Chapter 420: A Huge Secret
le conversations, Zong Pingchuan didn't bother to respond. He remained expressionless and simply hummed or nodded at whatever Yuan Xiangli said.By the time dinner arrived, Zong Pingchuan was famished....That day, Fang Jinxiu was unusually busy. Zong Yu, accompanied by yamen officers, had been measuring the area of the mountaintop all day and hadn't even returned for lunch.
Yamamoto's hill is too big, I estimate it won't be finished in one day.
He also hasn't had time to help Fang Jinshi deal with these household supplies these days.
Little Moon, Jade, Golden Autumn Chrysanthemum, including Bai of Yu Lian Zong, all came to help. The merchant caravan and villagers carried all the boxes filled with supplies into the courtyard.
They are responsible for sorting things, separating food from non-food items.
When Mu saw the first batch of boxes, he was only slightly surprised. Thousands of catties of food, all kinds of grains, rice and beans, just the seeds filled a whole large box.
Although they were surprised, everyone was overjoyed and relieved to see so much food.
This means that in the future, they wouldn't have to worry about going hungry anymore. Even if they worked themselves to the bone until their arms ached, they would still be happy inside.
When the second batch of boxes arrived, Mu's surprise turned into astonishment.
She grabbed a young villager and asked, "How many more boxes are there at the foot of this mountain"
That young man excitedly replied, "Plenty! There are dozens more boxes!"
Mu Shi was stunned upon hearing this, and for a long time, she couldn't recover.
Yulian's eyes shone with admiration, and so did the little girl beside her.
"Sister-in-law is truly amazing, she, she managed to get Su Yusheng to send her so many things."
The food and seeds in the box are all excellent varieties, and there is a particularly rich and complete range of types.
Fan Jinshi's letter to Su Yusheng simply read: "As for seeds, just get as many as you can find on the market and send them over."
He doesn't need to worry about whether he will live or die.
Su Yusheng listened and followed suit. Anyway, she said she could make it grow, so there must be her own way. If it were someone else, Su Yusheng wouldn't necessarily believe it.
As more and more boxes started returning, the Mu family gradually began to struggle. Jade Lotus held a large stack of fabric in her hands, searching the house for space to store it but finding none.
I had no choice but to run back into the yard.
"Mother, there is no more room in the house."
"Sister-in-law, you brought back so much stuff this time. What are we going to do with all the things in these boxes"
Mu frowned and beckoned Zong Bai over, "Go ask Mr. Qin if he can temporarily store the things at his place."
"The rest, let's talk about it when your sister-in-law gets back."
Zong Bai nodded, and just then Zong Hu also returned carrying two boxes, sweating profusely, and happened to hear Mu's words.
"Auntie, I also have some empty space in my house."
"Very good, very good. Take these boxes over there first," Mu quickly nodded in agreement.
Zong Hu carried the box and walked back. Wang Yanne saw him return and was a little surprised, “Isn't your sister-in-law’s family quite busy now”
"How did you get back"
"What's this again"
Jinxiu brought back a lot of things this time, and there's no room at Auntie Er's house. She brought some over to our place.
Wang Yan'er frowned, it wasn't that she was unwilling to let her second aunt put things in their house.
To be honest, lately Liu has been running to the house all the time, and Zong Hu is also hard to refuse. What if his mother-in-law sees Jinxiu's boxes She's afraid these boxes are not safe.
Little Tiger is usually quite well-behaved, but she's not just staying at home watching the kids all day. She goes out to wash clothes and gather firewood sometimes, so there are times when she's not around.
"Did Jinxiu say when she's going to take the box away"
Zong Hu looked at his wife in surprise, "Should I not have agreed to Er Shen's request"
Their house was not big to begin with, but the problem was there were too many boxes. They were crammed together, leaving little space for Swallow and her chicks to move around.
Wang Yan'er quickly shook her head. "I'm not asking because I feel cramped."
"Your mother came over this morning, you know. What if she sees these boxes How can you guarantee she won't go and tell your father and grandparents"
Zong Hu frowned, "Then I'll go ask my sister-in-law later."
No sooner had the two finished speaking than a knock on the door sounded, followed by Liu's voice. The knocking was quite rapid, too.
"Little Tiger, open the door quickly! Mom has something very important to tell you."
Zong Hu frowned, turned around and went out. The moment he opened the door, he only squeezed his body out, then quickly closed the door again.
Make sure nothing in the room is exposed.
"Mother, we didn't cook anything special at home today. In a few days, I'll go hunting in the mountains with Ah Yu, and bring you some meat, how about that"
"Don't come to our house these days."
Lius said angrily, “I’m not here for meat. Mother, I have a huge secret to tell you!”erself to save the child."“I don’t think she’s a strong swimmer. If she jumped in, even if the child was rescued, she would die.”Upon hearing this, Fang Jinshu was first taken aback, a hint of surpris...
