Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.
Chapter 22 Making money to survive the winter is the most important thing right now
Fang Yu walked over, but before she could speak, Fang Xin interrupted.
She held a handful of ashes from the recently burned mud money in her hand: "Mother, someone must have swept the wrong grave, so they helped tidy up Father's grave."
Now that Fang Xin has said that, looking at the grave now, it does seem to make some sense.
Fortunately, when Fang Yu reburied it that day, she deliberately removed all the weeds around it, so it didn't look like the grave had been dug up and the coffin opened.
However, Fang Yu had not burned these mud coins; they looked more like they were made intentionally.
She glanced back at the spot behind her where someone was likely hiding before turning to comfort Li: "Yes, Mother, perhaps someone swept the wrong grave."
Li believed it too, after all, they were just poor people and had no valuable burial items, so she wouldn't think that someone was robbing the tomb.
Fang Yu finally managed to fool them and took a deep breath.
Li held back her tears and gently wiped Fang Youfu's tombstone with a rough handkerchief.
Knowing that Li was going to chat with Fang Youfu, Fang Xin pulled Fang Yu aside and asked mysteriously, "Sister, did you dig up Dad's grave?"
Fang Yu almost choked on her own saliva, looking at her in disbelief: "Xin'er, how did you guess?"
Fang Yu never suspected that there was anything wrong with her medicine; she guessed that something must have gone wrong somewhere else.
Fang Xin pursed her lips and slowly smiled: "I guessed right."
Fang Yu never expected that she would be tricked by Fang Xin. She softened her tone and asked, "Xin'er, don't you think what I'm doing is extremely disrespectful?"
Fang Xin shook her head earnestly, "No, I believe in my sister. She has her reasons for doing this."
Fang Yu laughed and playfully pinched her nose: "Then tell me, how did you find out?"
Fang Xin lowered her voice again, "These past few nights, my mother and I have been sleeping very soundly, it can't be a coincidence. You were also restless on the way here. And the thing you asked me about my father before, I only just figured it out. A few days ago, I saw that your shoes and clothes were covered with mud and grass."
"Sister, is there something wrong with the soup you give me and Mother every day?"
"These... are just some calming herbs..." Fang Yu hesitated, but Fang Xin put her arm around her shoulder and said, "You don't have to treat me like this next time. No matter what you're going to do, I won't tell Mother."
The trust in Fang Xin's eyes touched Fang Yu's heart.
Fang Yu spoke her mind and looked at Li Shi, who was talking to Fang Youfu: "Xin'er, I just suspect that the person lying in there might not be our father."
Fang Xin was instantly surprised, recalling the time when Fang Youfu was buried: "Sister, now that you mention it, it seems that when Father was buried, we couldn't even see his original face clearly. Maybe the person inside really wasn't our Father."
"What do you want to do, sister? I can help you."
Fang Yu shook her head: "No need. The most important thing right now is to make more money and build our house before winter."
When it came to making money, Fang Xin's eyes lit up again: "Okay, can we sell more barbecue today?"
Fang Yu rubbed her head. "Okay, I'll sell more today, but I have something to do and need to go up the mountain. You and Mom go home and wait for me. I'll be back soon."
"Ah, are we still going up the mountain now? It'll be too late if we go to the city later." Fang Xin was worried about missing out on earning money.
"I'll be quick. You go back and prepare first. I promise it won't delay our time to make money."
Li didn't ask Fang Yu what she was going to do on the mountain, but simply told her to be careful.
Fang Yu's figure disappeared hastily on the mountain path. Only after Li Shi and Fang Xin could no longer see her did she emerge from behind the tree.
She reached around her waist, picked up a pebble in her hand, and casually threw it at a tree trunk to her side and behind her.
"clang!"
A crisp striking sound rang out. Fang Yu took two steps toward the direction of the sound and said to the person on the tree trunk, "Come out."
Mo Jiu sheathed his sword, jumped down from the tree trunk, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Miss Fang, how did you know it was me?"
Fang Yu asked directly, "You burned that clay paper, so why did you help me?"
Mo Jiu: "Respect for the deceased is paramount. It was just a matter of convenience. My young master said that Miss Fang, you helped Tianxiang Tower, which is to oppose Jufu Tower. He was worried about your safety, so he sent me to secretly follow you. But don't worry, we have absolutely no ill intentions."
"Thank you."
Fang Yu thanked her. Mo Jiu had expected her to say that she shouldn't follow her anymore, but she didn't say anything.
Fang Yu wasn't stupid. Mo Jiu was talking about Tianxiang Tower, but he wasn't really interested in the jade pendant she was holding.
She also happened to be interested in the jade pendant in Xiao Jingqi's hand.
"Shh!"
Mo Jiu, who was just standing opposite, disappeared in the blink of an eye. Fang Yu was just wondering when he heard footsteps behind him.
She slowly turned around to look.
Lin Wu walked over, carrying a quiver on his back and a bow in his hand.
"Sister Yu, what a coincidence! Are you going hunting in the mountains today too? It's not safe for you to go alone, why don't we go together?"
Fang Yu now understands why Mo Jiu was able to dodge so quickly.
Fang Yu merely glanced at Lin Wu indifferently, then turned and walked back.
"Yu... Sister!"
When Lin Wu called to her, she walked even faster.
He had waited on the mountain for several days just to see her, and it was such a coincidence that he bumped into her today, but she had already left. It was quite a pity.
However, he vaguely remembered hearing Fang Yu talking to someone, but when he turned around and looked around, he didn't see anyone else.
Fang Yu hadn't even arrived home when Fang Xin came looking for her: "Sister, we've been waiting for you, let's go quickly."
They rushed to Tianxianglou in a great hurry.
Fang Xin was already used to it and set up her stall on her own.
Fang Yu also got busy.
There were far more people than expected, and Fang Yu couldn't keep up with the grilling by herself.
Over the past two days, Fang Xin has learned about 80-90% of what was going on, so she started baking along with them.
As the number of people at Jufulou across the street dwindled, the number of people gathering at the entrance grew larger.
Fang Yu planned to stop roasting once she had sold the amount Fang Xin had prepared. Fang Xin noticed that there wasn't much left, so she asked, "Sister, how about we borrow some meat from Manager Sun to continue selling?"
"No need." Fang Yu glanced calmly across the street. "Let's go home early today."
"Okay." Fang Xin was a little disappointed, but she still nodded obediently.
After the last batch was baked, Fang Yu wiped her hands and said, "Xin'er, I'm going to use the restroom. You can continue cleaning up."
"Okay, sister, you go ahead."
There were so many people dining in the lobby that the waiters were completely overwhelmed.
The waiter wasn't paying attention, and a freshly cooked dish spilled all over Fang Yu.
"Miss Fang, are you alright? I was in such a hurry that I didn't notice anything amiss... Miss Fang, why don't you go upstairs to a private room to take care of things?"
Fang Yu raised her arm slightly and waved her hand: "It's okay, you go ahead and get busy."
She carried the hot water upstairs to a private room to wash off the dirt on her body.
