fifteen.And she didn't think Zong Yulian was marrying out of guilt to avoid her, there must be a lot more to this story.Another person who had also been missing all night returned home at this time.Z...Both of their answers were actually within Fang Jinshi's expectations, she just didn't expect them to hesitate so little.

"Well, I guess in this village, the only two people I can truly trust and rely on are you both."

Even if I can't come back for the New Year, I won't treat you poorly.

"Alright, now you two choose. Who are you going with" Yulian laughed, enjoying the drama.

Tie Zhu scratched his head vigorously, Chang He lowered his head in deep thought.

Soon after, both of them looked at Yu Lian as if by unspoken agreement.

"I'll stick with you."

I went to Luoshui.

Ah This is quite unexpected for Yulian.

"Are you two coming with me too"

"Haha, that's interesting."

Long He and Tie Zhu looked at each other, both a little flustered.

"Come on, tell me, what were you thinking" Fang Jinxiu was also a little puzzled. She had thought Chang He would choose to walk with her.

Tie Zhu said, "Jinxiu's sister-in-law is so capable, she can handle anything wherever she goes. Since Zong Yu isn't home, they must be worried about you as a young lady."

“I am strong and used to do a lot of work in the past.”

Yulian, at least, grew up in the same village as him. In his heart, she was a little girl who needed protection.

He protected this little girl well, and he could also rest assured Zong Yu Ge and Jin Xiu sister-in-law.

Chang He was a little embarrassed, “Actually, I think the same as Tie Zhu Ge, but I’m not as capable as him.”

"Yulian cut in sharply, 'So both of you are only saying you'll follow me to ease my elder brother and sister-in-law's worries'"

"I can't believe how useless you all are!"

Fang Jinxiu laughed so much that she couldn't stop. She decided not to tease them anymore.

"Tie Zhu, go to the shop in Luoshui County with Yu Lian. After all, there are more people there, and there is a lot of work to do. When you go there, Yu Lian can relax a bit."

As soon as she said that, Chang He's head drooped even lower.

"Don't overthink it." She patted Chang He's arm.

"You're still young. When you grow up, you'll be just as capable."

"Chang He, would you be willing to learn the accounts clerk's work"

Song Changhe suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief.

"An accountant In the accounting department" That was something he wouldn't even dare to think about.

"Well, for the accounts over in Lishui, we need someone trustworthy to handle them."

Of course, the shops in Luoshui County are managed by Yulian.

Te Zhu had been hostile to books since he was a child and had no interest in studying.

Song Changhe nodded excitedly, "Sister-in-law, I'm willing!"

"If you're willing, I'll find you a master then, and you can learn properly."

"You two go back and tidy up first. We'll set off after the arrangements on that side are made, it should be within three to five days."

After Tie Zhu and Chang He left, Fang Jinxiu immediately stood up and instructed Xiao Yue.

"I'm taking Yulian to the county for a few days, so you need to look after things at home."

Xiao Yue became the head housekeeper of Jinshiu Mountain Villa. She was steady and reliable in her work, and almost no one in the family opposed her taking on this position.

Fang Jinshu only cared for things outside the home; almost all the chores big and small were handled by Xiaoyue when she was away.

"Yes."

Before leaving, Fang Jinshi naturally wanted to say hello to Mu Shi as well.

Mu Shi listened, her brows furrowed. "Jinxiu, you've only been back for two days, why do you want to go out again"

"We're not short on food and drink now, don't overwork yourself, mother is afraid you won't be able to handle it."

"Why don't you wait for A-Yu to come back before setting up this food stall"

Fang Jinshu shook her head, a pang of discomfort rising in her heart.

Zongyu's mission was extremely dangerous. Whenever she relaxed at home, her mind would be filled with images of him fighting those vicious foreign spies on the mountain.

Although Fang Jinshu knew all of this was just her fantasy and might not come true, she couldn't control her own brain and couldn't stop worrying.

The only way to feel better is to keep yourself busy, filling your life with activities and tiring yourself out so that you don't have time to think about these things.

"Mother, selling vegetables in winter is a very profitable business. There's no such opportunity after this village, and perhaps next year the drought will end. Then all these vegetables we've stored won't be worth much."

This is like Heaven sending money right to our doorstep, we can't just let it go to waste, can we

If next year's drought really ends, I was thinking of sending Zong Bai to the county school to study. Studying in the county costs a lot of money, and there will be many expenses in the future.

"So I have to quickly set up this stall and make some money first."

If Fang Jinshui wants to persuade someone, he must be well-prepared and leave no room for the other party to refute.

Anyway, Mu knew she couldn't argue with her daughter-in-law, but she was worried that her health would be strained.er."I'm really fine, back then I wouldn't have been able to pull this much wood at all. These days of digging ditches, I've gradually gotten used to the changes in my physical strength. I'm confident...
