Chapter 216: It's time to make arrangements for Zong Ba

Jinshu."Mother, what Yan'er said is true. You should go back and try your best to persuade Grandmother to give up on the idea of harming Jinshui," Zong Hu said with a serious face.If Ah Yu truly gets...Upon hearing that water would not be provided, several elderly men's faces changed color and they hurriedly chased after Wang Cunzhang's footsteps, leaving Zong Yu's home.

Only after they left did Zongbai begin to complain.

These old men's eyes are practically burning holes through our house, as if they want to inspect every inch of it! They just can't help but covet other people's belongings.

"What a nuisance!"

Fang Jinshu smiled and soothed Zong Bo, "Don't get angry, it's a good thing that Village Head Wang is a clear-headed person, this matter was resolved pretty well in the end."

"When the canal is dug later, just dig a small pond right here to store water. Our lives will be much more comfortable afterwards."

With water, one can grow crops and raise livestock to support their family.

Doing laundry, drinking water, taking a shower, everything is convenient.

At the thought of being able to return to that convenient life soon, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

Zong Bai excitedly rubbed his arms and asked, "So can I take a bath every day now!"

"Since the drought, I haven't had a proper wash. When it gets so bad that even I can't stand the smell, I use a cloth dipped in water to rub myself down, but it's not enough."

"Right now, I just want to take a long, refreshing shower and soak in the water for two or three hours!"

Zhong Yu smiled, perhaps because the matter was resolved smoothly, his mood was also good, he even heard him make a joke to Zhong Bai.

Then you have to soak it.

Fang Jinxiu and Zong Bai turned back in surprise to look at him.

Didn't she just mishear that Zongyu actually makes jokes too.

Zong Bai also seemed like he had just met his brother, his expression was exaggerated.

"Big brother, you, you wouldn't have been switched at birth, would you!"

"Is this still my elder brother who is taciturn, scolded by mother as a wooden stake every day"

"I need to go back and tell Mother that elder brother would actually make a joke like this."

Zong Yu making fun of his younger brother Zong Bei was originally quite amusing, but Zong Bei's reaction caused Fang Jinxiu to burst into laughter.

The humor level doubles directly.

"Zhong Bai, Zhong Yu is your older brother after all. Can you give him some face He just made a joke, don't make him so embarrassed that he never speaks again!"

Zong Bai nodded seriously, "Yes, yes, yes. What my sister-in-law said is right."

He walked over and patted Zong Yu's arm, "Big brother, seeing you like this today, younger brother is particularly pleased."

Zong Yu's temples were already visibly bulging with veins, he even regretted speaking those words.

"Zongbai, starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to come up the mountain with me. Stay at home every day and review your previous lessons."

Upon hearing this, Zong Bo's smile froze on his face, as if about to be petrified.

"Why Isn't it better to study at home than to work"

"You should really pick up the book again." Though Zong Bo reading wasn't something she had specifically discussed with Zong Yu.

But Fang Jinshu had never intended for Zong Bai to give up his studies.

She had heard her mother-in-law mention that her younger brother-in-law was very gifted at studying. Other children went to school day after day, year after year, through wind and rain, always going to the schoolhouse.

He studies so hard, but his grades are still worse than Zongbei's, who only works three days and rests two.

Always taking a half-year break in the first half of the year, if they run out of money, they stop going to school. When they have money again, they go back to school the following year.

The dean of the academy was fond of talent, and he uniquely granted Zong Bai a special case to pay his tuition in monthly installments.

Other students' tuition fees are paid once a year.

So, he was still afraid of losing Zong Bai as a student, always hoping that he would continue to appear in the academy.

Even if it wasn't to fulfill her mother-in-law's wish of finding her biological father in the capital, she didn't want to see Zongbo's talent wasted.an hand in the trap at the foot of the mountain.""Looking at the clothing, it must be those people."They found the village and tried to come down but were badly wounded by the traps, and finally ran a...
