really do anything to him, so he was confident.... There was a sense that if Mu Yunhe didn't open the door today, they would demolish their house....Unexpectedly, Zong Hu remained motionless. Not on..."Don't worry, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law won't blame me for this."

"You can stay as long as you want, no one will say anything to you."

Xiaocǎo simply smiled after hearing this, then lowered her head and remained silent.

She knew her second sister's mother-in-law and brother-in-law were good people, and even the brother-in-law's siblings seemed nice, at least more humane than her own siblings.

But she can't take advantage of her brother-in-law's house just because they are kind to her, acting shamelessly as if her status as the family daughter-in-law gives her the right.

Little Grass didn't want to be separated from her second sister, nor did she want to be disliked and driven away by her brother-in-law's family.

She clutched Fang Jinshu's clothes tightly, her lips parted in a whisper.

"Second sister, these tasks are really simple for me, just let me do them."

"I don't know what I can do if I don't work."

Fang Jinshi stared at the little grass for a long time, letting her stay home and do nothing. This girl had been honest and straightforward since she was a child.

The Zong family was not the familiar Fang family she grew up with. If she didn't work, she wouldn't feel safe.

Although she wasn't planning on pushing her younger sister too hard, she had already done three days' worth of work for Xiaoyue and the others that morning. If this continued, Xiaoyue and the others would be overworked.

My life was stolen, how could I not be heartbroken Maybe I'll have to go to her and complain about it later.

Fang Jinshi thought for a moment, since her sister was uneasy living at home, she might as well find her something to do.

"Alright, if you want to work, you can."

Hearing her elder sister's concession, Xiaocǎo's eyes lit up, and her small face lifted as well.

"Don't get too excited yet, I haven't finished speaking."

You're only thirteen years old. Our family doesn't use child labor. If you really want to work, you have to listen to your older sister's arrangements.

The little grass nodded eagerly. As long as the second sister was willing to let her work, she wouldn't eat and drink for nothing at her brother-in-law's house; she would agree to anything.

"Well, I'll listen to my second sister."

"Whatever Second Sister tells me to do, I'll do it."

"Fang Jinshu looked at him helplessly, "You said the same thing last night. What happened"

"I told you to stay home and recuperate, gain some weight, but you're out here working already this morning."

"I've told you your arm is fully recovered, can you work now"

The little grass drooped its head again, dejectedly.

"Second sister, Xiaochao knows he was wrong."

Looking at her younger sister's soft and sincere apology, Fang Jinxiu couldn't really get angry.

If you have to get angry, it's best to direct that anger at this girl who doesn't know how to take care of her body.

But all of her carefulness and eagerness to do whatever work she could, weren't they all forced upon her by Fang Dazhu and his wife since she was a child

Treat the little grass like a maid, not caring whether she is young or old, or if her body can take it.

"You said so yourself, from now on you have to listen to your second sister."

Don't think that just because Second Sister favors you, she won't punish you.

The little grass nodded with a smile. She knew that the second elder sister, though she might seem fierce on the outside, was actually the kindest and most caring person at heart.

When she was at home, whenever her parents assigned her work individually, she couldn't finish it and didn't get to eat. Her second elder sister would help her do the work and even secretly feed her to fill her stomach.

In that house, only the second sister was kind to her.

Xiao Cao hugged Fang Jinxiu's arm, nodding coquettishly.

"Got it."

When the two sisters returned home, Xiao Yue and the others had already hung up all their clothes to dry. They stood in a row at the kitchen entrance, and when they saw Fang Jinshi, their faces were also tense and worried.

Fang Jinshu glanced at them and knew exactly what they were thinking.

"What are you afraid of Afraid that the little grass will come and take all your jobs"

Little Yue smiled sheepishly.

"Jinxiu Sister, Miss Xiaocǎo is really capable. In fact, besides housework, we can also do other things."

Jin Yu quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, we'll still be planting and harvesting vegetables. We can help the second young miss with that."

"Autumn Chrysanthemum wasn't to be outdone and retorted, 'Sister Jinxiu, I've already learned how to make pickled vegetables and kimchi. I can also make salted vegetables. Please don't drive us away.'"

Suddenly, the courtyard was filled with maids' pleas.

Fang Jinxiu helplessly pushed her forehead.

"Who said you had to leave."

"The villa is about to enter the construction phase, there will be a lot of cleaning work inside, are you still worried about having nothing to do"

Then she said earnestly, "Even if we really don't have much work for you to do, I wouldn't drive you away."

"Put your hearts in your stomachs, if you want to leave my side, the only possibility is to find a good home and get married."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't possibly let you leave on your own. If I let you all go, where would I find such a group of considerate and loyal girls again"

Several people breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Fang Jinshi's words.

In order to allow Xiaocao to stay safely, Fang Jinshu decided to first bring her sister by her side and try to teach her some herbal knowledge, making herself an assistant.e."Zongyu didn't mention anything about how he had been frantically searching for Fang Jinshui this whole time, just shook his head faintly."You're safe."Fang Jinxiu patted the spot beside her, and Zo...
