Chapter 289: Take More Care
a small wooden table on the bed and pushed the bowls in front of her, lifting the covers to reveal their contents.Fang Jinshi had smelled the aroma of meat for a long time, and saliva had already secr...The village head, Wang, hurriedly turned back and told Zhao to keep quiet.
"Keep talking nonsense, and you're going home. No more food for you."
If I had known his wife would cause trouble, I wouldn't have brought her.
As for Village Chief Wang, Fang Jinshu naturally held him in respect, but not everyone could receive the same treatment here.
She put the three words "displeased" on her face and said with a sullen expression.
"If Zhao's wife doesn't like the food at our house, she can just go back first. She can choose not to eat if she doesn't want to."
Zhao Rufang thought that Fang Jinshu was a person who cared about her reputation. In front of her husband, who happened to be the village head, she wouldn't dare to be too disrespectful to her.
I didn't expect you to be so direct right off the bat.
"What are you saying You invited us to dinner, is this how you treat guests!"
Fāng Jǐnxù let out a cold snort. "Respect is mutual, and I've never seen a guest who visits someone's home as proactively nitpicky as Zhào Shūzi."
"If you don't like it, just say so. I'm treating you, not doing business with you, so you don't have to criticize my cooking."
"There's a saying: 'Guests follow their host's convenience.' Didn't Zhao's aunt ever hear of it"
As the atmosphere suddenly became tense, Village Head Wang and Tiezhu didn't want to anger Fang Jinshu. They hurriedly stood up and said.
"Forget it, forget it. How about we don't eat this meal today"
"Let's eat another time, Jinxiu. I'm really sorry. Don't be mad. I promise I'll help you with buying the deserted mountain. Even if we don't eat, your uncle will always keep your matter in mind."
Village Chief Wang was older than her, even Zong Yu addressed him as uncle. Fang Jinxiu really didn't want to make things too awkward, making the Village Chief uncomfortable in the middle.
Tiezhu had already forcefully pulled Zhao shi out.
Zhao was still shouting angrily, "Wang Tiezhu, what kind of drug have you taken I'm your mother, why are you pulling me"
Tie Zhu was completely embarrassed.
"Mother, can you please speak nicely Didn't we agree to eat dinner without causing a scene"
"What are you doing Did you get into a fight with Jinxiu"
Zhao had been so annoyed by Chun Lan's constant bothering her, coming to her house every day demanding food and drinks. She really wanted to find Fang Jinxiu and settle the score with her, but this wasn't even the worst of it.
I just want to ask that girl, what does it mean to throw those two little vixens into our house
"You're always at my doorstep wanting to eat and drink, especially that Chunlan girl. Don't think I haven't noticed, she's snuck away from me several times to ask you for things, isn't she"
"Everything in our house, even a single needle, I know exactly where it is. You think you can take things from home and I wouldn't know"
"Well, it's true that Chulan and Qiujing are in a pitiful state. Even without Sister Jinxiu's orders, I wouldn't mind helping them out."
"Why are you causing trouble for Jinxiu's sister-in-law It was my own will to give them things."
Zhao let out a snort and pointed at Tie Zhu's forehead, scolding him loudly.
"If Fang Jinshu hadn't instructed you, would you have been so obedient to help the two young ladies"
"I told you before, asking you to meet a girl was like asking for your life! When you see an unmarried girl in the village, you'd rather walk ten miles out of your way."
"You are my son, and I didn't know it."
Zhao's voice was especially loud, deliberately for Fang Jinshi and her family to hear.
Today, she came here just to pick a fight.
She wanted to come and ask them for clarification in her free time, but she was either stopped by her own father or her son.
Since I finally got to see her, shouldn't I ask her what's going on
Even if there was water in the village, their family's grain wouldn't last long enough to support two people who didn't work.
It's unbearable to constantly be loitering around their doorstep and blowing hot air every few days.
Village Head Wang looked apologetic and tried to get up to pull his wife back, but Fang Jinshi was a little confused and hurriedly stopped Village Head Wang.
"Uncle Wang, wait a moment."
"Zhao's wife just said, I told you all to help Chunlan and Qiujing more"
"When did I ever say something like that to you"
Village Head Wang stopped in his tracks. Something was off about this. Looking at Jinxiu's expression, she seemed unaware of the situation at all.
"It was Chunlan who said it, she said the night she came down from your place, that you had asked them to stay in the village and asked us to look after them."
Fang Jinshu frowned, "Uncle Wang, you were deceived by them. The two of them wanted to go to the village themselves. I never said for you to take extra care of them like that."n from her.Her only means of survival in this world was the void space, and she couldn't even explain why it had appeared.How can you expect people to believeFinally, she pushed down the turmoil in he...
