Chapter 598: The Last Trip into the Mountains in Winter

g three hundred taels of silver notes, Fang Jinxiu stretched out his hand and before giving them away, he asked."Do you keep your word"Fang Jinxiu pinched the other end of the silver note and pulled i...The Zong family enjoyed a rare period of peace.

After moving into the manor, everyone had their own courtyard.

Mu and Yulian lived in the same courtyard. Fang Jinshu naturally moved into the main courtyard with Zong Yu. She had originally planned to give the main courtyard to her mother-in-law, Mu, but Mu refused absolutely.

Since she is now the head of the family, it's natural for her to live with Ah Yu in the main courtyard.

Fang Jinxiu didn't argue much either, after all, every courtyard was designed to be quite comfortable and equipped with everything you could need.

The main building is just a bit bigger, and it has an additional guest hall.

Zong Bai lived alone in a courtyard. Dong’er originally had her own courtyard, but considering that she was still young and often stuck to Mu Shi, they decided to leave Dong’er's courtyard empty for now.

He is temporarily staying with the Mu family, and will move out when he is older.

Xiaoyue and her friends each had their own private rooms, although they weren't detached houses. The rooms were well-appointed, and the three of them were delighted when they saw them.

Little Grass didn't want to be separated from her sister, so she didn't arrange a separate courtyard for her. The main hall had many rooms, so Little Grass just picked one at random to live in.

In order not to bother her elder sister and brother-in-law, she specially chose a room that was a little bit farther from the master bedroom.

Little Grass knew deep down that she would always be an outsider.

She was different from Yu Lian, she wasn't a young lady in this family.

When the Zong family first moved into their new home, they were a bit flustered. After all, moving into such a large house and seeing the bright windows and beautifully landscaped courtyard was quite an adjustment for them.

Luckily, the villa was big enough and there were a lot of things to tidy up, so everyone got used to it while busy.

Winter's arrival also meant the New Year was coming. Fang Jinshi specifically asked Li Dashi's family if they wanted to go back to Luoshui County to celebrate the New Year.

Uncle Li chose to stay.

As long as the family is together, anywhere can be home, you don't necessarily have to go back.

As for the people who came to work at Fangjia Village, many of them chose to return to their villages. Those who didn't want to return, Fang Jinshu didn't force them either. After all, the manor was so large that there were always many chores to do every day.

These things always have to be done by someone.

But she still paid for all of them, regardless.

After the spring, these people from Fangjia Village will return, as the manor is not yet finished.

On the day they went into the mountains to hunt, Zong Yu and Fang Jinshi couldn't stand Zong Bai and Yu Lian's nagging any longer.

These two little rascals are now sly and cunning, trying to trick Master Zongyu into taking them up the mountain.

Fāng Jǐnxiù was truly driven to her wit's end by this, so she had no choice but to nod.

He was unwilling to go against his daughter-in-law and also didn't want her to be constantly bothered by his sister, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Zong Bai wasn't unfamiliar with venturing into the mountains with him, so he wasn't too worried about his younger brother, Zong Yu.

It's just that I'm worried about Yu Lian.

Jade Lotus patted her chest and assured, “Big Brother, you can rest assured, I will definitely stay by Sister-in-law’s side, never leaving her side, absolutely, absolutely won’t run around. I swear to the heavens!”

Zhang Bai joked from the side, "Sticking by her side every step of the way Don't you need to go help your sister-in-law gather medicine If you're sticking by her side every step of the way, how will you be able to gather any"

"That sounds like nonsense, big brother. Don't believe her and don't let Yulian follow."

Yulian's cheeks puffed out with anger.

"Second Brother, shut your mouth! Will you die if you say a few less words"

Seeing that the siblings were about to fight again, Fang Jinshu hurriedly stood between them.

"Enough."

"If you want to go into the mountains any further, just shut up. One more complaint and none of you will be going."

This trick really worked, the two of them obediently shut their mouths and each stood beside Zong Yu and Fang Jinxiu.

Mu said from behind them, "Be careful when you go into the mountains."

"Still the same, better to leave early and return early."

"Mother will be waiting for you at home."

Four people turned back and nodded toward Mu's family.

"Mother, please rest assured, we will be back soon."

Since this was the last time they were going into the mountains before winter, Fang Jinshu and Zong Yu certainly didn't plan on coming back too early.

They also told the Mu family that if they were lucky, they would be back in three or five days. If they weren't lucky, it might take ten days or so.

After all, the game and herbs in the mountains are not as easy to find as they used to be.

Fang Jinshiu had ample space, so they weren't short of anything this time they went into the mountains. They wouldn't even have to worry about bringing back too much game or herbs.

After finishing all these trivial matters, the four of them set off lightly into the mountains.

Mu stood at the entrance of the villa and looked for a long time, until she could no longer see the figures of her children, then she turned around with a downcast expression and prepared to close the door and return home.

Just then, the voice of Village Head Wang suddenly came from a distance.

"Sister, sister, don't close the door first!" and ambition in this person, utterly unrestrained.Although Zhao Xingzhou is the youngest son of the Zhao family, his ambition is no less than that of his older brothers, but he knows how to hide it.T...
