Chapter 411: Seeing An Annoying Person As Soon As I Returned

thers were not worthy of a smile from him."That means you two brothers got lucky. If Master Fang hadn't gotten married, someone like you wouldn't be worthy of marrying a woman as exceptional as Master...The elder said, looking at Mu and Zong Bai, seeing that they had no countermeasures and were in a hurry, he felt quite smug.

Jiang Hai is the old hothead, just relying on this inexperienced brat Zong Bai, he really thinks he can stand alone

Mu hesitated for a long time, "Father-in-law, before you took quite a bit of silver from our family. Jinxiu also said that the amount of money and property adds up to a considerable sum. How can you still ask us for money"

The old man snorted, "That money was from the second branch to repay Pingchuan's debts for his education and support his whole family. What does that have to do with supporting us old folks"

"Besides, you are Pingchuan's wife. Now that Pingchuan is gone, you must honor him by being filial and taking good care of the two of us."

"Do you think relationships can exist without us older folks"

"A white-eyed wolf who doesn't know how to be grateful."

While berating the Mu family, leaving them utterly humiliated and defeated, the elder also shamelessly laid out his own demands.

The villagers were still unaware that Zong Bai had begun studying again to prepare for the imperial examinations. Throughout history, candidates for the imperial examinations always came from families of good standing, and their reputations could not have any major blemishes.

Disobedience is a serious crime in Daxi. Therefore, Mu Shi dared not gamble on her youngest son's reputation. Faced with Zong Lao's request, she gritted her teeth and asked.

“Well then, Master, how would you like us to care for you”

Zong Bai was very surprised to see his mother speak.

"Mother, we can't take the old road before."

He still said the same thing, if it really didn't work out, they could just not take this imperial examination.

Mu shi saw that her son was acting rashly, and hurriedly patted his hand, motioning Zong Bai to be more patient.

Zong Bo was both angry and annoyed. If he really agreed to support his grandmother, wouldn't it be the same as before, just an excuse to ask for money

The sister-in-law finally managed to get her family out from under the control of the old house, and they were seeing their lives improve. If those people from the old house came back into their lives, they would be like leeches, impossible to shake off.

Zong Bai's dissatisfaction and unwillingness were evident to Old Master Zong, but he didn't take it seriously. This time, he wanted more than just money.

He wants the entire two-story house back in his hands!

"When our elders speak, where do you, a mere kid, have the audacity to interrupt!" Old Man Zong glared at Zong Bai and rebuked him.

Zong Bo was furious, he wished he could immediately rush up and throw all these annoying people down the mountain.

Mu's mother was afraid her son would do something foolish, so she quickly pulled him back.

"Father, please don't hold a grudge like Uncle Zong. We of the Second House will take responsibility for what we owe. Even if Pingchuan isn't here, I won't shirk my duties. Just tell us what you want us to do."

"You can raise them," Mu said, her gaze shifting to Hu Ailan who stood beside her. "If you only want an excuse to force us to accept Hu Ailan into the family, that's impossible."

Zong Laotou's face darkened, he snorted, "One or two don't know what kind of love potion they were given by Fang Jinshi, but it doesn't matter."

He has his own ways.

Fang Jinxiu, that stubborn woman, clearly has a strong personality. She can't stand any sand in her eyes. As long as Zong Yu and Hu Ailan have some kind of incident, even if the Mu family gets down on their knees, she won't stay.

The excuse of filial piety is merely that. Old Master Zong intends to move into the second room himself, and Hu Ailan is just there to serve him.

As long as they can get into the second room, they'll have a chance to make this happen sooner or later!

The old man calculated in his heart, then opened his mouth and said.

"To simply offer money as payment for taking care of someone is truly insulting!"

"I have three sons, and don't you say I'm not fair to your family. My husband and I will start tomorrow, taking turns living in each of your three houses, staying for half a year at a time. Once we've lived in all three, we'll move out."

Mu immediately felt a surge of anger. She wasn't stupid, and she could see through Zong Lao's plan.

Will letting them in ensure their family can still have a peaceful life afterwards

Before Mu could speak, Zong Bai couldn't help himself. He shouted excitedly at Old Master Zong, "You're dreaming!"

This request is too shameless.

Fang Jinxiu rode hard all the way back, finally reaching outside Yemountain just before nightfall. To climb the mountain now, with so many supplies, would be difficult.

She let everyone camp on the spot for the night. They had traveled such a long distance, they must be tired.

"Ayu, let's go home first and tell our mother we're safe."

Zongyu nodded, Tiezhu volunteered to stay and help take care of the caravan people.

The couple hurried home through the mountains, but as soon as they returned, they encountered a disagreeable person.maid after she returned home.... even her bed of leaves was made soft, and he brought half his own dry grass over to make a cushion for Chunlan, afraid she would find it uncomfortable. ...Before any...
