บท 45: Chapter 45 Must I be doomed to hang on a single tree of your Wang Family? (Revised)

Walking home, Wang Yongzhu engaged in sporadic conversation with Jinhua, her mind still preoccupied with the matters she had just heard about. She had never dealt with such issues before, and one misstep might mean not only mutual destruction for the Wang Family and the Li Family, but what she feared most was that Fourth Brother Wang Yongping would become estranged from the family.

As she grappled with her thoughts, she spotted a familiar figure—who else could it be but Wang Yongping?

Smiling foolishly, with something bulky in his arms, he was headed in the direction of the Li Family, wasn't he?

Wang Yongzhu furrowed her brows, halted her steps, and instructed Jinhua, "You go back first. I have a little matter to attend to and will be back shortly."

Jinhua nodded obediently, without daring to ask further, and carrying her basket on her back, she headed home.

Wang Yongzhu hurriedly followed behind Wang Yongping on his way to the Li Family.
