The atmosphere was perfectly set

scolded them for a while and then slammed the door shut with a bang.The old man kicked Zong Pingkang twice, making him behave. Then he walked to his daughter-in-law Liu's side."Don't cry, as long as...Wang, the village head, felt his face burning with embarrassment and couldn't bring himself to respond to Fang Jinshu's words.

She didn't mean to make things difficult for Village Head Wang, she just couldn't swallow this feeling of injustice. Why did the villagers come here to play the victim The village head knew this was wrong, but he still insisted on bringing it up with her

Who gets to be unreasonable

"Uncle Wang, I don't want to make things difficult for you."

"Today I'm just here to deliver some meat. We'll talk about everything else once my Zongyu is rested."

Although everyone is safe back, I've been really drained lately. Working day and night to dig the irrigation ditches for you all, and then disappearing into the mountains for a whole day just to come back.

"I need at least three to five days of rest before we can talk about anything else."

Hearing Fang Jinshu say this, the villagers were immediately anxious.

"Three or five days"

"We couldn't possibly wait three or five days! We thought the canal would be dug quickly so we could have food and water. But now we’ve eaten and drunk everything we had."

My wife even bought a bag of vegetable seeds for a few coins, waiting to plant some vegetables once there's water so we can have something to tide us over in an emergency.

"Our family is the same. We go up the mountain every day to bring back some wild vegetables and insect meat to eat, and the water we drink comes from the mountains as well."

"Climbing for three to five days without food or water would be fatal!"

Isn't that right

That's what I mean.

Everyone erupted in a cacophony of complaints, all talking at once.

Fang Jinshi remained unmoved, only letting out a cold snort.

Village Head Wang was nudged by someone, subtly signaling him to approach Fang Jinshu and persuade her to shorten the period of rest for her family's reputation.

This little move was also seen by Fang Jinshu.

Before Wang, the village head, could speak, she spoke first.

Let me remind you again, when I said three to five days, it's because I feel my husband needs these few days to rest and regain his energy.

"I didn't agree to have him come down and help you dig the irrigation ditch in three or five days."

"I said, you guys figure out the irrigation ditch yourselves, our family isn't involved anymore."

"Anyway, we don't lack water living in the mountains. If you have the ability, go up the mountain and fetch water yourselves."

The atmosphere was charged to the point where it was almost unbearable. Fang Jinshu saw everyone's anxious faces turning red, and if she hadn't been mindful of her imposing presence after reprimanding Li Gou just now, they would have forgotten all about getting their meat from her.

These people wouldn't dare be as docile as they are now, their faces flushed red with shame. They wouldn't even dare to mock and belittle her like they did at the beginning.

She smiled at Wang, the village head, "Uncle Wang, come visit my place when you have time. I deal with things, not people."

Village Head Wang was originally full of worry, afraid that if he spoke up for the villagers and asked Zong Yu to come down, he would offend Fang Jinxiu.

To Wang Chang's surprise, the other person wasn't angry at all. Instead, they said that it was a matter of principle, not personal feelings. Wang Chang sighed in admiration for Fang Jinxiu's broad mind, while secretly feeling ashamed of his own actions.

He's certainly not an ordinary person.

Helping the villagers do such unconscionable things, Zong Yu spent a day and night in the mountains, certainly without closing his eyes or eating anything.

Finally back, he didn't even say to go see people. The moment he opened his mouth, he pressured him to get to work. Village Chief Wang began to reflect, feeling that he was indeed a bit too harsh.

Fāng Jǐnxiù waved at the Chang River, "Let's go."

Tiezhu's mother came out of nowhere, snatched the meat from Wang, the village head's, hand, and was beaming with joy.

"I just knew my son was a capable one, so much meat on him!"

When Fang Jinxiu was around, Zhao Ruofang dared not appear. Now that she's gone, she immediately showed up, looking at the meat in her hand and unconsciously swallowing her saliva.

It's been a long time since I had meat because of the drought.

Everyone has used their money to buy grain, who knows when this drought will end. We can live without meat, but we can't live without grain.

Te Zhu glared at his mother angrily, "I don't have that much ability to earn this much money back."

"Didn't you still stop me from going then Now you know how generous your sister-in-law is, right"

After he finished speaking, he turned back and informed Village Head Wang with a nod, then followed Fang Jinshu's steps out.

The villagers also wanted to chase after Fang Jinshu, but the story was left unfinished halfway. They were in a hurry!

What on earth would it take for them to let Zongyu come back down and continue digging the irrigation channel

I can't believe they just don't care!

Village Chief Wang rushed to stop everyone, “I’ll see who dares to go!”

"Don't you think I'm annoying enough already"e. However, her body is definitely not what it used to be.Just as she was carefully considering how to tell her family about this, Zong Bo came back.Fang Jinxiu was shocked, Zong Bai looked haggard. W...
