Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Fang Wande's face suddenly turned angry, and he immediately rebuked, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Oh?" Fang Yu smiled meaningfully: "Granddaughter is not talking nonsense. Grandfather accepted thirty taels of betrothal gifts from the Lin family. That is no small amount. It should not be enough to pay off Uncle's gambling debt of fifty taels, right?"

She took two more steps forward: "You all spoke so highly of the Lin family just now, why don't you marry your sister into the family as well? Since it's a time to enjoy good fortune, your sister shouldn't be left out."

"No!" Zhu blurted out, then quickly softened her tone and tried to reason with her: "Yu'er, we really are doing this for your own good. Look how much your mother has worried about your illness, and your younger sister Xin'er, who goes up the mountain to collect herbs every day. It's all for you. Can you bear to see them working so hard?"

The original owner saw and remembered all their efforts over the years. If the original owner were still alive, she would have softened and compromised after hearing Zhu's words.

It's a pity she's not the original owner. Of course, having taken over the original owner's body, she would naturally treat the original owner's family as her own.

"Why waste time talking nonsense? You're getting married today whether you like it or not!" Zhang said, shoving Li aside. "Get out of the way!"

Fang Yu reached out to support Li Shi, his sharp gaze suddenly locking onto Zhang Shi, anger slowly rising from the depths of his eyes.

Zhang's heart immediately tightened, and her scalp tingled slightly. She muttered to herself, "That's strange. Why did she suddenly seem a little afraid of this brat?"

Fang Yu pulled Li Shi aside and said, "Mother, Grandpa and Grandma are determined to push their daughter into the fire today. Today it's me, tomorrow it will be Xin'er. We must make plans for ourselves."

Li raised her eyes, tears welling up, and murmured the names of her two daughters: "Yu'er, Xin'er..."

Li hesitated for a moment. She had insisted on marrying into the Fang family against her family's wishes, but fate had played a cruel trick on her...

"Mother?" Fang Yu called out again.

Li raised her head again, as if she had made up her mind, and walked up to Fang Wande: "Father-in-law, all the medicine that Yu'er has taken over the years has been dug up by your daughter-in-law from the mountain one by one. I have never used much of the family's money. I will help pay off the debts that my uncle owes. I only ask that you annul the marriage with the Lin family."

Weighing the pros and cons, if the Fang family can be kept at peace, sacrificing Fang Yu is nothing.

Fang Wande said, "A promise is a promise. How will outsiders view our Fang family in the future? Yu'er will get married sooner or later. Although Lin Wu has a bad temper, he is a skilled hunter. The Lin family said they will not mistreat Yu'er."

For so many years, Li had worked hard and dutifully in the Fang family, but she never expected to get such a result in return.

"Hehe..." She laughed out loud, a desolate and lonely laugh. Just now she still had a glimmer of hope for the Sang family, but now... it had vanished without a trace.

"Knock knock knock!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard gate, and Lin Wu's gruff voice came from outside: "Grandpa Fang, I've come to pick up my wife."

Zhu ran over and opened the door, beaming with joy as if she couldn't wait to send Fang Yu away: "Lin Wu is here, come in and sit down."

As soon as Lin Wu entered, he saw the slender Fang Yu standing to the side. He thought that if she took good care of herself for a while, she would definitely be able to give birth to a son. He secretly curled the corners of his lips and handed the few pheasants he was carrying to Fang Wande: "Grandpa, this is just a small token of my appreciation."

Uncle Fang Youcai, who had been hiding in the room, finally came out with a happy expression: "Lin Wu is here! Come in quickly, let's sit down and talk."

Li gripped Fang Yu's hand tightly, her body trembling slightly, but her voice was firm as she shouted, "My daughter will not marry!"

Lin Wu turned to look at her, his tone still quite gentle: "Mother-in-law, you are joking. Your Fang family has already accepted the betrothal gifts. It's probably too late to back out now."

Li was not afraid at all: "Don't call me mother-in-law. Marriage is a matter of parental choice. My daughter's marriage is my decision. You can go find whoever you gave your betrothal gifts to. My daughter will not marry!"

Li emphasized the last few words, her tone revealing a hint of anger.

"You shameless woman, you've gone too far!"

Zhang cursed loudly and rolled up his sleeves, ready to hit Li.

"Get out of the way!" Fang Yu stood in front of Li Shi, suddenly changing his demeanor. With a stern and cold expression, he raised his hand and pushed Zhang Shi aside.

No one expected that this usually frail person would have such great strength today, actually throwing Zhang to the ground.

Everyone's gaze froze in astonishment at that moment.

Fang Yu had long since lost her patience, but she hadn't expected Zhang to actually hurt someone, so there was no need for her to pretend anymore.

Worried that she might hurt herself by moving, Madam Li quickly asked, "Yu'er, are you alright?"

"Damn it, look at this! This little hussy even dares to hit me! She's completely lawless!"

Fang Yu shook his head, and Zhang Shi sat down on the ground, slapping her thighs and howling. Even when Zhu Shi tried to help her up, she was pushed away.

Lin Wu was also stunned, speechless. Was this the same Fang Yu who was so delicate and petite, as if she would break if you squeezed her?

"What's the noise?"

Fang Wande gave a cold snort and said to Lin Wu in a commanding tone, "Take Yu-jie back to your home first."

"Don't come any closer!" Fang Yu's narrowed eyes revealed a hint of displeasure. "Grandpa, can't you hear me? I won't marry him!"

She looked at Lin Wu again: "You insist on forcibly taking a woman from the people, aren't you afraid I'll report you to the authorities?"

Fang Yu knew that if she wanted Fang Wande to agree to annul the engagement, it would be better to have Lin Wu take the initiative to annul the engagement.

She bluntly said, "My uncle is a compulsive gambler. This time you were able to exchange me for thirty taels of silver from your Lin family to form a marriage alliance between the Fang and Lin families. But what if there's a next time? Aren't you afraid that Fang Youcai will never change his ways, and how much silver does your Lin family have to make up for it?"

Fang Youcai angrily shouted, "Shut up, you brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"

After cursing, he put on a smiling face and looked at Lin Wu: "Don't listen to this brat's nonsense, it's not true at all."

Lin Wu wasn't stupid; he naturally noticed Fang Youcai's barely concealed guilty expression, as well as the strange looks on the other members of the Fang family. The Lin family's money didn't come from thin air.

He looked at Fang Wande and said, "Grandpa Fang, the marriage between our two families should be a joyous occasion. Although I, Lin Wu, am just a peasant, I would never force Yu-jie to marry me if she doesn't want to."

He paused for a moment, then said, "This marriage should be called off. I will go back and explain it to my father."

"Young Lin!" Fang Wande still wanted to persuade him to stay.

As a result, Lin Wu left without looking back. Although he did not immediately ask for the return of the betrothal gifts, Fang Wande knew what to do since things had been said to this extent.

"You brat, you've ruined such a good marriage."

Fang Youcai cursed and cursed, but he was already panicking inside. If he couldn't pay back the money, his legs would really be broken.
