et affected by the drought"Fang Jinshu's words immediately contradicted her own speculation. This was simply impossible. Even if the heavens only rained on one side and not the other, the affected peo...Tiezhu arrived soon. While their family's trip to Beijing didn't need to be shared with anyone, a manor of this size couldn't be left without someone trustworthy looking after it.

"I understand."

When Tie Zhu learned that Fang Jinxiu was taking her whole family to the capital, he naturally wanted to go and help Zong Bai. But since Jin Xiu had called him over, he naturally understood her intention.

In a short while, Song Changhe and his wife Zong Hu also arrived.

Over the past three years, everyone has matured and become more stable. Of course, this is partly due to Fang Jinshu's deliberate cultivation.

Back then, the mountain villa was occupied by the three elders of the clan, and Zhao Xingzhou coincidentally destroyed all the vegetable shops in Luoshui City. The only business she had left was Long He's vegetable shop in Lisui Town.

Over three years, the Long River did not disappoint her expectations. Even though she went through many hardships along the way, this kid still followed her principles and turned the vegetable stall into a chain. You can see the sign of Jinxiu Vegetable Garden in almost every town in Xizhou.

The name of the shop was chosen by Chang He himself. At that time, Fang Jinxiu had just disappeared after suffering from amnesia, and he couldn't find anyone to discuss it with. He could only act on his own and use this name.

Perhaps the two characters "錦繡" also carry some of Fang Jinshi's auspicious koi attributes. Although Xizhou has been constantly plagued by war and its situation is dire, the business at the vegetable stand surprisingly hasn't been much affected. After all, people need to eat and drink to survive.

The war has left the people terrified, their fields abandoned and untended. No one is planting or selling vegetables anymore.

Instead, it allowed Song Changhe to stumble upon a major windfall and earn a fortune.

"Iron Pillar Brother, Zong Tiger Brother, you guys are both here." Song Changhe was still that shy guy who seemed embarrassed to meet anyone.

Tie Zhu saw him and jokingly said, "Chang He, you are now in charge of dozens of shops. How come you still have such a relaxed expression when you see people"

"Going out like that to do business, won't you be taken advantage of"

Chang He smiled, "The vegetable shop doesn't have much business, it's just selling vegetables."

Zong Hu patted Tie Zhu's shoulder, "Alright, don't bully Chang He just because you see him."

"Jinshu, I heard you're planning to go to the capital"

Fang Jinshi nodded. "Zong Bai should have told you about the family matters."

Zong Hu is also a member of the Zong family. She wants to entrust the manor to Zong Hu and his wife, and naturally some things need to be explained clearly.

For three years that Lao San occupied the manor, even Zong Hu's elder brother and his family weren't spared. They were implicated and suffered greatly. Zong Hu's elder brother had a leg broken and was imprisoned by Lao San in the deep mountains, forced to live with ferocious beasts day after day.

Fortunately, the tabby tiger wasn't too much of a wolf in sheep's clothing. For three years, it stayed around the wooden house where the Tiger Elder and his family lived, protecting them from harassment by other beasts in the mountains.

Otherwise, Zong Hu's family might not be alive when she returns.

"I heard."

Zong Hu's expression was somewhat complex, he still couldn't believe what Zong Bai had said.

"It's my uncle."

In my impression, he is a very good person.

He is a few years older than Zongyu and has spent the most time with Zongpingchuan.

Of the three sons of his family, the second uncle was the most patient and kind. Grandfather asked the second uncle to teach him to read and write. No matter how many times he made mistakes, the second uncle never scolded him. He patiently taught him over and over again until he could write correctly.

Moreover, he had never seen his second uncle argue with anyone in the village. Because he was a good reader, he was instead respected by the villagers.

When grandma constantly chided Second Aunt, saying she couldn't lift a finger and was useless to the family, Second Uncle unhesitatingly walked tens of miles each day between the mountains and town. He used the money he earned by copying books to silence grandma.

How could a person who has achieved fame and fortune abandon their wife and children to marry another woman

Zong Hu always couldn't reconcile the cold and indifferent man Zong Bai spoke of with the memories of his second uncle.

"You must figure out exactly what is going on."

"Aunt Two has lived a hard life, I hope this is just a misunderstanding."

Fang Jinshu didn't have much of an expression. If possible, she also hoped it was a misunderstanding.

That way, the mother-in-law won't be too heartbroken.

"Brother Zong Hu, I want to entrust you with managing the manor."

"If you encounter any difficulties, find Tie Zhu. You can discuss and figure it out together."

The two people nodded.

Zong Hu said, "Rest assured and go. I will definitely keep an eye on the manor for you."

Song Changhe stood beside and listened for a long time, he found that he hadn't been assigned any tasks by Sister Jinxiu. He hurriedly asked,

"And what about me, Jinxiu"

Fang Jinxiu looked at Chang He and smiled, “Don’t worry, Chang He, would you be willing to move Jinxiu Vegetable Garden to the capital”

"I'll buy you a piece of land and build a big shop for you, so you can really shine. How about that"

Song Changhe was very excited and his eyes lit up.
