Chapter 101: Even the Only Water Source Is Gone

ng for an opportune moment to attack their prey.""Pay close attention to places where the grass is tall. Be on guard for any signs of movement."We aren't far apart. If anything unusual happens, just w...Zongyu threw the thing on his shoulder heavily onto the ground in the courtyard.

Jong Bai remembered his elder brother's instructions this morning. He was supposed to stay home and help his sister-in-law with the vegetable field, but he ended up going up the mountain with the irrigation ditch digging crew.

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, it took me this long to get back."

Fang Jinxiu didn't take it seriously at all. Her eyes immediately fell on Zong Yu. The two met each other's gaze, and Zong Yu's eyes were bright with a smile.

She only cared about Zongyu's opinion of her lunch.

But looking at this, it's obvious she was satisfied, but she still wanted to hear him say it.

"Is the food delicious"

Zong Bai hurriedly handed over the empty basket, "It's delicious! Big brother ate it all clean."

Zong Yu glared at his younger brother, but unfortunately, Zong Bai, the clueless fool, didn't notice.

He nodded and smiled at Fang Jinshu.

"Hmm, tasty."

Fang Jinxiu was satisfied and told them to go inside quickly.

"Dinner is bamboo shoot stir-fry with meat again, won't that get tiresome"

The two brothers quickly shook their heads, joking that they were so touched by the delicious food at this time that they almost cried. Who would dislike it

Then go wash your hands and hurry inside to eat.

She shifted her gaze and saw a lump wrapped in a burlap sack on the ground. She asked curiously,

"What is this"

Zongyu was reluctant to use clean water to wash his hands. He saw Fang Jinshi put the water used for cooking and washing vegetables in a wooden basin and left it aside. Understanding her unspoken intention, he washed his hands with that water.

Zong Bai learns from others.

My sister-in-law said that if you don't wash your hands before eating, you'll get sick sooner or later.

He didn't understand, but he knew following orders was the right thing to do.

Some animal bones I found on the mountain, maybe I can sell them for a few dollars.

Fang Jinxiu lost interest immediately upon hearing it was animal bones, and nodded before walking into the house.

When Mu saw his sons safely return home, the big stone in his heart finally dropped.

I asked them with a smile, "Was your trip up the mountain today alright Did you really find a water source on top"

As soon as the water source was mentioned, Zongyu frowned.

Zong Bai said angrily, “Tie Zhu found the water source that was the Big Brother’s usual place to draw water.”

"Even though that water puddle was flowing, it wouldn't be enough for all the households in the village to use at the same time."

If this canal is dug down, the water there will eventually run dry.

This is not good news, the Mu family's face immediately became much heavier.

She fell silent for a moment, then sighed, “Since it’s been found, our family can’t keep it all to ourselves.”

"The water there doesn't belong to our family anyway. There are so many people in the village waiting for water to save their lives. Dig if you want."

Zong Bai also understood this truth, but he felt a little heartbroken. The water source didn't belong to their family anymore, and using water would probably be even more tense in the future.

Chief Wang said that to prevent others from also coming to grab this water source, after the canal is dug, people also need to take turns going up the mountain during the day to watch it.

The villagers were ecstatic, their descent from the mountain a stark contrast to their grim ascent.

Fang Jinxiu also sighed, in that case, her desire for a bath was completely shattered.

Well, let's take it one step at a time.

"Let's eat first. Your dishes will get cold if you wait any longer." Mu Shi picked up her chopsticks and said.

"Today's a wonderful day, she even found some bamboo shoots behind our house! Those bamboo shoots are really delicious."

After a few days of medication, Mu's appetite was better than when he first fell ill, and besides, it seemed like he hadn't eaten such normal food in a while.

Even she ate half a piece of cake and half a bowl of vegetables at noon.

Mu felt reluctant to eat more, always thinking of leaving some for her two sons who were working outside.

Zongyu stole another glance at his wife and was caught by Fang Jinxiu's eyes.

Now both of them have a good feeling for each other. Fang Jinshu thinks that if nothing unexpected happens, being Zong Yu's wife would be pretty good too.

After all, such a good man is really hard to find even with a lantern.

Every time Zong Yu saw Fang Jinxiu's pretty face, he couldn't help but imagine the two of them kissing.

Since the daughter-in-law doesn't resist at all, does that mean she wants to stay and live a simple life with himt found him annoying and wanted to swindle some money from him.I didn't intend to bankrupt anyone."There's no rush about the silver, just hold on to it for now." But she couldn't possibly say no."Ple...
