plash of brilliant scenery now graced the pure white handkerchief, this orchid was truly embroidered with lifelike vibrancy.However, considering Mu's health, she hurriedly added."Mother, please don't...Seeing the silver, Old Madam Wu immediately burst into a wide grin, her eyes sparkling with surprise and delight.

Even Lian Li shi couldn't help but be stunned.

He actually went to do some real work.

"Oh my, son! This is what you got from that deadbeat Zong Yu"

Zongping Kang chuckled softly, "Not at all."

"This Zongyang, this ingrate who betrays his family, ever since he married a wife, there's no room for us relatives in his eyes anymore."

"He doesn't even want to pay back the debts his own father owed, heartless and unfilial."

I can't count on him for money, not even if our whole family starved to death.

"Then, where did you get these five taels of silver" Liu Shi couldn't help but ask.

Based on her understanding of her husband, he couldn't even handle manual labor, let alone go out and make money.

Those who are good at eating and sleeping will die.

Zongping Kang couldn't wait to share his brilliant money-making ideas with them.

Gather everyone inside.

"This all started with the Jade Lotus girl I saw on the mountain last night."

Meanwhile, at Zong Yu's family, Mu had already woken up.

The whole family had no appetite for breakfast. They sat in the main hall, each with a different expression, staring at Zong Yulian.

Zong Yu's face was expressionless. Zong Bai frowned from beginning to end, seeming a little angry.

Mu shi couldn't get angry, Fang Jinxiu had been by her side taking care of her and calming her emotions.

But he did not approve of Zong Yu Lian's decision.

"You said that man is going to marry you, do you want to get married Your mother-in-law wouldn't stop you."

"But you've only known her for one night, how can you so hastily decide on such a lifelong matter"

Mu Shi, after all, was a woman of education. Unlike the women in the village who viewed marriage as a mere transaction, she held a more nuanced perspective.

Although Zong Yulian always claimed she wanted to marry a wealthy man, she didn't take it seriously.

Though our family is poor, mother has never thought of relying on your marriage to solve our urgent financial problems.

"Mother hopes you'll find someone to spend your life with, someone worthy of your trust and devotion. "

Zong Yulian wore a look of impatience and displeasure on her face. Before Mu could finish speaking, she interrupted her.

"If that's the case, I've heard enough."

"Think about it yourself, Mother. With our family and my background, where can I possibly find a good man to marry"

"The sons of wealthy families, which one isn't with three wives and four concubines Even if there are some among them who keep themselves clean."

"Do you think I would have a chance to meet them while I'm stuck in this village"

"I can't even afford to eat enough, as long as my future husband can give me money and fulfill my wishes, how do you know I can't spend my life with him"

"I don't care how many wives they marry, I only care about their money."

Mu Shi was still irritated, coughing several times in succession.

Fang Jinshi hurriedly patted her on the back to soothe her, and from the corner of her eye, she saw a flicker of worry cross Zong Yulian's face.

"Enough, Yulian. Can't you just say less Do you want to make your mother angry to death"

Zong Bai couldn't help but tell her.

Zong Yulian suppressed the urge to walk to Mu's side, letting out a snort.

Seeing that she still had some filial piety, Fang Jinshu also considered Zong Yu and Mu's reputation, so he reminded her.

"Yu Lian, have you ever thought about it Since that wealthy merchant is so rich, finding a young and beautiful girl wouldn't be difficult for him at all."

"I'm not trying to belittle you, but with so many villages of all sizes around here, you shouldn't be the most outstanding in appearance, right"

"He married hastily to appease his mother, yet he took so long to choose a wife, finally settling on you"

Zong Yulian was taken aback by the question, but she refused to listen to Fang Jinxiu's words, even though she felt that what she said made some sense.

"You just don't want me to pick well, do you"

"Perhaps this is just fate, are you jealous and envious now Do you regret marrying my older brother"

"If you had known that Su Lang was looking for a young girl to marry, wouldn't you have gone"

Fang Jinshu couldn't help but roll her eyes. Forget it, this girl was beyond saving.

She decided not to waste her breath. She was too young; she wouldn't grow up without the beatings of society. mother wouldn't dare hit you"Fang Jinxiu stood still, just a few centimeters away from Wang Xiumei's palm touching her cheek, when Zong Yu suddenly embraced his wife's waist and pulled her close.The...
