Chapter 344 Something's Not Right

th himShe only used five taels of silver to buy Fang Jinshu back, if she let Su Yusheng help her redeem the deed.As soon as he thought of this, Zong Yu's back teeth ached involuntarily.Just as Fang Ji...Wang, the village head, had a bad feeling in his heart. Zong Lao, with a kind smile on his face, walked up to Hu Ailan.

"You poor child, you've had such a hard life. Since you've given birth to children for the clan, the clan naturally won't mistreat you. Ah Yu, this child, is simply not up to par."

"Grandpa will take care of you."

Hearing this, Hu Ailan held back her excitement and hurriedly thanked Elder Zong, saying she wanted to kneel down again.

The elder pushed the woman up, “No need to kneel. You’re Ayu's mother. He doesn’t acknowledge our Zong family, but you can rest assured, grandpa will fight for you and get justice.”

Hu Ai-lan couldn't help herself this time, speaking excitedly, "Grandfather, Ai-lan thanks you for your great kindness."

Seeing the other person's tearful expression of gratitude, Elder Zong felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart. This was the proper attitude a junior should have when standing before him.

He turned back to Wang, the village head, and said, "After all, this is a family affair of our clan, isn't it"

"Do you still want to interfere"

Zhao hastily smiled and said, "Uncle Zong is willing to help this child, which is naturally the best. Of course we won't interfere."

Village Head Wang's expression was somewhat heavy, but he didn't know what to say.

"Uncle Zong, you, are you planning to take this person home"

Elder Zong hadn't expected this, but after careful consideration, he realized that keeping the person under his watchful eye was indeed the best course of action. It would prevent Jinxiu from hatching any more schemes and driving him away.

"Yes, she is the mother of Ayou's child. She was also betrothed to Ayou back then. The Hu family is gone now, and as in-laws, we should naturally take good care of this child."

"I'll take her back, you don't have to worry about it."

Head Village Wang felt that Old Zong's actions were rather unusual, not in line with his usual character. However, he couldn't figure out his motive.

Just now, Village Head Wang mentioned the old house of the Hu family, and Elder Zong became interested.

"Village Head Wang, since we're in charge of Hu Ailan now, shouldn't the deeds to the old Hu family house be returned to us"

This soon, it's our turn

At the sound of the words "deed and title," a glimmer flashed in Hu Ai-lan's eyes that was hard to detect.

"Wang, the village head, came to his senses. 'The deed to the Hu family's house is indeed in my hands,' he said, 'but it should be returned to her.' "

In the village, land deeds and house titles were practically worthless. Village Chief Wang had no need to take advantage of people in this small way.

But Master Zong was greedy.

He turned his head to look at Hu Ailan, his eyes holding a subtle threat.

I'm thinking, "This old man has done you such a huge favor, he'll be taking care of you for food and lodging in the future. You have to show some gratitude, right"

Hu Ai-lan understood the look in Zong Laotou's eyes. Although she wasn't willing, she was outnumbered and couldn't achieve her goals without relying on the Zong family.

Besides, even if we gave her everything, she wouldn't be able to keep it with her current state.

It's better to just go with the flow and appease Old Master Zong for now. Make him happy first.

She immediately obediently said, "I will listen to Grandpa for everything. I am so grateful for his kindness that I have nothing to repay him. The deeds to our house and land are willingly given to Grandpa, allowing him to manage them."

Those words really struck a chord with Master Zong.

This girl is much more sensible than Fang Jinshi. In the future, if she really takes back everything from the second room, he will take charge of giving Hu Ailan and Zongyu a proper wedding ceremony.

This daughter-in-law is not more fortunate than Fang Jinxiu, is she

The village head saw that the two were almost in agreement. Even if he felt something was wrong, he wouldn't raise any objections at this time.

Isn't it good that someone is helping to take care of Hu Ailan Anyway, the deeds to the house and land in the Hu family don't belong to him. Hu Ailan can give them to whoever she wants.

Just like that, Hu Ai-lan followed Old Zong and left. After the two of them left, Village Head Wang felt more and more uneasy about how things had unfolded.

The old man came to grind corn every day, but as soon as he saw Hu Ai-lan, he stopped talking about it. Their family must be severely short of water, that's why he kept coming to their door.

I didn't mention a word about water when I left just now.

The village chief called his son Tiezhu, “Go to Zongyu's house and tell them about this.”

Tie Zhu nodded. He had just finished his work in the fields and was about to help Elder Zong build a house.

After receiving his father's instructions, he scurried away.

Zhao Shi said angrily, "I really don't know what is so good about Fang Jinshi. You and your son both like to rush to help her."ne's concerns first, is it because of the water"Some people nodded, while others remained silent.Fang Jinshu specifically asked those who had not expressed their stance, "Brother, what do you think"“I...
