. We won't sell these furs for now; we'll keep them for the winter."Zong Bai didn't notice anything amiss, he nodded and immediately went to work as instructed by his elder brother.Fang Jinshu was sti...When the old man saw that Mu finally came out, he threw away the stick in his hand and hurried forward.

"One and two, their wings are hard now, they don't take me, the old man, seriously anymore."

"I'd like to know, what will you do about it if I go to the magistrate and report your outrageous behavior Will he punish you for being so disrespectful"

Zong Hu's face changed drastically. His grandfather was a man of action, always capable of doing what he said. Even after the division of assets, there was still a debt of gratitude for raising him. This was the fundamental reason why Zong Hu dared not disrespect his grandfather.

There used to be a story in our village about a father going to the government office to accuse his son of being unfilial. The son was directly arrested by the magistrate and imprisoned for several years before being released.

If he were really arrested, what would Xiaoxiao Hu and Yan'er do.

When Mu heard the words "government office," he panicked. Zong Bo was now starting to study again, but what if he went to the government office and caused some trouble

To have such a disloyal reputation, it will be detrimental to my future imperial examinations.

The old patriarch saw that both Mu and Zong Hu were scared speechless by her words, and he smirked triumphantly.

"Don't make me go to the magistrate and report you, or else let us in!"

Mu Shi gritted her teeth, and sighed, "Let them come in then." Jinxiu had briefed her before leaving. The patriarch came with Hu Ai-lan, wasn't it just about the verbal agreement between A Yu and the Hu family back then

Tong'er was originally taking a nap. She turned over and found that her grandma was no longer in bed. Hearing noises outside, she rubbed her eyes, turned over and got out of bed, put on her shoes and walked out.

He vaguely heard Hu Ailan's voice, instantly waking up. He hurried to Mu Shi's side, his legs tapping rapidly.

Upon seeing Hu Ailan and Zong Laotou, the little face turned grim. Without a word, she pulled out a small slingshot from her pocket.

It was a small toy made by Uncle Zong Bai for him. It really hurt to hit someone with it, even with pebbles inside.

He shot several stones towards the two people, who were knocked back. Zong Laotou stood at the front and was hit several times in the face.

It really hurts when a sharp pebble hits your face.

He was caught off guard and cried out in pain, "Ouch! Which little punk hit me!"

Hu Ai-lan was also hit twice, and after seeing who did it, her eyes widened in anger.

Xiaodong was small, she hid beside Mu shi and if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to see him.

"Xiao Dong!" Hu Ailan cried out in exasperation.

She was about to unleash a torrent of insults, but then she remembered her current persona and swallowed all the swear words back down.

“Xiao Dong, how could you speak to your grandmother and grandfather like that That’s not right at all,” he said in a slightly softer tone.

"Who taught you this"

With a single sentence, Hu Ailan shifted the responsibility for Xiao Dong onto the adults' shoulders, implying that he was of no use to anyone.

Besides the members of the second branch of the Zong family, who else could have taught him Indirectly accusing them of corrupting Xiaodong and saying he lacks manners is not appropriate.

Mu Shiqi's breath quickened, Xiao Dong, though young, could tell who was good to him and who wasn't.

Grandma Mu is good to him, so he wants to protect Grandma Mu too. No one else should bully people who are good to him.

Little Dong immediately shouted, "No one taught me, I just think you're annoying, and I hate you!"

"Besides, you're not my mother! Get lost, you shameless woman!"

Before, he stayed with this woman just to survive, pretending to be her son. Now that he's found someone better to take care of him, there's no need for him to keep up the charade.

Hearing Xiao Dong's words, Hu Ai Lan was both surprised and frightened.

This kid isn't very talkative, is he Besides "um" and "ah," you rarely hear him speak a complete sentence.

And how could a four-year-old possibly say such a thing

When the elder heard Xiaodong's words, he was also taken aback. He turned to look at Hu AiLan, could she even be deceiving him

He whispered, "What's going on Is Xiaodong really a child of our clan"

Hu Ai-lan was a little panicked.

"Grandpa, look at Xiao Dong's appearance. He looks almost exactly like Brother Zongyu when he was a child. How is it possible that he isn't a member of the Zong family"

"Don't listen to this kid's ramblings. I knew Mu Shanni and the others would brainwash such a young child. If I had known, I wouldn't have left Dong'er behind."

"In just a few days, he has even forgotten that I am his own mother."

That damn little bastard, he actually dared to betray me!back""She, after all, is the daughter-in-law of a prominent family."Another young voice chimed in, and the moment he spoke, Fang Jinshi instinctively thought of two words: "pleasant sounding."Deep and...
