Chapter 53: Sharp Tongue, Gentle Heart

imself hard across the face twice, with a resounding crack that startled Fang Jinshu.After he finished, he immediately changed his face, crying and begging towards Fang Jinxiu to kneel down and apolog...Zong Yulian was so scared that her face turned pale, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

Zong Bai glared at her angrily from the side, and whispered, "Serves you right. I told you to respect your sister-in-law a long time ago."

"You're being too harsh."

My sister-in-law's words may seem heartless, but in reality, she is thinking of Jade Lotus at every turn.

Tell her the drawbacks of marrying far away. Does she really want to abandon her mother and brothers for a man she's just met

She would rather believe a stranger than her own family. Who could have possibly harmed her

Zong Yulian felt she had suffered enough grievances. She threw down her chopsticks and stood up abruptly.

"Fine, since you all can't stand me and want to cut me off, then go ahead."

From now on, I will never come back!

She threw the ten taels of silver down harshly, "This money is considered repayment for your years of raising me. From now on, whether I live or die, don't bother with me anymore."

After she finished speaking, she pushed past Zong Bai and ran out.

Zong Bai was anxious. He had always quarreled with his sister since he was a child, and what she said just now was nothing compared to their usual arguments. He didn't understand why she was reacting this way.

"Big brother, I'm going to bring Yu Lian back."

Zong Yu said coldly, "No need."

"If she wants to leave, let her go."

"Do you think you can pull her back"

"Keep eating."

Zhong Bai wore a face of worry, "This, what if she runs out alone, something might happen to her."

Mu also glanced out apprehensively.

Zongyu then said, "Jadelian's shoes don't have much soil on them, she clearly didn't walk all the way back."

If I'm not mistaken, there is a carriage waiting for her down the hill.

She wasn't originally planning on staying home today.

Zong Yulian was leaving to say goodbye because Su Lang urgently needed to go home to see his sick mother.

What she didn't expect was that she would leave home in this way, severing ties with her family.

She ran and cried all the way.

After breakfast, Zong Bai was driven to sleep by Zong Yu. Mu shi asked the couple to go to sleep too. She felt her body was a bit better after drinking the medicine from her daughter-in-law.

She is the patient, nobody knows her own body better than she does.

Getting out of bed and making myself something to eat is no problem.

Besides, they hadn't finished their scallion pancakes for breakfast, so she didn't need to cook lunch. She could just heat some up and eat it.

Zong Yu and Fang Jinxiu returned to the room. She looked at the man's distracted appearance.

This man, he's got a sharp tongue but a kind heart. He was really harsh when he scolded people away, but I bet he's still worried about Yulian inside.

So she quickly climbed into bed and pretended to sleep dramatically.

"I'm so tired, my eyes won't open at all."

"Zongyu, I'm going to sleep first."

She rolled over and lay on her stomach, and after a short while, soft snores began to come from her, and her breathing became even.

Zongyu was indeed unable to sleep. After she fell asleep, he quietly got up, opened the door and went out again.

Fang Jinshi, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. After lying flat, she smiled helplessly and then closed her eyes again to sleep.

She was really tired.

As for when Zongyi came back, she didn't know. When she woke up again, the sun was already about to set.

The man lay beside her, fast asleep.

Fang Jinxiu didn't wake him up, she quietly got out of bed.

Zong Bai was also finished, carrying a bamboo basket and going out.

"Sister-in-law, you're awake."

She glanced at his attire, "Are you going to dig for wild vegetables"

Zong Bai nodded, "Yeah, the food Big Brother bought back needs to be rationed."ut early this morning. They left before dawn."Fāng Jǐnxiù's eyes flashed a trace of melancholy, "Well, I'll go wash my face."All day long, she did many things. She weeded the vegetable patch, and took...
