Chapter 361: Listen to You

e other party Jinxiu. She had been treating her with hostility and going against her since Fang Jinxiu entered the house.If that white lingzhi is truly invaluable, how could she possibly use it to exc...Iron Pillar's expression wasn't optimistic, he hesitated, not knowing how to begin.

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid this deal to buy and sell the deserted mountain won't be easy."

Fang Jinxiu's brows furrowed slightly when she heard this, "How could it not be done Uncle Wang didn't say that right now, the drought is severe and the government would love to have someone buy these barren lands and mountains, increasing their income"

Tie Zhu said, "That's right. Usually, if a village or town wanted to buy such a large tract of barren land and mountains, the government would be delighted and would want to immediately send someone to survey the land and draft a deed."

"I had already discussed this with the clerks at the county office who handle these matters. We planned to leave early tomorrow morning and bring them back to the village to measure the land."

"When I came out, I happened to run into the magistrate. He saw that I was a stranger and casually asked me a couple of questions. After I explained my purpose, the magistrate's face suddenly changed."

"Not only did he refuse to let the constables return to my village with me to measure the area of the wasteland, but he also had me thrown out, saying I was not sincere."

"I'm flabbergasted! Buying and selling barren land has always been done this way. Everyone else can do it, so why am I being accused of ill intentions"

"This magistrate is too unreasonable, just kicking me out like that."

"I followed my sister-in-law's instructions and gave the gatekeeper some silver to inquire about news. They all said that the current magistrate is very different from the previous one, and they don't know what's going on either. They told me to come back and wait for news first."

When he was kicked out, Tiezhu panicked like an ant on a hot pan. This was the first time his father and Jinxiu's sister-in-law had entrusted him with such a big task. If he messed it up, what face would he have to continue working for his sister-in-law

Sister-in-law won't despise him for being useless and won't need him anymore, right

As soon as he thought of this, Tiezhu became even more anxious. He kept circling around the county government office and refused to leave, trying every means to get news. He had no appetite for food and only drank a couple of sips of water.

It's really hungry and thirsty when I come back.

He had just finished speaking when his stomach began to growl loudly, and his lips were covered in a layer of dry skin.

Fang Jinshui saw the situation and glanced at Zong Yu. Zong Yu immediately understood, walked forward and patted Tie Zhu's shoulder.

No need to rush, take it slow. I'll take you to find Auntie Li and get some food and water. Fill your stomach first.

Fang Jinshu also nodded.

Tie Zhu's face flushed with shame. "Sister-in-law, Brother Zong Yu, I messed up such a simple thing. I'm too ashamed to eat or drink."

Fang Jinshu patted his head, "What nonsense are you talking about Things can be handled slowly, there's always a way. Are you going to think of a solution by not eating or drinking"

"Man is steel, rice is iron. Go eat quickly."

Iron Pillar chuckled, "That's so nice of my sister-in-law." He turned his head and went out with Zongyu.

As soon as the two people left, Fang Jinshu's smile faded from her face, and then her brows furrowed.

People in the county town were indeed much more complicated than those in the small mountain village. She didn't even glance at someone like Elder Zong, all her thoughts written plainly on her face.

A bad person's true nature will always be revealed.

But even before these people had put on a face, she could already smell the crafty and cunning air.

Must be all foxes reincarnated!

At night, as the couple lay in bed, Fang Jinshu noticed Zongyu's unusual expression. Although he usually had a stoic face and rarely smiled, making it difficult for most people to tell if he was unhappy or not, she could sense something different about him this time.

Who called her his wife She was the one who could discern it sharply.

"Ayu, what are you thinking about"

Zongyu shook his head. Things weren't going well, he was trying to find a way to solve it.

Fang Jinxiu raised her hand and rubbed his brow. "Although you usually look like this, your brows furrow occasionally when you're worried."

"Are you worried that selling these hillsides won't go smoothly"

Zong Yu lowered his head and pinched his wife's smooth cheeks, his gaze softening considerably.

"Hmm."

Even if he didn't say a word, his wife could still guess what he was thinking. How could his wife be so smart

Fang Jinxiu obediently snuggled into the man's broad chest, her small hand moving unfaithfully on top.

"Don't worry, the situation is still under my control. As long as we can figure out the other party's intentions, we can find a solution to anything."

"Tomorrow, we'll go and meet with the Zhao family at An Tang first. We'll get some silver then talk about it."

Normally, Fang Jinshu wouldn't be the type to explain things to others too much, especially about something that hasn't been finalized.

Male beauty is indeed deceptive. As soon as she saw him, her brow furrowed, and she couldn't help but want to tell him everything.

The man hugged Fang Jinshi happily and kissed her forehead.

"Well, I'll do as you say. Get some rest."she could only pinch up a layer of firm skin."Looking at you so serious like this, aren't you afraid I'll mess this wild boar up even more and make it worthless"This wild boar is much bigger than the...
