Chapter 460: Indulge the Traitor

ed to the waiter, "Quick, take your host to the latrine."The waiter looked confused, "Why would I go to the latrine"The old, fat man was also puzzled at first, wondering who would make a patient go to...Little Black in the sheep pen seemed to sense something, bleating anxiously. As soon as Xiaohua heard the sound of other animals, her ears perked up immediately, and she stopped licking herself and playing. She stood up and looked around.

Fāng Jǐnxiù tightened the hemp rope, warning it.

"If you dare to harm the livestock at home, I'll break your tiger legs."

Xiaohua suddenly became frightened. The wild chickens and ducks squawked in panic. Perhaps it was an animal instinct, they, including the black sheep, became agitated by Xiaohua's arrival, their cries filled with fear and terror.

"Mother, don't be afraid, Xiaohua's fangs have been pulled out, it won't hurt anyone."

Even though the daughter-in-law said so, Mu Shi was still afraid.

Since the daughter-in-law brought this tiger home, she must have had her reasons. Since the daughter-in-law said it wouldn't hurt anyone, Mu Shi could only grit her teeth and nod in agreement.

"Well then, let's just leave it."

"Jinxiu, you, what are you going to do with bringing back a tiger"

Fang Jinshi said, “Patrol the home grounds.”

Mu's expression was strange, and she stuttered for a long time before saying, "So you knew about the theft in the vegetable garden all along"

It wasn't until she heard this that Fang Jinshi was taken aback.

A theft in the vegetable patch I've never heard Jade Lotus or Mother mention it.

Since she had entrusted the vegetable patch to Jade Lotus, she hadn't bothered to inquire about its condition. She knew with the spiritual spring water, the vegetable patch couldn't possibly do poorly.

So I didn't worry much.

"Mother, when did this happen Why didn't you tell me"

At this very moment, Jade Lotus returned. Upon entering the courtyard, she saw a large tiger standing there and screamed in fright, dropping the frame she was holding. The fruits, vegetables, and other items inside spilled onto the ground.

A cucumber rolled right to Xiaohua's feet. She bent down and sniffed it, then her eyes lit up. She opened her mouth and chomped down on the cucumber on the ground, crunching loudly.

Yulian was dumbfounded.

"What A tiger eating cucumber"

Aren't tigers carnivores

Fang Jinxiu could understand. These fruits and vegetables were all grown with spiritual spring water, so they contained some nutrients from the spiritual spring water.

Animals are particularly sensitive to the taste of the spring water. Although tigers are not omnivores, they don't actually like eating cucumbers. They simply smelled the taste of spring water in them.

"Sister-in-law, what...what's going on here"

Xiaohua told Fang Jinshi the simple story again. They all understood that after so long, the tiger hadn't done anything harmful. Gradually, several women started to feel less afraid.

"Jadelian, just now Mother said that the vegetable patch was stolen from, how come you didn't tell me about this"

Yu Lian was taken aback, her eyes darting around nervously. Didn't they agree to keep this a secret from her sister-in-law How did Mother find out

"Sister-in-law, just a few vegetables were lost in the vegetable patch. Maybe some animals from the mountains stole them while we were asleep at night. It wasn't much, and I don't think it would make much of a difference to our family, so I didn't tell you."

"Besides, you've been pretty busy lately. I figured it's best not to bother you with something small like this."

Fang Jinshu frowned, "The animals in the mountains have mostly retreated deep into the mountains. There wouldn't be any animals coming down to steal vegetables."

Jade Lotus also agreed, saying that since the drought began, they hadn't seen any small animals near their home anymore. Before, they could occasionally see some in the trees by their house and gate.

"Sister-in-law means it was stolen by someone"

Fang Jinshi nodded, "It's possible."

We have sent some vegetables to Village Head Wang and the Chang He family several times. Many villagers have seen it, and it is possible that someone might be tempted to steal them.

Yu Lian immediately panicked, "What are we going to do I've been so focused on clearing the land that the vegetable patch has grown to seven or eight mu now. There's no way I can keep an eye on it all!"

"Shall we build a fence to enclose the vegetable patch"

"One can't keep guarding against thieves for a thousand days. We can't be lenient with the treacherous," Fang Jinshu shook her head.

"Building a wall is a big project too. We need to stop them from stealing from the root, so they won't dare to steal from our home again."

Yu Lian was at a loss, “What are we going to do then”

Fāng Jǐnxiù smiled and touched Xiaohua's head.

"As for this matter, Xiaohua could be of great help."

I didn't expect to be able to use the tabby cat so quickly after bringing it home.

"It" Jade Lotus's face was filled with disbelief.eople. Except for Fang Jinxiu, they were all now officials of the imperial court.Pan Zhian looked at the Zong family brothers and felt a bit sentimental. A few years ago, when Fang Jinshu came to the...
