a shame.At this moment, no one dared to speak the truth. Zongbei wasn't stupid; he could see through their forced smiles and knew they were secretly calling his elder brother a vicious criminal in the...Zong Yu glanced out the door. He knew his younger sister's temperament better than anyone else.

"Don't worry about her, she knows our neighborhood streets better than anyone, nothing will happen."

"This temperament, if not changed, will sooner or later bring disaster."

Zong Bai nodded, feeling that what his elder brother said was also right.

"My younger sister's personality is a bit too arrogant. I can't help but feel that she doesn't like my elder sister-in-law very much."

"My sister-in-law has only been at our house for a couple of days, and I haven't spoken to her much. I don't think I've offended her."

Zong Yu changed the subject, "If she doesn't come back by then, we can look again."

Zong Bai smiled, "Big brother, you're just tough-talking, but you still care about your little sister."

He ignored his younger brother and walked into the kitchen to start making medicine for Mrs. Mu, taking the opportunity to sort through the oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, grain, and other supplies he had brought back.

The two brothers were busy cooking dinner.

Even when simply stir-frying wild vegetables, the flavor is much richer now that we have ample supplies of grain, oil, and condiments.

Fang Jinxiu had slept for over two hours and finally woke up. It was already dark, but she could see a light shining through.

Zhong Yu heard a slight movement inside the room, nothing escaped his ears. He entered with an oil lamp in hand.

This oil lamp was also something Fang Jinshi insisted on buying today.

It's not convenient to just stumble around in the dark at night, is it

The oil lamp was expensive, but she still gritted her teeth and bought it.

Anyway, she'll be able to earn money in the future.

"You're awake."

The dim light cast on Zong Yu's resolute face, concealing much of the ferocity in his eyes, making him appear exceptionally gentle.

Fang Jinxiu sheepishly sat up.

"I, I... Did I sleep for a long time"

She's so useless, she fell asleep after just climbing a mountain.

It seems like from tomorrow onwards, I really need to put my fitness plan on the agenda. My stamina is so poor, it's simply unacceptable. I can't keep dragging Zongyu down.

The man seemed not to care, putting the oil lamp on the stool at the head of the bed.

"Haven't you gotten hungry yet"

Fang Jinxiu thought to herself that she had come back and fallen asleep without doing anything, so she was too embarrassed to say she was hungry.

It's okay to skip a dinner, it saves everyone the trouble.

"Not hungry."

She had only just finished speaking when her stomach, as if with a mind of its own, seemed to rebel and let out a loud growl, leaving her feeling incredibly embarrassed.

He clutched his stomach, his face slightly flushed.

I was too embarrassed to meet his gaze.

"Wait for me a moment."

Zong Yu didn't laugh at her, he just silently walked out. Fang Jinxiu stretched her neck to look outside the door.

In a short while, he came back carrying two bowls. He set up a small wooden table on the bed and pushed the bowls in front of her, lifting the covers to reveal their contents.

Fang Jinshi had smelled the aroma of meat for a long time, and saliva had already secreted a lot in her mouth.

But she was embarrassed to lose face in front of Zong Yu, so she gritted her teeth and waited for him to speak.

"Knowing you'd be hungry, I left some for you."

"Eat."

The man carefully wiped the chopsticks dry and offered them to her.

Before she saw the food, she felt her hunger could be endured. But now the aroma of the dishes drifted straight into her nose, and she couldn't help herself any longer.

He quickly said thanks, then grabbed his chopsticks and started eating.

Two bites into the rice and he was choked by a grain.

"Ahem!"

Zongyu smirked and sat down at the edge of the bed, gently patting her back.

"Eat slowly, and here's this too."

He silently took out his waterskin and passed it over.

Fang Jinshui immediately recognized that this was the clear water they had bought back from the restaurant today.

She stifled the itch in her throat and pushed away with her hand.

"Look, I spent dozens of coins just to buy this little bit of water. I've already drunk a lot on the way."

I can't drink it all by myself.

"Mother is a patient, drinking clean water helps the body recover."

She looked at the water Zongyu brought back from outside, and found that the water quality was very poor. There should be many things harmful to human body inside.

However, it's not impossible to solve. If you filter it twice and boil it again, there shouldn't be any problems.

Even with a constitution as strong as his, Zongyu's health would eventually suffer from drinking such murky water.f, Yulian snarled."Don't call me! I don't want the sister-in-law to misunderstand that there's something between us, causing trouble."Everyone had left, leaving only Hu Ai-lan kneeling alone in the ma...
