Back then, I was young

bring that country bumpkin doctor back"Lord Zhao let out a cold snort, his eyes flashing with cruel ferocity."If Xiao Jiu can really bring the person back, it would save us a lot of trouble.""Zhao th...Zong Yu had no intention of paying any attention to Hu Ai Lan. He pretended not to see the woman walk past him.

Hu Ai-lan's smile froze on her face, but only for a moment. She immediately reacted, turning around and grabbing Zong Yu's sleeve.

"Brother Zongyu, we at least spent a night as husband and wife, why are you so cold to me"

Hu Ailan's words hadn't even finished when Du Zongyu almost flung her out. He had a frosty expression and eyes like daggers.

"If you dare to utter another word, I'll make sure you can never speak again."

Hu Ailan trembled all over, her body shaking slightly under his terrifying gaze.

Zongyu's expression made her realize he wasn't joking, nor was he deliberately trying to scare her. Fear drove Hu Ailan to shake her head quickly, indicating that she wouldn't dare speak again.

"You better do as you said and work hard in the old house, or this village won't have room for you anymore."

After finishing his words, Zong Yu immediately raised his foot and continued chasing after Fang Jinxiu.

As soon as he left, Hu Ai-lan's tense body relaxed slightly, and she dared to let herself take deep breaths.

Although her body trembled with fear, Hu Ai-lan's eyes betrayed a heart filled with unwillingness.

The more he shunned Fang Jinshu, the person he cared about, the more unwilling Hu Ailan was to accept it.

Why, in what way is she inferior to Fang Jinshu

As for who came first, it was her who had been engaged to Zongyu first and who knew him first.

She had spent over two years trying to win over the Mu family, but Fang Jinshu only arrived recently. How could she possibly have earned everyone's love and support!

The parched earth yielded two deep furrows where Hu Ailan's fingers dug. Zhao shi emerged from the house, a flicker of sympathy in her eyes.

"You clumsy girl." She walked forward and helped her up.

Zhao had already been scolded by the village head Wang and his son. Even if she used to be close with Hu Ailan's mother, she couldn't interfere in the affairs of the Zongyu family.

This whole thing was caused by Hu Ai-lan's own actions. If she hadn't left the Zong family and married someone else, Zong Yu wouldn't have had the chance to marry Fang Jin-xiu.

Hu Ailan grabbed Zhao Shi's hand, "Aunt Zhao, why can't Zongyu see me in his eyes"

"Clearly, I am the one who is betrothed to him."

"Fang Jinshi is nothing but a poor girl they bought. What right does she have to hold onto Brother Zongyu and not give him back to me."

The person who should marry Brother Zongyu is me.

Back then, few people in the village knew about Hu Ailan eloping with a man from another village and remarrying, except for the Zongyu family and the Wang Village Chief's family.

Seeing her pitiful appearance now, Zhao shi hesitated to say anything that might add to her distress.

"If you hadn't left back then, wouldn't you be his wife now"

"You foolish girl, why are you so clueless!"

Hearing this, Hu Ailan not only didn't feel she was wrong, but instead excitedly shouted, "I was young back then, and Zongyu brother ignored me all day long. Although Mu aunt kept me by her side, I always felt like an outsider."

"Auntie Zhao, everyone was young and foolish once. Now I know I was wrong. But Brother Zongyu is too heartless. He doesn't even give me a chance to apologize."

Back then, he was bitten by a poisoned weasel and became delirious. It was I who tirelessly took care of him, even though... " Hu Ai-lan bit her lower lip, deliberately making her words vague.

Still wearing a bashful expression, anyone who saw her would misunderstand.

"You, you silly girl, you gave your body to him" Zhao asked in surprise.

Hu Ai-lan lowered her head without a word, adopting an attitude of tacit consent.

"Zhao fumed, "What a shameless clan boy! You took such a huge advantage and dare to deny it!"

Hu Ailan was the daughter of her old friend. Zhao shi had always felt sorry for her. If it weren't for Village Head Wang and Tie Zhu repeatedly reminding her not to meddle in Zong Yu's family affairs, Zhao shi would have long since stood up to fight for Hu Ailan's justice.

Now that she knew about this, she couldn't help but feel both angry and heartbroken.

“I still thought that boy was a truly honest and upright gentleman, who would never do such irresponsible, beastly things. He ate everything clean and then denied it all!”

"Hey, you! Get up. Zhao's wife will definitely help you get justice for this."ds off the hook.Where did they fight"Right at the village entrance!"Village Head Zhao hurried toward the village entrance.As soon as Wang Mingxia heard about the commotion, she rushed home to tell her...
