irrigation canal keeps dropping. The adults must be very worried.""To solve this issue, there are only two methods. The first is to address it at the source by expanding the irrigation channels and i...Just as Fang Jinshu had finished her breakfast, someone came to her house from the village. Fang Dazhu couldn't take advantage of her in front of others, so he pulled a disgruntled and hungry Fang Jianren aside.

Because it was not someone else, but Zhao Quanfu, the village head of Fangjia Village.

"Zhao Village Head, what brings you to our humble abode" Fang Dachu was a real tough guy at home but when facing outsiders, he would put on a different face, smiling so wide that the wrinkles around his eyes were all visible.

While Village Head Zhao merely nodded slightly at him, after entering the room his eyes darted around. Upon seeing Fang Jinshu, he immediately beamed with delight and walked towards her.

"You are Fang's third son, Fang Jinshui, aren't you"

Fang Jinshu nodded. The original owner had always been very low-key when living in Fangjia Village and rarely interacted with the villagers.

Fangjia's heavy and numerous household chores also left the original owner with no time to socialize with others.

Every morning, as soon as she opens her eyes, she's faced with a mountain of chores. The moment she takes even a brief respite, Mrs. Wang sees it and either berates her mercilessly or assigns her a bunch of useless errands to complete.

Therefore, the people of Fangjia Village knew little about Jinxiu and had hardly spoken to Zhao Village Chief.

He probably wasn't here to support Fang Jianren's wedding.

"Uncle Village Head came looking for me, he must have something to say"

Fang Jinshi's social skills were far superior to the original owner's. She was graceful and poised, not shy or awkward. She immediately called him "Uncle," giving Zhao Village Chief a comfortable way down and breaking the previous strangeness between them.

Village Head Zhao was a little surprised. He had never seen it before, that the third daughter of the Fang family was such a refined young lady.

Just the word "uncle" made Zhao Village Head have a particularly good impression of her.

Next, Village Head Zhao's tone was also very amiable. After all, he did have a request of them this time.

"My dear child, you've grown so tall and graceful."

"Lao Fang, you're truly blessed! Your daughters are all beautiful and well-behaved."

Fang Dazhu was very surprised. Village Head Zhao was not easy to please. Whether it was before the drought or after, if Fangjia Village didn't have Village Head Zhao holding things together, the village would probably have fallen apart long ago. It's hard to say whether everyone could have survived until now.

Village Head Zhao had never really favored him, so this praise took Fang Dazhu by surprise.

He rubbed his hands together, wanting to say a few words to Zhao Village Head, trying to get on his good side. Maybe next month they could get a few more buckets of water allocated to their family.

Then, Chief Zhao just said it casually, a mere formality to make an appearance. After that, he went straight to the point and began discussing business with Fang Jinshiu.

Fang Dazhu didn't say a word.

"Jinxiu, Zhao Shu came to see you this time because he really wants to talk to you about something."

"Say, would it be convenient for you to come over to my place for a while"

Fang Jinshu and Zong Yu looked at each other, the couple vaguely guessed Zhao Village Head's purpose for visiting them.

But she didn't think it was a bad thing.

"Of course, Uncle Zhao. Please."

Village Chief Zhao hurriedly made a gesture of invitation, showing no airs in front of this young descendant Fang Jinxiu.

After they left, Fang Dazhu's face was as dark as thunder. This time, Fang Jianren didn't dare to make a sound anymore. Seeing his father's expression, he surprisingly learned his lesson.

"Father, Village Head Zhao has never been particularly close to the villagers. Why is he suddenly so courteous to that dead girl, Jinxiu"

"She even came to our house especially to ask her."

"Before the Jinxiu era, you weren't familiar with Zhao Village Head either, were you"

Fang Jianren was also very upset. How could he, a grown man, be considered more useful than Fang Jinshu, a young girl

Moreover, he is well-educated and literate. When Village Chief Zhao needs to discuss matters, he should consult someone like him, a young talent. What's the point of looking for some frivolous girl

"Father, what do you think Village Head Zhao wants to talk about when he called them"

Fang Jianren's eyes widened, his face suddenly changing color as if struck by lightning. He grabbed Fang Dach Zhu's arm tightly, his expression filled with panic.

"Father, that dead girl Fang Jinshu won't have told Zhao Zhuang about my and Liu's family affairs, will she"

"Headman Zhao is a very rigid person. If he knew, he would definitely report me to the authorities and have me arrested!"

"Dad, you have to find a way to get Fang Jinxiu back! I don't want to go to jail!"

For the first time, Fang Dazhu felt his son was utterly stupid and incompetent.

"If she wanted to report you to the authorities and get you arrested, she wouldn't have brought the Liu family here!"

"Jianren, you're over twenty now, can't you use your head a little more"

"Don't just keep your eyes on pretty girls all the time, alright"

"I'm still counting on you for the rest of my life, along with your mother."nly because of Master Liu and Miss Liu.""If you dare to yell at me again, I swear I'll beat you until you cry!"Fang Jianren was frightened and took a step back. Thinking about it, he felt that Fang Ji...
