Chapter 401: Were You Robbed by Bandits?

w crack at everything happening at the courtyard gate.Hearing Fang Jinxiu force him to appear, Fang Jianren angrily muttered under his breath."This dead girl, really thinks that after getting married...By noon, Fang Jinxiu was quite tired from shopping. She found a deserted spot and put all the big items into her spatial storage. The smaller, more portable ones she packed into her satchel.

She asked Tie Zhu to send some of the things they bought first to Li's house, and then after they finished buying everything, they would rent a car to bring it all back together.

The two found a place to sit and rest. Fang Jinshu still wondered, "Why didn't Zhao Xiaojiu come to find me today"

"Could something have really happened"

Zong Yu's expression was cold and indifferent, he didn't care at all.

In the afternoon, the two went to the grocery store to check the price of rice and noodles in Luoshui City. Unexpectedly, the prices didn't increase that much.

Back then in Heitu Town, the price of food skyrocketed dozens of times within just a few days, which was astonishing. The common people simply couldn't afford it.

In the end, even with money, there was nowhere to buy grain, allowing those grain merchants to make a hefty profit. It was all the sweat and blood of the common people.

This is all thanks to the fact that Luoshui City has a good official.

Fang Jinshi with a wave of her hand, directly emptied three grain stores. She not only swept away all the rice and noodles inside, but also sold out all the miscellaneous grains.

This was still considering that her space only had ten square meters, and she decided to stop in the limited space.

If the space were a little bigger, Luo Shui City's thirteen grain stores would have to be emptied by at least five just to keep their large family safe and fed through the winter.

Now there are also livestock.

She later went to the county magistrate again to inquire about the approximate cost of buying and selling deserted mountains. The other party gave her a rough figure, and even after measuring the area, the price fluctuation would be around three or four hundred taels at most.

Given that Fang Jinshi bought the mountain head for the livelihoods of the entire village, the county magistrate even gave her a discount.

Normally, the price of mountain land is about 200 wen less than that of an acre of wasteland. Adding to this, the drought and the hardship of the times, the county magistrate also sympathizes with Fang Jinxiu's difficulties in developing mountain land.

The final price was five hundred wen per mu, for a total of one thousand mu. This saved her three hundred taels of silver, which was enough to buy seeds to plant half a mountain.

Not until her ten-square-meter space was crammed full did Fang Jinshu let up.

The couple returned to the Li residence, and since the previous quack doctor had cheated them out of their silver, Zhao Xingzhou took charge and returned it.

The Li family couple is now incredibly grateful. Li Muhai has no objections to Fang Jinxiu anymore, and even has a somewhat fawning attitude towards her.

Li Daniu shook her head and told Fang Jinshi not to bother with her husband.

Fang Jinshi certainly didn't mind. Although Li Muhai had some influence, he was quite skilled at building houses.

Li Yuanchun's body recovered rapidly within just a few days, and he was able to get out of bed and move around. He had originally suffered from liver poisoning due to taking the wrong medicine; as long as the poison was removed and his body was properly recuperated for a few days, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

Fang Jinshi wanted to negotiate a business deal with the Li family. Calculating the time, Su Yusheng's merchant caravan should have arrived as well.

Time flies, autumn is here in a blink of an eye. Although it hasn't rained yet, when it comes time for snow, nature will definitely deliver.

And the house she planned to renovate was definitely more than just a few rooms.

If you're going to build something, build the best one right from the start.

Since the matter with the deserted mountains was resolved, after returning to the village, she would focus on organizing people to clear land and plant crops. These tasks could be left to Zong Yu later, as she earnestly set about building their new home.

On the way back, Fang Jinshu also mentioned this to Zong Yu. Zong Yu always had no opinion on his daughter-in-law's decisions, only occasionally giving some advice.

As the two walked and talked all the way to Li's house, they suddenly discovered that there was an unfamiliar large carriage outside the door, a sight completely out of place in this narrow alley.

Zhao Xingzhou heard the sound of two people talking in the car, so he lifted the curtain and got out.

Fang Jinshu was slightly taken aback by his appearance.

He had bruises under his eyes and a split lip. He looked like he'd just finished a brawl with a hundred or so people.

"You, you were robbed by bandits"

How come you look so disheveled

Zhao Xingzhou pursed his lips, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

They tried to rob me, but they failed.

The Zhao family, everyone now wants to kill him, including his own father., you obediently marry into our family and become betrothed to my younger sister, and promise to treat her well for the rest of your life."I'm counting to ten, if you don't make a choice by then, I'll...
