Chapter 218: You Have More Important Missions

n the mountain.I didn't see anyone when I went through the village.The village head's house had an oil lamp lit. As Fang Jinxiu walked closer, she saw a group of short, dark-skinned middle-aged men.Is...She watched her brother-in-law and sister-in-law's excitement over the small vegetable patch, and after picking all the vegetables, she casually said...

"From now on, you can leave the tasks of planting and tending the vegetable patch to Jade Lotus. You can plant as many varieties as you like, and when they're ripe, we'll harvest them and store them in our space to eat during the winter."

"If we plant more, maybe we could even sell them. Right now, everyone is short of food, even wilted vegetable leaves would probably be snatched up."

Zong Yulian instantly nodded with delight.

She patted her chest and assured Fang Jinshu, "Okay, okay, sister-in-law, you can rest assured and give me the vegetable patch. I'll take good care of it!"

Zong Bai was unwilling.

"Sister-in-law, why did you give this important task to Yulian instead of me"

"Jade Lotus is so careless, she might even kill the plants."

"The weeds in the vegetable patch used to be pulled by me, you'd better give it to me."

Zong Yulian immediately grappled with her second brother.

"You say who's clumsy! Second Brother, you're too cunning, how dare you speak ill of me."

Zong Bai pressed down on Yu Lian's hand as she extended it, ready to cover his mouth, and desperately reassured Fang Jinxiu.

"Sister-in-law, I'm still stronger than Yulian. There are fields everywhere near our home. The rule in the village is that uncultivated land doesn't cost anything. Whoever cultivates it first gets to own it."

“I can expand the small garden into a large one. Not only can I grow all the vegetables we need for winter, but I can also make money for the family!”

Fang Jinshu's words did indeed remind Zong Bai.

He was eager to grab the task of planting vegetables from his sister, hoping to earn more money for the family.

It's not fair to put all the burden of raising the family on your brother and sister-in-law!

Fang Jinshi knew Zong Bai's mind. She walked forward and patted his arm, originally wanting to pat his shoulder, but Zong Bai was also very tall, definitely over six feet tall. It was hard to pat his shoulder, and the posture looked awkward!

She was a little puzzled. Her mother-in-law wasn't tall, so why were the two sons of her family clan all so tall

It seems like the father-in-law's genes are too excellent. No wonder his disappearance has lasted so long, and his mother-in-law has been thinking about him all these years. His father-in-law must be handsome too.

"Giving the vegetable patch to Jade Lotus was intentional on my part."

You have another task.

Zong Bai's eyes lit up immediately, and he followed Fang Jinshu towards home.

He kept asking her, "What kind of mission is it, sister-in-law"

"Just say what you need, I'm sure I can do it. Don't hesitate to ask, I'm not afraid of hard work."

When they reached the kitchen doorway, Fang Jinshu and Zong Yu exchanged glances. This guy was truly a pain in the neck.

Fāng Jǐnxiù began to wonder if the headmaster of the academy truly missed him when he went to study, or if he was just annoyed by his presence

She turned around, Zongbei stopped in his tracks at once, staring at her expectantly, waiting for his sister-in-law to announce his mission.

Fang Jinshi smiled thinly and said, "I was going to find you after dinner to talk about this."

"Since you're so eager to know, I might as well tell you."

Although she hadn't discussed it with Zongyu yet, she believed her family would definitely not object to her decision.

"I intend for you to continue your studies at the academy. You're fifteen now, and if we don't hurry, by the time you pass the imperial examinations, you'll be ancient!"

"Don't you want to be on the list before your hair turns white"

Fang Jinxiu had never thought that her nephew would be able to pass the imperial examination in one go. After all, passing the imperial examination was not an easy feat.

There are plenty of gifted children who excel in their studies, and besides, Zong Bai always gets distracted and goes home without finishing his work. His homework is definitely not thorough.

This time, she was determined to let him continue his studies at school. No matter how difficult the circumstances became, she wouldn't allow Zong Bo to drop out and return home.

This child, upon hearing his sister-in-law tell him to return to school and pick up his books to study, froze in place, his expression blank and dazed.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you, are you serious" his usual cold demeanor, couldn't help but be stunned upon hearing the price of four thousand taels. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the dark object in the fat old man's palm.The wife f...
