said seriously."When the drought is over, if you're still willing to live with me, I'll give you a grand wedding, make it a truly glorious affair."Rather than just, you know, throwing things togethe...It seems like something happened to the Zhao family last night, but Zhao Xingzhou being alive and in front of her means the situation is still within his control.

"Come in."

Fang Jinxiu didn't ask so many questions. If he couldn't even solve his own problems, there was no need to cooperate.

She didn't ask, and Zhao Xingzhou let out a breath of relief.

After dinner, Fang Jinshu took out the self-made wound medicine and gave it to Li Daniu, asking her to help treat Zhao Xingzhou's injury.

After Li's mother-in-law finished her work, she directly gave Zhao Xingzhou the box of ointment and took out several precious medicinal herbs that she had prepared long ago.

That included several rare medicinal herbs Su Yusheng had given her before, all of which were very valuable. Fang Jinshi was only willing to take out one kind.

Luo Shui City wasn't that big, so finding such medicinal herbs in the real world was already astonishing. At least Zhao Xingzhou's eyes widened when he saw this purple toadskin for the first time.

"You, you actually have the Purple Toad Robe!"

As its name suggests, chán yī is the skin shed by a golden toad. Usually, the golden toad eats its shed skin directly, so it's rare to see a complete piece of chán yī like this.

What's more, it is a very rare and precious purple golden toad among all golden toads!

This is a detoxification holy grail, many medicine dealers in their lifetime may not be able to see such a medicinal herb. Yet, Fang Jinxiu actually mixed this precious Zijin Chan Yi with other miscellaneous herbs and poured it directly onto the table.

"Be careful, this is a purple gold toad robe, extremely precious!" Zhao Xingzhou couldn't help but feel heartache.

Fan Jinshi smiled and pushed the pile of herbs on the table before him. "These, should be enough for you to establish yourself in the Zhao family, right"

He could easily rebuild the entire Zhao family.

Along with the Purple Gold Toad Skin was a pile of valuable medicinal herbs, though not as rare as the Purple Gold Toad Skin, they were all very precious.

Some medicinal herbs are even unavailable in Zhao family's pharmacy.

After the excitement and shock subsided, Zhao Xingzhou's mind was left with a flurry of questions.

"Why do you have so many rare and valuable medicinal herbs"

To think that someone who possesses so many good things would stoop to this, coming out here to barter medicinal herbs for money, he really can't seem to figure out what kind of person Fang Jinshu is anymore.

"Zhao Xiaojiu, cooperation is cooperation, but it doesn't mean you can ask me anything you want."

"Since I've already given you everything, I only give you one month. If you can't take down the Zhao family within a month, then I'll truly sign that deed of sale."

With a face like yours, you must be worth a pretty penny. If I sell you for a good price, I could recoup some of my losses.

Zhao Xingzhou pursed his lips and said earnestly, "I won't fail."

"Aren't you afraid I'll take your valuables and run away"

Upon hearing this, Fang Jinshu smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

I have more good things up my sleeve. You're a smart person, you know what to do.

"If I was truly wrong and you ran, I'd just throw out another herb similar to the purple toad skin. Do you think someone would chase you all over the world for it"

Although Fang Jinshi wore a smile when she spoke, Zhao Xingzhou could hear a bone-chilling coldness in her voice, and cold sweat beaded on his back.

The woman before him was someone he couldn't afford to offend, though he couldn't figure out her background. There was one thing Zhao Xingzhou could be certain of, however.

As long as he honestly collaborates with Fang Jinshu, his future achievements will be far more than just being the head of the Zhao family.

At this moment, his ambition swelled completely, fueled bit by bit by Fang Jinshi.

The next morning, they were finally ready to pack up and head home. The magistrate sent two yamen servants to accompany them back to the village to measure the area of the barren mountain.

Zhao Xiaojiu brought two carriages to the Li family's doorstep early in the morning.

When leaving, Fang Jinshi asked Li Muhai if he was willing to take on a big project and come to the mountains to help her build a mountain villa.

Li Muhai was stunned on the spot. This was a big deal.

"Building a house in the mountains would be quite difficult, you'd have to prepare a lot of things beforehand." He said, restraining his inner excitement.

Fan Jinshi smiled and understood his implication.

Preparing a lot of things all costs money, right

Li Daniu hurriedly pulled Li Muhua's sleeve, telling him to keep quiet.

"Madame Su, our family is skilled at building houses. Not only did you save my son's life, but you also helped us get back the silver. We will never forget your kindness."

"Leave the house-building to us!"split the family."Once we leave the family, from now on, I won't care whether these two old people, including your parents, live or die.Zong Hu also seemed to be deeply hurt, and upon hearing the word...
