Chapter 164
After dinner, Zong Yu had been worried about Laozhai asking for money. Mu took advantage of her daughter-in-law not paying attention and pulled her eldest son into the room.

Fang Jinxiu was preparing medicine for Su Yusheng outside and didn't pay attention to what was happening on their side for a while.

Mu rummaged through the bag for a long time and took out a small box.

When I opened it, I found a pair of silver earrings. They looked old, and the surface had been polished very brightly.

Mu touched it with some reluctance, then handed it over to Zong Yu.

"Mom, why did you take this out?"

"This is the only relic left by grandma to you."

Mu Shi put aside her reluctance and turned to look worried.

"It was my idea to ask people from the village to help find you on the mountain, and it has nothing to do with Jinxiu."

"I can't bear to see Zong Hu, a kid with a crippled arm. I know you guys don't have that much money on hand. This is the only thing I can spare."

"It's silver anyway, so it's worth something."

"You take it, if it's not enough, let's think of something else."

In Mu's heart, she had long regarded Fang Jinxiu as a family member, and they would naturally admit to each other when things happened.

She already felt that she was very sorry for her daughter-in-law. She couldn't give her anything without saying anything, and she still needed her daughter-in-law to stand up for her all day long when her family was worried.

Zong Yu pushed the thing back.

"Mom, Jinxiu won't want it."

"Leave it to us to think of a way to deal with the money. Don't worry about it."

Mu suddenly glared at her son with a straight face.

"What do you mean I should leave it alone? Your grandparents want four to fifty taels of silver in compensation. Even if they buy the wild boar this time, they won't be able to get so much money, right?"

"In order to stand up for us, Jinxiu has already offended your grandparents and aunt and uncle."

"If you come to visit tomorrow, if you can't give me any money, they don't know how they will humiliate Jinxiu."

"You are not willing to see your daughter-in-law being scolded, but I am not willing to let my daughter-in-law be wronged."

When Fang Jinxiu saw Zong Yu's absence, she prepared the medicine and sent Su Yusheng away. She was about to come to him to discuss Zong Hu's matter.

But I heard these words while standing outside the door of my mother-in-law's room.

Zong Yu frowned, "This is grandma's only relic. The style has long been out of date. Even if it's made of silver, it's not worth much."

"If Jinxiu knows about this, she won't take it even if you give it to her." "I will definitely protect my own wife well and never let her suffer any injustice. Anyone who dares to scold her will be beaten. Until he dared not speak.”

Fang Jinxiu shook her head and laughed outside, but her heart felt extremely warm.

The whole family is so stupid, no wonder they are always bullied by the people in the old house.

If Zong Yu really knew how to use violence at will, the old man would not hide as far away as he could when he saw him. How could he dare to be as arrogant as he is now.

"Besides, I think with Jinxiu's temperament, she wouldn't take advantage of someone from the old house."

"What do you mean?" Mu asked.

"I always feel like she has other plans. Although she hasn't been in our house for a long time, when have you ever seen her suffer in front of her grandparents and uncles?"

After listening to her son's words, Mrs. Mu nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems so."

Fang Jinxiu's mouth curled up outside the door. Her man and she had quite a rapport.

They already know her temperament so well.

She turned around and walked out. There was no need to go in and disturb their mother-son conversation, and she really didn't want anything from her mother-in-law's hands.

After a while, Zong Yu came out of the house and immediately looked around for Fang Jinxiu in the yard.

Hearing the chatter and laughter coming from the kitchen, he walked in.

"Haha, sister-in-law, are you serious?"

"Is it really delicious if pork is wrapped in glutinous rice? This is the first time I've heard of eating it this way."

Fang Jinxiu's voice sounded cheerfully, "Of course it's delicious. Why are you kidding me?"

"Take two or three clean reed leaves and fill them with white glutinous rice. If you like sweet food, use pure glutinous rice filling."

"If you like something salty, add marinated pork belly and duck egg yolk to the glutinous rice, wrap it in reed leaves and tie it tightly with a rope. This kind of food is called zongzi."

"In my hometown, every May on a special day, we would make rice dumplings and eat them."

"It's delicious."

Zong Yu stood at the door and silently wrote down these words.

"Hey, brother, my sister-in-law is still looking for you everywhere. Where have you been?"
