Chapter 37 How is my sister-in-law doing?

ighed while sipping the fish soup, "It's such a waste to eat such an expensive fish."She thought her daughter, Yulian, was right. It would be so much better if they had exchanged it for silver.Fang Ji...When the sun began to set in the west, Fang Jinxiu had already filled Zong Yu's basket behind him with her harvest. In her two hands, she still carried over a hundred pounds of rice, oil and grain.

Fang Jinxiu said she wanted to help him get some, Zong Yu immediately dodged and said he didn't need it.

"Keep your strength for the mountain path."

He didn't bring it up, and Fang Jinshu almost forgot that their family lived in the mountains, and there was such a far mountain to cross. This wasn't a problem for Zong Yu; she really wasn't physically capable.

Without further ado, he readily offered to help carry the things. They walked all the way to the town gate and spent five copper coins to hire a bullock cart to take them home.

After Zongping Kang ran away, he didn't leave immediately. He wasn't willing to give up the money without a fight.

So she quietly followed Zong Yu and Fang Jinxiu, watching them buy so many things with such extravagance. Her eyes were red with envy.

He dared not go up and ask again, nor could he snatch it. Who could possibly take something from Zongyu's hands

Don't let him get killed by a single punch.

Once the two of them were on the oxcart, he started to get anxious.

With his two legs, there was no way he could catch up to the oxcart with its four wheels. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the two of them disappeared down the road, loaded with their belongings.

And he could only slowly hobble back on his legs.

This time Fang Jinxiu gritted her teeth and didn't let Zong Yu carry her up the mountain again. When he came out, he was carrying a wild boar on his back. When he came back, his body was full of things, and the weight was not lighter than the wild boar at all.

Zong Yu had always been walking behind, watching his wife's pale face with concern as she was exhausted from her work.

He could tell Fang Jinshu was actually a bit delicate. He had been waiting for her to ask him for help.

She walked all the way home without saying a word.

Zong Bai had been standing at the front door waiting for his brother and sister-in-law to return. As dusk approached, he was about to go look for them along the way.

Fortunately, Big Brother and Sister-in-law are back.

He hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, "Brother, sister-in-law, you're finally back."

"If you don't come back soon, I'm going to go look for you."

Zong Yu's mind was constantly on the exhausted Fang Jinxiu. He couldn't be bothered to talk to his younger brother, so he just threw what he had in his hand to him.

Picked up Fang Jinshi, who couldn't stand for a long time.

And Fang Jinshu was already exhausted, she didn't even have the strength to speak, she let Zong Yu hold her, leaning her head against his chest. She really wanted a drink of water.

Zong Bai only then realized something was amiss, "Brother, what's wrong with sister-in-law"

She was tired, so I carried her back to rest. You bring the things in.

Zong Bai quickly nodded. Don't look at his young age, he is quite strong.

A basketful of things and over a hundred kilograms of grain, oil, rice and noodles. He carried them in both hands and walked home.

Zong Yulian, seeing her second brother bring back so many things, was overjoyed and rushed over to take a look.

"Wow, big brother bought so many things back this time."

"There's still oil and grain, and white flour!"

"Great, we don't have to eat wild plants anymore!"

Zong Bai was a bit worried about his sister-in-law's condition. He moved the grain, oil, rice, and noodles to the kitchen and gave the basket to his younger sister.

"Yu Lian, please move the frame to the inner room and tidy it up. Tell Mother that Big Brother and Sister-in-law have returned safely and she shouldn't worry."

"I'm going to check on my sister-in-law."

Zong Yulian let out an "Oh" and grumbled, dissatisfied, "Having to be carried back down the mountain path by my older brother, wasn't it a little pointless"

Zong Bai heard her turning around and reprimanded, "Yulian, you should be more respectful to your sister-in-law."

"You're huffing and puffing just climbing a small hill, aren't you"

Zong Yulian said unconvinced, “Then I’m much stronger than her. I wouldn’t even be unable to stand and need someone to carry me home.”

Zong Bai shook his head helplessly, "Don't blame me for not warning you. Big brother may seem quiet on the surface, but he's very satisfied with his wife."

"You disrespect your sister-in-law, be careful if your brother finds out he'll deal with you."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Zong Bai could see that his sister-in-law hadn't had an easy time at home before. In rural areas, people generally favor sons over daughters, and it's normal for someone like his sister-in-law, who was so thin, to be unable to climb mountains.

Just raise it.

He came to the door of the double room and knocked.

"Big brother, is your sister-in-law doing well"ble to live as they did now, with work and foodThe villagers weren't stupid either. Although the mountain spring was discovered by the village chief's son, without Fang Jinshu, who could have persuade...
