Chapter 37

By the time the sun turned westward, Fang Jinxiu had already filled the basket behind Zong Yu, and he was still carrying hundreds of kilograms of rice, oil, grains and noodles in his hands.

Fang Jinxiu said she wanted to get him some, but Zong Yu immediately dodged and said no need.

"You should save your energy and walk on the mountain road."

If he didn't mention this, Fang Jinxiu almost forgot that their family lived in the mountains, and they still had such a long mountain to climb. This was not a problem for Zong Yu, as she was indeed not very physically strong.

Immediately, he stopped politely saying that he would help carry the things. He went all the way to the town entrance and spent five cents to hire an ox cart and start driving home.

Zong Pingkang did not leave immediately after he ran away. He was really unwilling to not get the money.

So I kept following Zong Yu and Fang Jinxiu, watching them lavishly buying so many things, I was so jealous that I almost bled.

He didn't dare to go up and ask for it, and he couldn't even snatch it. Who could snatch something from Zong Yu's hand?

Don't let him punch you to death.

When the two got on the bullock cart, he became anxious.

How could his two legs catch up with the four-wheeled ox cart? In the end, he could only watch the two of them disappear on the road with their loads of things.

And he could only slowly move back on his legs.

This time Fang Jinxiu gritted her teeth and refused to let Zong Yu carry her to climb the mountain. When he came out, he was carrying a big wild boar on his back. When he came back, he was carrying large and small bags full of things, and he was no lighter than a wild boar.

Zong Yu kept walking behind, looking distressedly at his wife's pale face from exhaustion.

He could tell that Fang Jinxiu was actually a bit squeamish, and he had been waiting for her to ask for help.

As a result, she didn't say a word until she reached the door of her house.

Zong Bai had been standing at the door of his house waiting for his brother and sister-in-law to return. Seeing the sky getting darker and darker, he almost couldn't help but go out to look for them along the way.

Fortunately, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are back.

He hurriedly stepped forward to answer, "Brother, sister-in-law, are you back?"

"If you don't come back, I will go out to find you."

Zong Yu's thoughts were always on Fang Jinxiu, who was extremely tired. He didn't bother to talk to his brother and just threw the things in his hands to him.

He picked up Fang Jinxiu, who had been unable to stand for a long time.

Fang Jinxiu had already collapsed from exhaustion, and now she didn't even have the strength to speak. She let Zong Yu hold her and rested her head on his chest. She really wanted to drink water.

Only then did Zong Bai realize that something was wrong, "Brother, what's wrong with sister-in-law?" "She's tired. I'll take her back to rest. You bring everything in."

Zong Bai nodded quickly. Despite his young age, he was also very strong.

He picked up baskets of things and hundreds of kilograms of grain, oil, rice and noodles with both hands and walked home.

Zong Yulian was overjoyed to see her second brother come back with so many things, and hurriedly came over to take a look.

"Wow, brother went out and bought so many things this time."

"There's also oil, grain, and white flour!"

"Great, we finally don't have to go hungry to eat wild vegetables!"

Zong Bai was a little worried about his sister-in-law's condition. He moved the grain, oil, rice and noodles to the kitchen to put them away, and handed the basket to his sister.

"Yulian, take the frame to the back room and clean it up. Tell your mother that your eldest brother and sister-in-law are back safely, so she shouldn't worry."

"I'm going to see how my sister-in-law is doing."

Zong Yulian snorted and complained dissatisfiedly, "It's not very useful if I have to carry him back when I have to climb some mountainous roads."

When Zong Bai heard this, he turned around and scolded her, "Yulian, please be more respectful to your sister-in-law."

"You can climb the mountain by yourself without panting from exhaustion."

Zong Yulian said unconvinced, "Then I am much better than her. I won't be unable to stand and have to be carried home."

Zong Bai shook his head helplessly, "Don't blame the second brother for not warning you. The eldest brother usually doesn't talk much. He is satisfied with his sister-in-law."

"If you are disrespectful to my sister-in-law, be careful and my eldest brother will find out and deal with you."

After saying that, he turned around and went out.

Zong Bai could tell that the life of the eldest sister-in-law at home was not good before. Most rural families favored boys over girls. It was normal for the eldest sister-in-law to be so thin that she could not climb a mountain.

Just keep it up.

He came to the door of their room and knocked on the door.

"Brother, sister-in-law, is she okay?"
