Chapter 391: Unknown to Gods and Ghosts

discovered that the two brothers of the Zong family were truly opposites.Zongyu wasn't very talkative and seldom expressed himself. Most of the time, he had a stern expression on his face.Zong Bai was...Upon hearing this, Fang Jinshu became puzzled.

"Old man, you don't have to be so polite. The fact that you accepted these herbs from me is already a huge help."

"Don't worry, I will definitely cure your illness."

The stout old man chuckled and then stopped asking.

Fang Jinxiu was grateful, but after all, the fat old man was a stranger she had only met today. A transaction was one thing, but other matters were best left unsaid.

After obtaining the money, Fang Jinshu and Zongyu went directly to the county office.

I happened to see Tiezhu not far from the county government office. He was sitting dejectedly by the roadside, trying to figure out a way forward after being turned away.

The past two days, no matter what methods he used, he couldn't get into the county office again. The guards at the gate all recognized him. In order to find out news, Tie Zhu did not hesitate to bribe the guards at the gate out of his own pocket.

The other party took the money, and I also chatted with him a lot, but it was all nonsense. I even advised him to give up this idea and go back earlier.

Isn't this the same as saying nothing

"Tie Zhu, why are you sitting here"

Here, look at this kid crying with a long face. Things must not be going well.

Seeing Fang Jinxiu and Zong Yu appear before him, Tiezhu immediately excitedly stood up.

The dejection on his face vanished instantly.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Zongyu, you're back."

"How is the business deal with the Zhao family going"

Tie Zhu had always lived with the Li family and was unaware of their experiences at the Zhao family. Fang Jinshu was very fortunate that she hadn't brought Tie Zhu along.

It's a good thing this child wasn't scared.

"We made it through alright." Silver's finally in our hands.

What's the situation on your end

As soon as he mentioned the iron pillar, he dejectedly shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, sister-in-law. I’m useless. I can't even handle something so small.”

"That magistrate also issued an order forbidding me from entering the county office."

He's made up his mind not to sell us the barren hills. These barren hills are useless in the hands of the government, I don't understand why he refuses to sell.

Tezhu paused for a moment, "Sister-in-law, you mean this magistrate, is he trying to raise the price out of thin air"

Fang Jinshu had never met the county magistrate before, so she didn't know what he was thinking.

"Now speculating won't do any good, first I have to find a way to meet the county magistrate."

Fan Jinshui saw the drum of complaint at the entrance, and suddenly had an idea.

Zhao Jiu, ignoring her father's objections and resistance, turned her head and walked out the door.

Old Master Zhao's face darkened as he roared, "Disobedient son! Where did you go"

Zhao Xingzhou's steps faltered, his face cold as he slightly turned his head. "Father, you and elder brother, for the sake of your own face, even disregard Fifth Sister's life."

But I cannot disregard it.

"You are too embarrassed to ask Lady Su, so I will go."

Zhao San slammed his fist on the table, "You dare! Ninth brother, I think you've been drugged by that country quack doctor! You actually believe her."

"We've had so many skilled doctors treating Xiao Wu's illness, but none of them could cure her. How could this country girl just waltz in and fix it"

Zhao Xingzhou angrily turned around, "If that's the case, could your third brother come up with a better way to cure your fifth sister"

Zhao San was speechless for a moment after being scolded by his younger brother, then angrily retorted.

"Little Five's illness was incurable from the start, that's just her fate."

Zhao Xingzhou coldly scanned the father and elder brother seated at the head of the table. How could he have such a father and brother

To put it simply, it's all about face.

"No matter what, I will definitely bring Su Niangzi back for the Fifth Sister to treat her. As long as there is a sliver of hope, I will not give up."

"Father, Fifth Sister was the daughter you raised in the palm of your hand since she was young. Could you really bear to see Fifth Sister remain in a coma like this"

Mr. Zhao's face twisted in conflict, but he ultimately remained silent.

Zhao Xingzhou shook his head in disappointment and stepped directly out of the house.

He had just left when Zhao San, with a sinister look on his face, walked up to Zhao Lao Ye. "Father, are you really going to let Xiao Jiu bring that country bumpkin doctor back"

Lord Zhao let out a cold snort, his eyes flashing with cruel ferocity.

"If Xiao Jiu can really bring the person back, it would save us a lot of trouble."

"Zhao the steward said that the woman had quite a few rare and precious medicinal herbs in her hands. It would be more trouble to make a move outside, and it might attract the attention of the authorities."

It's better to bring the person home and strike, unseen by gods or ghosts.

"If she could really cure Xiao Wu's illness, I would consider leaving her a whole body."

Zhao San immediately raised his thumb to his father, "Dad, you're so thoughtful!" even had a hint of a smile."This, this is impossible! You actually caught my thousand-jin hammer with your bare hands!""Who are you"The burly man was first surprised to the point of being stunned. Af...
