Chapter 38 She Told Whomshe Wanted

e of them that we were able to dig a canal and have clean water to drink.”"But now the village is running short of food, and everyone's going hungry. My lord magistrate, I beg you to sell the barren m...Zongyu opened the door and came out, then shut it tightly behind him.

"Little dot, your sister-in-law is asleep."

Zong Bai was stunned for a moment, "It seems like today Sister-in-law is really tired."

Zongyu nodded and handed the water pouch in his hand to his younger brother.

"There's still quite a bit of water in there, take it and put it away."

This clean water was bought back from the town at a cost, they had just fed Fang Jinshi quite a lot of it. Zong Yu was also thirsty, but the clean water was truly precious, he couldn't bear to drink it.

Turning, he walked to the kitchen and drank from the water he had drawn from the secret spring. Even after settling for a long time, the water still retained a slightly yellowish tinge.

At first glance, there are a lot of impurities, and the taste is also strange.

But they had no choice right now, having water was better than not having any.

Zong Yulian excitedly held the box and came to Mu's bedside, "Mother, look, Big Brother brought back so many good things."

"This boar must have sold for a good sum of silver."

Mu lay in bed, a faint smile on her face. How long had it been since the children at home were this happy

Zong Yulian flipped through and through until she found the cloth bag for clothes. She exclaimed in surprise.

"Mother, it's new clothes!"

"Big brother bought us new clothes!"

No young girl could resist the temptation of new clothes. Zong Yulian excitedly opened the package and took out each piece of women's clothing, trying it on one by one.

"This looks nice, I haven't worn new clothes in ages."

"Mom, look, doesn't this color suit me"

Zong Yulian's skin was fairer than most girls in the village. While other girls had to work in the fields, she had a pair of good brothers who doted on her very much.

She has always been kept at home doing chores and hasn't been allowed outside to experience the wind or sunshine.

Before the drought, Zongyu cleared two acres of wasteland at the foot of the mountain and planted some grain. He and Zongbei took care of it themselves, never letting their younger sister work in the fields.

She has a slender figure and inherited the Mu family's beautiful features.

From a young age, Zong Yu Lian felt deep down that she was different from the other girls in the village. She could read and write, even though she didn't know much, which was still far better than them.

Zongyu came into his mother's house and as soon as he entered, he saw his younger sister holding the clothes he had bought for Fang Jinshu and trying them on.

He strode over and snatched the clothes away.

"This is not for you."

"Your and your mother's clothes are in another bag."

He carefully folded his clothes and put them away neatly, making Zong Yulian so angry she stamped her feet.

"Big brother! You're biased."

Mrs. Mu hastily spoke up, telling her daughter to stop making a fuss. Her voice was still weak and she lacked strength.

"Alright, Yu Lian, there are four sets of clothes in this bag. They're all yours. Don't fight with your sister-in-law over them."

"She just came to our home, and she doesn't even have decent clothes to change into. Listen to me, don't speak to your older brother like that."

Zong Yulian sat back beside her mother with a huff, pouting with grievance.

"Mother, don't spoil her."

Jinxiu said, "Each person has two sets of clothes. She bought them according to your size, Yu Lian can't wear them."

Zong Yulian's anger turned into grief and she buried her face in Mu Shi's quilt, crying out loud.

Mu was getting a headache from all the noise, and she closed her eyes in discomfort.

Seeing this, Zongyu grabbed his sister's collar and pulled her out.

Enough.

"The money to buy these things was earned by your sister-in-law through her prescriptions. She said whoever receives them gets them."

"If you keep making a fuss, I'll take your clothes away."

Zong Yulian had never liked Fang Jinshu to begin with. She had only been in the house for two days, and now the whole family was speaking to her.

She used to be the most favored one in this family, but now with the eldest and second brother, as well as their mother, all having eyes only for Fang Jinshu, she is completely forgotten.

"Just don't if you don't want to!"

"I don't care about the clothes she bought!"

zong yulian ran out crying, bumping into zong bai who had run out of the kitchen hearing the commotion. She shoved her second brother aside and ran out of the house.

"Big brother, what's wrong with Jade Lotus"

"The sky is so dark, maybe I should go find her back."s she really intend to teach Hu Ai-lan how to look at the ledgerJust now, when Hu Ai-lan spoke, Mu Shi felt very uncomfortable.To put it simply, Jinxiu was indeed forcibly bought back by their family....
