Chapter 145: Be Sure to Protect Your Sister-in-Law Well

ight now, and her tone was much more relaxed."It's estimated that your sister-in-law quietly went back to the old house alone to repay the debt."And I almost got hurt.Your elder brother is angry with...Village Chief Wang called and called, but in the end, only Tiezhu, Zong Hu, and Chang He were willing to accompany Mrs. Mu and her party into the mountains to search for people.

Zong Bai disagreed with letting his mother go on an adventure, so he had Yu Lian stay home with her and wait for news.

He didn't initially agree with his sister-in-law going along as well, but Fang Jinshu was determined to go. Zong Bo couldn't stop her, so he could only silently vow in his heart to protect his sister-in-law well.

It wouldn't take Fang Jinshi much effort to prepare the powder for pest control. Her worry about Zong Yu's well-being fueled her actions, making her move faster.

In less than half an hour, the four packs of medicinal powder were ready.

She makes everyone hang on her, best if they just sprinkle some on their clothes now.

Zong Bai said, "After entering the mountains, you must follow me and not wander off."

"Actually, there aren't beasts in every part of the mountains. Let's look along the path we used to enter and exit."

Everyone nodded and set off with Zong Bai.

Before he left, he turned back and looked at Mu Shi, “Mother, please rest assured, we will definitely bring Big Brother back.”

Mu nodded, she also wanted to go with the others to find her eldest son. But she knew that her current condition would be a burden to them.

It's better to just let them stay home and feel safe.

Zong Yulian waved her hand, "Second brother, you must be careful, and remember to protect your sister-in-law well."

Zong Bai nodded and turned away.

An hour later, Fang Jinshu watched the forest around her grow increasingly quiet, a sense of unease rising in her heart.

She hurriedly grabbed Zong Bo's arm, "Don't leave just yet, Zong Bo. Haven't you noticed something's off about our surroundings"

Zong Bai looked around, "Nothing seems out of place, does it"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, this road should be safe. Last time my brother and I killed over ten wolves here, there isn't any living creature that dares to come near here."

He saw Fang Jinxiu's brow furrow tightly, and his eyes turned sharp.

This just dawned on me that I've let something slip.

Big brother had specifically warned him not to tell his sister-in-law about the wolf pack attack, but he blurted it out as soon as he wasn't paying attention.

Have you ever encountered a pack of wolves here

Fang Jinshu was so clever, she recalled everything that had happened over the past few days and immediately deduced when they had encountered the wolf pack.

No wonder the two brothers went out to look for Yulian that night and Zongyu had such serious scratches on him when they came back.

At the time, she really thought she had been scratched by some sharp tree branches or stones in the mountains. Zong Yu also refused to take a closer look at her wound, hastily applied medicine and left.

"Zongbai, if something like this happens again, you must tell me."

"Nothing is more important than your older brother's health. I'm a doctor, so you need to tell me if you get hurt right away so you can heal quickly."

"Don't try to force it yourself!"

This was the first time Zong Bai had seen his sister-in-law with such a serious expression, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Got it, sister-in-law. Actually, my brother didn't tell you because he was afraid you'd worry."

"For so many years, my elder brother has been hunting in the mountains. Getting injured is just commonplace for him, and he often keeps it from us."

Fan Jinshi didn't care about anything before or after.

"Mother said that from now on, I'll be in charge."

"Zong Bai, are you going to listen to your older brother or me"

Zong Bai weighed it over and decided to listen to his sister-in-law.

"Of course, I'll listen to my sister-in-law."

Fang Jinshui's face finally eased, "Alright, since you listen to me, in the future if your brother gets hurt again, you know you must tell me immediately."

She thought for a moment, and added, "It's not just about being hurt. No matter what happens to your older brother, if there's anything you have to hide from me, you have to tell me!"

Zong Bai smiled and nodded.

Thinking back to what my older brother said the other day, I feel like he's overthinking things. Judging from my sister-in-law's attitude, she clearly cares about him a lot.

She will eventually leave this mountain.

He didn't think his sister-in-law would leave.and immediately frowned, looking impatient as he spoke.“How is it you again!”"Everyone said that the magistrate wouldn't see you lot, and you don't look like the type who could afford a mountaintop. D...
