Chapter 239: Staying Isn't Impossible

l they say about Jinxiu then""Needless to say, I know when the time comes, everyone in the village will think that Jinxiu is too domineering, forcing you, your own mother-in-law, into servitude. They'...When all the men in the courtyard had left, Fang Jinshu led the four girls into the courtyard. There were only two men in the house, Zong Yu and Zong Bai, and the rest were women. The girls were finally not so afraid.

They timidly glanced at the several wooden houses before them. They were not very large, even rather simple in appearance. Their faces did not show much joy, but instead revealed a hint of worry.

Would such people really take them in

As soon as Fang Jinshu returned, Mu Shi and Zong Yu Lian immediately surrounded him on either side.

"Come here, let Mama have a look. Did you get hurt going out"

"Sister-in-law, if you don't come back soon, my mother and I will be so worried we'll have to go out looking for you."

Fang Jinshi smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mother, I worried you."

Let me introduce myself.

"Dean Qin, you should have met my daughter. These girls around me were all rescued from bandits. Their families are missing."

Fang Jinshu was about to say her name when she suddenly realized she hadn't actually asked these girls their names.

She turned around, "By the way, what are your names"

Four girls answered one by one.

"My name is Qiujing."

"Spring Orchid."

"My name is Xiaoyue."

"I, I am Jin Yu."

Spring orchids, autumn chrysanthemums, little moon gold and jade

All the names sound pretty good.

Fang Jinshi turned her head and pointed at Mu Shi, "This is my mother-in-law, and the one next to her is my younger sister-in-law Yulian."

"There are only a few of us in my family, and you've all met."

The eldest Chunlan nervously opened her mouth and asked, "Girl Jinshi, what are you going to do with us"

She thought the house Fang Jinxiu lived in didn't look like it could hold that many people.

Seeing the worried expressions on the four faces, Fang Jinshu immediately understood their concerns.

"Don't worry about accommodation, our village has a small population. I can find some houses with empty rooms for you to stay in."

Now every household in the village depends on her family’s Zongyu to dig canals. She gives some food and should be able to exchange it for several rooms for four people to live in.

These are all solvable problems.

When the four young ladies heard that Fang Jinshu wanted to arrange them to live elsewhere, they immediately became anxious.

"Embroidered Girl, you, you don't want to let us live with you"

"We, we won't bother you."

The youngest, Jinyu, was also the most dependent on Fang Jinxiu. She directly hugged Fang Jinxiu's arm, her eyes filled with tears.

"Sister Jinxiu, I don't want to move somewhere else. I... I can sleep on the floor, I eat little, and I can help with all the chores at home."

"Don't drive me away."

Others seeing this immediately crowded around her, each saying they didn't want to move elsewhere either.

"If Gold can do it, we can too."

“Miss Jinxiu, please spare us. Don't drive us away.”

They are now like water hyacinths, unable to live without Fang Jinshu's support.

"Miss Jinxiu, as long as you let us stay, even if we have to be your slaves, we are willing." Chunlan seeing that she remained silent, directly knelt before Fang Jinxiu.

The other three followed suit.

Fang Jinshi remained silent, and they were filled with fear and uncertainty.

Mu and Yulian looked at each other, "This, how can our family afford to raise so many people"

The sister-in-law's space hasn't started to stockpile much yet, and the vegetables in the field haven't started to yield a bumper harvest.

A Qin father and daughter arrived, even that's fine since the brother was once their teacher. They could at least scrape together a little food from between their teeth to support Director Qin.

Now there are four more strange women, even if the food is scarce, they can't hold back when four come at once.

Mrs. Mu looked at her daughter-in-law, "Jinxiu, what are you going to do about this"

Fāng Jǐnxiù crouched down and hurriedly helped the four people up. "I don't like people kneeling before me."

She originally planned to bring the four people back to settle in the village. Village Chief Wang would definitely not object, and she could help take care of them a bit more.

After the canal water arrives, as long as they are diligent with their hands and feet, they should have no problem settling down and surviving in the village.

Now all four of them were clinging to each other, unwilling to leave. That was something she hadn't expected.

Fang Jinxiu pondered for a moment, "Staying isn't out of the question, but I should make something clear upfront."em."After finishing his words, Zongyu got up and left.Fang Jinshi had been observing from the shadows. If any of these people were indeed relaying messages to Li Gou, he would definitely pay close att...
