Chapter 261: Don't Believe This Evil

ing. The women in the village were all rough and dirty now, their faces covered in grime – practically a different color altogether. Thankfully, her sister-in-law had found a way to make sure there wa...Fang Jinshu packed the water pouch for him and after a moment of thought, she asked, "If we manage to catch prey, could we try to keep them alive"

She wasn't sure if Zongyu had time to grab it. Digging a canal was hard work anyway.

Moreover, the irrigation ditch was dug closer and closer to the foot of the mountain, making prey scarce. It's also unlikely Zongyu would encounter any game there.

"I was just saying, if you can catch it, that's great. If not, it doesn't matter. You don't have to go out of your way to catch it."

Zongyu nodded to show he understood, then went out the door.

Meanwhile, the two who chose to leave Chunlan's house, Chunlan and Qiujing, also went to Wang Village Head's house that night.

Although Chunlan had a falling out with Fang Jinshu and left her house angrily, she showed no emotion whatsoever when she saw Wang, the village head.

Her words, though seemingly casual, hinted that she was being looked after by Fang Jinshu.

The village head Wang was simple and kind. Hearing that it was Zong Yu's wife who asked him to arrange accommodation in the village, he readily helped them find a place to stay overnight.

It was an abandoned old house that had been empty for many years. Although dilapidated, it at least had a roof and walls, so the two of them wouldn't have to sleep on the streets.

And Mayor Wang also considered that both were women, living alone here would probably be inconvenient and unsafe. So he asked his son Tiezhu to come over and help repair the house overnight.

Tie Zhu had no choice. Just like his father, upon hearing that these two girls were being looked after by Jin Xiu's sister-in-law, he readily agreed to do the work without hesitation.

Didn't sleep all night.

Finally, I patched up all the holes in Chunlan and Qiujing's place.

At least it wouldn't let people get in easily, the wooden door was replaced with a new one.

The next morning, Tiezhu came before Zongyu with two dark circles under his eyes, which startled him.

"Iron Column Brothers, were you out robbing at night"

Tie Zhu scratched his head, his mind still a bit muddled.

“Huh Wasn't it Jinxiu Sister-in-law who asked us for help”

Zongyu was also dumbfounded, when did Jinxiu entrust them to help

What does it have to do with him not sleeping all night

Tie Zhu was so trapped that he couldn't even open his eyes. Village Chief Wang urged everyone to leave quickly, and the matter just went over in a muddled and unclear way.

During the day, Chunlan and Qiujie, busy in their new home, tidied up inside and out and did a little decorating.

Chunlan disliked this place very much, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

She thought the Wang village chief's family was quite easy to get along with, at least more so than Fang Jinshu.

Being easy to talk to doesn't necessarily mean being easy to control.

She planned to start with the village head's house, gradually improving their lives.

Last night, Wang Tiezhu, the village head's son, was so attentive and caring towards the two of them, helping to repair their house all night. Chunlan felt that this boy must have taken a liking to one of them.

He must have taken a liking to her.

Chunlan felt a bit disdain in her heart. If it had been before, she wouldn't even bother talking to such a man.

Now I have to fawn over such a lowly peasant just to survive.

She was certain that Tiezhu would definitely come over in the morning to bring them food. Of course, her daughter's family had to be reserved.

Even if she wanted to get closer to Wang Tiezhu, she couldn't rush over and fawn over him. A woman who is too proactive is the least valuable.

Chunlan stubbornly sat in her new home until noon, while Qiujie's stomach was growling with hunger.

"Come on, Chulan," he said, tugging at her arm. "Shouldn't we go find some food I'm starving! Aren't you hungry"

Autumn Chrysanthemum felt strange. She woke up in the morning and wanted to go out looking for food, but Spring Orchid refused, saying that someone would bring them food later.

Autumn Chrysanthemum thought it was unlikely. Who would give away food that wasn't stored at home, like a treasure They wouldn't send it to them.

Could it be that Sister Jinxiu is going to send them food!

Autumn Chrysanthemum recalled the delicious meal she had at Sister Jinxiu's house last night, and couldn't help but lick her lips, her mouth watering.

But after waiting the whole morning, not to mention getting anything to eat, there wasn't even a single person in sight in front of their two doors.

Chulan didn't believe this, and she still found excuses for Tiezhu.

She thought that he must be tired after working all night, definitely asleep. She'd just wait a little longer.

If she could get into the village head's house, she wouldn't have to worry about food and drink in the village.

Her status will be even more enviable. I'll see if she still dares to speak to me in that condescending tone then.ister-in-law, just a few vegetables were lost in the vegetable patch. Maybe some animals from the mountains stole them while we were asleep at night. It wasn't much, and I don't think it would make mu...
