brows furrowed tightly."What Thank that dead girl"Village Chief Zhao glared at her disapprovingly, and she immediately shut her mouth with a smirk."You all know how rare the herbs are these days. The...When Fang Jinshiu was leaving, the villagers directly made way for her. Seeing that she was unharmed, some people were even disappointed and missed the opportunity to fawn over her.
After the matter was settled, she walked home with Chang He and Tie Zhu.
These two just had to go see for themselves how Zongyu was doing, to make sure he was really okay. Chang He went along to pick up some medicine, while Tiezhu simply didn't feel like going home temporarily.
And as for Zong Yu, he slept through until midday. After waking up, he walked around the house but didn't see Fang Jinshu.
Just then, Mu came out of the house and hurried forward, “Mother, where is Jinxiu”
Mu couldn't help but tease him, "You wake up and ask about Jinxiu all the time. Before, you wouldn't agree to marry Jinxiu."
"Now, do you know how your wife is Look at you, so clingy. Aren't you afraid Jinxiu will make fun of you"
Zong Yu frowned, "Mother, didn't you forget that Jinxiu said she was going to the old house this noon to deliver silver"
"Did she go to the old house"
After he finished speaking, he looked around the yard. Seeing that his younger brother and sister were not there, he thought to himself, "It's good that these two finally know right from wrong and are following Jinxiu."
Just as he let out a slight sigh of relief, he saw Zong Bai come down from the mountain behind the house, covered in dust and dirt, holding two bamboo shoots in his hands. He was chatting and laughing with Yu Lian.
< Zong Yu's face paled. "You two went up the mountain" >
When Zong Bai saw his elder brother's serious expression, he was a little frightened and instantly stopped smiling.
But he wasn't sure what had happened, so he just nodded dumbly, "Ah, yes, what happened, big brother You, you don't stare at me like that."
The younger brother was afraid.
Zong Yu's face turned cold.
"Don't you know today is the day your sister-in-law went to the old house to deliver money"
Why not go with her
They actually let Jinshu go to the old house alone
Zong Yu's heart grew heavier with worry. He disregarded admonishing his younger siblings and turned to run downhill, moving at lightning speed. In a blink of an eye, he vanished from sight.
Zong Bai only reacted at this moment, shouting out in alarm, "Bad!"
I quickly shoved the bamboo shoots into Jade Lotus's hand and said hurriedly, "We were really careless. Sister-in-law said this morning that she was going to deliver meat to Tiezhu and Changhe's families, but I didn't remember."
"It's past noon and Sister-in-law hasn't returned yet, she must be having trouble with the people at the old house!"
After finishing his words, he took off running to catch up with his older brother, also running very fast.
When Mu heard her two sons' words, she was also startled and held her daughter tightly.
"What are we going to do, Jinxiu is confused! How can she go to the old house alone."
"Yesterday she even splashed your grandmother and aunt with feces. When they saw only Jinxiu going there, they were about to eat her alive!"
"Poor your sister-in-law, so frail. She's no match for your grandmother and aunt."
"No, Yulian, we're going too, hurry up, we're going too!"
"Go save your sister-in-law." Mrs. Mu panicked, dropping the bandage in her hand and acting as if she was going to run down the mountain.
Although Yulian was also anxious, she always felt that her elder and second brothers were overthinking things. After these days of getting to know each other, she didn't think Jinxiu's sister-in-law was the kind of person who would take advantage of her.
The person who is most confident about winning this family competition is surprisingly Jade Lotus.
She quickly put the basket and bamboo shoots aside and rushed to help Mrs. Mu.
"Mother, don't worry. Sister-in-law is so clever, she probably won't be in any trouble."
"As for you, sister-in-law said that you can't get too excited, or you'll have trouble breathing."
Zong Yulian, protecting Mu Shi while walking downhill, didn't even have time to lock the door.
Everyone was frantic with worry, their minds filled with the image of Fang Jinshi, helpless and pitiful, shrinking in a corner of the old house, being tormented mercilessly by the four demons and ghosts that resided there.
As soon as they thought of this, their hearts ached with pain, it was unbearable.
Zhong Pingkang dashed out the door and ran up the mountain. As Fang Jinshi was only halfway home, he was stopped by a shout from behind.
"Fang Jinshi, you stop for me!"n. Now, the fruits and vegetables from Jinxiu Vegetable Garden are all the rage in the capital city, and she saw the label on the basket right away."Goodness, this girl Far'er brought back actually kn...
