Chapter 301: Take Her In

, such a large physique, with a touch of careful flattery on his face, Fang Jinshu shook her head helplessly.She wasn't really angry, she just disliked people being so disrespectful to his reputation....No matter how Chunlan struggled, Zongyu showed no mercy. He was very quick and carried Chunlan out without hesitation.

There wasn't even a chance to ask anyone for help.

Autumn Chrysanthemum stood frozen, her eyes filled with hesitation.

Fang Jinxiu saw that this girl was different from Chunlan in temperament, and she wasn't too hard on her. Since she still had a heart to save people, she should also give Qiuju another chance to choose.

“Qiuju, you don't know about Chunlan's affair, so Wang Zhuang and his family won't blame you.”

"What are you going to do next"

Autumn Chrysanthemum shook her head blankly, as if she had no idea at all.

"I, I don't know."

She never would have imagined that Chunlan would do such a thing.

"How much food did Chunlan get back from Tiezhu"

Fang Jinshi thought she could help Wang Zhuang's family recover some losses, and according to Chulan's personality, she definitely wouldn't leave herself with no way out and eat everything at once.

She thought Qiujing would know, but the silly girl was still clueless.

She didn't even know that Chunlan and Wang Tiezhu were exchanging things. She had only accidentally seen Wang Tiezhu come to find Chunlan, holding something in his hand. She thought it was Wang Tiezhu who had taken the initiative to give it to Chunlan.

"You little rascal, don't you know anything"

Autumn Chrysanthemum lowered her head silently, "Normally, Spring Orchid doesn't appear. I rarely get to see her, and I don't know what she's busy with."

Every time Chunlan went out to look for food, she mostly came back with empty hands. She wouldn't even let me go with her.

Autumn Chrysanthemum often went a whole day without eating at home.

When Fang Jinshi saw Qiujing, she had lost a significant amount of weight. When Qiujing left their home, her face still had some flesh, and her figure was that of a normal young woman.

Now I've lost so much weight that my belt fits half a circle tighter. It hasn't been long since I came down the mountain, is this rate of weight loss a bit too abnormal

"Qiuju, tell me honestly, have you eaten anything this period"

Autumn Chrysanthemum was stunned, a hint of grievance surfacing in her eyes, before she shook her head. Thinking about Spring Orchid often leaving her hungry for an entire day at home, if it weren't for the kindness of the village elder who gave her some wild vegetables to stave off hunger, she would have doubted if she should have starved to death by now.

"No."

Hearing that from Qiujing, Village Chief Wang was somewhat surprised.

"How could there be nothing to eat Chunlan took quite a lot of things from Tiezhu, including meat jerky and dried vegetables."

Autumn Chrysanthemum shook her head, “I’ve never seen any of these things you’re talking about.”

"Only once did I see Wang Tie come to look for Chunlan at the door, carrying a small basket of sweet potatoes in his hand. I had only ever eaten them before."

Fang Jinshi's face darkened, "This damn Chulan! She swore she would take care of you back then, but in the end, she didn't give a damn about your life or death."

Autumn Chrysanthemum didn't quite understand her words, “Jinxiu sister, you, how could you say that”

“Chunlan, she... she and I grew up together since we were little. How could she possibly not care about my life or death”

Fang Jinshui was truly exasperated. There were such silly girls in the world!

Xiao Yue was also angry, taking a step forward, "Look at yourself now, you've lost so much weight, you look like a ghost."

"Chulan took so much food from Wang Tiezhu's hands, but you've only eaten sweet potatoes once, and you haven't even seen the rest. Don't you understand"

She hid everything, keeping it for herself as a backup plan, not even thinking about you.

"You silly girl, being bullied like this and still running to Sister Jinxiu for help, Chunlan doesn't deserve you putting in so much for her."

"You shouldn't have gone with her in the first place."

Although Xiao Yue's words were sometimes blunt and sharp, her heart was actually soft. Seeing Qiu Ju like this, she felt more frustrated than anything else.

She suddenly knelt before Fang Jinshu, pleading with her.

"Sister Jinxiu, Autumn Chrysanthemum can't possibly live alone in the village like this. Xiaoyue begs you, please let Autumn Chrysanthemum sign a selling contract too, and take her in as well, alright"

"Fang Jinshu said helplessly, 'Back then, Qiujing also didn't want to stay. No one forced her. I was willing to give her this opportunity, but whether she would eventually stay or not depended on Qiujing herself.'"

"I didn't force anyone to sell themselves to satisfy my fetish."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiujing knelt down with a thump along with Xiaoyue. "Sister Jinxiu, I, I am willing!"

Actually, I was willing at first. It's just that I wasn't sure about Chunlan living alone in the village, so...so..." The little girl stammered with excitement.

Fang Jinshu glanced at Wang Zhuang's family, and thought to herself, "Well, leaving a single girl in the village, they probably wouldn't know what to do with Qiujiu anyway."e there was clean water at home.Otherwise, they wouldn't even be willing to use water for wiping their bodies."Okay, we widened the irrigation canal downstream a bit. Unless something unexpected happe...
