Chapter 34: The Demon's Infamy

e two, extending her still tender ten fingers, and shouted righteously."Didn't you say I was going to marry into a wealthy family and become a mistress These hands mustn't get rough from hard work!""I...The old man blushed, stammered awkwardly, and felt ashamed. He glared fiercely at Zongpingkang.

"If I had known you were like this, I wouldn't have spoken up for you!"

He cupped his hands together and politely apologized, "Young man, I'm truly sorry for what just happened."

Zong Yu coldly ignored him, his eyes fixed on Fang Jinxiu, unable to look away.

"You, you, what nonsense are you talking about."

"When did we all just let him raise himself"

Fang Jinxiu wouldn't give Zong Pingkang another chance to pester her. She pressed forward relentlessly, unleashing a decisive blow.

"Can that uncle swear to heaven"

Since the drought came, your family hasn't been getting their food and water from my husband. They've been earning it themselves.

"Dare you"

"Giants three feet tall have gods. Whoever speaks ill of them will be struck by five thunders from the heavens and, after death, will go to hell without end and be tortured day by day."

"If you dare to swear this oath to God, I'll give you the money without a word."

Zong Pingkang is greedy and lazy, wanting money but not being willing to risk his life. How could he possibly make such a dangerous oath

Moreover, this dead girl wasn't wrong. Their family has indeed been living off Zong Yu's reputation for the past six months.

The crops in the fields were all withered from drought, and the wild vegetables had been dug up by villagers. What remained was old and tough; they couldn't stomach it, so they simply didn't bother to dig any more.

Fan Jinshi watched him hesitate, her steps retreating.

"What, Uncle afraid"

"Just now didn't you say I was talking nonsense and that we were heartless, unfilial, and cruel"

I just want to ask everyone, is my husband considered heartless and unfilial Then what kind of person would be considered filial

"Could it be that true filial piety means sacrificing all your own flesh and blood to feed them, watching your mother and siblings starve while you nourish this entire family of able-bodied relatives"

An old woman couldn't stand it any longer, and angrily pointed at Zongpingkang and scolded him.

"Bah! So it was you lot all along, twisting the truth and bullying honest people!"

"Eight out of ten, that grandson's illness is probably an excuse he made up to gain sympathy and get money."

"Come on, at his age, he's really shameless!"

Fang Jinshi's words successfully shifted the blame from Zong Yu to Zong Pingkang. Zong Pingkang didn't have Zong Yu's good mental state and was so scolded that he couldn't hold his head up, roaring with anger.

He couldn't possibly argue with so many people around, so he could only stomp his feet and run away.

Fang Jinxiu generously thanked everyone, these people although easy to believe one-sided words, are still simple at heart.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to so easily incite them to fight for honor and drive Pingkang away.

After everyone else had left, she turned around and found that Zongyu had been watching her the whole time.

Fang Jinshi touched her own face, puzzled in her heart. Could it be that just now, her appearance was too fierce and scared Zongyu

"Well, I, I'm not usually like this."

"Just now, this wasn't because I was upset that they said that about you, right"

“You're the same way, don't be so straightforward and honest. When you're misunderstood, you don't even defend yourself, letting others from your family smear your reputation.”

"Judging by your reputation as a demon, it's probably them who spread the rumors about you."

Zong Yu was stunned, "Yasha"

He looks so clueless, he doesn't even know what's going on.

"Yeah, your reputation precedes you. It's spread all over the surrounding villages."

After two days of getting to know each other, Fang Jinshi discovered that Zong Yu's personality was completely different from his cold and hard appearance.

Don't say it's fierce, this guy has a frightening amount of strength, but his personality is extremely peaceful.

He doesn't really care what others think of him, and he's also easy to get along with.

"Oh, no problem, I don't mind."

Look at this, saying such honest words with such a fierce face, is that reasonable

Fang Jinshi was so angry with him, "You, just forget it."

Zongyu usually doesn't care about what others think of him, but right now he really cares about Fang Jinshui's feelings. Seeing her fuming with a stern face and her hands and feet moving clumsily.

His tongue felt clumsy, and after a long struggle he finally managed to utter a sentence.

"Well, then I'll make them shut up after this."

"Don't be angry."s, there was nothing that a sister-in-law couldn't do."Well, of course, I'm not as awesome as your sister-in-law.""Thank you, sister-in-law! We won't go hungry tonight!"Tie Zhu hurriedly picked up the...
