k his head. "Mother, I'm not worried about Big Brother and Sister-in-law. I'm more concerned about the wound on Uncle's hand.""Big brother was really ruthless this time, Big uncle's hand got pierced c...Fāng Jǐnxiù still thought it wasn't a big deal. She couldn't just let a couple divorce because of such a small matter.

Before she could even finish her sentence, Wang Village Chief cut her off again.

"It's not just because of you."

"As her husband for so many years, I know exactly what Zhao's wife is like."

Although life in the village was hard before, at least she wouldn't cause any major trouble by acting up.

"Things are different now. The villagers are struggling just to survive, and I can't keep shielding her and turning a blind eye to her just because she's my daughter-in-law."

"Let her continue to wreak havoc in the village, unhindered, under the guise of being the village head's wife."

"I can't just stand by and watch the village be torn apart by her!"

Fang Jinxiu was taken aback. It turned out that Uncle Wang knew everything.

And what about that iron pillar

Zhaoshun did indeed have problems, and Wangshu's act of righteousness in putting family aside was very unexpected from her.

She opened her mouth today for no other reason. Iron Pillar had been by their side for so long, she'd never seen him work with such dejection before.

"Zhao Shn has followed you for so many years, today you act with great righteousness to protect your family and the village, and for Zhao Shn's sake, you are breaking ties with her. How does Tie Zhu feel about this"

The village head, Wang, didn't start this. If he had other options, he wouldn't have resorted to separation.

To be honest, his wife's behavior is getting worse and worse.

There was something he had never dared to tell Fang Jinshu.

During those days when she went to Fangjia Village, he rummaged through his wife's belongings while looking for clothes and came across a pack of rat poison.

Since the drought struck the village, the granaries were emptied, and the crops in the fields withered away. There wasn't even a single mouse, let alone a grainworm, to be found in their village.

Their family had never bought rat poison before.

Later on, he saw that Zhao shi always walked very close to Hu Ai Lan. A wave of anxiety surged up in his heart.

His wife suddenly brought out this rat poison, she probably isn't using it on rats.

When he realized this, Village Chief Wang was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to think any further.

He must get Zhao out of the village.

"Tie Zhu will understand."

Village Chief Wang raised his hand, indicating he didn't want to say more. Just then, Zong Yu and the others came back from working.

Fan Jinshi could only withdraw the topic and went to the kitchen to serve dishes, preparing for lunch.

When it was time to rest in the evening, Fang Jinshu let Xiaochao go back to her room first. She called Zong Yu over.

"Ah, Yu."

She beckoned to Zongyu, "I want to go for a soak by the stream."

Zong Yu frowned, "It's cold at night, the stream is a bit far, and if you catch a cold after soaking in it, you'll get sick."

Fang Jinshu actually didn't want to soak in hot springs. She just wanted to find a secluded place to talk to Zong Yu about something.

Then I'll go soak my feet.

Zong Yu would never really refuse his wife anything. When Fang Jinxiu pouted and acted cute, he helplessly relented.

Before he left, he went back into the house and got his thick cotton coat.

"Didn't you say that wearing this is too hot and inconvenient for work"

Master Zongyu's body was incredibly tough. Even when it was cold, he only changed from a short robe to a long one; he didn't feel much colder at all while others wore two or three layers of clothing.

Sometimes Fang Jinshi truly envied him. Not only was his physique strong, but his recovery ability was also exceptional. His hands and feet were always like little warm ovens.

"I won't wear it, put it on when you get back."

Fang Jinshu smiled wryly. This man, wasn't he the one who disagreed with her taking a bath

The two had walked this path to the mountain stream many times before, even Fang Jinshu had memorized the route, so they walked especially quickly.

Standing by the hot spring, Fang Jinshu did not take off her clothes to bathe, she only removed her shoes and socks, pulling Zong Yu to sit with her by the pool.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's heavy expression, Zong Yu reached out and gently squeezed her hand.

"Go ahead."

Fang Jinshu turned her head to look at him, letting out a light chuckle.

"How do you know I have something to tell you"

Sōsaku reached out and touched her face with his palm, his thumb gently stroking her eyes.

"Your eyes tell me."

Fang Jinxiu rubbed her face against the man's palm, as if drawing strength from Zong Yu's energy.

"I've been pretty tired lately."

Zhong Yu immediately felt sorry for her and said, "From tomorrow on, just tell me if you have anything to do. You stay home and take care of Xiaochao."

Fang Jinshu shook her head, "It's not physical fatigue, it's here."

She pointed to her chest.

Zongyu was taken aback. Since her daughter-in-law came to their home, she had always been full of energy, smart and cunning, smiling all day long, as if everything came easily to her.

This was the first time he had heard his daughter-in-law say she was tired.

Zong Yu's heart ached so much, his brows furrowed, almost twisting together.

"Can our village really weather this drought"u, but she also didn't want to see kind hearts being taken for granted again.Just ignore her.On the contrary, Xiaoyue, who had never spoken much, suddenly reminded Qiujing."Autumn Chrysanthemum, you c...
