Chapter 5: Fainted

ff, she hid behind her eldest son, glancing around nervously, feeling as though eyes were watching her from everywhere."Old man, elder brother, this, what sound is this"Zongyu, who had remained silent...Because of the drought and lack of water, the clan's food was also extremely simple. They roasted four palm-sized pieces of jerky and four large potatoes over a fire. The black jerky made Fang Jinshi unable to tell what kind of meat it was at first glance.

And add a bowl of hearty vegetable porridge.

The reasons for the water shortage, Huhu was surprisingly viscous.

Mu Yunhe watched Fang Jinshu's nimble movements, her heart was beyond happy.

Just as lunch was ready, the three siblings from the Zong family came back.

Zong Yulian shouted from afar, "Mother, we're back."

Fang Jinxiu came out of the kitchen, her heart suddenly feeling a little nervous. She had a good impression of Mu Yunhe and thought she would be a great future mother-in-law.

If she could stay, her life would be far better than wandering away.

...just don't know if this reputation of his is as good as getting along with his mother.

She turned her head toward the sound of Zong Yulian's voice and saw a tall figure striding towards her from afar.

Fang Jinshu was stunned.

She finally knew why no girl was willing to marry Zongyu. Her mother could only spend money to buy a wife for him as a last resort.

This man is too tall, I'd say he's over 1.9 meters tall.

The original owner of this body was only a little over 1.6 meters tall.

Her shoulders were as wide as two, with bulging biceps that seemed to rival the thickness of her thighs.

My goodness, she originally thought her height of over 1.6 meters wasn't short at all. Compared to Mu Yunhe and Zong Yulian, the mother-daughter duo, she was the tallest!

Now Zongyu stood before her, and a sense of overwhelming pressure descended upon her.

She had to tilt her head back to see his face.

He is masculine in appearance, not unattractive, with a tanned complexion.

According to her aesthetic, he's a tough-looking guy with charm. He has a scar running vertically from his eyebrow to under his eye.

This wound looks pretty dangerous. If it had been moved half an inch lower, his right eye would have been blinded.

Fan Jinshui didn't think this scar affected his appearance at all. In modern society, many boys even deliberately draw those broken eyebrows to look tough.

And he was really manly, even with that chopped eyebrow. He emanated a strong masculine aura all over his body.

Fang Jinshi's heart, which had been calm for over twenty years, suddenly beat erratically.

From the moment Zong Yu appeared to walk up to her and stand before her, Fang Jinxiu's eyes never left him.

Zongyu was a little surprised. Usually, whenever the young lady saw him, she either turned pale with fright or ran away.

There has never been a woman like the one before him, who dared to stare at him this long.

"You are Fang's daughter, Fang Jinshu"

Fang Jinshi nodded, she thought Zongyu wanted to tell her something, and kept waiting for the next words.

Mu Yunhe saw that the atmosphere between her son and daughter-in-law when they met was pretty good, so she hurriedly beckoned to her son and daughter.

"Zong Bai, Yu Lian, you two hurry to the kitchen and bring the food to the table."

"Come on, come on, let's go in and wait first."

Zong Yulian frowned, "Mother, we spent money to buy her back, yet you won't even have her do these chores."

Zong Yu suddenly spoke, "Mother, since we've bought her back, she'll stay at home and take care of you from now on."

"I'll find a way to save up Yu Lian's dowry again."

Zongyu agreed to buy Fang Jinshu for his mother, but he also had his own considerations. Yulian, this girl, was determined to marry outside the village, and she would eventually leave home.

He and Zong Bai are both men, and they are busy making money to support their families. It is indeed necessary to have someone reliable to take care of their mother.

Mu Yunhe heard this and was angry, turning back.

"You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about"

"I bought Jinxiu back to be your wife. I'm not sick enough to be bedridden and unable to move, so who else would take care of me"

< "Now the young lady is already at my home. If you don't marry her, how will she make a living in the future" >

"How the villagers would speak of her."

When she got excited, she coughed hard, her face turning pale and flushed.that one day he would get it back from them.Zong Yu was leading Fang Jinshi and the two were walking hand-in-hand in another direction, continuing to look for herbs. Song Changhe sat on a tree branch...
