on and should at least care about her future mother-in-law's condition."Sir Su, what illness does your mother have that all the doctors are helpless against"Su Yusheng's parents were doing very well,...After dinner, Zongyu kept worrying about the money needed for the old house. Mu, taking advantage of his daughter-in-law's inattention, pulled his eldest son into the room.

Fang Jinshi was outside preparing medicine for Su Yusheng and didn't notice their movements for a while.

Mu stirred about in her luggage for a long time, finally pulling out a small box.

Inside was a pair of silver earrings, looking quite old. The surface had been polished to a high shine.

Mu Shi reluctantly caressed it for a moment, then handed it to Zong Yu.

"Mother, what are you going to do with this"

"This is the only heirloom your grandmother left you."

Mu lowered her hand, reluctantly letting go, and turned to a worried expression.

"It was my idea to ask villagers for help looking for you on the mountain. It has nothing to do with Jinxiu."

"I can't bear to see Zong Hu suffer with a disabled arm. Mother knows you probably don't have much money, this is the only thing Mother could come up with."

"At least it's silver, worth something."

"You take this, if it's not enough we'll figure something out."

In Mu's heart, Fang Jinshu had long been considered family. When encountering difficulties, they would naturally take responsibility together.

She already felt guilty towards her daughter-in-law. She couldn't give her anything, and besides, she needed her daughter-in-law's family to worry about her every day and stand up for her.

Zongyu pushed the things back.

"Mother, Jinxiu won't want it."

"Leave the silver to us, we'll figure something out. Don't worry about it."

Mu suddenly frowned and glared at her son.

"What do you mean 'just ignore it' Your grandmother and the others are demanding compensation of forty or fifty taels of silver. Even if we include this wild boar, we couldn't possibly come up with that much!"

"Jinxiu has offended your grandmother and great-uncle's wife to give us a good name."

"Tomorrow, they'll come to your door. If you don't pay them, they'll find some other way to humiliate Jinxiu."

"You can bear to see your daughter-in-law being scolded, but I can't bear to see my daughter-in-law being wronged."

Fang Jinxiu, seeing that Zong Yu was not at home, had Su Yusheng take the medicine after she prepared it. She was just about to go look for him to discuss the matter of Zong Hu.

Yet, standing outside her mother-in-law's door, she heard this:

Zong Yu frowned, "This is Grandma's only relic. It's outdated, and even if it's silver, it wouldn't be worth much."

"If Jinxiu knew about this, she wouldn't want it even if you offered it to her."

"My own wife, I will definitely protect her well and never let her suffer any grievance. Whoever dares to scold her, I'll beat him until he doesn't dare to speak."

Fang Jinshi shook her head with a smile outside, but her heart was warmed beyond measure.

Everyone is so foolish, no wonder they are always bullied by the older generation.

Zong Yu used to be afraid of using violence indiscriminately. The elderly would avoid him as much as possible whenever they saw him, and wouldn't dare to act so arrogantly as he does now.

And I think, with Jinxiu's personality, she shouldn't be so easily fooled by these old-fashioned people.

"What do you mean" Mu Shi asked.

"I always feel like she has something up her sleeve. Even though she hasn't been here long, when have you ever seen her lose out in front of Grandma and Uncle and Aunt"

Upon hearing her son's words, Mu shi nodded thoughtfully.

"I guess so."

Outside the door, Fang Jinshi's lips curved into a smile. Her man and she were quite in tune with each other, weren't they

We all know her personality so well.

She turned and walked out, seeing no need to disturb their mother-and-son conversation. She wouldn't want anything from her mother-in-law anyway.

In a short while, Zong Yu came out of the house and immediately started looking for Fang Jinshu's figure in the courtyard.

Hearing the chatter coming from the kitchen, I walked in.

"Haha, Auntie, are you serious"

"Pork wrapped in glutinous rice That sounds interesting. I've never heard of that before."

"Of course it's delicious, why would I fool you"

Take two or three clean reed leaves, fill them with white glutinous rice. If you like sweets, wrap pure glutinous rice filling.

“For those who like savory flavors, glutinous rice is filled with marinated pork belly and preserved duck yolk, then wrapped in reed leaves and tied tightly with string. This food is called zongzi.”

"Back in my hometown, there was a special day every May when we would make and eat zongzi."

"It's delicious."

Zongyu stood at the door, silently memorizing these words.

"Hey, big brother, your sister-in-law is still looking for you everywhere. Where did you go"ause of me and your father. Please don't shout so loud that the whole village finds out, okay""Otherwise, the villagers would think that Sister Jinxiu was bribing our family. Tonight's dinner is just...
