Chapter 757: The Good Things Came Too Late

After Zong Yu carried her back, he inevitably demanded some benefits.Zong Bai was reading, Yu Lian and her mother were busy with the work in the field behind the house.The house was eerily quiet, whi...Fang Jinxiu's eyes at that time were truly terrifying, like venomous snakes or beasts lurking in the darkness. They stared at her, pinning her in place, unable to move an inch. A bone-chilling fear crept up her legs.

After she left, Fang Mingxia only then came to her senses, breathing heavily. Xiao Cao saw her condition and helped her sit down on a bench.

"Big, big sister," she said fearfully to Fang Mingxia.

In the past, even at home, her older sister often bullied her, and being beaten was a common occurrence.

Fang Mingxia only after the fact remembered the words Fang Jinxiu had said before she left, and was furious.

"What's this dead girl acting up for!"

"When you needed me, you called me your dear sister. Once your memory returned, you told me to get lost!"

"Who in the world would do such a thing I didn't go home to sleep at night, and came to this deserted mountain all for nothing. She even doesn't appreciate it"

"She still owes me a big sum of hush money!"

I am not leaving! I want to see if that dead girl really dares to kill me.

Fang Mingxia slammed the table heavily, looking as if she had made up her mind and wasn't leaving.

The little grass was frightened and hurriedly hid back beside Mu's bed, shrinking its body and not daring to approach her any closer.

She wouldn't dare to be like the second sister, daring to speak harshly and defying the eldest sister.

But if Big Sister keeps making such a fuss, not only will she disturb Mu Auntie's rest, but she might even attract Zong Lao San's people. Then they'll be doomed.

So the little blade of grass still took a deep breath.

"Big, big sister."

Fang Mingxia glared back at her, "What are you doing!"

She couldn't bring herself to say "shut up". Instead, she imitated her second sister's gesture from before, pulling an imaginary zipper across her mouth.

"Shh."

Fang Mingxia was naturally furious when she saw this. Fang Jinshu, that dead girl, dared to yell at her, but now even Xiaocao, that little girl, dared to complain about her being annoying and told her to shut up.

Xiao Cao saw that his older sister was about to have a fit and quickly explained in a low voice.

"If Zong Lao San's people find you here, they'll take you away."

The second sister isn't here, they're just weak women after all.

Fang Mingxia only then remembered that this was not the courtyard given to her by her grandfather, and her situation was still a little dangerous.

He could only sulk and shut his mouth.

Seeing her elder sister no longer shouting, Xiaocao let out a big sigh of relief and carefully poured her elder sister a cup of cold water from the cracked teapot.

Actually, when Xiaocao saw her elder sister and second sister appear together, she was shocked beyond words. In her memory, her elder sister was very averse to trouble. Any matter that might implicate her or put her in danger, she wouldn't even touch.

Even though her older sister said it was for the better, Xiaocǎo still found it very strange.

This isn't something the elder sister would do.

After recovering her memories, Fang Jinshi did not immediately rush into the main courtyard of the mountain manor to confront and seek revenge from Elder Zong San. Instead, under the cover of night, she went to the village.

She touched the wall of Zhao Village Chief's courtyard, listening to the sounds inside.

It seems like there's still someone here.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she knocked on the Zhao family's gate.

In a moment, Tie Zhu's voice rang out, "Who"

After several months, hearing Tiezhu's voice again, Fang Jinshu felt a little dazed.

Just now, Xiaocǎo said that Village Chief Zhào passed away.

Her voice caught in her throat, becoming noticeably husky.

"It was me."

The familiar voice also startled Tiezhu behind the door, but only for a few seconds before he hurriedly opened it. Seeing that it was Fang Jinshi standing outside, this blood-spirited young man who had just turned twenty cried his heart out.

"Sister Jinxiu, it's really you, that's great you didn't die!"

“Great!”

Fang Jinshi was also very excited and complex in her mood, but the door wasn't the place to speak.

She urgently needed to find out what had happened in the village during the months she and Zongyu were away.

She didn't know anything about the affairs of the mountain villa while she was staying at the Zong family. She didn't know the specific details at all.

"Come in first and then we'll talk."

Tie Zhu wiped away a tear, quickly nodded and turned to let her in. Then he cautiously glanced out the door several times, making sure no one was watching before Fang Jinxiu entered, then closed the courtyard gate.

"First, let me pay my respects to Uncle Wang."

Tie Zhu's eyes instantly filled with sadness. He lowered his gaze and nodded, leading Fang Jinxiu into the spirit hall adorned with Wang Cunzhang's memorial tablet.

"Father, Jinxiu's sister-in-law has come to see you."

Fang Jinshi walked to the cushion, knelt down on both knees, her eyes red-rimmed, and kowtowed heavily to Wang Qingshan's tablet.

"Sorry, Uncle Wang, Jinshu is late."iu's space. He and his wife dug them back from the mountain little by little.The little medicine field of the daughter-in-law also planted many kinds, besides these few herbs, there are many others.Sh...
