mouth would open so easily for her, spilling all of her secrets.This contest was already decided from the start, it wasn't worth her wasting time on irrelevant people. She should spend more time thin...Fang Jinshi nodded, and that evening after dinner, she told her whole family about going to the county town.

Zong Yu immediately said he wanted to go with her, because he didn't trust Fang Jinxiu to go out alone. Fang Jinxiu was thinking the same thing; now that she thought about it, she really didn't dare to go out without Zong Yu.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely take you with me."

This rare opportunity to go out, both Zongbo and Yulian were eager to try. Although they didn't say it out loud, their eyes betrayed their desire to go.

Fang Jinshi saw the situation and said, “This time I only plan to go with Zong Yu. We don't know what's going on outside yet, and it's a long way to the county town.”

"It's really not suitable to go with too many people."

As soon as Fang Jinshu's words fell, Mu shi immediately asked, "What are you going to the county town for Why do you need to go for so many days all of a sudden"

Before the incident on the barren mountain, Fang Jinshu had never told the Mu family about it because she hadn't made any progress with her plan. Only Zongyu knew about her intentions.

"Mother, I'm planning to buy this mountain in our village. The reason I went to the county town is to handle this matter at the county government."

The three Mu matriarchs were all taken aback by the news, it took them a good while to recover.

"What, what Are you buying the mountaintop" Mrs. Mu was utterly shocked.

She knew her daughter-in-law was capable, more daring and resourceful than ordinary people, but she didn't expect her to be so ambitious, even thinking about buying land.

"No, this is a big deal, why didn't you tell me about it before"

"Where did we get so much silver from"

Mu was a little uncomfortable. Her children had made such a big decision without even discussing it with her. She didn't know exactly how much the piece of land cost, but it certainly wasn't a small sum.

How did the children get so much money Even if they got it, it must have been very hard work, and she just eats, drinks, and gets waited on at home every day, knowing nothing about it.

I couldn't help at all.

Mu was at a loss for words, anxious and uncertain what to say.

Just like Mu Shi, Zong Baiyulian was first surprised and then very excited after she reacted. Both of them particularly believed in Fang Jinshi's abilities.

Buying a mountain would be a big deal, Sister-in-law! If she really bought their village's mountain and made it her own, wouldn't that mean her family would have property too!

But then when she heard Mu's words, her smile froze instantly on her face. Right, where would their family have so much silver come from

Buying a mountain isn't something that can be done with just a little money.

Zong Bai didn't even think, he immediately ran back to his room and brought out all the literary works he had accumulated over this period.

"These paintings are all things I've done in my spare time. I know they probably won't fetch a high price, but they should at least bring in some silver."

As he spoke, Zong Bai's voice grew softer and softer. He was just a boy from a poor mountain village, with no fame or status. No matter how good his paintings and calligraphy were, who would buy them

It's not just that he couldn't sell for much, but also that he made his brother and sister-in-law run around to sell his calligraphy and paintings. After talking about it, he immediately took the things back.

I think this idea of mine is really stupid.

Jadelian and Mu also took out the embroidered goods they had saved up over this period. "Jinshi, these embroidery pieces should be worth some money, take them all with you."

Mu received encouragement from Zong Bai and tried every way to find more valuable things in the house to take with the two of them.

Fang Jinshi saw this and quickly stopped her mother-in-law.

"Mother, Zongbei, you two don't need to worry yourselves. I have everything under control when it comes to the silver. If I couldn't come up with the money, I wouldn't have decided to go to the county town."

The three Mus family members were all worried and confused, almost forgetting that Fang Jinshu's personality wouldn't allow her to do something she wasn't sure about.

"That's right, we're getting all worked up here. If sister-in-law hadn't figured out a way to make money, how could she say she wanted to buy mountains."

Yulian immediately nodded and looked at Fang Jinshu with admiration.

"Sister-in-law, what are your true intentions You're claiming to have this much silver, are you really able to produce it"

Fang Jinshi pointed at the calligraphy and embroidery in their hands.

"Since you guys haven't been idle at home, I haven't been either."

"I'll be bringing along both the paintings and embroidery. Buying a piece of wasteland is a big family affair, so everyone has a part to play."Fu Ming chattered incessantly, but Zong Yu pretended not to hear him.The eunuch led the person to the courtyard where Fang Jinshi was staying, and happened to run into the portly old man who hadn't le...
