Chapter 227: It's Done

nyu into his arms, letting her lean against him. His large palm stroked her back lightly."You can't be hurt."In his entire life, besides his family, the only person he wanted to stay by his side and c..."What do you mean What happened to Dean Qin" Zong Bo heard this and was even more anxious than the boy inside, wishing he could barge in and drag the person out to ask what was going on.

The young man's parents hurriedly came out of the house and pulled him back.

"Who let you talk to strangers"

"This one absolutely can't be opened, who knows if it might be bandits disguised!"

Fang Jinxiu and the two others saw that there was suddenly no sound from behind the door. Especially Zong Bai, who scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.

"What should we do, sister-in-law Should I climb the wall and go in to ask them myself"

Fang Jinxiu quickly stopped him.

"You absolutely shouldn't do that These houses all have their doors closed, there must be a reason for it."

She pondered for a moment, “I have a way to get them to open the door.”

Then she took out yesterday's leftover pancakes from the space. She had made them with eggs and chopped green onions, and they smelled so good.

"The townspeople are probably short on food and water right now, this is better than knocking on a hundred doors."

The two brothers nodded in agreement.

Zong Bai felt a little uncomfortable, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law. The food at home is already precious. I will definitely help the family grow more vegetables in the future!"

Fang Jinshu said helplessly, "We're all family, why do we always say this"

"Dr. Qin is your benefactor, and therefore our benefactor. Don't even mention just a few cakes; even if my sister-in-law had to pay with silver directly, I would give all of my fortune without hesitation to save him."

Only someone incapable would cling to what little they have.

If she were someone from a wealthy family, she wouldn't spend a penny on them even if they were killed.

President Qin, being a learned man devoted to education and benefiting people, was also Master Zhong's benefactor. He spared no expense in saving him and would gladly give anything for his success.

"Sister-in-law," Zong Bai sighed again, feeling that his own mind was truly inferior to his sister-in-law's.

From then on, he would never again utter such foolish words to question his sister-in-law.

"Alright, alright, let's not waste time. We'll discuss everything once we find Dean Qin."

The two brothers nodded. Fang Jinshi gave the cake to Zong Yu. Zong Yu was tall, so he used a stick to thread the cake and reach it over the wall into the family's yard.

Fang Jinxiu shouted outside, "Elder brother and sister-in-law inside, my younger brother is a student of Dean Qin. We came to knock on the door just to inquire about Dean Qin's news."

"If you know anything, please let us know, okay Even if you don't open the door, this batch of cookies will be my payment for information."

The couple in the house had truly been starving for days, and they had nowhere else to go. Their only inheritance was the very house they were living in now.

The whole family had long made up their minds to die defending their ancestral home.

Everyone around fled, only their family was determined not to leave.

Their son had also been a student at院長 Qin's academy before, and hearing that people outside were inquiring about 院長 Qin, he felt a tremor of unease.

"Father, Mother, let's tell them about what happened to the Qin院長 family."

Maybe they can save Dr. Qin and his family.

The boy pleaded with his parents.

The mother's face was etched with sadness. "Silly child, those people are beasts. The Qin Institute director and his family were probably already murdered."

The man was more cautious, swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva in front of the cake.

These cookies should be eaten sparingly, enough to keep his wife and children alive for half a month. He carefully took down the cookies.

He tore off a tiny piece and dropped it to the ants on the ground. Seeing that the ants ate it without any reaction, he put the rest of the pastry into his wife's arms.

"Eat quickly, the bread is not poisoned."

The zongbai tree outside the door had been lying on the door all along, listening to the sounds inside.

"They wouldn't fall silent just after taking the cookies, would they"

"Sister-in-law, weren't we deceived"

Fang Jinshi shook her head. She didn't know either. If she was really deceived, there was nothing she could do about it. A few buns were considered a good deed.d no choice but to silently return to his seat and stop talking. The friend who had just tried to smooth things over for him also sat down next to him."Lin, let it go."These people say they don't care...
