Chapter 406: Every Door Will Be Kicked In

d. 。Moreover, this wasn't a time for him to be picky. He had to eat whatever others ate; it was good enough if there was something to eat. 。So Qin Chongyan didn't think much about it while eating....The Mu family now is nothing like it used to be. Fang Jinshu has brainwashed her mother-in-law a lot. Before leaving, she had told her mother-in-law that if the old man Zong brought people to the door, don't pay any attention to them.

Just ignore whatever they say, treat it like it's nothing.

Zong Lao's head told Hu Ailan to knock on the door. As soon as they arrived, Mu Shi saw them from afar. Remembering his wife's words, he got up directly and went back to the house from the yard, closing the door so that they couldn't be seen.

At this time, only Jin Yu and Qiu Ju were in the courtyard. Xiao Dong was taking a nap in bed, Zong Bai was attending class in Mr. Qin's room next door, and Yu Lian was tending to the vegetable patch with Xiao Yue at the back.

Seeing that the old woman ignored the people outside the door and refused to let them in, the two maids knew they had no reason to open the door for Hu Ailan.

The village elder had long heard from the villagers that Fang Jinshiu bought several maids and was living a life of being served.

His face twitched with jealousy. As the most senior member of the family, he was supposed to be the one being served! He, the head of the family, hadn't even gotten a taste of being waited on, and Mu Shi was just the second wife of their family. What right did she have

Hu Ailan knocked for a long time but no one answered them, so she had to turn her head and look at Zong Lao.

"Grandpa, this."

She feigned sympathy and said, "Auntie Mu definitely didn't mean to not open the door for us. She was probably resting and didn't hear. Maybe we should come back another day"

Uncle Zong's face darkened, "What about coming another day She's definitely at home, pretending to be deaf and dumb on purpose!"

He immediately shouted at Jin Yu and Qiu Ju, who were tending to medicinal herbs in the courtyard for Fang Jinshu, through the crack of the door, "You two dead girls, are you dead!"

"You didn't see us standing outside for ages! Quickly open the door and let us in."

Jin Yu and Qiu Ju were both relatively gentle, so when Zong Lao's tone was too harsh, the two girls shrank back in fear.

"Jin Yu, what are we going to do" Qiu Ju asked in a low voice.

"The old woman's father-in-law is outside. We... we shouldn't refuse to open the door for him, should we"

"Wouldn't the old mistress be gossiped about if this got out"

Jin Yu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Although she hadn't been around for very long, she had spent enough time with Fang Jinshi to learn about the old Madam and the grievances of the ancestral home. She also knew that the people outside were not good.

"Autumn Chrysanthemum, let's just leave this be. The old lady was just sitting in the courtyard sewing the soles of her shoes. Why didn't she go inside earlier or later, but only went in when these two arrived"

I think she must have seen them from afar. It seems that Madam and Jinxiu don't get along well with the old house. Without the master's orders, let's not act rashly.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ju nodded in agreement and continued working diligently with Jin Yu, pretending not to notice the two people at the doorway.

When the elder saw that these two dead girls dared to ignore him, even looking down on a bought slave as if it were nothing, he was furious. The Second House was clearly trying to sever ties with their family! They were separating themselves completely from the Clan.

He was so angry that he shouted directly into the courtyard, "Mu Yunhe, come out here!"

"Even if I say it a thousand times, I'm your father! How dare you talk to me like that!"

He yelled and kicked the door angrily. The wooden door of Zong Yu's house had been used for many years and wasn't very solid.

The old man's kick not only made the wooden door creak and groan deafeningly, but also shook the walls of the courtyard.

Jin Yu and Qiu Ju were so scared that they hurriedly ran back to the house to report to Mu Shi.

"Oh dear mistress, Master Zong is kicking our courtyard gate, it's almost broken!"

Mu had heard the commotion long ago. She was also panicked, but Zong Bo and Yu Lian weren't home. Her daughter-in-law had given a thousand warnings: if her father-in-law came with Hu Ai Lan, don't open the door for them, and don't even acknowledge them.

She didn't know why her daughter-in-law was so accurate in her guesses, she only knew that listening to her daughter-in-law was always right.

"Golden autumn chrysanthemum, you two, go out from the side door and quickly call Zong Bai back."

The two girls immediately nodded.

Zong Hu, who was working at the foot of the mountain on the other side, suddenly straightened up. He seemed to have heard his grandfather's voice from the mountain. He thought to himself, "Oh no," and immediately dropped the hoe he was holding and ran up the mountain.

The old man was still kicking the door relentlessly, and it looked like it was about to be broken down. Hu Ai Lan feigned concern and pulled him back.

"Grandpa, this doesn't seem right. Wouldn't it scare Aunt Mu"

The old man snorted, "You, you're just too kind. You always think of her, but she doesn't even think of you."

"Just leave this to Grandpa. When you see Master Mu Yunhe later, he'll settle it for you. Just watch from the side."'t a trap you set intentionally After all, it's been your one-sided words all along. You say Yuan Buyu is going to attack us, what evidence do you have""If we truly followed you, trapped in the cage y...
