Chapter 82: Fang Jinshi Takes Charge
atter with a few elders. They all disapproved of selling the barren mountain to Fang Jinshiu.It seems like they want her to contribute financially, making sure the village benefits as well.The barren..."With Auntie stirring things up like this, the food went cold."
"Mother, please sit down. I'll go reheat the dishes." Fang Jinshu held up a serving bowl and was about to get up and head towards the kitchen.
Mu quickly called her back, "No need, it's so hot today, there's no need to eat hot dishes, you don't have to bother, and relighting the fire."
Fang Jinshu listened and thought it made sense. There was no need to eat hot dishes in the summer, she sat back down and added a chopstick of bamboo shoots with meat for Mu Shi.
"Come on, Mother, eat quickly."
"Mu looked at the dish in the bowl and subconsciously asked, “Did you really put poison in this dish”
Fang Jinshu giggled and raised her head, winking playfully at her, "No, I was just scaring Grandma."
In such a short time, she wouldn't change. Poison is much harder to find than ordinary herbs. Do you really think poisoning is that easy
"From now on, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. You don't owe them anything at all."
"His putative father's surname was Zong. They cultivated him in reading and writing, hoping that he would bring honor to their family in the future."
"The money spent on him was all their own free will. I've never heard of someone who cultivates their son to take the imperial examination, and when he fails, they still demand their money back."
Besides, our foster father wasn't a failure, he disappeared. If he hadn't disappeared, he might have passed the exam by now.
"The Zong family wouldn't be like this, now."
As soon as she mentioned Zong Pingchuan, her mother-in-law's face darkened, her eyes filled with sadness.
Fang Jinshi secretly felt annoyed. She knew her mother-in-law was deeply attached to her father-in-law, and she shouldn't have mentioned it.
Thus, the following words were spoken in a progressively softer voice.
Mu Yunhe saw this, raised her head and smiled reluctantly, "It's nothing, mother has long let go after so many years."
"From now on, you're in charge of this household."
Fang Jinshu froze, and Mrs. Mu looked at her with some embarrassment and said, "The only thing I can give you now is an empty shell because our family has no wealth."
"From now on, our family will be run by you. We'll all listen to you. If we make money, we'll hand it over to you to keep safe."
Mu shi also saw that she was weak-willed and really not suitable to be the head of the household.
I've really been bullied by old people these years.
While Fang Jinxiu was different. Just looking at how hard she slapped Mrs. Liu just now, Mrs. Mu couldn't believe it. This girl, who looked like a little rabbit, actually had such a fiery temper.
She wasn't disgusted at all, rather she envied Fang Jinshu's boldness.
This household will only prosper if she takes charge.
Fang Jinshu only froze for a moment before reacting.
She didn't put on airs, and after Mu Shi's words she readily accepted the mantle of leadership.
Okay, Mother, from now on I'll be the head of the household.
"Rest assured, I will take good care of this home and ensure you live a comfortable life."
Finally, Mu shi laughed with delight. Fang Jinshi kept piling her plate with food.
As soon as she arrived, she was sold to a family in the mountains to be their daughter-in-law. She thought it would be a terrible thing, but unexpectedly, heaven had surprises for her everywhere.
My mother-in-law is very understanding, and my husband is also a good man. Besides my clueless younger sister-in-law, the rest of the family are all pretty great.
And that Zong Yulian, who was ridiculed by Fang Jinshi for being clueless, was now struggling to serve Su Yusheng, painstakingly going door to door begging for clean water.
The reason is very simple, Su Yusheng was used to a life of luxury and fine clothes, he needed a bath.
In the villages where water was scarce, people treated it as precious as their lives. They didn't even dare to drink too much, so how could they possibly lend water to others for bathing
That night, Su Yusheng went down the mountain and went straight to Wang Zhuang's house. He threw a silver ingot at him and said he wanted to stay there.
He still hadn't given up on the thousand-year white lingzhi in Fang Jinshui's hands, 30,000 taels of gold, how could that village woman not snatch it
"Auntie, please, I beg you, even a sip of water, just one mouthful would do."
Zong Yulian knelt humbly outside the door, begging, "Big sister," she said helplessly, "In this world right now, where can we possibly get water for you"
Not a drop.
"Didn't the village head say that they found a water source and sent people to dig canals up the mountain Just bear with it for a while, there will be water once the canals are finished."
The door was slammed shut after he finished speaking.
Zong Yulian stood up, dejected. She didn't know when the canal would be finished.
Su Lang couldn't stand being dirty. His skin was even whiter and more delicate than hers. He hadn't taken a bath in just two days, and he already had a rash all over his body.
Zong Yulian's heart ached terribly. She had never knelt down to anyone in her entire life.
Originally, she went there for the wealth. In just a few days, she truly lost her heart.tioned it afterward."It's not just this thing, but also those things she made difficult for you before, the matter with Chulan. If she wasn't my daughter-in-law, if it were someone else, you little gi...
