Chapter 169 Freedom is Priceless

their disposal, their household must have accumulated quite a fortune.Although Grandpa Zong couldn't figure out how their family had suddenly become better off, he only knew one thing: as long as Fang...Zong Hu's brow furrowed in pain, "I, I don't know."

"Swallow, my parents only have one son, and my older sister is already married."

"Moving out is impossible, even if I agreed, my grandparents and parents wouldn't let me."

Wang Yanan drooped her eyes in disappointment. She knew this was the answer she would get.

But if Zong Hu was really the kind of person who would abandon his family without hesitation, she would be surprised. His reluctance to do so made her feel that it was normal.

Fang Jinshu on the side wouldn't worry about the family so much.

"Since you're not willing, there's nothing I can do about it."

She glanced at Wang Yan'er, letting out a silent sigh in her heart.

When someone is stuck in the mud, it's certainly important for someone to reach out and help pull them out. But even more important is whether or not that person wants to climb out of the mud themselves.

She said she would do what she said, since Big Brother Zong Hu wasn't willing to split the family, then there was no need for her to meddle any further.

Wang Yanie's innocence issue, as long as Zong Hu wakes up and stands by her side, it wouldn't be difficult to resolve.

It's just that Sister Yan'er's situation in the Zong family is likely to become increasingly difficult.

The gossip in the village wouldn't disappear just because the misunderstanding was explained and her innocence cleared. It would remain like a thorn lodged in the flesh, even if the visible part was removed, leaving an invisible one deep inside that couldn't be taken out.

From now on, whenever anyone remembers this and talks about it, it will be a kind of harm to Sister Yan.

As Zongyu stepped out of the old house, he saw his wife was downcast, her mood visibly lower than when she had arrived.

He racked his brain trying to find words to comfort her.

Don't worry, at least Big Brother's intentions towards his sister-in-law are good, he will protect her.

Fang Jinshi, however, was not so optimistic.

Zong Hu Ge can't be around his mother and sister all the time, there must be times when he's not there.

"Which one of your grandmother and aunt is more thrifty"

She hadn't really interacted with us much before, and life at the old house wasn't so unbearable yet.

"Your grandma and your aunt hate me. Since Yan'er sister and I are close, with their personalities, could they let her have a good life"

Zhong Yu hurriedly embraced his wife's shoulders, a serious expression on his face, and said, "You don't dislike me at all."

“Our whole family likes you.”

Fang Jinxiu couldn't help but chuckle and lightly bumped him on the shoulder. "You really don't listen to the important parts when someone is talking, do you"

"What about Yan'er Jie"

Zongyu nodded. "I know, even you can't say that you hate yourself."

He didn't know what magic was in these two sentences, Fang Jinshu suddenly felt that his heart wasn't so depressed anymore, and he reached for Zong Yu's hand.

"Got it."

Actually, I don't care at all whether they like me or not.

As long as you guys like me, that's all that matters." She gave Zong Yu a playful smile.

Then, in a mysterious tone, he added, "Actually, I have another plan."

But whether this plan will work depends on whether the old house's inhabitants will do something stupid.

"What's the plan" Zongyu asked curiously.

Two people walked hand-in-hand to the water source to wash pig intestines. Although the mountains were dark at night, Fang Jinshu didn't feel afraid at all.

As long as Zongyu is by her side, she always feels extra reliable and secure.

She chatted with him while washing the intestines.

"It's just about the money."

"Fifty taels to buy Zong Hu Ge and Yan Er Jie the freedom to live independently for the rest of their lives, do you think it's worth it"

Every time Zongyu heard his daughter-in-law say these strange words, he would be taken aback. He could understand the literal meaning, but he had never heard anyone speak like this before.

"If it could truly buy half a life of freedom, don't say fifty taels, even more silver would be worth it."

But I still don't understand, why can money buy Brother and Sister-in-law their freedom

"Aren't you always worried that if you give the old house money, they will be insatiable and you won't be able to get rid of them later" get hard looking at women, and this was just as well. After all, it got rid of one menace for all the poor women in Beijing."Huh Young Master Er doesn't seem like someone who would be so obedient."Xi...
