Chapter 507: I'm here to collect money, pay up

and wiped her mouth."Hm, I didn't hear wrong,"“Yesterday, it seemed like I was called a white-eyed wolf who eats inside and outside. I can't bear this title of good sister.”And just this bit of break...Mu rushed to pull Fang Jinshi aside, "Jinshi, what do you mean Tell me quickly."

"How did the ledger really end up in her hands"

What was wrong with Hu Ai Lan's look after she finished looking at the ledger

"Mother, you still don't trust me to do things. When have I ever suffered a loss"

"Don't worry, the ledger is fine with her too."

Because there was no money in the account to begin with.

"Why was she so angry just now"

Fan Jinshu lowered her head and smiled, "It's probably because she thinks life is meaningless."

Mu shi listened, bewildered, and it took her a long time to understand that there was no money in her account.

All matters concerning money are handled by the daughter-in-law, Mu shi doesn't interfere. She also believes that the daughter-in-law certainly knows her limits and understands that Hu Ai Lan wouldn't cause any major disturbances to the family.

And it was confirmed that Jinxiu wouldn't really leave with Ayu, leaving Mu Shi's heart finally at ease.

She went back with gold and jade to embellish her embroidery.

Hu Ai-lan stood on the spot, gritting her teeth and thinking hard for a while. She felt that she couldn't just let all her previous efforts go to waste.

She picked up the notebook from the ground and flipped through it carefully, growing angrier with each page she turned.

The family's ledger was anything but complicated. It was so simple that even someone illiterate like her could understand it.

For a moment, Hu Ai-lan almost thought that this ledger was forged by Fang Jinxiu just to play a trick on her.

When she flipped backward and saw the notes written above by Jade Lotus, she finally had to believe that this was the ledger their family had been using all along.

When asked about the expenses, Shan Tou's head simply drew a small hill to represent them instead of writing words.

For the human resources expenditure, I drew two rows of stick figures.

All other expenses in the ledger are recorded in a similar manner.

Hu Ai-lan recognized the numbers, each item followed by a debt. She didn't even have money to begin with, and after looking through this ledger, she wished she could just die right there.

If she were to marry into the family like this, not only would she not live a good life, but she would also end up in debt!

Could this be Fang Jinshi's plan

She didn't utter a word to anyone, putting on a flawless facade. In reality, she was completely overwhelmed by the pressure of the family debt and wanted to run away!

The more Hu Ai-lan thought about it, the more she felt that this was exactly the case. And she, a fool, had just walked right in to take over her mess, allowing her to get away smoothly!

Such a wicked scheme!

No wonder Fang Jinshu agreed so readily to divorce Zong Yu and let her marry into his family this time.

No, she couldn't fall for Fang Jinshui's trap.

Hu Ai-lan clutched her ledger, her brows furrowed so tightly they could have crushed a mosquito.

Although she left with a mess of problems and a lot of debt, the family still had this piece of land. Saying that out loud, at least they could be considered landowners. They'd have some face.

Although the Zong family is broke, they still have food and drink at home. They won't starve, so who knows, she might turn things around.

Hu Ai-lan hesitated, one voice in her head screaming, "This is Fang Jinshiu's trap, she's leading you to jump into the fiery pit of the Zong family!"

On the other hand, the little man in greedy disguise kept sneering. To live a good life, one had to seize the opportunity.

With such a large mountain here, why worry about running out of food

Just then, Tie Zhu suddenly returned with two people. These two were members of his team and also villagers, Hu Ai Lan knew them.

"What are you doing here Where's Jinxiu" Tiezhu looked at Hu Ailan with a bad expression and spoke in an impatient tone.

Tie Zhu's appearance really angered Hu Ai Lan, who cared a lot about face.

She was still hesitant about whether to run, but now she has grabbed her ledger and straightened her back, looking at Tiezhu like a proper mistress.

"From today onwards, tell me anything that's troubling you."

"Fang Jinshu will soon no longer be the daughter-in-law of the Zong family, I will be."

Tie Zhu let out a sneer, not taking Hu Ai Lan's words to heart at all.

Upon hearing the noise, Fang Jinshui came out. Tie Zhu just wanted to walk over to her side when she stopped him with a look.

Tie Zhu was also quick-witted; after a moment's thought, he understood. If Jin Xiu's sister-in-law didn't want Hu Ai Lan to enter the house, how could she be standing here talking to them

He twitched the corner of his mouth and turned back to Hu Ai-lan.

"Alright, I'll let you know if anything happens."

"What's the matter" Hu Ai-lan asked, lifting her chin.

He stated directly, “My two brothers were injured while working on the mountain. I brought them here to get medicine.”

"Besides, the farming tools for clearing land are also insufficient. Adding to that, with the wear and tear over these past few days, we need to replenish a batch of new tools, especially hoes, sickles, and axes. Clearing land is essential."

“Without tools, it would be impossible to clear this hillside.”

Iron Pillar stretched out his hand towards her, brazenly. "So, I'm here to collect money, pay up."the fog.Zongyu suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, Zhao Yun finally catching up."Brother Yu, are you here"Zongyu frowned slightly, “Did you smell that”Zhao Yun was at a loss."What do you smell""...
