Chapter 102: Under the Table's Tug-of-War

ng blankly at her, motionless, and her heart was pounding.Could it be that she was too fierce just now, scaring people awayHer hand was suddenly seized by a man, and Fang Jinshu instantly came to her...Their eyes met, and a spark of something ambiguous seemed to ignite between them, drawing them in irresistibly.

Zongyu gave her a chopstick of vegetables, barely restraining some impulse so as not to embarrass himself at the dinner table in front of his mother and younger brother.

Fang Jinshu sat beside him, and through his slightly flushed cheeks, it seemed she saw something.

Under the table, she lightly brushed Zongyu's sturdy thighs with her legs. The two layers of thin fabric on their bodies couldn't isolate the burning heat emanating from each other's skin.

Upon being touched on his thigh, Zong Yu reacted quite strongly. His body almost immediately stiffened and tensed up.

Fang Jinshui thought it was too much fun.

Well, after a meal like that, the innocent rough guy was thoroughly amused.

He gobbled down the remaining cookies in a few bites and ran off, claiming he had to clean up the vegetable patch.

"Mu sighed helplessly, "What are you preparing dishes for so late at night"

"Where can you see it"

"Zong Bai, go call your older brother back. Tomorrow, you stay at home and help your sister-in-law tidy up the vegetable garden."

Zong Bai received the order and immediately nodded, promising not to run around tomorrow.

Fang Jinshu packed up the bowls and chopsticks, then suddenly spoke, “Mother, should I go take a look”

Mu hastily grabbed her youngest son, pulling him back. She smiled and nodded at Fang Jinshi.

"Alright, let Jinshu go call."

"You put the bowl aside and let Zongbo wash it."

Zong Bai thought to himself, "I'm just like a brick; wherever I'm needed, that's where I go. Before his mother even looked over, he immediately picked up the bowls and chopsticks and eagerly said...

"I wash dishes, I wash dishes, I like washing dishes the most."

"Sister-in-law, you should go and check on your brother. He's tired after a long day."

Fang Jinshui nodded and turned to walk out the door.

Mu smiled.

"Mother, why did you suddenly call me over"

Mrs. Mu glared at her youngest son, “Of course it’s to give your brother and sister-in-law more opportunities to get along and cultivate their relationship.”

"You're still young, you don't understand."

Zong Bai smiled ambiguously, "Oh, so it's about cultivating feelings then."

How could he not understand He's fifteen, for goodness sake.

In the village, everyone his age who was a father already had one.

"But your sister-in-law was bought by you. Would she really be willing to stay in our family and be a wife to your elder brother forever"

As soon as the youngest son finished speaking, a flicker of uncertainty crossed Mrs. Mu's face.

As long as we are good enough to her, she will definitely stay.

"Your sister-in-law is not the kind of person who forgets kindness and repays evil."

Zong Bai didn't think so. "Of course, I can see that my sister-in-law is a good person, but she doesn't look like a village girl."

"I'm afraid that after the drought is over, my sister-in-law will have repaid her debt and leave."

Then what will Big Brother do

Mu hurriedly spat a few times, "Damn boy, don't talk nonsense."

"I guess you can't count on your big brother to do the right thing."

After she spoke, she let out a sigh.

Mu was different from other village women. She had read books and seen a bit of the world when she was young. Of course, she knew that the more capable a person was, the less willing they were to live an ordinary life.

They were truly just an ordinary farming family in a remote mountain village. Although their eldest son, Zongyu, was skilled at hunting and could provide for the family, he lacked in other areas.

She was also afraid that Fang Jinshu would dislike her eldest son for being rough and fierce. But the eldest son had an honest personality and was tongue-tied, so he couldn't say anything nice to please people.

Now, she can only hope that her son will become more discerning soon so that Jinxiu can get pregnant. As long as there's a child, her daughter-in-law won't leave.

The two people outside had no idea that Mu, separated by a wall, had already decided on the name of their future child.

Fang Jinshu lifted the oil lamp and saw Zong Yu had taken off his shirt. He was working in the moonlight, hoeing the vegetable patch with his bare arms exposed.

She wanted to call him back, but when she saw his well-built upper body, her eyes stuck to Zong Yu like glue and couldn't move away.

The cold moonlight shone on his defined muscles, making her want to drool.

Wow, how can a man's muscles be so well-defined and attractive, with smooth lines and just the right amount of definition Each muscle is clearly visible.

She counted his abs when he turned to face her, eight. Not too many, not too few.

Oh my god! There's even a mermaid-style line, and her pants are so low-waisted, who is she trying to tempt!

Last time Fang Jinshu only felt the man's muscle through his clothes. This time, seeing it with her own eyes was a huge shock.

Her nostrils were so stuffy that warm liquid was dripping down her nose, but she didn't notice until Zongyu's expression changed and he nervously walked towards her.

"Jinxiu, you're bleeding!"t!"Ever since news spread through the capital about her engagement to the second son of Duke Zong, she had been living it up in the circle of aristocratic ladies. She was truly powerful for quite some...
