e rare nowadays.Only Fang Jinshi called out for a long time but no one came out. Finally, a strange woman walked out of the main hall.Fang Jinxiu stared at her in surprise and asked, “May I ask who yo...Fang Jinxiu shrank into Zong Yu's arms, afraid. "Auntie is so scary,"

"You said I hit you yesterday, who saw it" she said coldly, clearly unafraid.

The Zong family lived on a hillside, with absolutely no neighbors.

Yesterday, the Liu family tried to pick a fight with the two brothers while they were away from home. To avoid being seen, she went to a remote area to send a message and call people back. On her way up the mountain, she deliberately avoided the villagers.

Fang Jinshu's question left Liu speechless. She stammered and couldn't find anyone to vouch for her visit yesterday.

Suddenly, she saw Mu Shi following behind and quickly pointed at her and shouted.

"Mu Yunhe! Mu Yunhe, come here quickly to testify for me, I didn't come yesterday!"

Fang Jinxiu was speechless. How could the couple from the eldest branch of the Zong family, with their intelligence, have bullied the Zong Yu family for so many years

Mu paused for a moment, then naturally walked to her son and daughter-in-law's side.

How could she possibly help Liu Shi bully her own daughter-in-law

Mu hid behind her son, replying with three words, "I don't know."

Liu Shi didn't expect that she had actually learned to lie, and was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

"You, you despicable person, have you even learned to lie"

"Didn't you grow up reading the classics Weren't they supposed to teach you how to lie"

"For protecting this little wretch, are you living up to all the great principles you were taught as a child"

The woman from the Liu family was very vulgar, spewing insults like "cheapskate" and "little wretch" left and right. She completely failed to notice how dark both Zong Yu and Zong Bai's faces had become.

Zong Pingkang saw that the atmosphere was getting increasingly wrong. Ever since Fang Jinxiu married into the second house, the people in the second house had long since been difficult to control as before.

Zong Bai, this kid, even said he didn't want to take the imperial examinations anymore. They couldn't threaten them into compromise with filial piety and reputation anymore.

Zongping came today only wanting to cheat them out of some money by using the scar on Liu's face, but he didn't intend to fight with Zongyu.

His large, grid-like body, anyone who sees it won't be afraid. He can punch a wild boar to death with one punch, let alone himself.

"Enough, enough, just shut up!" He desperately tugged at Liu's clothes, trying to get her to be quiet.

Li was in a bad mood, so how could she just listen to him and shut up

Not only did she not stop talking, but after scolding him, she also brazenly reached out her hand to Zongyu for money.

"I have such serious injuries on my face, you have to compensate me! I need to see a doctor!"

Zong Yu coldly opened the courtyard gate and walked out. The arrogant aura of the couple instantly wilted by half. As he took step after step closer, they retreated in fear, two steps back at a time.

"What do you want to do"

"Listen here, I'm your father's own brother! If you dare lay a hand on me, the whole village will point fingers at you and call you out for your cowardice."

"You... you... you, don't come any closer!" Zong Pingkang saw that not only was he unthreatened by his words, but he had even picked up the stick from the door.

Suddenly, she was so frightened that she was speechless.

Fang Jinxiu was delighted. It turned out that these people from the Zong family were so afraid of their reputation, they were as timid as rats, yet they dared to come and extort money repeatedly.

"What are you doing You beat your aunt like this and not only do you not admit it, but you also want to continue beating people, is that right"

"If you don't have money, you don't have it. We don't have to make things difficult for you."

"Nephew, you weren't this violent before. Let's talk things out. We can even give you money!"

Zongping was so frightened that he grabbed Lius and ran down the mountain.

Zongyu was dumbfounded. He had just picked up the stick because it happened to be one that flew out when he chopped wood last night. He casually picked it up and tossed it back into the yard, not expecting to scare his uncle and aunt like this.

Fang Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh. She was just about to get angry and hit Zong Yu because of his meaning.

Unexpectedly, the silly thing just bent down to pick up a piece of firewood and scared the person back.

"Run, ran" Zong Bai was full of surprise.

"This is the first time I've ever seen Uncle and Aunt get sent away so easily."

Fang Jinshu patted Zong Bo's shoulder and said, "As long as you don't mention the imperial examination in front of people from now on, they won't be able to do anything to us, and they won't dare to anger your elder brother."

Zong Bai's eyes darkened, thinking he had concealed it well, and hummed in response.

Zongyu turned to look at his younger brother, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Fang Jinshui saw their faces one by one turning pale, and she sighed helplessly at this honest family.

"You really aren't going to let Zongbo take the imperial examinations, are you"oint their sister-in-law's trust. This management role has to be done well, and they have to make the villagers wholeheartedly accept it. They can no longer question their sister-in-law or her decisio...
