Chapter 32: Cruel Words Wound the Heart >

years, was it more wealth you took from Clan Honor, or was it more silver my father-in-law spent on his studies""Based on your family's yearly income, you could only afford to spend around five taels...As soon as she came back, she saw Zongping holding onto Zongyu tightly, crying and demanding money.

The common people pointed at Zong Yu, whispering amongst themselves.

Zong Yu held a sullen expression, carrying two large bags of grain in his hands. He seemed to be about to leave after finishing his shopping when he was stopped by someone.

"I have no money."

Fang Jinxiu hurriedly stood beside him, glaring angrily at Zong Pingkang.

The people in this ancestral home are really relentless, like leeches clinging to Zongyu, impossible to get rid of.

"If the child is sick, you should see a doctor. Uncle might have forgotten that our second branch of the family has already moved out."

"In this world today, we can't even guarantee our own survival. Even if we have money, of course we prioritize our own families first."

"Why should I give it to you."

Zongping pointed at the two large bags of food in Zongyu's hands and accused the people around him.

Fellow villagers, come and have a look!

They had money to buy grain, yet they wouldn't spare a single coin to save my grandson.

"What does it matter if you split up, your blood ties are still there, aren't they Are you really going to just stand by and watch Little Tiger die"

"Poor little grandson of mine, he's not even a month old yet."

"Shameless! How could our family produce such heartless and unrighteous things"

People are always more inclined to sympathize with the weak. Zongyu is tall and strong, and he's still carrying so much food.

Looking at Zong Pingkang, he seemed to be on purpose today, wearing an old and tattered garment. His appearance was much more disheveled than usual because of his hurried journey.

Seeing this, the onlookers were outraged and berated Zong Yu's conduct.

"Look at this guy, he doesn't look like a good person."

"That's right, the scar on his face is really scary. I think this family must be bullied by him all the time."

"Even his own nephew, he couldn't save him. What a cold and heartless person."

There was a middle-aged man, whose temperament was rather impulsive. While others only offered cold and harsh criticism, he picked up a stone and smashed the reputation of the clan.

"You monster, you're a blight on the world!"

"Big Brother, don't be afraid. With so many of us watching today, he's sure to pay up to save his grandson."

Zongping Kang probably didn't expect anyone to be so enthusiastic about helping him out. He was overjoyed and beamed with gratitude, thanking the person profusely.

Having said that, he glared at Zongyu again and angrily accused him, “He is your own uncle! He’s an elder who has watched you grow up!”

"To be devoid of compassion and righteousness is no different from a pig or a dog."

If you still have a shred of conscience, take the money and get your nephew treated by a doctor immediately.

"You're tall and strong, making money shouldn't be difficult. Why are you so stingy and heartless"

The old man's words resonated with the surrounding people. They had just been whispering amongst themselves, afraid to speak loudly because Zong Yu looked fierce and intimidating.

When one person stood up, the voices of others immediately grew louder.

Many people pressured Zongyu to pay them money.

Fan Jinyu was furious. Her good mood from earning money earlier had vanished. She glanced at Zong Yu's face, expecting him to be even angrier than her, but she found that he was the most composed person in the whole room.

It seemed like such a scene wasn't the first time he had witnessed it, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Fang Jinxiu was furious. Was it not the second or third time the clan had demanded money from him in this way

Has he always been bullied like this

She cried out and stood up, shielding Zongyu. “That’s enough!”

"You should know your limits when bullying people."

Zongyu was indeed accustomed to such scenes. He wasn't truly helpless, after all. He looked quite menacing, so these people only dared to talk.

If they really get going, they'll run faster than anyone else.

Although he looks fierce, he actually doesn't like to fight. Most of his bad reputation comes from the people in his family's old house spreading it around.

For the first time, someone stood up to protect him, just like yesterday in the village.

Zongyu looked at Fang Jinshu in astonishment and quickly pulled the person behind him.

"Don't worry, they can't hurt me one bit."

Fang Jinxiu turned back, angrily looking at him, “How can you say it’s not hurt They couldn't beat you, but their insults and hurtful words are damaging my heart.”
