t want to argue with Zongyu and make her angry, even though they would kiss after an argument, it just felt weird.Zongyu's expression was a bit frustrated."I, I, I'm sorry.""You're saying that I owe y...By the late hours, they had finally finished stuffing all the sausages, except for Zong Yu. Zong Bai and Jade Lotus couldn't stop yawning.

"You two go to sleep now, I'll take care of the rest."

"I can catch up on my sleep during the day."

Upon hearing this, Zong Bai obediently nodded. "Alright, elder sister-in-law, let's go to sleep first."

After the two left, Fang Jinshu's gaze turned to Zong Yu.

"You should go to sleep too. I'll tidy up here and then head back to my room."

Zongyu sat under the hearth, tending the fire. The sausages he had prepared needed to be cooked before they could be hung up to dry. He shook his head.

"It's fine, it doesn't make much difference whether it's done sooner or later." He had a clear look of fatigue on his face.

To get back home from the county early, he had hardly slept for a day and night, fearing his family would be worried.

I didn't expect to get so tired that I lost my way in the mountains. This caused me to be delayed all night.

But this time, taking the wrong path turned out to be a blessing in disguise. He discovered a huge treasure. Zongyu felt that his daughter-in-law would definitely love that place, so he took some extra time to cover up the entrance of the cave.

Lately, people in the village have been running up the mountain every day. That place isn't far from the water source, and Zongyu doesn't want others to find out.

Fāng Jǐnxiù tried her best to persuade him, but he wouldn't budge. She could only speed up the process of cooking sausages.

Only after all the sausages were strung up on bamboo poles did Zong Yu confidently step out of the kitchen.

She thought that Zongyu was so persistent in waiting for her, tonight he was going back to his room to sleep, right They had been apart for several nights and she still felt a little nervous.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door of his room, Zong Yu stopped again.

"Wife, after the water channel is dug, I'll take you somewhere."

He had been keeping in mind Fang Jinshu's wish to take a good bath. He originally planned to take her to the county town after the water channel was dug, this time to go to the county town to help Fang Jinshu get rid of her slave status, he even inquired about the price of bathing at the county town bathhouse.

The county town is also short of water, but the situation is slightly better than here.

The bathhouse has closed, but if you're willing to pay double the price, you can take a private bath in a room at the inn.

Zong Yu sold all the wolf bones and pelts he had saved, exchanging them for four taels and three ounces of silver in his pocket.

Before he discovered the cave, he had set aside the last three coins, intending to use them as expenses for his next bath with Fang Jinshu.

Now you don't have to hide anymore.

After finishing his words, he took out all the silver from his pocket and handed it to Fang Jinshu.

"Where did you get the silver from" Fang Jinshu was a little surprised.

Zong Yu still didn't know that Fang Jinxiu already knew about his encounter with the wolf pack with Zong Bai, but he was always bad at lying.

"I picked up some things in the mountains and sold them in the county town."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jinshu snorted.

"Last time you got a scratch on your arm, wasn't it because you were picking up these things"

Zongyu was taken aback. What did his wife mean by that Did she know something

"Don't lie to me, Zong Bai already told me everything."

"I know you're afraid to tell me about the dangerous things you do because you think it will worry me, but we're family. It's impossible to only share good news and never bad."

"Unless you don't intend to treat me as family at all, and when I get hurt or in danger, you don't plan on telling me anything."

"I'm just an outsider, aren't I"

As soon as this topic came up, Fang Jinxiu became a little angry. Zong Yu had such a sullen personality that he wouldn't intentionally hide things unless it was a happy occasion.

Whenever there's danger, whether it happens or not, this person always likes to take it upon themselves.

Fan Jinshu likes to shoulder things with two people, rather than being protected unilaterally. This makes her feel like a burden and a nuisance.

She doesn't like it this way.

Seeing his wife angry, Zongyu hurried two steps forward.

"No."

"I don't think so."

He was extremely anxious but couldn't find the right words to express himself. Words just wouldn't come out smoothly when he tried to speak.

The more anxious you get, the harder it is to speak.

Fang Jinxiu, seeing this, held back her softened heart and maintained a serious expression. She absolutely had to correct Zong Yu's bad habit of shouldering everything himself.

"So what do you think Do you feel like the pillar of the family, responsible for everything That you have to endure all pain and hurt Is our worry about you just superfluous"

This man won't feel sorry for himself, so she'll have to feel sorry for him. Zong Bai hid aside, stealing glances and practically idolizing Fang Jinxiu."Your sister-in-law is amazing, even tigers listen to her." Zong Bai exclaimed."Well, Xiaohua is pretty friendly to me usual...
