The sixth wife considered everything very thoroughly for him
but her heart was softer than her mouth.Even as the enemy's child, she had a compassionate and kind heart, unwilling to harm the innocent.Zong Yu didn't see through her, instead, he indulged her and...Village Chief Wang knew that asking Zong Yu for help at this time might not get him an answer, but he didn't want to see anyone else die in the village.
Since the drought began, several elderly people and young children in the village have died.
Young people are the hope of this village, he doesn't want them to be lost on the mountain, but this irrigation canal can't be left undone.
"Even if Uncle Wang begs you."
"Please help us." With that, he suddenly stood up and pretended to kneel before Zong Yu.
Tiete was astonished and hurriedly helped his father up.
"Father, what are you doing"
He was a villager just like us, wasn't it natural for him to dig the irrigation ditch with us
"Why should we kneel down to beg him"
Zhong Yu frowned and strode forward to offer Wang Chang, the village head, a helping hand.
"Uncle Wang, you don't have to do this."
"I, of my clan, am not one who is ungrateful. The great kindness you showed us back then we have never been able to repay."
"I know everyone in the village fears me. As long as you can persuade them to listen to my arrangements and not run around after entering the mountains, I promise to take them to dig the irrigation canal."
Fang Jinshu didn't quite agree with Zongyu agreeing to Wang Zhuang so easily.
As she wasn't familiar with the villagers, she naturally considered the matter from the perspective of reputation and its potential gains and losses.
The villagers didn't want to associate with Zongyu. Even if Wang, the village head, showed up, they might not listen to him.
On the mountain, it was so dangerous. Zong Yu only had two eyes and two fists; how could he possibly look after everyone's safety
If something goes wrong, everyone will blame him.
She stepped forward and pulled Zong Yu's sleeve. Zong Yu turned his head to look at her, only to see Fang Jinshu slightly shake her head.
It goes without saying, it's letting him know not to stop this.
It's okay to help dig the canal, but the ugly truth must be said upfront so that we don't have any disputes later if something goes wrong.
Good deeds often attract trouble.
Zong Yu thought Fang Jinxiu was worried about his safety and wanted him not to go. He smiled foolishly and patted her hand.
"Don't worry, I know the mountain well, it's safe."
The daughter-in-law was worried, he was secretly thrilled inside, but the daughter-in-law didn't seem to believe in his abilities, which made Zongyu a bit distressed.
Seeing that he didn't understand her meaning, Fang Jinxiu felt a little helpless.
Village Head Wang had finally relaxed, nodding at him with a pleased smile.
"Good, good, good. As long as you agree."
Now I feel much better.
"All the young people in the village, I've entrusted them all to you."
Hearing this, Fang Jinshu's brows furrowed even tighter. No, she couldn't just stand by and watch Zong Yu walk around with a ticking time bomb strapped to him.
"Uncle Wang, I think Tiezhu brother just said something right."
“We are all from the same village, and digging a canal is a great thing for the whole village. Of course, our family has to contribute.”
"Zong Yu definitely has to go."
"But, let's be frank about it."
"The reason you came to him, I think we both know."
"Digging a canal is not a one or two-day task. The terrain in the mountains is complex, and wild animals can also come out to forage during the day."
"With so many people going up the mountain together, Zong Yu can't possibly have eight eyes to watch everyone. What if someone disobeys and secretly runs around Who would be responsible if something happens"
"I can't blame my son Zongyu for this, can I"
Wang, the village chief, paused, a smile gradually freezing on his face.
"A virtuous daughter-in-law is what one should consider."
It was my oversight.
"So before we set off, I let everyone know beforehand that whoever didn't listen would face the consequences themselves."
Fang Jinxiu shook her head. "No, that won't work either."
"People are selfish. If they're seriously hurt, they will definitely want someone to compensate them."
"Even unreasonable requests would be fulfilled, let alone in these difficult times. For the sake of overcoming a stutter, anything is possible."
She wouldn't expect these people to be reasonable at this time.
When Zong Yu heard his daughter-in-law's words, he was stunned. His heart felt both warm and sour.
He didn't think of this at all. In the past, when he helped people in the village, there seemed to have been an incident where he was cheated out of money.
He found them annoying and was afraid they would cause a scene at home and upset his mother. So, he chose to pay them off to settle the matter and avoid further trouble.
Haven't gotten any cheaper.
Now that I think about it, he could actually come out on top.more.Fang Jinshui didn't stop him, she just tugged at the corner of her mouth, a little helplessly.They had only just entered the territory of Xixia when they encountered so many dangers. At this rate...
