Chapter 425: The Mountain Villa Must Be Built

e and precious. Although her face remained calm and composed, she quietly hatched a plan to steal the herbs from Su Yusheng's hands."How many kinds of herbs has Mr. Su gathered"Su Yusheng's attitude t...Soon, Li Muhui will bring the construction team for building the villa. Once work begins, we'll have to spend money every day.

At dinnertime, Fang Jinshu kept walking away with her bowl, her speech was particularly sparse, and the whole family could see that her expression was a little off.

"Jinxiu, aren't you bothered by the fact that there isn't enough space at home for all these things" Mu shi asked.

Fang Jinxiu shook her head. Now she was the head of the household, there was no reason to let her mother-in-law worry along with her.

Seeing his sister-in-law's silence, Zong Bai helped her speak, "Your worry must be about the money issue, right"

When he said this, the whole family realized, oh right, this means we'll have to clear land and build a house. Either way, it will take a huge amount of manpower and resources.

Jinxiu also promised to give the villagers ten texts of work money per person every day. A day is not more than ten days, after all. It's not something that can be done in one or two days to clear land and build houses.

"Sister-in-law, our old house is still livable. Why don't we spend the money on clearing land instead We used to get through the winters just fine, didn't we We don't need a new house." Yulian thought her suggestion was very good. If they didn't build a new house, wouldn't that save them a lot of silver

Zong Bai thought for a moment and nodded, "Sister-in-law, Yu Lian's idea also works."

Perhaps we could put off building the house for now.

Fang Jinshu still shook her head. "No, building the Mountain Manor is more important than clearing wasteland."

Everyone looked confused, not understanding why she was so insistent on building a manor.

"Jinxiu, what exactly are you planning to do Can you please talk to us properly"

"We know your plans, and we're willing to cooperate."

Fang Jinshu listened and nodded. In the past, she was used to making decisions on her own without consulting anyone.

Now her environment is different. The Mus are now her own family, and she should let them know about any decisions she makes. This home isn't just hers alone.

"Mother, in previous winters, you hardly had much stored grain or vegetables. But now it's different, our vegetable patch can still produce quite a lot before the snow falls."

"My storage space is limited, and I can't hold that many ingredients."

"If you have fresh produce that you can't finish and nowhere to store it, shouldn't you find a way to store it safely"

Yulian said, "Sister-in-law, I can make the leftover vegetables into various kinds of kimchi and put them in jars. It won't be wasted."

"Where would you put that extra stool"

Yu Lian was taken aback and speechless.

The house wasn't big to begin with, and now with so many supplies, there's even less room for the kimchi jars.

"Then I'll just plant fewer vegetables," she said to herself, then trailed off. Even if she stopped planting tomorrow, there wouldn't be room in the house for all the vegetables already growing.

Yulian scratched her head, she was truly a bit troubled.

Zong Yu said, “Then we'll only build a warehouse to store things first. We'll build houses for people next year.”

Fang Jinshu still shook her head. If she hadn't gone to Luoshui City this trip, she might have had the same thoughts as A Yu.

Have you ever taken a close look at that canal outside Shuilocity, the one built by humans she turned to ask Zongyu.

Zong Yu frowned, "Took a look, what's the problem"

"Haven't you noticed that the water level in the canal has been dropping"

The county magistrate said that this canal was diverted from a large river. Logically, if it had always been flowing water, as long as there were no droughts in other areas, the water level shouldn't have dropped so significantly.

Zong Yu instantly understood, his expression becoming extremely grave.

"So you're saying that it's not just Xizhou experiencing a drought, but other areas as well"

Fang Jinshu nodded. "Drought in other areas may just be beginning. If the rain-less area continues to expand, this world will sooner or later be even more chaotic than it is now."

Our family needs to make plans early. The water in the mountains is likely groundwater, and groundwater is not inexhaustible.

"The villa must be built as quickly as possible, and the mountaintop needs to be cleared and cultivated soon. Plant more fruits and vegetables. Before a large-scale drought breaks out, these things will be lifesavers. The more we store, the greater our hope of survival."

The Mu clan, including Zong Bai and Yu Lian siblings, listened to the entire story and were all stunned into silence. They remained speechless for a long time.

Could a drought really get that severe Although she enjoys this close contact, she's afraid he won't be able to control himself next second and they'll end up making love.Fang Jinshu didn't resist the idea of consummation with Zong Yu, it...
