basket of cut pork, covered it with a cloth, and walked down the mountain.On the day Zong Yu brought the wild boar home, he told her to give fifteen kilograms of meat to Changhe Tiezhu and his brothe..."Sister Jinxiu, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I won't think about Brother Zongyu anymore and won't talk nonsense again."

"You can hit me, scold me, punish me, but please don't kick me out."

"I don't want to leave the family. My aunt is pregnant and it would be inconvenient for her. Household chores, including taking care of grandma, need someone to do them."

"Please, please, just let me stay as your maid. I can do anything, endure any hardship, please!"

Hu Ai-lan was incredibly forthright, throwing herself at their feet with tears and snot, begging them. The Mu family saw her like this and couldn't help but soften their hearts.

"Jinxiu, what do you think"

Fang Jinxiu, of course, wouldn't fall for this. The more she interacted with Hu Ailan, the more she was alarmed by this woman's cunning and acting skills.

She did indeed have a strong will to survive, but Fang Jinshu felt in her heart that she was doing this for more than just survival.

“I only let you leave the clan, and didn’t drive you out of the village. You have hands and feet, and the deeds to the land and houses from the Hu family will all be returned to you. As long as you work hard, you won’t starve yourself.”

As soon as Fang Jinshi's voice fell, Hu Ai Lan immediately raised her head and said.

As a frail woman, I live alone in the village. Where could I possibly go to be safe

"If you insist on driving me away, I might as well just die here."

Fang Jinxiu thought she was just talking, but Hu Ai-lan actually stood up and bumped her head against the wall.

Luckily, Old Lady Wu pulled her back, or Hu Ailan might have really been splattered with blood on the spot.

Everyone in the yard was startled.

"Ai Lan, don't do anything stupid." Mu Shi felt a bit of regret now. Had she been too harsh with her words just now

This child just wants to find a place where he can rely on and survive.

Mu looked at her daughter-in-law, Fang Jinshi, "Don't you think we've gone too far"

Fang Jinshi was taken aback. If she said now that Hu Ailan was still acting, would anyone here believe her

"Mother, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Let Yu Lian help you back to rest first."

Yulian was still stunned by the moment when Hu Ai-lan tried to ram her head against the wall and commit suicide, she froze for a moment before reacting.

"Oh right, mother, it's so late now. Let's leave the matters here to sister-in-law and brother for now. We should go back first."

She also shot a glance at her second brother. The siblings, supporting Mrs. Mu, coaxed and persuaded her away.

Mu Shi thought about it, she had long since given this household to Jinxiu to manage, she really shouldn't meddle.

Let go of the sympathy in my heart, and turned to follow my children home.

Old Mrs. Wu cried, holding onto Hu Ailan, “Silly child, who will take care of your old grandmother if you die”

She glared viciously at Fang Jinshui, "If you want to drive away Ai Lan, you'd better kill my old grandmother first."

"Anyway, the old man is gone, and Pingkang is gone too. What's the point of this old bone living in this world anymore."

"I've raised a bunch of ungrateful ingrates, oh Lord, why don't you open your eyes and strike these heartless bastards with lightning!"

Elder Three’s eyes flickered, could he not tell who his mother was scolding

He had a pretty good impression of Hu Ai Lan, but Fang Jinxiu was just petty. Didn't she just get engaged to A Yu before He couldn't even tolerate this.

He turned his head and whispered to Mrs. He, “Wife, Hu Ai Lan is right. With you pregnant, it’s inconvenient for you to do everything around the house.”

"Even I need someone to take care of me. Perhaps we should just keep Hu Ai-lan here."

Before Lady He could speak, Fang Jinshi let out a cold snort. “You can keep her, but if I find out she’s stirring up trouble behind our backs again, or gossiping and sowing discord, then don't blame me for cutting ties with you and your family's honor. I will take back all the benefits I have given you.”

"Even, I'll drive all of you out of the village."

Zong Laosan was intimidated by Fang Jinshu's aura and couldn't speak. Lao Tai Wu insisted on keeping Hu Ailan, forcing Zong Laosan into a difficult position.

Hu Ai Lan's eyes brimmed with hatred, almost overflowing. She dared not raise her head for fear anyone would see.

Lastly, Zong Yu stood between Fang Jinshi and Zong Lao San, saying:

"Alright, let her stay."

Fang Jinxiu suddenly raised her head, thinking she had misheard.

"What did you say You want her to stay"uld naturally take good care of this child.""I'll take her back, you don't have to worry about it."Head Village Wang felt that Old Zong's actions were rather unusual, not in line with his usual charac...
