Chapter 327: Thoughts Are Not Simple

ldn't dare to fool around with water. Without water to drink, people would die."Would you all be honest now"Don't forget what you all signed before going up the mountain. Anyone who disobeys Brother...At that time, Mu was quite worried. Even raising a cat or dog for two years would form a bond, let alone a person who had been by your side, caring and attentive all along.

She was so anxious that she drove both of her sons out to look for someone. As a result, Zongyu saw Hu Ailan who had gone missing in Xiahe Village.

On that day, the Sun family was holding a banquet. In a bright red wedding dress, Hu Ai-lan beamed with joy as she threw herself into the arms of another man.

Zong Bai saw this and was furious, wanting to go to the Sun family's place and make a scene. He wanted to find out Hu Ai Lan, this traitor, and have a good talk with her to see if she even had any heart.

They had raised her for two years, and during the time she went missing, her mother couldn't eat or drink. Her illness grew worse because she was worried about her.

Hu Ailan is really something, actually getting married to another man in Xiahe Village

I bet the missing money from their family was stolen by her!

Zongyu stopped his younger brother with a hand, and there was no anger on his face, only a sense of relief.

"Let her go. Tell mother when you get back that we didn't find anyone."

But Zong Bai couldn't swallow his anger. Back then, he was young and couldn't keep his thoughts to himself.

Ever since the two brothers came back, Mu had noticed that their youngest son's demeanor was off. When the eldest son wasn't around, she called him into the room and interrogated Zongbei until he confessed.

He was fuming, venting his anger as he spoke. He felt indignant for his older brother and his mother.

"Our family has been so good to her, this ungrateful wretch!"

Their family was already struggling financially. Since he and his younger sister were too young to earn money, and their mother was ill, the entire family depended on their eldest brother's hunting income to survive.

Hunting sometimes depends on luck. Even a renowned hunter might go a whole month without catching anything. Life isn't always easy, even for the best of us.

Moreover, my grandparents and my uncle and aunt always came demanding money and picking fights. Under these circumstances, having to raise another mouth like Hu Ailan made things even harder.

When Mu heard the truth, he was indeed furious at first and coughed up blood, almost unable to bear it.

The town clinic, upon seeing his mother's appearance, refused to treat her. Zong Yu carried his mother and walked for over ten miles through the night to reach the county town. He emptied their entire family fortune, including the tuition he had saved for Zong Bai for the next six months.

Finally, Mu's life was saved.

After this incident, Zong Yu told his mother never to try to arrange a marriage for him again. He had no intention of ever getting married in his life.

After the incident with Hu Ai-lan, the Mu family was also hit hard and for several years, they did not mention the matter of finding a wife for Zongyu again.

Until this year, she felt her time was running out and rekindled the idea, made up her mind to gamble one last time, and bought a wife.

At first, Mrs. Mu also had her own thoughts, thinking that with the deed of sale in hand, this daughter-in-law wouldn't run away again.

She just needs to be twice as nice to people, and she'll always have a daughter-in-law who won't disappoint her.

I didn't expect to bring home such a treasure right away.

Mu Shiqi's head spun, and her steps stumbled. Zong Bai saw this and hurriedly supported his mother. He hadn't forgotten what happened when Hu Ailan ran away – it nearly killed his mother.

The older brother suffered a great deal to save his mother.

He absolutely loathed Hu Ailan. If murder weren't illegal, he would have gladly crushed her into the ground right then and there!

Fortunately, Zong Bai has grown up now and become much more rational. Besides, after living with Fang Jinxiu for a while, he learned a lot of ways to handle things from his sister-in-law.

He said coldly, "Hu Ai Lan, you say this child is my older brother's, what proof do you have"

"Back then, you didn't even get married to my older brother, let alone consummate the marriage. Where did the child come from"

"We can't just take your word for it."

Mu hurried to nod, but still couldn't help glancing at the child hiding in the corner.

As soon as Hu Ailan heard this, she quickly pulled the child out of the corner. The child was a little hurt and cried out in pain.

Mu frowned and wanted to step forward to stop him, but Zong Bo stopped her and shook his head at her.

"Mother, this time you cannot be soft-hearted again. This woman, Hu Ai Lan, is not as simple as she appears." speak.Fang Jinshu also didn't want to push the person too hard, softening her tone and giving him a step down."Since it's not that you dislike me and want me to leave, then why are you ignoring me""D...
