Chapter 159 It makes sense

"You, girl, are you kidding us?" Old Man Zong was angry and angry, and it seemed he wanted to come up and beat her again.

Zong Yu glanced over coldly, blocking Fang Jinxiu behind him with a protective attitude. No one could get closer.

Fang Jinxiu looked completely confident due to his man's size and majesty.

He is not afraid of old man Zong's black face at all.

"When did I play tricks on you?" she said innocently.

Old Man Zong took back his hand and said through gritted teeth, "You yourself promised to pay for Xiaohu's treatment."

"Don't you want to say nothing?"

Fang Jinxiu originally wanted to heal Brother Zong Hu's injuries as soon as possible, but after hearing Sister Yan'er say a few words for her, she was forced by the family to jump into the river to prove her innocence.

The little fire in her heart burst out.

The Zong family was a big fire pit. She wanted to pull Wang Yaner out of the fire pit, but the key to getting out of the fire pit was Brother Zong Hu.

After all, he is the eldest grandson of the clan family, and the responsibilities on his shoulders are different from those of his younger brothers and sisters.

If Zong Hu is not completely disappointed with his family, it may be difficult to get him to agree to separate from the Zong family.

So Fang Jinxiu changed her strategy and wanted to use the money to make Brother Zong Hu wake up and see clearly whether the relatives around him were humans or ghosts.

"When will I stop keeping my words?"

"You ask me for four and a half taels of silver, and you're not afraid that your appetite will overwhelm you."

"Not to mention whether I have this much money, even if I did, I wouldn't give you so much."

"Do I look like I have the word "I've been taken advantage of" written on my face?"

"Four to fifty taels is enough to buy and sell six or seven people in the slave market. You really dare to ask for it."

When the people around heard the amount of money proposed by Old Man Zong, they started talking about it.

Now that Fang Jinxiu said this, they all nodded in agreement.

"That's right. Zong Hu's arm is not made of gold. To treat the injury, you need four to fifty taels of silver." "I have never seen so much money in my life."

"Er Mao broke his leg last time. His family scraped together seven ounces of money and not only healed his leg, they didn't even use up the money."

"Haven't you noticed yet? Old man Zong is looking at the life of his second wife, Zong Yu, and wants to blackmail him."

"It's not like they haven't done this before."

"Didn't they say that Zong Lao'er spent too much money on his family's education and asked them to repay the debt? It's reasonable to ask for money. After all, it's not easy for any family to cultivate a scholar."

"What are you talking about? Isn't the second son of the family their own son? You have to pay off debts to raise your own children?" A woman couldn't help but refuted the men's words.

This was what she came to realize after hearing what Fang Jinxiu said when she and the Zong family quarreled last time.

That's the truth. Raising children is to protect them from old age, but I haven't heard that the money spent on raising a son to study will eventually have to be repaid by the daughter-in-law and grandson.

It seemed like they were not a family.

Old man Zong's face became hot when he was irritated by the glances and words from the person next to him. He had never experienced such an degrading experience in his whole life.

"What's wrong with me asking for 50 taels of silver? The drought is severe right now. Do you think the world is still the same as before?"

"The price of food in the town has increased several times, let alone medicinal materials."

"My grandson's arm is broken. He has to recuperate at home for a long time and cannot work. If he doesn't work, he will have nothing to eat or drink."

"Is it possible that he only needs to take medicine and see a doctor to recover without eating or drinking?"

"There is also my great-grandson who was just born. The whole family relies on my eldest grandson to support the family. If he falls, can our family still be well?"

"If it weren't for helping this girl go up the mountain to find someone, my little tiger is still fine now, and we wouldn't have come to her to ask for money."

"Folks, please calculate this account carefully. Do you still think I want too much?"

The villagers gradually fell silent, and after a while some people began to nod.

"I think what Mr. Zong said is right. Zong Hu is the backbone of their family. If he overthrows the Zong family, how will this family live?"
