Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

"Master..." Mo Jiu hesitated, but Xiao Jingqi raised his hand slightly, signaling him to stop talking. He then instructed, "Send someone to take Miss Fang and the others home. Go back first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

They took all the men in black away, leaving one person behind to see them off.

Watching Xiao Jingqi's slightly swaying figure being supported by Mo Jiu, Fang Yu covered his forehead, wanting to laugh.

Fang Xin, her eyes still brimming with tears, said, "Sister, what should I do? I've gotten myself into big trouble."

She had clearly seen the murderous intent in Mo Jiu's eyes, and she believed that if her sister hadn't been there, she would have been hacked to death.

Fang Yu led her towards home, comforting her as she said, "It's alright. Lord Xiao is a good official. He won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. Mo Jiu is just worried about his master."

Although Fang Xin is still shaken, she believes whatever Fang Yu says.

"Okay, let's go home quickly, Uncle Liu is still waiting for us over there."

At the corner of the intersection ahead, Uncle Liu paced back and forth anxiously. When he saw the two return safely, he hurriedly went to greet them.

Uncle Liu asked, "Are you two sisters alright? Who were those people just now?"

Fang Yu glanced back at Xiao Jingqi's men leading the oxcart over and said, "Uncle Liu, it's alright. Those are bad people. They've already been taken away by the government officials. You should drive the oxcart back first."

Fang Yu cupped Fang Xin's face and rubbed it: "You go home with Uncle Liu first. You were frightened today, so don't go out to set up your stall. I'm going to check on the taro in the field and I'll be back soon."

Fang Xin recalled Fang Yu's heroic performance just now, so she wasn't worried and nodded: "Okay, then you should come back soon too, sister."

Fang Yu did go to the field to check on the taro. In just a short while, many people appeared in the field, all bent over digging taro.

When the woman saw her arrive, she came over warmly and held the freshly dug taro in her hands: "Girl, you've come! Look at these taro, they're big and lovely."

Fang Yu took it and played with it in her hands. The woman then asked, "When will you be arriving, young lady? Or where do you live? We can deliver it to your home for you."

With so many items, there's nowhere to put them even if they're delivered to my home, so I might as well store them all in my spatial storage.

Fang Yu looked up at the blue sky and white clouds before saying, "Auntie, there's no need to trouble yourself. Just put what you dug up in the ground. Someone will come and collect it after dark."

Fang Yu actually had another purpose. She had heard before that there was a piece of land in this village that was being sold for a very low price but no one wanted to buy it. It was said that nothing could be grown there. Since she was passing by, she wanted to see what was going on.

"Auntie, I have something to ask you." Fang Yu glanced at the surrounding woods before continuing, "I heard there's a patch of land in your village that can't grow anything. Do you know what's going on?"

“That piece of land,” the woman nodded and pointed in a direction: “It’s that area by the mountain. There’s a pond in the mountain, and the water is always hot, no matter what season it is. So the temperature in this area is very high, which is why nothing can grow in the land.”

温泉！

Fang Yu suddenly had a great idea. This piece of land might be useless to others, but it would be of great use to her.

"Auntie, could you please take me to see your village chief? I'd like to buy the piece of land you mentioned earlier."

The woman frowned, not understanding Fang Yu's words at all, but still kindly advised, "Miss, you won't be able to grow anything on that land even if you buy it, so don't waste that money."

Fang Yu smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Auntie. I didn't buy it to farm."

"What are you doing?" the woman asked instinctively.

Fang Yu smiled again: "Farming."

"Huh?" The woman scratched her head. She clearly understood what Fang Yu said, but why did it seem like she didn't understand?

The kind-hearted woman took her to the village chief. When the chief heard that she wanted to buy the land, he smiled as broadly as a steamed bun.

He was even more enthusiastic than a woman, wanting to take her to see that piece of land.

The hot spring is located in a place that resembles a cave but is not quite a cave. As soon as you get close, you can clearly feel that the surrounding temperature is much higher.

The hot spring inside the cave was still flowing; a stream of water flowed into the pool, which was very clear, and wisps of steam rose from the surface.

And let me tell you, after finishing the planting, coming here to soak in a hot spring sounds so relaxing.

"Young lady, how is it? Are you going to buy this land?" the village chief asked in a somewhat hurried tone.

"purchase."

Upon seeing the hot spring, Fang Yu decided she wanted to buy it.

By the time she returned to Xishan Village, it was already noon, and smoke was rising from the chimneys of almost every household in the village.

She quickened her pace to go back, but the courtyard was quiet. The blue bricks she had bought had already been unloaded and neatly piled up in the courtyard.

"Mother, Xin'er?"

Madam Li came out of the room: "Yu'er, you're back. Are you hungry? I'll go cook."

"Mother, where did Xin'er go?"

There was no one in the yard or inside the house, so Fang Yu was worried that she had gone to do something foolish again.

They had agreed not to tell Li about the robbery, which is why Fang Yu was even more worried.

“Xin’er went to the city to set up a stall by herself. I didn’t stop her. I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to find us when you came back, so I just let her go.”

In her subconscious, Li still felt that Fang Yu was the one with a weak and sickly body, and she felt even more worried and concerned about her.

"Mother, I won't eat. It's still early. I'd rather go to the city to see Xin'er."

She also wanted to check on Xiao Jingqi's condition, since she hadn't used that medicine on anyone yet, but it worked quite well on animals.

Li took a dry food cake from the stove and gave it to her: "Eat this to tide you over, and we'll buy you some of your favorite foods when we get to the city."

Recently, they have been going to the city more and more frequently, and Li has gradually become more at ease, so she has not tried to stop them too much.

Fang Yu hadn't even reached Tianxiang Tower when he heard Fang Xin's shouts.

"Look, take a look! Those fragrant grilled meat skewers are delicious and inexpensive..."

Fang Yu didn't rush over, but watched from a distance for a while. She hadn't realized before that Fang Xin was quite capable in doing business.

Once there were fewer people around, Fang Yu walked over and said, "You must be exhausted. Didn't I tell you you didn't have to set up your stall today? You disobedient girl, you even sneaked off here."

Fang Xin stuck out her tongue, clearly showing remorse: "Sister, I just wanted to earn more money. I'll definitely be careful."

Fang Yu patted her head and glanced up at the private room upstairs: "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go check if Lord Xiao is here."
