Chapter 100: Wanting to Build a House

ly.In the evening, Zongyu salted the remaining snake meat with coarse salt and hung it up to dry for tomorrow. This way, it could be stored for a longer time and would not spoil.Fang Jinshu packed the...Fang Jinxiu was speechless, gazing at the sky. Actually, she really wanted to show a look of gritted teeth and utter hatred for the other party.

Alas, her grievance with Zong Yu Lian was not deep enough, nor had it reached that level.

Even if the words became unpleasant, spoken repeatedly they would transform into advice, and she had no choice but to accept it.

She wasn't naturally good at being harsh.

"You, you... don't try that with me." Zong Yulian stammered.

"My mother and my elder brother and second brother, they only have you in their hearts now. Who else would care about my life or death" This girl is stubborn, but she's only fifteen years old after all.

As soon as I said two sentences, the grievances in my heart couldn't be suppressed anymore.

Su Yusheng stepped forward and pulled open Zong Yulian.

"Are you two done with your act"

Fang Jinshui pretended not to understand, "What play are you putting on I don't understand what you're saying."

He snorted coldly, "Bai Lingzhi and Zong Yulian, I'll give you three days to think about it carefully. "

"As soon as the three days were up, I immediately took her away."

I tell you, my men are guarding outside the mountain. Fang Jinxiu, you better not refuse to drink or you'll be punished.

"Give up the Bai Lingzhi obediently!"

Zong Yulian desperately tried to shake off Su Yusheng's grip, but this time, Su Yusheng held on particularly tightly. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.

"Don't be delusional, there's no way this woman would trade such valuable herbs for me."

I advise you to give up on this.

Su Yusheng let out a cold snort, "If she hadn't brought Bai Lingzhi to exchange for you, do you know what would have happened to you"

After he finished speaking, he pulled Zong Yulian back.

After the two left, Jinxiu's carefree expression on her face disappeared.

In the evening, Zong Yu and his younger brother returned home after a busy day. As a result of their hard work, they didn't have time to do anything before it got dark.

People only found the location of the water source, made a mark and then all went down the mountain. Staying in the mountains at night was too dangerous.

On the way back, Zongyu took advantage of everyone else heading down the mountain first and, with Zongbei, turned back to the place where they had encountered the wolf pack earlier.

Wolf meat cannot be stored at high temperatures, it begins to rot within two days.

Zong Yu had never intended to eat wolf meat. Wolf meat was tougher and less tasty than other wild animal meats, but the wolfskin and bones were valuable treasures.

He went back to skin and bone the wolves. He was too busy looking for people before to deal with them, so he found a hidden cave and put all the dead wolves in it.

Zong Bai, smelling the stench, covered his nose and refused to let go.

"Bro, this stinks so bad, can the wolf skin still be used"

But Zongyu seemed not to smell this foul odor. He bent down, dug open the hole in the ground, and carefully brought out everything hidden inside.

"No one in town would probably take these wolf skins and bones."

"Take these to the county town, you should still be able to exchange them for some silver."

As long as it is valuable, reputation will not be discarded.

His room was stiflingly hot. He himself lived in it and didn't find it unbearable. Having lived like this for so many years, his skin thick and tough, he had long since gotten used to it.

But now he wasn't the only one sleeping in there.

Fang Jinxiu has been staying at her family's home these days. Except for the night she stayed up late and slept really soundly because she was too tired, she hasn't slept well on other nights.

At night, I always toss and turn, constantly fanning myself with my hands.

She must have slept very uncomfortably.

Zongyu wanted to save up enough money to build a new house. He imagined a house where he could open the windows in summer for a cool breeze and close them tightly in winter to stay warm.

The houses in the city are almost all like this, and they are very comfortable to live in.

It's just that building this kind of house costs a lot, and he doesn't have a single silver coin in his hand.

He felt that luck played a big part in him being able to hunt wild boar and rabbits last time. He was afraid it would be difficult to hunt such valuable and large prey again next time.

Zong Bai watched his older brother, fearless of dirt, squat on the ground cleaning up the wolf pelts and bones. If he didn't help his brother, he'd have to work until nightfall alone.

He gritted his teeth, lowered his hand that was covering his nose, and endured the stench that could knock him unconscious to help Zong Yu clean up.

When the two returned home, it was already completely dark.

Fāng Jǐnxiù and the Mǔ family had lit oil lamps in the house, waiting for the two brothers to come back after dinner.

As soon as there was any movement at the door, Fang Jinshu immediately came out from inside.

"You're finally back, what took you so long"nce, Fang Jinshu displayed a completely fearless demeanor.He wasn't afraid of the old patriarch's black face at all."When did I ever play you" she said innocently.The elder patriarch retracted his han...
