Chapter 73: To Go or to Stay?

ottom of a pot, but in reality, he was blooming with joy inside. He had returned late last night and only this morning did he hear from Liu Shi about her being beaten. Before he could even eat breakfa...Su Yusheng's face paled, anger flared instantly, and his facade couldn't hold any longer.

After being shocked, Zong Yulian rushed forward. If it weren't for Zong Yu timely blocking her, she could have pushed Fang Jinshu directly down.

"Fang Jinshi, you've gone too far. You're deliberately toying with Su Lang."

Su Yusheng thought the same way, his face gloomy.

Fang Jinxiu could hardly stand to see Zong Yulian, who was completely head over heels in love. She wasn't even fifteen years old yet! To be so desperate for marriage

He spent ten taels of silver to marry her, and he was willing to spend 30,000 taels of white silver for a single White Lingzhi. She hasn't seen the situation clearly yet

"Zong Bai, take your sister aside and don't delay my business with Master Su."

It's really like they haven't even entered someone's house yet, but their elbows are already starting to point outward.

Zong Bai obediently pulled Zong Yu Lian aside. Zong Yu Lian was reluctant to leave and only calmed down after receiving a stern glare from Zong Yu.

With Zong Yulian no longer at the front to question her, Su Yusheng could only speak for herself.

"At this price, sis-in-law, aren't you joking with me"

Even if you are a thousand-year-old white lingzhi, auctioned at the public auction house in Muyu Prefecture, it wouldn't sell for this high a price.

Thirty thousand taels of gold, that's thirty million taels of silver!

That's enough to buy three or four big mountains of Nomura.

Besides, there's a medicinal herb growing inside. Su Yusheng couldn't possibly spend that much money on her; he's not a fool.

Fang Jinxiu seemed to have known he would refuse, and she pursed her lips with a helpless expression.

"Well, since you can't afford it, just go back."

As she spoke, she put the white lingzhi away.

Seeing this, Su Yusheng's face darkened even further. This woman, she actually played cards so off-handedly.

He had been searching for a thousand-year-old white lingzhi mushroom for several years, and he was determined to get the one in Jinxiu's hands.

Su Yusheng calmed himself down and tried to bargain with her.

"Sister-in-law, do you know how many taels of silver are equivalent to 30,000 taels of gold"

"Given your family's situation, even if I gave you this much money, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to keep it."

Fang Jinxiu smiled and took Zongyu's arm, pulling her sturdy and tall husband out.

"I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't you worry about whether we can keep this money, Su Gongzi."

"You better think about whether you can actually afford that much money first."

If not, then don't waste my time talking here.

"Only three ten thousand taels of gold, not a single penny less, will I sell."

Su Yusheng nearly choked out a mouthful of old blood, forgetting to feign composure and blurting out her name.

"Fang Jinshui, you're ruthless!"

Thirty thousand taels of gold... It would probably take all the silver in the Su family's accounts to even reach that amount.

When he came, he dared to dream of taking Bai Lingzhi away with just one thousand taels.

Zong Jia's lion's big mouth really opened his eyes. Su Yu angrily flew out of Zong Jia's courtyard and walked towards the village downhill.

Zong Yulian, seeing the situation, immediately shook off her second brother's hand and glared fiercely at Fang Jinshu.

"Fang Jinxiu, do you have any shame You're charging an exorbitant price for a mere Lingzhi mushroom."

"You're making things difficult for Su Lang on purpose, aren't you You want me to be disliked by Su Lang and have a miserable time in the Su family"

"See, Big Bro, I told you she was a vicious woman. You didn't believe me back then, but now you see"

"She only has silver in her eyes. I think she'll leave our family sooner or later for the sake of money!"

"But big brother, you're just a hunter in the mountains. You can't protect her, and you can't keep her."

Zong Yulian, having successfully sown discord, chased after Su Yusheng's footsteps and went down the mountain as well.

Silence returned to the small courtyard immediately.

Zong Bai turned his head to comfort Fang Jinxiu, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to Yu Lian talk nonsense, I believe you."

Fang Jinshi raised an eyebrow. What did she believe

Do you believe she won't leave the family

To be honest, Fang Jinshi hadn't even considered that she would stay at the Zong family for her whole life.

After all, she was a modern woman. Even though she married Zong Yu, it was only out of gratitude and the circumstances at the time that forced her to do so.

The clan is her only refuge now. She has no idea where else she could go if she left.

But whether she would have to stay here for the rest of her life, she really wasn't sure.

Zong Yu saw Fang Jinxiu fall silent and not speak, his heart skipped a beat at that moment.w, which was comparable to bullets.The problem is her archery skills need improvement. Luckily, there are plenty of targets, so she just needs to watch out for General Xiao Zhao and can shoot at the o...
