Madam Zong was utterly unreasonable."Okay, since you say my little tiger's injury has nothing to do with you, he went into the mountains because of your people. If your family didn't stir up this mes...Iron Zhu frowned, "Father, I think Sister-in-law Jinxiu doesn't mean anything else. With such heavy snow, isn't the ground on the mountain and in our fields as hard as stone"

Even if she made the villagers go back up the mountain, they wouldn't be able to do any work.

She's not obligated to support so many people in the village for free.

Wang, the village head, was taken aback for a moment, as if he was somewhat angry at his son's words. But after a second thought, he realized that it made sense and could only sigh in resignation.

Since the snow fell, most of the work in the village came to a halt. Everyone bundled themselves up in thick cotton clothes and stayed indoors.

Tie Zhu touched the new cotton clothes on his body, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Sister-in-law Jinxiu is really amazing.

This year's winter seems colder than in previous years.

She seemed to be able to predict the future. Everyone thought that after such a long drought, there wouldn't be snow in winter.

So everyone hadn't prepared much winter clothing, but Jinxiu's sister-in-law insisted on exchanging a portion of the villagers' wages for cotton clothes when she distributed the grain.

At that time, this matter also caused dissatisfaction among many people.

Now, no one brought it up anymore, each person hugging their cotton-padded jackets tightly.

This village would have certainly not survived this winter without Fang Jinshi's arrival.

Tie Zhu wasn't very happy to see his own father so anxious and worried about the village.

He said they were living in comfort but oblivious to it, and deserved their fate for being so reckless.

When something happens, he acts like a wallflower, not caring about the lives of these people. He wouldn't want to get involved either if it were him.

"Dad, I'm going out for a bit."

Although there was little work in winter, Tiezhu insisted on going to Jinshi Mountain Villa every day to see if his sister-in-law needed any help.

Even if it means chopping wood for their family, I'm willing to do it.

He went to Chang He's house first as usual and invited him to go up the mountain together.

Along the way, both of them had cheeks flushed red from the cold. Xiaoyue hurriedly invited them inside.

"Sister Jinxiu had said long ago, with the weather so cold, you two should just stay home and rest, no need to come up."

"There's nothing to do at home now, why are you still running up here every day in this cold"

The two were indeed frozen, their toes stiff with cold. Xiaoyue led the pair to Fang Jinshi's courtyard and, after lifting the thick windbreak curtain, a wave of warmth hit them.

Inside is simply like spring, so warm and comfortable.

"You two are just in time," Fang Jinshu raised her head to look at Xiaoyue, "Go make a pot of ginger tea for them."

"Sister-in-law, is there something you need from us"

Before Fang Jinshi could speak, Yu Lian took a step forward and walked before the two of them.

"Ahem, to be precise, I have something to ask the two of you."

The two looked at each other in confusion, waiting for Zong Yulian to continue.

"My sister-in-law said she's going to open two restaurants, one in Luoshui County and the other in Lishui Town. Luoshui County has more people, so that restaurant will probably be bigger, and I need an assistant,"

"You two should understand what I mean, right You can discuss it yourselves, who goes to Loushui with me, and who goes to Lisui alone."

Thanks to the drought, fresh vegetables are definitely in short supply outside right now. Even without a drought, it's rare to find fresh vegetables during winter.

Only wealthy and noble families, who owned their own estates and had built greenhouses, could afford to eat fresh vegetables.

So this business, it's not about going viral or anything, but at least you won't lose money no matter what.

"I'll go to Lishui, and I won't let you guys go alone." Fang Jinshu added.

Iron Pillar and Chang He looked at each other. In fact, they both wanted to follow Fang Jinxiu, but Yu Lian couldn't be left without help either.

Their faces were a little embarrassed.

"When I heard my sister-in-law was going to Lishui, everyone wanted to go with her, didn't they"

"Why don't you two think about it A vegetable shop is clearly a surefire money-maker. Why would your sister-in-law go to Li Shui"

The two of them didn't quite understand.

Fang Jinshu raised her hand, letting Yulian sit back down first, "Actually, the vegetable stall in Lishui might still need one of you to manage it alone."

"I can't stay there for very long."

Secondly, once you take this job, there's a possibility that you won't have time to come back all winter, maybe even missing New Year's Eve.

"So consider this carefully, and if you are unwilling, I will not force you."

She thought these two would hesitate a little after hearing this, but unexpectedly, they both shouted in unison.

"We're willing!"

Tie Zhu chuckled and said, “Actually, I don't usually like staying at home during the New Year either. My father would rather I work more with Sister Jinxiu.”

"My mother's body is almost recovered. Before, I was reluctant to leave home because I was afraid she wouldn't have anyone to look after her and would be bullied."

"Now that she's better, she can often come to the mountain villa to play with Aunt Mu even if she has nothing to do, so if sister-in-law has any errands, just give us a command."

"My mother, she would understand."s words and hurriedly went to cover his mouth.It was too late, sadly. The Flower-spotted Tiger had already heard the words, and turned around angrily. It faced Li Yuanchun, opening its blood-red maw w...
