Chapter 142
After Fang Jinxiu returned to the house, she entered the space and disinfected the wound with spiritual spring water before applying medicine and bandaging it again.

She sat blankly on this square of grass, feeling a little depressed.

Zong Yu actually ignored her.

She returned to bed at night, her eyes still wet when she fell asleep.

A tall figure opened the door and came to her bedside gently. He hesitated but raised his hand to wipe the tears from her eyes.

Zong Yu sighed inaudibly, fearing that it would hurt Fang Jinxiu's delicate skin with his rough palms, he just placed them on her hair and rubbed it back and forth.

Early the next morning, Fang Jinxiu woke up and only saw Mu in the yard.

"Jinxiu is awake. Go wipe your face and have breakfast. It's all in the pot and still hot."

Fang Jinxiu was stunned, "Mom, where is Zong Yu?"

Only then did she realize that her home was extremely quiet.

Zong Yulian heard the conversation between her mother and sister-in-law, and hurriedly leaned out of the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, you're awake."

"The eldest brother and the second brother have gone out a long time ago. They will leave before dawn today."

Fang Jinxiu's eyes flashed with loneliness, "Well, then I'm going to wash my face."

She did a lot of things throughout the day, including weeding the fields and vegetable fields. She took Zong Yulian to the back of the house and found some bamboo shoots, and taught her how to make pickled bamboo shoots.

During this period, Wang Yaner came over with her child in her arms and gave her six pairs of shoe mats, not only in Zongyu's size, but also in hers.

Fang Jinxiu seemed to be communicating with them normally, but in fact, only she knew that something was wrong with her.

It felt like a big stone was falling in my heart, and I couldn't breathe.

Her depressed look caught Mu's eyes. Zong Yulian went out to dig wild vegetables, and Fang Jinxiu was playing with the dried herbs.

"Jinxiu, Mom has something to tell you."

She called people into the house.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

Mu grabbed her hand and asked, "Did you and Zong Yu have a fight?"

Fang Jinxiu shook her head subconsciously, "No."

It's not like they were quarreling.

It's just that Zong Yu unilaterally ignored her. "If that silly boy of mine does something wrong, just tell your mother. If he dares to bully you, your mother will definitely stand by your side and make the decision for you."

"If you are wronged, don't hold it in your heart and tell your mother."

Fang Jinxiu felt much better when she saw her mother-in-law caring about her so anxiously, and she also had a smile on her face.

"Zong Yu didn't bully me."

"Don't worry, I'm just a little tired today."

Mu said quickly, "When you are tired, go back to the house and lie down. I'll tell you that your arm is still injured, so don't be in a hurry to do such rough work."

"Just let Zong Yu take care of the weeds in the medicinal fields and vegetable fields when he comes back in the evening."

Fang Jinxiu smiled, knowing that her mother-in-law had good intentions and wanted to cheer her up.

"Okay, then I'll go back to the house and rest for a while."

Mrs. Mu looked at her daughter-in-law's leaving figure and sighed silently. It seemed that the person who tied the bell needed to be untied.

In the evening, the people who dug ditches in the village went back down the mountain one after another. Zong Yulian watched at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, but only Zong Bai came back.

She looked behind him in surprise.

"Second brother, why are you back alone? Where is the eldest brother?"

Zong Bai leaned the farm tools in his hand against the wall, picked up the cloth towel prepared by his sister and wiped the sweat on his face.

"Big brother said he had something to do, so he separated from me after leaving the house in the morning."

"Is he not back yet?"

Fang Jinxiu walked out of the room with a solemn expression.

"You mean, your eldest brother didn't dig a ditch with you today?"

"He said he had something to do, what was it?"

Seeing that his sister-in-law was so anxious, Zong Bai felt a little ashamed, "Well, I, I didn't ask."

"Brother is always safer than us in doing things. Sister-in-law, don't worry, eldest brother will definitely be back soon."

They are not in the habit of asking their elder brother about things. They usually just ask him to say whatever he is told and they do it.
