Chapter 304: Build Two Wooden Houses >
at a loss as to how to approach Fang Jinxiu."Sister Jinxiu, we servants owe you too much."I don't know how to repay you.Fang Jinshu was slumped in her chair, exhausted. She waved a hand weakly. "No n...After some thought, she found that there was nothing to worry about. They weren't short of food at home anyway.
Fang Jinshu waved her hand, taking Xiaoyue and Qiujing home.
Zong Yu walked all the way, carrying Chunlan back to the town head's house where they had first encountered the bandits. Along the way, he found Chunlan too bothersome and knocked her unconscious with a palm strike, which made things much quieter.
The town was still deserted, but without the bandits, it had become much more peaceful. The officials had come by once, which probably had a deterrent effect.
Sometimes, you can still see a few people on the street, probably residents who haven't had time to move yet.
He threw Chunlan into the dilapidated yard of the town chief's house. To prevent her from revealing the village's affairs, Zongyu's eyes were filled with a cold glint.
He locked the mayor's house up tight, keeping anyone from getting in and no one from getting out. He wasn't going to kill her, but he wouldn't let her go so easily either.
After doing all that, he began to rush home.
When Zongyu returned home in the afternoon, Qiuju had already become good friends with Xiaoyue and Jinlan. From them, he learned about Fang Jinshu's rules.
Looking at one more mouth to feed in the house, Fang Jinshu felt a headache coming on.
"How am I supposed to sleep tonight I can't have three girls sleeping on the floor in my room every day," she complained to Mrs. Mu.
"If the house isn't big enough, we can just build a new one, sis-in-law. Didn't you say before that our family was going to build a new house" Yulian had been thinking about the new house all the time.
She is now living with someone named Qin Qianqian.
This girl stays locked up in her room all day and doesn't come out or talk to anyone, she's so boring.
Besides Mr. Qin, she doesn't associate with anyone else.
Sometimes Yu Lian would get up in the middle of the night, and she'd see her standing alone by the door, not sleeping. Especially at night when there were no lights, the moonlight shining outside was terrifying.
Zhong Yulian was starting to get fed up, desperately wanting to return to her former life of solitary living in a single room.
"It's originally intended to build a new house," Fang Jinxiu said helplessly. "But I've already told Village Chief Wang that we'll buy this deserted mountain where we live."
"With the drought causing famine everywhere now, land and barren hills are also cheaper to buy."
"The silver in my hands is not yet available to spend."
Just as Zongyu returned home, he heard his wife's distressed voice.
"Leave the house building to me, you won't have to spend a penny."
Fang Jinshi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly got up, "You're back, what's the situation in town now"
Neither of the couple cared about Chunlan's well-being. In fact, she had sent Zongyu on this trip to find out what was happening in town now.
After all, one can't stay cooped up in the village forever, ignoring the world. If things get too chaotic outside, even the Su merchant caravan would have trouble getting through.
"The town looks much calmer than before, and people are still living here."
"The food you left behind should have saved many lives."
Fang Jinxiu heard that the town situation was okay, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's fine."
"By the way, you just said you could build a house without spending a penny. How do you plan to do that"
Zongyu smiled and said, "This whole mountain is full of timber. It's not difficult to build a few houses."
On this point, Zongyu was indeed very qualified to speak. Zongbei hurriedly explained to Fang Jinshu.
"Sister-in-law, our house used to be in such bad shape before, but look now, it's fixed up solid."
"All of this is thanks to Big Brother."
"Big brother is really amazing. Building a house is nothing to him, his carpentry skills are excellent."
Fang Jinxiu raised her eyebrows in surprise, her expression pleasing Zong Yu.
The man's lips twitched slightly, "Don't listen to Zongbo talk nonsense. He can't compare to the carpenter in town, but building a few small wooden houses to live in is doable."
As her own man, he was so capable. Fang Jinshu finally understood what it felt like to be proud.
This little hut was built just for the few new mouths in the family. The three little girls, Xiao Yue and her sisters, were already hugging each other happily.
"Great, we're going to have a new house to live in."
Fang Jinshu walked to Qin Chongyan's side, "Mr. Qin, we will also build a small courtyard for you separately. In the future, Zongbai can study with you there and it will be more quiet."
"You can choose an empty space around our house to build yours first."
Qin Chongyan was so surprised that he repeatedly bowed to Fang Jinxiu, expressing his gratitude.his sake all this time. Now that things are finally settling down, everyone must be very tired.He really shouldn't disturb her at this time.Well, he can verify this himself. He said he wanted to be in...
