Chapter 446: Returning to the Village

th large bites, having a hearty appetite but not in an unsightly manner.Fang Jinshu was stunned for a moment before she remembered, "Hey, rabbit legs still have bones! Don't chew like that, you won't...She waved her hand and brought the entire Li family back to the village.

Li Muhai's engineering team was short two people, so he hired two more to replace them. As long as there was money and food, lots of people were willing to take this job.

Fang Jinxiu and Zong Yu led a group of people back to the village in great numbers. When they arrived home, it was already dark.

Mu was again waiting at the door, a lantern flickering there. But why was this lantern white

The couple looked at each other in surprise. Even though their aunt had passed away, their family wouldn't hang white lanterns, would they

If I'm going to be hanged, it should be at Zong Hu Gege's house.

Two people hurried to Mu Shi's side. When Mu Shi saw that the children were safe and sound, she let out a sigh of relief.

No matter how capable the children are, as long as they can't be seen, she will still worry in her heart. Only when she sees people standing safely in front of her will she feel at ease.

"It's good to have you back, how did your trip go"

Zong Yu and Fang Jinshui always reported good news but not bad news to their family, especially in front of Mu Shi.

"Mother, does it seem like we're not doing well"

"We also found Tiezhu and brought him back. He sustained some injuries. I'll make time to visit Uncle Wang's house later and apologize properly. This time, it was my oversight that almost put Tiezhu in danger."

“I had Zong Hu Ge send him home first.”

Mu heard that Tiezhu was injured, his eyebrows only wrinkled slightly, and he didn't chase after him to ask. Apparently, he had something more serious on his mind.

"Mother, why is the white lamp hanging" asked Zongyu.

"What happened at home"

Their hearts sank instantly. They couldn't possibly be this unlucky, could they They had only been away from home for two days.

Mu sighed, such a big thing she wanted to hide but couldn't.

"Your grandfather has passed away."

At that time, Fang Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, almost thinking she had auditory hallucinations.

"Mother, who has left"

"Grand Elder"

Mu nodded. "Yes, the night the official took Zong Pingkang away, your grandfather couldn't bear the blow and passed away."

The old master actually died like this

Fang Jinshi really couldn't have imagined that the insidious and cunning old man would exit in such a way.

Zongping Kang's arrest for murder actually had such a big impact on him.

When her adoptive father, Zong Laodai, went to take the imperial examinations and disappeared, even rumored dead, not a single person in the Zong family shed a tear for him.

The patriarch was even more concerned with his family's interests, ruthlessly driving his son and the three children out of the clan.

He couldn't stand the stimulation of seeing his eldest son taken away and died from it. This old man was always so partial until the end.

Sadness is impossible, Fang Jinshi is only shocked and surprised. After thinking about it carefully, she feels even more sorry for her mother-in-law's family.

She turned her head to look at Zong Yu, but Zong Yu remained expressionless as ever, his face betraying neither joy nor anger.

Mu Shi said, “Things happened suddenly. After all, he is your grandfather. No matter what he did in the past, A Yu, you should still take Yulian Zong Bai to go and burn incense for him.”

Fang Jinshu didn't mind. Could she possibly hold a grudge against a dead person

The old Patriarch brought this upon himself. If he had treated his three sons equally, not favoring the eldest son too much, things wouldn't have turned out like this today.

What you sow, so shall you reap.

"You don't need to look at me, you three siblings share the same surname. It's fine if you go up to Master Zong and pay your respects, but please don't drag me into it."

She's not that magnanimous to kowtow and burn incense for someone who spends all day thinking about killing her.

She could indeed let bygones be bygones, but that was all it amounted to.

Fang Jinxiu led Li Muhui and others into the house. With so many people coming, there was no place to accommodate them yet as the new building hadn't been finished.

"Uncle Li, please trouble yourselves to stay here and sleep for the night."

Fang Jinshu pointed to the floor of their living room, "We'll have to sleep on the floor for now. Tomorrow morning, we'll build some wooden houses to give everyone a place to stay."

Li Muhai smiled and nodded, "It's nothing, master. In the past, when we went out to work, we lived in all sorts of places. Sleeping on the floor every day is no big deal."

Fang Jinshu said, "As long as you guys do a good job, I will definitely not let you suffer losses. I will also make sure you don't sleep on the floor every day. Rest assured, this is all temporary."

After settling everyone down, Jinxiu also prepared to return to her room for a rest.

zongyu didn't come back, he must have taken his younger siblings to the old house. Fang Jinxiu waited until midnight but still hadn't seen zongyu return, a bad feeling began to creep into her heart.

At this very moment, a frantic call from Yu Lian came from outside the door.

"Mother, sister-in-law, something's wrong!" demanding."“Zhao Yi and Zhao Er began learning martial arts with me from a young age. Someone who could defeat both of them in a single fight, even within the state city, would be rare.”Fang Jinxiu...
