Chapter 60: Remorse and Request

came running over. They weren't like Zong Hu and Tie Zhu who came with a helping heart.They're all just here for the excitement.After all, they had never seen the scene of Zong Yu hunting before, wha...Tie Zhu stared in astonishment, Zong Yu could actually get married

Although he didn't dare to say it outright, Fang Jinshu saw his thoughts from his face and frowned slightly.

"Dig a canal"

"Have you found the water source"

"Of course! I found it," Tiezhu puffed out his chest proudly.

"Elder Zong, even though your family lives on the hillside, you're still part of our village. My father said that when there is water, we all share it. We won't let any household in the village go thirsty."

"Alright, I'll go with you," Zong Yu nodded.

He turned his head to look at Fang Jinshu, wanting to tell her to sleep first and not have to stay up.

To her surprise, she was the one who spoke first.

"Let's go together."

"I might as well go see the village head, after all, I've married into this village. I'll be living here for a long time, so it's best to say hello and get acquainted with the villagers."

Upon hearing this, Zong Yu felt it made sense.

Let everyone in the village know that Fang Jinshu is his wife, so as to prevent any more looks like Tie Zhu's.

"Okay, let's go together."

Zong Bai sat at the door, smiling as he braided a hemp rope. “Go on, brother-in-law and sister-in-law,” he said. “I’ll keep an eye on things here.”

Zongyu led Fang Jinshu and Tie Zhu down the mountain.

I didn't see anyone when I went through the village.

The village head's house had an oil lamp lit. As Fang Jinxiu walked closer, she saw a group of short, dark-skinned middle-aged men.

Is this the village head

Zhong Yu respected him very much and called him "Uncle Wang" when he arrived.

"What's this" Village Head Wang stared at Fang Jinshu.

Without waiting for a reply, Fang Jinshi introduced herself with a big smile.

"Uncle Wang, I'm Zongyu's wife. I've only been here for a few days."

"Hello there."

Fang Jinxiu's bearing is graceful and elegant, her speech is polite without being overly formal, leaving people with a very comfortable feeling.

He nodded. “Since you’re here, come in with me.”

Fang Jinshu was a bit surprised. In the original owner's memory, people here almost never discriminated against girls in favor of boys.

He still thought that Village Head Wang would make her wait outside, using the excuse of talking business with men.

He actually offered her the chance to come along and listen too.

Zhong Yu whispered in her ear, “Don't be afraid, Uncle Wang is a good person.”

Back then, when the main family was going to drive their second branch out of the house, it was Uncle Wang who came just in time to settle things for them.

After all, it's a family affair, and Wang Shu doesn't want to interfere too much.

At that time, if it weren't for Wang Shu protecting his mother and waiting until he returned, the house halfway up the mountain might have been abandoned.

After entering the house, Wang's father and son sat opposite Mr. and Mrs. Zong Yu, and Village Chief Wang looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Tie Zhu told you about finding the water source, right"

Zong Yu nodded.

"Hmm."

"Well, I thought this was heaven's blessing for our village, a lifeline. Who knew the water source was up on the mountain"

Hearing this, Fang Jinshu's eyebrows raised slightly, and she instantly understood why Wang, the village head, had called Zong Yu to discuss this matter.

Although there are many young people in Mingming Village, why did they have to call upon Zongyu just to dig a water channel

The villagers all called him a demon, they were terrified of him.

Are you not afraid now

It turns out they were asking for something from them.

The only person in the entire village who dared to enter the mountains and wouldn't lose their life was Zong Yu.

They want him to lead the team to dig a canal.

"Uncle knows that these years you and your two younger siblings, along with your mother, have lived a hard life on the hillside."

"We weren't able to help you much either."

The Norimura family was poorer than every other household in the village. Even without drought, their harvest throughout the year could only barely sustain them.

Many households now rely on eating wild vegetables to survive.

They were all people who could barely protect themselves, and given their notorious reputation for cruelty, they spent years interacting with wild beasts. Villagers often saw blood on them, so frightened that they would retreat three feet away from him.

Not to mention that she also spoke up for them when a few people from the family's old house went to their place to cause trouble.have some face.Although the Zong family is broke, they still have food and drink at home. They won't starve, so who knows, she might turn things around.Hu Ai-lan hesitated, one voice in her head screa...
