Chapter 577: When are we eating?

understood her mother-in-law's meaning.They had tried every means to dissuade her from this marriage, but Zong Yulian was determined to marry far away.She didn't want to have another pointless conflic...Fang Jinxiu was taken aback, “Xiaochao, what are you saying”

She realized something might be off and hurriedly sat back beside her sister.

"Talk to your second sister properly. What does it mean when someone's watching you outside Did you see who it was"

The little grass shook its head in fear, unable to speak for a moment.

"I don't know who he is."

But I can feel that as soon as I step out the door, I feel like someone is always watching me.

"Second sister, I'm scared," Little Grass huddled beside her, like a frightened rabbit, eyes red.

When recounting this event, her body still trembled slightly, and her eyes held a glimmer of fear.

Fang Jinshi hurriedly hugged the person into her arms, gently patting her back, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, with Erjie here, no one can hurt you anymore."

"Don't worry, elder sister will definitely find out the person who's been watching you."

Fang Jinshi soothed her for a long time, and Xiaocao gradually recovered her composure.

She whispered, "With Second Sister here, Xiaochao is not afraid."

Fang Jinshi smiled and tapped the little girl's nose. "My mother-in-law said you've been wearing dirty clothes in the house for days, let Second Sister see if you've become a stinky weed."

The little grass lowered her head shyly and hurriedly began to untie her clothes. In a short while, she expertly changed out of her soiled garments.

She was too embarrassed to let her second sister wash her dirty clothes. She clutched them in her hands and kept searching for a wooden basin, wanting to put them aside first until nightfall when no one was around so she could sneak out and wash them.

Little Grass was timid. During her time with the Fang family, she had been enslaved by her entire family, and long ago developed a habit of being extremely careful about everything she did.

Fang Jinshu didn't want to scare her, she was willing to hide if she wanted to. She would wait until she went to sleep at night and secretly take the dirty clothes away to wash them.

All afternoon, because Xiaochao was emotionally unstable, Fang Jinxiu did everything with her.

When she was around, the little grass dared to go out of the house.

He also dared to look around at the place he was now living.

When she saw a large pond outside the yard, Little Grass was overjoyed. But no matter how excited she was and what dramatic actions she took, all she could manage was to wave her sleeves.

"Second Sister, look quickly, there's water here! So much water!"

After such a long drought, anyone who first sees their village's reservoir would be amazed.

It's not easy to see so much clean water these days.

At dinner time, the Zong family was overjoyed to see Xiaocǎo willing to leave her room.

Zong Bai let out a dramatic sigh and said, "If Xiaocǎo wouldn't come out, I almost had to find someone to send a letter asking your sister-in-law to come back."

When Xiaocao saw Zong Bai speaking, she immediately hid behind Fang Jinshu.

Mu, upon seeing this, immediately pulled Zong Bai to the back.

"Just stop talking, you'll scare little Grass."

Zong Bai helplessly scratched his head, he had never seen such a timid girl.

Yulian sneered at him from behind. "I didn't expect even Second Brother to have a day when he was scared by a girl."

"You're not always so eloquent, are you Could all the village girls really like you"

Zong Bai and Zong Yu were indeed two extremes in the village. Zong Bai was lively, eloquent, and handsome, so he was very popular with the village's older women and young girls.

But every time the name 'Zongyu' appeared, these women would all run away like they had seen a ghost.

Zongbai didn't like how they treated his older brother, and over time, he stopped talking to the village girls.

But his good reputation for being approachable and friendly remains.

This was Yu Lian's first time seeing this, a maiden would be afraid of her second brother.

Her second older brother's face was very deceiving, according to her sister-in-law, he looked like a young mistress!

"Who said Little Grass sister was afraid of me, she's just not used to a new environment."

Yulian didn't feel that way.

"I think she's afraid of you. Look, when mother speaks to her, she doesn't even try to get away."

As soon as you stepped forward, they all scattered like they'd seen a ghost and hid behind your sister-in-law.

"Hahaha, little Xiaocǎo sister is so interesting, just like the sensitive plant on the mountain, she shrinks back as soon as you touch her."

Zong Bai glared at Yu Lian, "You think everyone is like you, a crazy woman! Xia Cao is timid, you have nothing to do but scare and bully people!"

Yulian retorted defiantly, "Little Grass isn't afraid of me. If anyone is going to bully, it's you bullying her, not the other way around!"

"I won't bully little Caocao either."

"You will, she's afraid of you, you're scary!"

Zong Bai was about to be driven mad, this twin sister of his was born to annoy him.

"If you have the guts, Zong Yulian, stand there and see if I don't sew your mouth shut."

The siblings instantly started wrestling in the back, a scene that Mu Shi and Fang Jinxiu had long become accustomed to.

It's common for them to bicker and fight, as long as things don't get too out of hand, everyone usually just lets it go.

The little grass, originally frightened and huddled behind Fang Jinxiu, saw Zong Bai and Yulian playfully bicker before becoming engrossed in their conversation. She couldn't help but giggle with amusement.

Zong Bai heard the sound and immediately stopped chasing Yu Lian. He turned his head and met Xiao Cao's gaze, which hadn't had time to retract.

The little blade of grass hurriedly lowered its head, blushing quietly.

Zong Bai also turned his head a little awkwardly.

"Hey Mom, when are we eating"e else with important decisions,""So, I recommend a local manager from Luoshui City. He can handle the day-to-day affairs of the Chamber of Commerce while I'm away. I'll step back and focus on guiding...
