Chapter 16 Asking for Money

Mrs. Liu's daughter-in-law stood at the door with her child in her arms, watching eagerly. They hadn't eaten dinner yet.

She couldn't lose face in front of her juniors. Although Mrs. Liu had separated her family and moved out, she was still her mother-in-law after all.

She still didn't believe that she couldn't cure a broken medicine jar that had spent most of its life in the Palace of Hell.

As the sky turned dark, Wu went out angrily and headed up the mountain, regardless of his wife's obstruction.

Old man Zong frowned and said to his eldest son, "Why are you going out so late at night?"

"Boss, go with your mother and call her back."

Zong Kangping nodded at first, then hesitantly came back to his senses as soon as he took a step out and asked, "Dad, what should I do with the pork if I call mother back?"

Today they only had their lunch meal, which was all watery. They were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

They heard that Zong Yu had come back from hunting wild boars, but they were so happy that they were waiting to eat meat at night.

Call your mother back and ask them what they're going to eat tonight.

Old man Zong became angry when he saw his son's lack of eyesight. If the second son was not dead, he would really be too lazy to give the boss a good look.

Among the three sons, the eldest is the most greedy and selfish.

Old man Zong didn't care about his virtues, he was just angry that he was greedy, brainless and as stupid as a pig.

But now the family's labor force relies on the eldest and the third child. The eldest son is stupid, but fortunately he is obedient.

"It's late at night and the mountain road is so difficult to walk. If your mother falls, can you afford to find a doctor for her, or can you treat her yourself?"

"I understand that boy Zong Yu. If he doesn't want to give it, you can't do anything just sit in front of his house and make noise all night."

"That bastard boy has a stupid head."

Zong Kangping was anxious, "How dare he refuse to give it!"

"At the beginning, he personally promised to repay the debt the second son owed to the family, so you and your mother agreed to give them the shabby house on the mountainside."

"This kid wants to turn his back on his fault now, but there's no way he can!"

"If he dares to refuse to pay, I will drive them out now so that their family will not even have a place to live. Let's see if he dares to refuse."

Old man Zong glared at his eldest son angrily. "Why wouldn't he dare?"

"Do you really think that kid doesn't talk at all and doesn't have a clue in his heart?"

"The drought is getting more and more serious now. The food and money our family has saved must not be used unless absolutely necessary."

"If you drive them to death, who will hunt for us in the future?"

"The little wealth I have in hand will be reserved for Xiao Xiaohu to study in the future."

"If our family wants to get ahead and get out of this big mountain, the only way out is to let our children study and gain fame."

Zong Kangping is a rough man. He doesn't understand why his father is so insistent on letting his children go to school.

According to his thoughts, he could hardly eat at the moment, so he was still thinking about studying.

Even if you read it, you may not be able to get ahead.

Isn't the second child the best example? So much money was spent on him, but he died before even stepping through the gate of the capital.

The family lost so much money.

If the money had not been spent on him, he could have gone to the town to open a shop and be the owner of the business. This is not much better than spending it on him.

Old man Zong looked at his son's secretly dissatisfied eyes, shook his head and sighed in his heart.

Why is he talking so much to this elm? If he could understand, he would be successful long ago.

"Go and find your mother quickly."

"Zong Yu's wife really has to retire, there's no need to make trouble at night."

"Tomorrow morning, I will go find Liu in person."

When Zong Kangping heard that the old man was not against his mother's intention to drive Fang Jinxiu away, but also wanted to take action personally, his expression immediately changed 180 degrees.

"I'm going right now."

If Fang Jinxiu could be returned, would Mu's money for marrying his wife be returned?
