Chapter 443 One After Another

thing. He must have listened to what that dead girl said to Zongyu."Mother, Zongyu that boy has brought a wife back home.""Today is the day she stopped Zongyu from giving meat."Mrs. Wu, hearing this,...The biggest gain this time was that pair of weapons. Though she didn't know where a band of bandits got them from, it wasn't really her concern.

Now is not something she can consider.

After the lodge was built, the guards could have a weapon in hand, and their defensive capabilities were greatly enhanced. It really saved her a lot of trouble and a large sum of money.

As for those materials, they became secondary.

As for the money and valuables inside the bandit's den, Fang Jinshu thought about it but ultimately decided not to take them.

First of all, even if we consider the magistrate's difficulty in maintaining the livelihood of the people in Luoshui City, secondly, wouldn't the magistrate still punish her if she took this money

Don't even think about pocketing the loot from the bandit hideout. If you do, none of them will escape the encirclement of those soldiers today.

This money Fang Jinshu wasn't unable to take secretly, nor was it purely out of fear of the county magistrate.

My wings aren't fully grown yet, and I don't want to get myself into a lot of trouble.

The dungeon in the bandits' lair was filthy, that much was certain. It wasn't done out of malice; it was just a rudimentary attempt at sanitation and disease control to prevent any harmful epidemics from spreading.

"The people in our place are already suffering enough. If any new disease were to emerge, even the villagers in Ye Village hiding in the mountains wouldn't be safe."

She's still going to build a mansion. What if everyone else gets sick Who will provide the manpower and resources for her to build it then

In the clinic, Tie Zhu and Li Muhai's wounds were treated well. Although Tie Zhu's injuries were severe, they were mostly external injuries with a minor internal injury. He was young and healthy, so he recovered quickly with a few days of rest.

Li Muhai, upon learning that he had cheated death and lived to see another day, was immediately met with Jinxiu and others kneeling and weeping with gratitude.

Fang Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Uncle Li, I'll keep your thanks for later. My manor must be finished before the snow falls this winter. Even if it can't be fully completed, at least most of the main housing structures need to be up."

"Time is running out, with your current health condition, will you even be able to take on this job"

Li Muhai nodded hurriedly, "Of course I can accept it, why not"

"This time, old man, I owe my life to Young Master Zong. Your family's business, even if you don't want payment, I'll do it well for you."

After this incident, Li Muhui was completely terrified. His and his son's lives were saved by others. Even if he had no conscience, he wouldn't feel comfortable trying to cheat them out of their money anymore.

And Li Muhui also realized the reality, these days without a backer, nothing can be solved by oneself.

As for the silver they were cheated out of, their family would never recover it. Just Fang Jinshi alone relying on them as a couple would not be enough to recoup it in a lifetime.

Fang Jinshu nodded, "It's fine as long as you're capable. Don't worry, Uncle Li, after the villa is built, I will definitely treat you well."

Li Muhai no longer cared about making money or not. As long as Fang Jinshu could continue to support them and they could work for her their whole lives, he was content.

Fang Jinshu gave Li Muhai one day to tidy up, and they did not go back to his house. They found an inn in the city to rest.

Zhao Xingzhou was well-informed. Fang Jinshi stayed in the county town for one day. No one planned to see her, hoping to set off back to the village on time the next morning.

Going back to build a house is the top priority.

But she didn't seek others out, yet others came to her eagerly.

First came Zhao Xingzhou, who got word from somewhere and showed up at the inn late at night with his attendant.

After seeing Fang Jinshu, she was still unhappy.

“Aren’t we already in a cooperative relationship Didn’t you say you wanted me to be your subordinate Why didn’t you come to the county town and find me to arrange a place for you to stay”

Fang Jinshui was speechless. What was this little daughter-in-law's disgruntled expression all about

Zongyu is still here, this kid hasn't had enough of last time's lesson, has he

"Have you solved all of Zhao Xingzhou's problems" Her single sentence left him speechless.

Time is so short, of course it's not finished.

"No." he replied grumpily.

"Fang Jinxiu let out a snort of laughter. 'So you're not officially under my command yet. If you want to officially work for me, clean up your own mess first!'"

"There's nothing important here, you should go back first. Don't let your father and elder brother know you came to see me secretly, or they'll cause trouble for me again. I'll be back tomorrow morning."

Zhao Xingzhou hit a snag here with Fang Jinxiu and had to dejectedly go back.

He had just left when the fat old man came back again, what's with all this excitement tonight I can't sleep!r really think that this imperial court has been renamed to their Yuan family's realm, haven't they!For decades, Yuan Buyu had served by the emperor's side and knew his every thought. Before the emper...
