Chapter 483: The Uses of Xiaohua

re, but the key to getting out of this mess lies with Zong Tiger brother.After all, he was the eldest son of the main family, his responsibilities and younger siblings were different from others.If we...Hu Ai-lan, as usual, did not get to eat the Zong family's dinner and was driven away by Yu Lian. After Yu Lian returned to the dinner table, she suddenly felt a little worried.

"Sister-in-law, she's already been going on for six days straight. I think she's about to give up. Sister-in-law, your method is really good. Now she should know when to back down and not try to take anything from our family anymore."

"I don't think she'll come tomorrow."

"Not necessarily," Fang Jinshi shook her head.

“You shouldn't underestimate Hu Ai-lan's perseverance.”

She was able to persevere through six days of grueling labor, which is not something an ordinary woman could do. When she left tonight, she didn't say she wanted to give up, which shows how strong her willpower is.

"I have a good idea about what happened to Hu Ailan. Yu Lian, has there been any more missing vegetables from the garden recently"

Yulian shook her head. "No, ever since sister-in-law tied Xiaohua behind the house, the vegetable patch hasn't lost any vegetables."

Fang Jinshui nodded. "Xiao Hua, I still have other uses for her, and she can't just stay in the vegetable patch all the time. So we still need to find a way to catch this vegetable thief."

After dinner, Fang Jinxiu carried a fresh piece of raw meat in one hand and a bowl of spiritual spring water in the other to find Xiaohua at the back of the house.

This tabby tiger has absolutely no sense of being a tiger. After being domesticated, it's just like a house cat, sleeping and eating all day long.

It would be lying beside the vegetable patch, paws batting playfully at little insects.

As soon as Fang Jinshu approached Xiaohua, she raised her head to look over. Good, at least she wasn't completely useless. The beast's alertness was still there.

Before she got close, Xiaohua had already stood up and was circling around her eagerly, rubbing her big head against her legs.

"Alright, alright, I'm not coming to see you all lazy like this."

Little Hua choked back two whimpers, her voice full of grievance.

"You're acting wronged Let me tell you, I don't raise useless tigers. If you want to stay here and have food and drink, you have to bring in results that satisfy me."

The tabby cat, Huabanhu, glanced at the vegetable patch before turning its head back to Fang Jinshi and let out a mournful howl.

Doesn't this count as work

Fang Jinshi tapped its forehead. "Looking at the vegetable patch isn't an achievement."

Then she brought the meat and spirit water in her hand to Huabanhu's face. Huabanhu immediately excitedly jumped up and down. It glanced at the meat twice, then kept staring expectantly at the small bowl of spirit water in Fang Jinshi's hand.

Huhu, it had long discovered that this vegetable patch was brimming with spiritual energy, but the source of this energy wasn't from the vegetables or the soil itself.

But it was the water in the mistress's hands.

Relying on its instincts, the leopard particularly wanted to drink.

"Want a drink"

The dappled tiger nodded repeatedly.

"If you want some, help me catch the vegetable thief and patrol the area around the manor from now on. If you do well, I'll give you a drink every day." Fang Jinxiu paused deliberately.

The spotted tiger was getting impatient, she lightly scratched her with her claws a couple of times, urging her to speak quickly.

Is it a bowl every day

That works too.

"Hmph, you little rascal, I knew you could understand me." They say after the founding of the nation, animals weren't allowed to become spirits anymore. Now it's another dimension, even something as magical as time travel happened to her, so seeing animals become spirits isn't that surprising anymore.

"Half a bowl every day, and only a whole bowl of spring water when they perform exceptionally well."

Huhu whimpered with grievance, his upside-down gaze revealing what he was complaining about.

"Dare you call me stingy Do you know how precious and rare this spring water is Look at the other tigers, do they have any"

They haven't even had a drop, you just have to wander around here every day, catching prey, and you can drink half a bowl, Xiaohua, a tiger should be content!

The poor, spotted tiger cub had never been to school nor seen the world. Raised in the deep mountains since childhood, it had no idea how treacherous people's hearts could be.

With just a few words, Fang Jinxiu had successfully coaxed the girl back into fawning over her and rubbing against her affectionately.

With a bowl of spirit water and a piece of fresh meat down his belly, the flower-patterned tiger, Hualiban, was completely satisfied. He immediately changed from his previous apathetic state and started patrolling everywhere diligently!

Yu Lian and Zong Bai hid aside, stealing glances and practically idolizing Fang Jinxiu.

"Your sister-in-law is amazing, even tigers listen to her." Zong Bai exclaimed.

"Well, Xiaohua is pretty friendly to me usually. When it's in a good mood, it even lets me pet it a couple of times."

"Second Brother, do you dare"

Zong Bai glared at his sister angrily, “I wouldn’t touch a tiger even if you paid me. You’re only able to touch it because of your sister-in-law’s face. Xiaohua is letting you touch it just because she favors your sister-in-law. What are you so proud about”

Zong Bai's tone was extremely sour, making Yu Lian burst into laughter.

Fang Jinshu walked over, and the two immediately stopped fighting.

"Alright, let's just head home and wait for good news from Xiaohua." have much money, this is the only thing Mother could come up with.""At least it's silver, worth something.""You take this, if it's not enough we'll figure something out."In Mu's heart, Fang Jinshu ha...
