her right now.Thinking of this, Jinxiu's search for medicine became even more urgent. She called out Xiao Lu to help her look.Little Green saw that her owner was so distressed, not to mention how wor...Luckily, Fang Jinshiu had just been pulled into the house when Zong Yu returned to Li Shui Town's Fangjia Village. He was carrying two bulging oil paper packages in his hands.
"Mother, your brother-in-law is back!"
As soon as Zong Yu walked in, Fang Mingxia called out. Fang Jinshu quietly let out a breath and hurriedly retreated from the room.
She was truly afraid of being 'enthusiastically' pinned down on a stool by Wang Xiumei and the others and having those unidentified objects shoved into her.
Fang Jianren still looked as white and clean as ever, and even Fang Mingxia hadn't lost much weight. It seemed like the drought had barely affected their family at all.
The food piled on the table was hard for Fang Jinshu to ignore. It seemed almost intentional.
"Ah-Yu, you're back."
"Has Liu Qitou arrived home"
Zong Yu nodded, “We’re there,” he said. “He can get everything ready for the wedding in two days.”
Hearing the word "marriage", Fang Jianren's face changed.
For the first time, he didn't speak to Fang Jinshu in a condescending tone.
"Second sister, why do you have to help outsiders harm your own elder brother"
"We certainly are."
Fang Jinxiu glared at her neighbor, “I’m not family with you anymore. Don’t you Fang people understand what I’m saying”
Fang Jianren was about to lash out when Fang Mingxia stopped him.
"Second sister, my elder brother didn't mean it that way."
"Haven't we already settled the marriage arrangements Let's not bring that up again."
Her gaze shifted and landed on the oiled paper packet in Zong Yu's hand.
"Oh! Father, Mother, look what your brother-in-law brought us to eat!"
Fang Mingxia hadn't had anything oily for many days. Although her parents were wealthy and well-fed, they would always prioritize her older brother first.
If it weren't for her being so clever and always managing to stash some food away for herself, I wouldn't know what I'd do. I'd probably be starving.
Her eyes lit up at the sight of the food.
The oiled paper was still oily, it must be delicious greasy food!
As soon as she shouted, the attention of several members of the Fang family immediately shifted to Zong Yu.
Wang Xiumei has always been a person who couldn't bear to see good things out of her reach. Anything that entered their house had to be in her hands.
As soon as Fang Mingxia finished shouting, she habitually reached out to take the oiled paper package. The way she did it was as if the thing belonged to her.
Zong Yu reacted quickly, taking a step back as soon as Wang's hand reached out, dodging her grasp.
"Uncle, you and Jinxiu are dressed so well and eating so good, why do you have to quibble over these small things with us"
"In the end, we're also your in-laws."
Fang Jinshu gently tugged on Zongyu's sleeve, afraid that this filial and simple-minded fellow would actually give them the things because of Wang Shi's two sentences.
"A-Yu, I'm hungry, let's go into the house and eat."
Zong Yu had no intention of paying any attention to the Wang family. He respected his elders, but ever since he came to Fangjia Village and saw what kind of people his wife's family were, he withdrew the little bit of filial piety he had left.
When Jinxiu first came to their family, his mother-in-law told him that his wife had been brought over with her hands tied.
At that time, Zongyu already had a rather poor impression of the other party's parents. Now, knowing what kind of life his daughter-in-law had lived at home before, he was even less likely to treat these two people as in-laws.
"Come on, let's go inside." He didn't even glance at Wang Shi, directly escorting Fang Jinshu back to the room.
There is everything you need in space, food, drink and all sorts of things. But after all, this isn't her own home, and Fang Jinshu didn't want to take anything in front of these people.
Zongyu considered everything carefully and even brought back food from the town.
As Fang Jinshi turned around, she saw the unrelenting gazes of her family members following her. When she entered the house, she deliberately didn't have Zong Yu close the door, not only did she not close it, but she also opened the window, allowing those outside to clearly see what she was eating.
The oiled paper package was opened, and Zong Yu brought back a pretty substantial breakfast.
Eight thin-skinned, thick-filled pork buns and two vegetarian buns.
Another one is the oil cake.
Fang Mingxia's eyes widened when she saw the youtiao. This was her favorite treat from way back when. Youtiao is a specialty snack in Lishui Town.
Don't look at it as just a piece of flatbread, one piece is more expensive than a package of meat, costing five wen!
Fang Dazhu and Wang Xiumei are not generous people, so how could they give money to Fang Mingxia That's why she has to work very hard to save money every time she wants to eat.
Now, Fang Jinshu, this little sister who followed her around picking up trash since she was a child, can actually have five or six oil-fried flatbreads for breakfast!
Buns come in both meat and vegetarian varieties.
Not only Fang Mingxia, but even Fang Jianren, who hadn't had a good meal of meat for a long time, was drooling over the breakfast laid out on the table in front of the couple.
Upon comparing their breakfast table to the Fang family's, they suspected that the mystery from earlier that morning finally had a clue.
