Chapter 52: Zhonghuo's Fury

lf cleaned up.”Fang Jinshi gasped. Elder Zong still favored his own son. Zong Pinggao beat his daughter-in-law without even asking what happened, and Elder Zong simply brushed it off with a nonchalan...Mrs. Mu looked at her daughter-in-law's natural demeanor and couldn't help but smile, "Just eat, don't just stand there."

You two brothers worked all night and didn't sleep. After you finish breakfast, go back to sleep.

"Just take a good rest today. Don't go out hunting for food."

Zong Yulian glared at Fang Jinxiu angrily, "Are you a starving ghost reincarnated You ate everything before Mother even had a bite!"

"Fang, I warn you, even if I'm getting married and moving out soon, don't you dare bully my mother."

"If you dare to be unkind to Mother, I'll skin you when I get back."

Zong Yu and Zong Bai both frowned. Fang Jinxiu didn't want her two brothers to speak for her and protect her in everything, making her feel like a turtle hiding its head.

She swallowed her food and let out a scoff.

"Don't you think that after you take off, everyone in your family will be depending on you"

Zong Yulian arrogantly raised her head. Though she didn't speak, her expression clearly conveyed what she thought.

"I wonder who gave you the confidence."

"I didn't want to interfere and upset you."

She took a bite of the scallion pancake, "This family used to rely on my older brother, and in the future, it will rely on me, or maybe Zongbo."

"Only impossible to rely on you."

"You!" Zong Yulian glared angrily.

“Am I wrong You haven’t even told me where your Su Lang’s hometown is. If it's far away, a woman who marries will lose the freedom she had as a young lady at home.”

It's already difficult to go back home, even if it's close by. It's hard to say you want to come back when you want to. Let alone going so far away.

"Some unpleasant things your brothers wouldn't be able to say to you face-to-face."

"Well, I might as well be the bad guy then."

If you truly wish to marry that Su surname fellow and leave with him, then from this day forward, the family will be no different whether or not they have a daughter like you.

"You keep saying you want to marry for money because it's to make life better for your family."

"Ask yourself, is that really true"

You're just looking for a respectable excuse to live the life of luxury and wealth.

Zong Yulian was furious. Every word Fang Jinshi uttered sent a shiver down her spine.

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Mother, elder brother, second brother, I really don't mean it this way."

"She's trying to stir up trouble between us, to make you all completely hate me."

"Fang Jinxiu, are you just jealous that I married well You're saying these things out of envy, aren't you!"

The smile gradually faded from Mu's face. She knew exactly what her daughter-in-law was saying.

It's just that Jade Lotus wants to maintain face, and besides, her daughter is growing up, she's going to get married eventually. They can hold her back for a while, but they can't hold her back forever.

She picked up her chopsticks and added a piece of egg pancake to Fang Jinshu's bowl.

"Hurry up and eat. After you finish, go rest. You stayed up all night too."

Fang Jinshu was taken aback for a moment, then she understood her mother-in-law's meaning.

They had tried every means to dissuade her from this marriage, but Zong Yulian was determined to marry far away.

She didn't want to have another pointless conflict with Yulian.

Zong Yulian, however, thought her mother was defending her and insinuating that Fang Jinshi was gossipy and meddling. She retorted fiercely.

"You eat as if you own the place, just because we bought you. Don't think you're my sister-in-law!"

As soon as she spoke, Mu Shi immediately frowned and glanced at her.

Zong Yu's face darkened, and the chopsticks in his hand slammed heavily on the table with a loud crack, causing everyone to flinch.

He stared coldly at Zong Yulian and said, “Go ahead and marry whoever you want, your sister-in-law is right.”

"Once you leave this house, you will never be allowed to return."

"Your family treats you as if you never existed, and my family denies that you are my sister."

"If I hear you speak ill of her again, I'll tie you up at home and keep you there forever. You'll never be able to marry."

As the eldest son, Zong Yu had been supporting the family since his father left when he was young. His authority was even greater than Zong Pingchuan's when he was at home.

The eldest son rarely gets angry, which surprised her a bit. When Jinxiu first came to the house, wasn't he unwilling to marry her as his wife

That would definitely be protective.

What happened in just two short days't marry into a prestigious family, she had to find a man who could support her. She absolutely couldn't let Li Gou, that fool, ruin her reputation.Unfortunately, no matter how Hu Ai Lan explained her...
