Chapter 106: What's With This Delicate Act?

er for his family, of course, he secretly hid the other five ounces and didn't tell anyone.And I can immediately go find that Zong Yulian again and ask for more money.As soon as he thought of this, Zo...Zong Bai woke up to see another wall of firewood neatly stacked in the kitchen. He was dumbfounded.

Just as Zongyu walked in.

"Big brother, are you preparing to store firewood for winter and sell it then"

Fang Jinshu heard this and her eyes suddenly lit up, “Can firewood even be sold”

Zong Bai nodded, "Yes, in winter a bundle of firewood can sell for two copper coins!"

Only two words Fang Jinshu immediately curled her lips, that's not as good as keeping Zongyu's strength to take her to collect medicine.

They make more than this.

"Don't sell it, keep it for burning in the winter," Zong Yu patted the two heads. "Take the breakfast upstairs."

Fang Jinxiu felt her head being gently rubbed by a big hand, warm and fuzzy. She instinctively looked at Zongyu, their eyes met.

Last night, when she was rubbing against someone's arm, she wasn't shy at all. She probably thought that since it was nighttime and there were no lights on, relying on Zong Yu not being able to see her expression, she could act recklessly.

Now, her face flushed uncharacteristically.

This would only have been rubbed on the head, and actually became shy.

She lowered her head and stepped aside from Zong Yu, walking into the kitchen. "I, I'll pour the medicine for mother and let it cool down."

The Mu clan's apothecary got up before dawn to start concocting medicine, and these past few days, the complexion of the head of the Mu clan has visibly improved.

Although Zong Yu inwardly let out a slight breath of relief, he became increasingly curious about Jinxiu's remarkable skills.

If she possesses such impressive medical skills, how could she end up being sold

At breakfast, Zongyu looked at his younger brother.

"Today you stay at home to take care of mother, I will take your sister-in-law to the mountains to collect medicine."

As soon as Zong Bo heard that his sister-in-law was going to collect medicine, he nodded without saying a word.

"Got it, bro."

Yesterday he was supposed to stay home and work, but he went up the mountain and didn't come back until evening. Zongbai already felt sorry for his sister-in-law.

"By the way, sister-in-law, you and mother were home yesterday, nothing happened, right"

He only just thought to ask.

Just as Mu was about to speak of how the willow clan had come to cause trouble yesterday, a furious shout from Zong Pingkang suddenly came from the door.

Mu Shi stood there for a moment, watching as both her sons and their daughter-in-law had already risen to leave through the courtyard gate.

"Well, why do these two always seem to show up when we're having dinner at someone else's place" she muttered under her breath before getting up and following after them.

Zong Yu frowned, looking at his imposing uncle and his tearful aunt standing beside him.

Her forehead had a lump the size of a chicken egg, and her cheeks seemed uneven, with the left side slightly swollen as if she had been slapped hard.

"Auntie, what is this" Zong Yu asked hesitantly.

He didn't ask, but once he did, Madam Liu cried even harder. She pointed at Fang Jinshi beside her and shouted angrily.

"Ask your wife!"

"This is what she does!"

Zong Ping's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but in reality, he was blooming with joy inside. He had returned late last night and only this morning did he hear from Liu Shi about her being beaten. Before he could even eat breakfast, he dragged her over here.

I'm thinking about how much I should overcharge this time.

"Cousin, what should we do this time"

"Your wife beat my wife like this, she's your elder sister-in-law, an elder! Do you still have any rules and etiquette in your eyes"

"You beat up the elders like this, you should give us an explanation, right"

Fang Jinxiu secretly snorted, thinking that he hadn't noticed. Zongping Kang’s eyes had just flashed with greed!

Want to cheat her Not a chance.

"Splendid." Zong Yu's eyes flashed a hint of surprise. Had they been fighting Why hadn't his wife told him last night

Aunt's temper was just like her own mother's back in the day, equally domineering and unreasonable. Her daughter-in-law, being delicate and frail, endured it silently out of fear for her safety.

Before he could even finish his shout, Fang Jinshu rushed into his arms with a look of surprise and nervousness on her face. Her expression was unlike anything she usually showed.

"My husband, what are Uncle and Auntie talking about"

"I didn't see my aunt yesterday at all, let alone hit her. Besides, I'm so skinny and she's so strong, how could I possibly beat her up like that"

"She didn't even go easy on me."

After Fang Jinxiu finished speaking, Zong Yu almost immediately believed her.

If she doesn't see him, maybe she should change her angle and give him a playful wink.

"You!" Mrs. Liu was so angry she nearly jumped up. She wanted to come over and question Fang Jinshu, thinking she would try to weasel out of it, but she never expected her to outright deny ever seeing her yesterday!

"You're talking nonsense!" she gritted her teeth, "You were acting so fierce yesterday, now you're pretending to be weak!"uld withstand a punch from her brother A Yu."What"Zhao Xingzhou finally figured out something from Fang Jinxiu's expression, which was hard to describe.Her pupils dilated, widening with shock. "You,...
