Chapter 42 What Are You Doing Here?

Zong Yulian didn't plan to go far after running away from home, so she hid in a place she often frequented and waited for her eldest and second brothers to come find her.

She knew that her two brothers would not leave her alone, they just ran out because they felt embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, he just met Zong Pingkang who was walking back.

Zong Pingkang was tired, hungry and thirsty. He turned Zong Yu and Fang Jinxiu over and over and scolded them countless times along the way.

If it weren't for these two bastards, he would have taken the money and sat comfortably back in an oxcart, and he wouldn't have arrived home even after dark.

When Zong Yulian saw her uncle, she shrank and stood up.

Zong Pingkang was startled when he heard the movement. If she hadn't stood up on her own, he wouldn't have seen anyone here.

"Who! Where is what?"

Zong Yulian shouted dryly, "Uncle."

"It's me, Yulian."

Zong Pingkang, like his father and mother, is very patriarchal. He doesn't have a good attitude towards his own daughter, let alone his brother's daughter.

In addition, she suffered so much anger at the hands of Zong Yu and his wife during the day, and she didn't look good when she saw Zong Yulian.

"What are you doing here?"

He originally wanted to ignore the girl and planned to continue walking home.

Suddenly remembered something.

He didn't gain anything from going to the town today. He heard from people in the town that a young wealthy businessman recently came to the town and wanted to marry a young and beautiful wife.

He looked at Zong Yulian, feeling overjoyed.

Isn’t this a ready-made young and beautiful candidate?

Since he is a wealthy businessman, he must be very generous.

If he can't get the money from Zong Yu, why can't he think of another way?

Everyone in the Zong family knew that Zong Yulian wanted to marry a rich man. This girl had said so when she was very young.

Zong Pingkang put away his ugly expression, forced out a smile, and his tone became much kinder. "Yulian, why are you alone in the mountains so late? It's so dangerous."

"Tell uncle, did something happen at home and you were wronged?"

Zong Yulian flinched. Even if she had trouble with her brothers, she still knew that her uncle was not a good person and would never be kind to their family.

"Don't be afraid. I'm your uncle. I can still harm you." Seeing that the girl was so wary, he simply stopped moving forward and stood there and started talking.

"Oh, I even cried."

"You must have been wronged."

"Is your eldest brother's newly married wife making you angry?"

The uncle was right about this. Zong Yulian nodded, feeling really unconvinced.

Just because the woman came back after earning some money for the family, they all started talking to her, and the eldest brother actually attacked her for two pieces of clothing.

Zong Yulian's face was full of dissatisfaction. After all, Zong Pingkang had lived a long time, and he could guess that this girl and Fang Jinxiu would definitely not be able to deal with each other.

Isn't this a great time?

"If you could marry into a rich family, no one would dare to look down on you."

Zong Yulian raised her head and glanced at her uncle, and these words entered her heart.

But now everyone here is panicked by the drought, and the rich have already boarded carriages overnight and moved to places with water to take refuge.

Besides, she can't even leave the house, so where can she marry into a rich family?

The dowry her eldest brother had saved for her was also sold by her mother to Fang Jinxiu and returned home. Her wish to marry into an ordinary family was shattered.

If she can marry into a rich family, she can indeed suppress Fang Jinxiu's arrogance and solve all the family's difficulties.

The eldest brother no longer has to work so hard to go hunting to earn money, the second brother can continue to study, and the mother's illness can be treated by the best doctor.

Ever since the drought, these things had been playing out in her mind countless times.

It's a pity that she didn't even have the chance to meet a kid from a rich family, so she only had a good appearance.
