nxiù raised an eyebrow, of course she wasn't prepared.Su Yusheng's caravan arrived several days later than expected, but Fang Jinshu didn't put all her hopes on the caravan bringing silver.She had qui...After Fang Jinshu returned to her room, she went into the space. She used spiritual spring water to clean the wound before applying medicine and rebandaging it.

She sat listlessly on the patch of grass, feeling a little down.

Zongyu just ignored her.

At night, she returned to her bed. When she fell asleep, the corner of her eye was still moist.

A tall figure pushed open the door and quietly came to her bedside. After hesitating for a moment, he still raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Zong Yu sighed, a sound barely audible. His rough palm feared hurting Fang Jinxiu's delicate skin, so he only dared to run it back and forth through her hair.

The next morning, Fang Jinshu woke up and only saw Mu Shi in the courtyard.

Jinxiu woke up, go wipe your face and eat breakfast, it's all in the pot, still hot.

Fang Jinshu was taken aback, "Mother, where's Zongyu"

She only then realized how unusually quiet the house was.

Zong Yulian heard her mother and sister-in-law's conversation and hurriedly poked her head out from the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, you're awake."

"Big brother and second brother went out early this morning. They left before dawn."

Fāng Jǐnxiù's eyes flashed a trace of melancholy, "Well, I'll go wash my face."

All day long, she did many things. She weeded the vegetable patch, and took Zong Yulian to the back of the house to dig out some bamboo shoots. She taught her how to make pickled bamboo shoots.

During that time, Wang Yan'er came with her child and received six pairs of insoles, including those for Zongyu's size and hers.

Fang Jinshi seemed to be communicating normally with them, but in reality, only she knew that her state was very off.

There's a heavy stone in my heart, making it hard to breathe.

Her listless appearance caught Mu Shi's eye. Zong Yulian had gone out to dig wild vegetables, while Fang Jinshi was busy tending the drying herbs.

"Jinxiu, there are a few things I want to tell you."

She called the person into the room.

"Mother, what's the matter"

Mu grabbed her hand and asked, "Did you have an argument with Zongyu"

Fang Jinshi subconsciously shook her head, "No."

It wasn't really an argument, either.

He just ignored her one-sidedly.

"If my silly son has done anything wrong, please tell his mother. If he ever dares to mistreat you, I will definitely stand on your side and make things right."

"If you're ever wronged, don't keep it to yourself, tell your mother."

Fang Jinshu saw that her mother-in-law was so anxious and concerned about her, and she felt much better in her heart. There was also a hint of a smile on her face.

“He didn’t bully me.”

"Don't worry, I'm just a little tired today."

Mu hurriedly said, "You're tired, go back to the room and lie down. I told you your arm is still injured, don't rush to do these rough tasks."

"The weeds in the fields and vegetable patches, just wait until Zongyu comes back at night to deal with them."

Fang Jinxiu smiled, she knew her mother-in-law meant well and wanted to see her happy.

"Okay, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."

Mu looked at her daughter-in-law's departing figure and let out a silent sigh once again. It seemed that the one who tied the bell had to untie it.

In the evening, those who had dug the irrigation canal in the village gradually went down the mountain and returned home. Zong Yulian guarded the gate of the courtyard and watched for a long time, but only saw Zong Bai come back alone.

She looked back at him in astonishment.

"Second brother, how come you're the only one back Where's big brother"

Zong Bai leaned the farming tools in his hand against the wall and wiped the sweat from his face with the cloth his sister had prepared for him.

"My big brother said he had something to do, so he left this morning and went his separate way."

Has he come back yet

Fang Jinshi walked out of the room with a grave expression.

"Are you saying that your older brother didn't go with you to dig the canal today"

"What did he say he had to do"

Zong Bai saw his sister-in-law so anxious, feeling a little embarrassed, "This, I, I didn't ask."

"Big brother always does things more cautiously than us. Don't worry, sister-in-law, big brother will definitely be back soon."

They also didn't have the habit of asking their elder brother about anything, they would just let him say what he wanted and follow his instructions. now upset."How could Master Zhao allow his own sister to marry into such a family"Fang Jinshi, the head of the household this morning, waved his hand. "Since Zhao Xingzhou has been bought by me, then...
