Chapter 77 How Did You Know?

bandit.She's a civilized person, she just opens her mouth and doesn't move a finger to get what she wants."Don't look at me like that, I'm not planning to make a grab for it.""My grandfather had promi...Fang Jinshui saw their surprise, "This white lingzhi, I wasn't planning on selling it. But since the other party earnestly requested it and said the price was up to me..."

"Better off being slaughtered than left alive."

“Don't you all find him disagreeable I knew all along he wouldn't pay a high price for this ganoderma.”

"I just casually quoted a high price. If he actually pays, we'll make a big profit."

If he doesn't want to, we won't lose out either.

"Isn't it"

Zong Bai couldn't help but applaud Fang Jinxiu after hearing this.

"This move is high."

"Both of them could make that Su guy half to death."

"I won't sell it to him." He chuckled for a while, then his face suddenly contorted, "But that insufferable Su... His mother is in grave danger. Sister-in-law, why don't you sell him the medicinal herbs at a cheaper price"

After all, it's a matter of life and death.

Fang Jinxiu glanced at Zong Bai. The kindness of the Zong family members came from their bones. This kid might talk like a scoundrel, but he was actually very soft-hearted.

"Don't worry, that Su fellow bought the Lingzhi mushroom not for his mother. It's hard to say if his mother even has a sickness."

He is lying.

"How did you know" the two brothers exclaimed in shock.

They all surprisingly asked it in unison.

Just as Fang Jinshu was about to answer, Mu Shi interjected with a question, “Who is this Mr. Su”

The three of them tacitly avoided mentioning Zong Yulian's name. Zong Bai gave a vague explanation.

"The young master who came to the village to buy medicine was quite wealthy."

"Oh oh." Mu Shi didn't ask any further, lowering her head to continue eating breakfast.

After finishing the last bit of corn porridge in her bowl, Fang Jinxiu replied, "I will get checked out. That excuse Su claimed to use will fool others, but it won't fool me."

"The person who truly needs medicine to cure his illness is actually himself."

Zong Yu's brows suddenly furrowed tightly.

If that's really the case, then Mr. Su's claim of marrying a woman to cure his sick mother is naturally false as well.

What was his purpose in taking Yulian away

Zong Bai also thought of this, the faces of the two brothers suddenly turned ugly, and they both stood up.

"I'm full, Mother. Yesterday Uncle Wang asked me to help him lead people up the mountain to dig a water channel. They found a water source."

"I'm going out first."

Last night he saw Mr. Su walking down to the village, he must not have left yet.

Zong Bai also found an excuse, "The vegetables at my parents' home aren't enough to eat anymore. I'll go up the mountain and dig some more."

Both sons went out every day to look for food and drink. Mu Shi had long been accustomed to staying home alone; she used to have Yu Lian to keep her company.

Now even the daughter has left, she glanced at Fang Jinshu.

"If you find yourself bored at home, you can also go down to the village and visit some young brides of similar age."

Now every household in the village is starving, wishing they could spend all day searching for food and drink. Who has time to play with others

Fang Jinshi knew that Mu Shi was worried she would be bored at home, so she shook her head.

"No, both of them brothers have gone out. How can we rest assured leaving you alone at home"

"I'll stay and keep you company. I can tend to my herb garden and vegetable patch while I'm here."

They left in a hurry, and vanished without a trace.

After breakfast, Fang Jinshi took the bowls to wash. Mu Shi had been taking medicine for a few days and her body was much better, so she brought her embroidery work out into the yard to continue.

Fang Jinxiu hadn't slept well all night, but Zong Bai wasn't home right now. She decided to forgo catching up on sleep.

She went for a walk around the herb garden, where the herbs were growing very well. She used her small shovel to make neat little mounds of soil for them and secretly watered them with some spring water.

Then I cleaned the yard, wiped down the tables and cabinets, and did all the housework I could at home.

The Chezong family was so small, there was only one cabinet each in Mu's house and her own house. All this work took less than ten minutes altogether.

When she was cleaning, she found that many of Zong's wooden house pillars were severely corroded, and there were also damaged areas on the roof.

There are considerable safety hazards.

Living in a wooden house for a long time is really not a good idea. In winter, the insulation of a wooden house is far from satisfactory, and it's also not as sturdy as a brick or stone house.

The drought is still going on and there's no telling when it will end. They still have a lot to do.

Mrs. Mu had just finished mending a piece of cloth and suddenly beckoned to Fang Jinshi.

"Jinxiu, come here, use this handkerchief, see if you like it."ary and he had already become a fifth-rank military officer in the court.So when Zhao Yun appeared, many of the guests and officials present actually recognized him."Isn't this Zhao Er Gongzi""He look...
