else."
"My husband is capable of earning money. Even during this drought, everyone is struggling, but he's kind and hasn't spared you."
"If it weren't for him, you wouldn't even know if your family would be alive today."
But now you have turned things upside down, claiming he is unfilial and heartless.
"Ask yourself, how could someone truly heartless and coldblooded care about your lives to this day"
Zongping Kang hurriedly denied in a loud voice, "I didn't twist the facts!"
He is a descendant of the Zong family, shouldn't filial piety to his family be his duty
"You can't just care about your own lives, even with money you won't help us out You'd be happy to see us struggle and fail"
Fang Jinshu's life, the first time she saw Xiang Zongping, thought this man was so shameless and unreliable.
"Are we supposed to keep pouring money into your bottomless pit"
"Can't go on That's the funniest joke I've heard all year."
"With your family of five, my parents-in-law, and your brother-in-law's family of three, that makes a total of ten people. Besides the elderly grandparents and your daughter-in-law with her child, all of you are able-bodied and healthy. There is no reason why so many people should rely on my husband alone for support!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone watching the commotion was stunned.
I didn't expect the truth to be like this.
Fang Jinshi walked up to the uncle who had just stood up for Zong Ping, and loudly questioned him, "I ask you, sir, is it fair that they treat my husband like this"is is wonderful! It seems like everyone in the village will be indebted to you. We'll be able to get through the winter thanks to you."Village Head Wang didn't care about the details, he immediately p...
