mami and finally found the Zong family after asking for directions. 。At the thought of soon getting my hands on those five taels of silver, my mood finally brightened a bit. When I entered the house,...In the end, that person still let Fang Jinshu go. Keeping him wouldn't be of much use anyway.

At first, they were going to let him go, but he wouldn't budge. He clung desperately to Zongyu's leg, begging him to save his sister.

Originally, I was supposed to cling onto Fang Jinxiu's powerful thighs, but Zong Yu stopped me.

He refused to leave, insisting that they promise to save his sister from Li Gou's clutches. Only then would he depart, otherwise, he said, he would be betraying the memory of his deceased parents.

Anyway, since we're going to deal with Li Gou, innocent women should of course be saved as well.

Chang He and Tie Zhu hadn't slept well all night because of what happened last night. The two of them got up before dawn, but they were afraid that coming too early would disturb the Zong family's rest.

After all, their sister-in-law and her companions only returned last night. The two of them had to wait at home for nearly an hour, so they estimated that Fang Jinshu and the others probably came over after finishing breakfast.

As a result, he ended up going hungry.

With things settled, Li Muhai wanted to discuss with Fang Jinshu how to arrange the twenty or so people he had brought last night.

Turning their heads, they saw the two boys standing in the courtyard, each with a mournful expression on their faces.

Okay, he can come back later.

As soon as Li Muhai left, Fang Jinshi heard a rumbling sound coming from someone's stomach.

Iron Pillar and Chang He's cheeks flushed instantly, their first reactions were to point at each other.

It's his stomach rumbling!

Xiaoyue lowered her head and let out a chuckle. Tiezhu heard her laughter and wished he could bury his head in his chest.

Fang Jinshi helplessly shook her head.

"Little Yue," she called out. Little Yue, who had been following Fang Jinxiu for some time, immediately understood her meaning.

And I was already prepared.

"Jinxiu, there's some douchi bing left in the pot. I'll go make some more soy milk."

It's really great to have a capable and caring maid at home. Fang Jinshu turned her head, her face instantly becoming slightly somber.

"You two."

Seeing Fang Jinshu's serious expression, the two of them immediately felt a jolt of anxiety, their bodies tensing up.

"Sister-in-law, we know we were wrong."

Especially Tiezhu, the sound of admitting his mistake sounded like he was shouting through a megaphone.

"Sister-in-law, I promise I won't be impulsive next time."

"From now on, I will definitely listen to Chang He's advice more."

Fang Jinxiu wasn't really trying to blame the two of them. At the end of the day, she was still worried about their safety. To avoid this situation happening again in the future, she had to be serious with them and give them a good talking-to so they would remember it.

“Zongyu has warned you more than once not to go up the mountain at night.”

"Why you're not allowed to go up the mountain at night, you should all know in your hearts."

Seeing the increasingly guilty expressions on their faces, Fang Jinshu still couldn't help but soften her tone slightly.

"I know you're worried about the loss inside, if the seeds are really stolen your sister-in-law will find a way."

"I would rather not see any of you get hurt or in danger than to have this seed."

"Do things by my hands, and remember this above all else: life is greater than everything!"

"Things can be replaced if they're lost, but if something happens to the both of you up in the mountains, what would I say to your parents"

"Chang He, your biggest mistake wasn't that you also ran up the mountain. Tie Zhu has always been impulsive, hasn't he Did you really have no way to stop him back then"

Not until this moment did Tiezhu and Changhe realize how different Jinxiu's aunt was from others. She truly cared about their lives and safety.

If it were another employer, who would care about the fate of their employees They would want to squeeze everyone dry and amass as much wealth as possible for themselves.

Even in such a precious situation for food and crops, Sister Jinxiu remained firm, putting their safety above all else.

Song Changhe silently took a step forward, "Sister-in-law, I know where I went wrong."

Although he spoke up to stop Tie Zhu Ge from going up the mountain, in his heart, he was also very worried about that batch of seeds. Subconsciously, he hoped that Tie Zhu Ge could go up the mountain to catch the thief and retrieve the seeds.

Now he knew, he had made the same mistake as Tie Zhu Ge, putting his seed in front of his brothers, even in front of life itself.

He used to think that his brother-in-law always made him and Tiezhu go together because they both lived in the village. Turns out, it was so they could complement each other.

Fang Jinshi let out a long breath. She had scolded, reasoned, and even given him a lesson.

"Well, I hope you'll remember this lesson and not make the same mistake again next time."

"Let's drop this for now. I'll introduce you to a few more people later. First, let's fill our stomachs."

"He even came here without having breakfast."

Although Fang Jinxiu kept chattering, both of their faces held expressions of relief.

"Sorry, sister-in-law," Chang He stammered, backing away. "I brought some dry rations with me, so I won't go in."

Tiezhu, as always, was boisterous and had already stepped over the kitchen threshold."Uncle Emperor, you called everyone away. Is there something you want to tell your nephew"King Jing'an didn't beat around the bush, but asked very directly."Ming'er, when will you set off back to the...
