hout being overly formal, leaving people with a very comfortable feeling.He nodded. “Since you’re here, come in with me.”Fang Jinshu was a bit surprised. In the original owner's memory, people here al...Fāng Jǐnxuě was waiting for just that sentence.

"This is natural. I believe in your and your wife's character, but I don't trust grandma and grandpa as well as uncle and aunt."

"I don't want to get into trouble for saving one person and have my life turned upside down. Now, people come to my house every other day demanding money or things, harassing me constantly."

Fang Jinshi just stopped short of naming names when she criticized the people in the old house. Over so many years, hasn't this family been the only one to do such things in the village

It was only because Fang Jinxiu had a strong attitude that they eventually backed down and stopped going up the mountain to demand food and drink from Zong Yu's family.

It's understandable that people have this concern.

Now almost everyone in the village is talking about Fang Jinshu and her family. The reputation of several people in Old Zong's family has been completely ruined.

A drought and famine exposed everyone's true colors.

Zhongping's face was very ugly. He couldn't stand the pointing and gossiping from the villagers. He leaned into Old Zhong's ear and whispered.

"Father, Little Tiger's just a burden staying at home anyway. His arm is like that, it's definitely ruined, and I'm afraid he won't survive."

"Why don't we just let them split up naturally, taking advantage of the situation That way, there's a legitimate reason for them to fend for themselves and avoid people in the village blaming us for Xiao Hu's death later."

Zong Hu, lying on the ground feigning unconsciousness, was actually awake. Hearing such cruel words coming from his own father's mouth, he was instantly chilled to the bone.

Two lines of clear tears silently flowed from the corner of his eye, disappearing into his hair.

Fang Jinxiu's eyes were incredibly cold. While doing this was cruel to Zong Hu Ge, forcing him to face the ugly, selfish, and ruthless side of his own kin, it must have been deeply painful for him as a blood relative.

He was different from Zong Yu. Zong Yu had never been favored in this family since he was a child, and he didn't have any feelings for other members of the Zong family.

So no matter how cruel and heartless they were to him, he would at most only feel disappointed and angry, he would never feel heartbroken or shed tears.

Zong Hu was different. He grew up being pampered by the elders, Zong Lao and Wu Lao Tai. Although his biological father was useless and couldn't be relied upon, he treated Zong Hu with a semblance of kindness because he was the eldest son.

He only suffered an arm injury, and all the family members who had been kind to him before suddenly turned their faces into selfish and cruel ones. For silver and food, they didn't hesitate to let him fend for himself.

For Zong Hu, this was a truly cruel act.

Wang Yaner stood up and looked directly at Elder Zong, "I want to split the family from you."

Since marrying into the Zong family, she had been somewhat fearful of Old Master Zong. Now, for Zong Hu and her son, Wang Yan'er overcame all her inner fears and stared resolutely at Old Master Zong's eyes.

"Grandpa, you don't want to care about Uncle Zong Hu's life and death, but I do."

"Please, for the sake of the blood that still flows in him from your ancestral lineage, let us split our family apart."

"When the time comes, whether Brother Zong Hu lives or dies, I won't blame you, nor will I hate you."

With Wang Yan'er having said it all, Old Zong seemed to find no reason to refuse. After all, having a legitimate reason to get rid of these two burdens was still their own proposal. Even if something went wrong later, the blame should not fall on him, right

The old patriarch pretended to be troubled, “But Yan’er, even if I agree to let you two split up the family, what will you eat and drink At least at home we can take care of you and your son.”

When even at the end, she could still hear Elder Zong saying such insincere words, Wang Yan'er really wanted to vomit.

"As long as Grandpa agrees to divide the family property, we can take care of ourselves, and you don't have to worry about it."

Zong Lao pondered for a moment, then let out a sigh.

"Since you two children insist on separating, I will grant your wishes."

Wang Yaner heard Old Zong loosen his mouth and her eyes lit up, "You agreed"

"Grandpa nodded, "Indeed. What else could we do Little Tiger is my grandson after all. Please take good care of him."

Fang Jinshui felt something was amiss. Just now, Elder Zong seemed furious, but now he suddenly became amiable and even put on a facade of kindness.

Something's wrong.

"Whether he is taken care of properly has nothing to do with you. After all, Zong Hu has been here for so long that not only was he not taken care of, but he's now on the verge of death."

"Look at you, barely hanging on. Surely we can do no worse than you've already endured"

Fang Jinshu directly and mercilessly tore through his facade, reminding everyone that Zong Hu's miserable state was a direct result of what happened under the hands of the old man Zong.

He can't just shirk responsibility with a few words.is brow furrowing immediately.Fang Jinshu at that moment showed a look of unease, thinking to herself that Fu Ming's Buddha Jumping Over the Wall must be very much liked by the emperor. Sure enough, w...
