cle Wang, Yu Lian has caused a lot of trouble for you these days living at your house.""This bit of meat is nothing, you can take it.""I know you're a good child, so I won't stand on ceremony with you..."I'd like to get married too, but someone has to be willing to marry me first," she muttered softly.

Zongping was overjoyed upon hearing this and rushed forward.

"Yes!"

"Someone is willing to marry you, as long as you are willing to meet him with me. Based on your looks, you're sure to be chosen!"

Zong Yulian was greatly startled and suddenly raised her head.

"Uncle, you're not lying to me, are you" she said, still half-believing.

She had seen how her uncle and aunt had treated her family over the years. She even almost fought with her older brother and his family yesterday! There was no way they would suddenly start helping her.

Zhongpingkang saw that this girl still didn't quite trust him, and immediately said half-truthfully.

"I'm telling you this, of course, not entirely for your sake."

"Recently, a young wealthy businessman came to town. He's passing through on business and will be staying here for a while."

"His mother fell suddenly seriously ill at home, and urgently needed a marriage to bring good luck. They're planning to find a young woman here to marry."

"The reason I told you such an important piece of news is that, on one hand, I feel sorry for you being bullied at home." Zong Yulian wasn't quite sure about this.

She was more inclined to believe that her uncle had seen through the rift between her and Fang Jinshu, intending to help her up to take revenge on Fang Jinshu and vent his anger.

If that were the case, Zong Yulian wouldn't object.

Anyway, she dislikes Fang Jinshu too. If Fang Jinshu really marries a wealthy businessman, the first thing she'll do is ask her older brother to divorce her!

"Well, on the other hand," Sōhei said with a sly smile, rubbing his hands together.

"I'll connect you with the wealthy businessman. If it goes well, you should give my uncle a good reward."

Word on the street is that the wealthy merchant's servant put out a message saying that whoever can provide a suitable young woman will be rewarded with ten ounces of silver.

He didn't mention this to Zong Pingkang, instead, he let Zong Yulian return him a favor.

This way, he could get double the reward money. He thought he was incredibly smart.

When Zong Yulian heard this, she chuckled softly.

This is exactly the kind of thing his uncle would do, always obsessed with money.

"But how can I believe Uncle's words are true"

Zongping Kang twitched his lips, this girl was clearly moved, what was she pretending to be.

He gave Zong Yulian a powerful dose of poison.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to town and ask people yourself."

However, time probably won't allow it. The wealthy merchant has been here for quite some days, and I heard that tomorrow is the last day. If he doesn't find a suitable girl, he will leave.

"Your older brother's fists are so powerful, why would I lie to you What if he comes knocking and tears our house down"

If you don't believe me, just forget it. Pretend I never saw you tonight and didn't say anything.

As he spoke, he continued down the mountain with his hands behind his back, but his eyes kept darting to check on Zong Yulian's movements.

After taking only a few steps, she sure enough caught up.

"Uncle, Uncle, please don't leave."

Zong Yulian was indeed in a hurry. If she missed this opportunity, she truly didn't know if she could last until the end of the drought.

She might die of thirst or starvation before that day comes.

She grasped Zongping Kang's sleeve, gritting her teeth.

"I believe my uncle wouldn't lie to me."

But if that merchant is leaving tomorrow, how can I possibly make him see me

Zongping, seeing someone had taken a liking to him, reluctantly said, "Yeah, that's also a problem."

"I just got back from town, though I could go again if I wanted to, it's just too tiring."

Zhong Yulian knew that her uncle was usually lazy and didn't like to work hard. It was completely normal for him to be lazy after walking such a long distance.

She even began to fear that her uncle, because he was too lazy to move, would no longer help her introduce wealthy businessmen.

quickly blurted out.

"Please, Uncle, just take me to town one more time."

"If I could marry a wealthy businessman, I would definitely reward you handsomely."

"I will never let your hard work today be in vain."ur honorable name, sister”Fang Jinshi announced her own name, and the Fifth Miss warmly called her Sister Jinshi.No one expected Miss Wu to be so outgoing. Fang Jinshu was quickly used to it, after al...
