u myself.Zong Kangping immediately changed his expression 180 degrees upon hearing that the old man wasn't against driving Fang Jinxiu away, but was even willing to take action himself."I'll be right...Mu and Zong Bai both felt that what they were offering wasn't valuable, and were embarrassed to shove it any further in her face. Fang Jinxiu, however, didn't think so.

"Mother, your embroidery stitches are so fine and the patterns are so lifelike, even I, a layman, find it beautiful and desirable."

"Definitely worth it."

"As for Zong Bai, I've taken his paintings and calligraphy. I didn't tell you about buying wasteland before because I wasn't sure if I could make it happen, so I kept quiet."

"Now Village Head Wang has persuaded everyone in the village, and as soon as the wasteland has a plan, I will let you know right away."

We'll be leaving for the county town tomorrow. First, I need to buy some uncultivated land at the county office. Second, we're still lacking many things. The town is deserted now, and the only place to purchase supplies is in the county town.

No matter what, I have to go.

Mu nodded. "Alright, go on then. Take care of yourselves out there, don't worry about home."

Yu Lian and Zong Bai were also sensible. After so long of chaos outside, rushing out with so many people would inevitably attract the attention of the bandits.

They'd better not hold back their elder brother and sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, I'll help take care of the herbs in your yard."

After finishing the conversation, Fang Jinshi went to the kitchen to prepare provisions for their journey tomorrow. Zong Yu liked rou jia mo (meat-stuffed flatbread), so she made extra and put them in her spatial storage.

This trip to the county town, I still don't know the situation. Whether the prices in the city have soared, just in case, Fang Jinshu did a lot of cooked food and dry food, and also prepared two large barrels of water in the space.

The Mu family patriarch pulled his eldest son aside and whispered, "Remember to protect Jinxiu well when you're out. Don't worry about home, your mother will take good care of everything here."

Zong Yu nodded, even if his mother-in-law didn't say anything he would protect his wife well. Fang Jinxiu just finished her work and walked out from the kitchen.

Seeing that Mother Mu was there, she had something she forgot to tell her, so she walked over. "Mother, Zuo and I will be away from home these few days. You and Yulian Zongbai should avoid going to the village."

"Except for Village Chief Wang, don't let anyone else come in."

Mu Shi was a little puzzled, "Why is that"

After the incident with the water channel, the villagers had become much more polite to their family. Mrs. Mu thought that no one would come to their house to cause trouble again.

Fang Jinshi saw her mother-in-law's thoughts and reminded her helplessly, "Mother, do you know where Hu Ailan went after she moved into the village"

Mu shook her head, she didn't know about that.

These days she really hasn't heard any news about Hu Ailan, and if Jinxiu didn't mention it, she would have forgotten that Hu Ailan had moved into the village.

"Jinshi, why did you suddenly bring up that girl"

Fang Jinshi sneered. When Tie Zhu told her that Hu Ailan had been taken home by Zong Laotou, she immediately guessed that something bad would happen when these two people got together.

But these days, she deliberately didn't bring it up. She also felt that, given Hu Ai-lan's cunning, going to the family clan might not be a bad thing.

She may appear meek and gentle on the surface, but in reality, she is deep-minded and very good at calculating for herself.

Zong Lao Tou thought that by controlling Hu Ai Lan, he could do something to their family. He probably won't succeed.

She reminded Mu Shi at this time, also to prevent Hu Ailan from hearing that they were not home and coming to look for Mu Shi.

Since the mother-in-law has softened her heart, if Hu Ai-lan wants to return, she must still start with the mother-in-law.

She moved into the old house. Her grandfather personally told Wang Shu that Hu Ailan was recognized as their granddaughter-in-law by their family, and he took her back, saying that he wanted to get justice for her.

Mu shi heard this and her face immediately fell. Fang Jinxiu was a little surprised, she hadn't expected her mother-in-law to react like this upon hearing the news.

"Mother What's wrong"

"What kind of recognized daughter-in-law from a prestigious family!" Mu said angrily.

"Our second house and the old house have long been separated!"

She clasped Fang Jinshu's hand tightly, "Jinshu, you don't have to worry. I will never admit to this. Our family has only you as our daughter-in-law, and I will never acknowledge any others!"

Fang Jinshi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

"Well, Mama is really good."

"Since we're not home these days, I'm afraid Hu Ai-lan might come looking for you. After all, she served you for several years. You have a kind heart, and as your daughter-in-law, I don't want to put you in an awkward position."

"By then, you just need to stay home and ignore everything. I'll handle the rest."st.The Long River turned to face Zong Bai, "Zong Bai ge, what should we do now""We can't let Brother Zongshen go up the mountain alone. Chang He, you should continue calling people and gather everyone...
