s occasion, their hands clutching water buckets. Some men even brought their entire household water tanks, just to carry back as much water as possible.The village head, seeing this, laughed and scold...Zongyu held the person in his arms. His wife's question was too profound, he didn't know how to answer it.

"Sure."

Fāng Jǐnxiù didn't get much comfort after hearing this. She also knew that asking Zōngyù this question was putting him in a difficult position.

"Nevermind, let's talk about something else."

"Do you know that Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhao are getting a divorce"

Zong Yu nodded.

Fan Jinshu slightly raised her head in surprise, "You know"

"Well, Zhao's aunt hasn't been in the village for several days, and Tie Shu and Wang Shu have looked a bit off these past few days."

I didn't expect this rough guy to be so perceptive.

"Yeah, I'm a little worried about Uncle Wang and Tiezhu."

"Before Hu Ailan came, Zhao Shern didn't have such a strong opinion of me. Ever since she arrived, she has started to harbor resentment towards me."

Aunt Zhao wasn't a deep thinker; she was probably just being used.

Zong Yu lowered his head to glance at the woman in his arms.

"Aren't you and Zhao's wife at odds"

Fang Jinxiu smiled, "It's not for her. Do you think I said this because of Zhao Ma"

Zongyu squeezed his daughter-in-law's soft palm, "If she wasn't in the village, you would have fewer troubles."

He didn't have much sympathy for Zhao Shn, but anyone who came to trouble his wife best stay as far away as possible.

"I used to think Zhao's aunt was bothersome and didn't deserve a man like Wang Uncle."

"Envious, opportunistic, short-sighted, someone like her around Uncle Wang would only bring him trouble and hold him back."

"But the things of this world cannot be judged by appearances alone."

Though Zhao's Auntie has done many foolish things, none of them have harmed her family. Her intentions were always for the good of her home.

This time, when Zhao's aunt left, Wang Shushu and Tiezhu both seemed disheartened and listless. If she truly was useless, how could Wang Shushu and Tiezhu miss her so much

Zong Yu nodded thoughtfully, he didn't care what kind of person Zhao Shen was.

When Fang Jinshu spoke, Zong Yu kept thinking about what she meant by these words.

"Do you want to find out who is using Zhao's aunt"

Fang Jinshu raised her head and lightly kissed her husband's lips.

"My Ah Yu is so smart."

As the saying goes, it's better to demolish ten temples than to break one marriage.

After decades of marriage, Wang Shu and Zhao Shen's relationship just ended like this It's not worth it.

"If only I could make Zhao's Aunt see the true face of the person who is using her, perhaps she would let go of her hatred for me and we could live in peace from now on."

She wanted to pull back after just one kiss, but Zong Yu didn't hear a word his wife said. He only held her waist with a large hand and pulled her back when she leaned back.

With the other hand, he gripped Fang Jinshu's jaw, preventing her from moving.

Zongyu's gaze was like a famished wolf, yet also like the turbulent undercurrents beneath a placid sea. The desire stirred within him was not in the slightest bit concealed.

It was just there, blatantly circling on her face.

Fang Jinxiu's face flushed red, her heart pounding.

She was a modern woman, yet she felt embarrassed by the gaze of an ancient man.

In the end, she couldn't help but raise her hand to cover Zong Yu's eyes, which were so overwhelmingly intense.

"Daughter-in-law." Zong Yu spoke, his voice hoarse.

Hearing this, Fang Jinshu's heart skipped a beat.

She had originally planned to marry Zong Yu after the manor was built. But the drought showed no sign of ending, and with a natural disaster looming, every day for Jinxiu's future was uncertain.

Perhaps it was the atmosphere, or maybe someone started it, but the temperature inside the cave began to rise steadily.

Since Xiaocao came, Zongyu hasn't been intimate with his wife much.

This time, he held on for a long time, refusing to let go. It wasn't until Zong Yu was about to lose control that he pushed Fang Jinxiu away.

This time, Fang Jinshi did not follow the man's wishes and step back.

A steadfast glint shone in her hazy eyes. She grabbed Zongyu's arm with her backhand, her snow-white skin and the man's tanned, muscular arms intertwined together—a sight that would make anyone blush.

Zong Yu's eyes widened in surprise.

"Splendid." The voice held back a hint of restrained emotion.

"Let go."

"If you do that, I can't help myself."

Fang Jinshi lifted her flushed cheeks, her eyes sparkling with allure.

Then don't endure it.

"A-Yu, I want to be your true wife."r, but he was indeed curious about raising such two mischievous little sprites.Especially that concealed crossbow."Let them in, do not stop them."He walked towards the front hall, and the steward of t...
