Chapter 172 She Comes to Distress
In the middle of the night, they finally drank all the sausages. Except for Zong Yu, Zong Bai and Yu Lian couldn't stop yawning.

"You two go to bed quickly, I will take care of the rest."

"I'm sleepy during the day and I can still catch up on my sleep."

Zong Bai nodded obediently, "Okay, sister-in-law, let's go to bed first."

After the two left, Fang Jinxiu turned to Zong Yu.

"You go to sleep too. I'll clean up here and go back to the house."

Zong Yu sat under the stove and made a fire. The filled sausages had to be cooked before they could be dried. He shook his head.

"It's okay, it's just as good as this." There was obvious fatigue on his face.

In order to return from the county seat early, he stayed up almost all day and night, fearing that his family would be worried.

Unexpectedly, I was so tired that I took a wrong path in the mountains, which delayed me all night.

But this time he took the wrong path, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Zong Yu thought that his wife would definitely like that place, so he spent more time covering the entrance of the cave.

Recently, people in the village have been running to the mountains every day. The water source in that place is not far away, and Zong Yu doesn't want others to find out.

Fang Jinxiu couldn't persuade him no matter how hard she tried, so she had to cook the sausage faster.

Zong Yu only walked out of the kitchen after all the sausages were hung on bamboo poles.

She thought that Zong Yu was waiting for her so persistently and planned to go back to the room to sleep tonight. She was still a little nervous after being separated for a few nights.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door of the room, Zong Yu stopped moving again.

"Daughter-in-law, after the ditch is dug, I will take you to a place."

He had been thinking about Fang Jinxiu saying that he wanted to take a good bath. He originally planned to take her to the county town after the ditch was dug. This time he went to remove Fang Jinxiu from slavery. He also inquired about the price of bathing in the county town bathhouse.

The county is also short of water, but the situation is slightly better than here.

The bathhouse is closed, but if you are willing to spend twice as much, you can go to the inn and get a separate room to take a bath.

Zong Yu sold all the wolf bones and wolf skins he had saved, and put four or three coins in his pocket.

Before discovering the cave, he kept a small amount of three coins alone, intending to use it as a cost for taking Fang Jinxiu to take a bath next time.

No need to hide now.

After speaking, he took out all the money in his pocket and handed it to Fang Jinxiu.

"Where did you get the money?" Fang Jinxiu was a little surprised.Zong Yu didn't know that Fang Jinxiu already knew about him and Zong Bai's encounter with the wolves, but he was always not good at lying.

"I picked up some things in the mountains and sold them on the way to the county town."

Fang Jinxiu snorted when he heard it.

"The scratch on your arm last time was from picking up these things, right?"

Zong Yu was stunned, what did his wife mean by saying this?Does she know something?

"Don't hide it from me. That boy Zong Bai told me everything."

"I know you are afraid that letting me know that you have done something dangerous will make me worried, but we are a family, and we cannot always report good things and bad things."

"Unless you have no intention of treating me as a family member at all, and if you are injured or in danger, you have no intention of telling me anything."

"I'm just an outsider."

Fang Jinxiu became a little angry when this matter was mentioned. Zong Yu's boring temperament meant that happy events were fine, and he usually wouldn't hide them deliberately.

As long as there is danger, no matter whether it happens or not, this person always likes to take the responsibility himself.

Fang Jinxiu likes to have two people take care of things together, instead of her being protected unilaterally, which would make her feel like a burden and burden.

She doesn't like it.

Seeing that his wife was angry, Zong Yu took two steps forward in a hurry.

"No."

"I didn't think so."

He was extremely anxious but didn't know how to express what he meant, and the words just didn't come out smoothly.

The more anxious I am, the less I can say anything.

When Fang Jinxiu saw this, she suppressed her softness and remained serious. She must correct Zong Yu's bad habit of doing everything by himself.

"Then what do you think? You feel that you are the backbone of the family and you should bear everything. You have to endure the pain. It is unnecessary for us to worry about you, right?"

This man doesn't feel sorry for himself, so let her feel sorry for him.
