Chapter 111 Then Let's Not Dig

o longer afraid of Xiaohua because they see how obedient and well-behaved she is. If Xiaohua causes any harm, even if she wanted to stay, she probably wouldn't be able to.After all, who would want to...The mountain road is hard to travel, if we don't hurry up and dig a water channel, when will we be able to drink water

"Besides, it's so dangerous in the mountains. Every day we stay here increases the risk. Zongyu, tell me yourself, what brings you and your wife here"

"Walking back and forth along the way, we wasted a lot of time for everyone!"

Zongyu glanced at the man, his expression couldn't be colder.

"If you're not happy with my arrangement, you can go up the mountain and dig a canal yourself."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room fell silent. Who would dare to go up the mountain alone There are wild beasts in those mountains.

The villagers found Zongyu cold and unapproachable. Though they spoke to him, their tone lacked any real force.

"Zongyu, we are at least from the same village. How can you speak to me like this"

You promised the village head, Wang, that you would protect our safety.

Fang Jinshu was quite surprised that Zong Yu would speak so directly. Every time someone from the Zong family's ancestral home came to cause trouble, he always remained silent.

She still thought Zong Yu was the kind of person who was too kind and wouldn't want to offend others, so he always silently endured being bullied.

It seems not. It turns out he can also fight back, and his attitude is quite tough.

"I only agreed to lead Uncle Wang's team up the mountain to dig a water canal. Listen to me so I can protect your safety."

As for when the irrigation ditch will be finished, I have not made any promises about a deadline.

If you find my pace too slow, you can leave the group and climb the mountain on your own.

The villagers, stimulated by Zongyu's cold attitude, gradually began to raise their voices and became agitated.

"You, Zongyu! You think you're so great just because you know the mountains like the back of your hand and are good at hunting. Look at you, strutting around!"

"If you have the guts, wait until the irrigation ditch is dug and then don't use it!"

Fang Jinxiu looked at him protecting her, knowing that his hardened attitude was all for her. She coldly scanned the young man speaking before her and walked forward.

Funny, why shouldn't we use it

"This job wasn't originally my husband's idea."

"After digging the water channel, it only benefits those living in the village. Our family lives on the hillside and may not be able to use the water from down there."

Since you've said so, we won't dig the irrigation canal then.

She stopped talking, and the faces of everyone present turned pale with fright.

Zongyu also listened to his wife very much and nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, no more digging."

That water source was originally discovered by them alone. If Zongyu wasn't willing to lead the team, even if the villagers found the mountain spring, no one would have had the courage to go up the mountain to dig a channel and bring the water down.

Then their family can use the water source independently again, without having to share it with so many people in the village. Wouldn't that be better

What did they say Zongyu hadn't resolutely agreed to protect the villagers who came up the mountain to dig canals, as requested by Wang, the village head.

After being scolded by his father when he got home, Tiezhu finally started to see things clearly. Once he figured out the key point, he changed his opinion of Zongyu quite a bit.

This would hurriedly come out to smooth things over, fearing that the couple might really walk out.

"Brother Zongyu, don't be impulsive."

"After such a long drought, everyone is finally seeing hope for survival. You know how important this water source is to the village."

"My words might have been a bit too hasty. Brother Zongyu, you are a magnanimous person, don't mind them, alright"

Seeing that Zong Yu remained unmoved, Tie Zhu turned his head to look at Fang Jinxiu, realizing she was the one in charge. He quickly shifted his attention back to her and continued pleading for mercy.

"Sister-in-law, please, we really can't do without Brother Zong leading the way."

Fang Jinxiu glanced at the young man who had just said she was a burden. Tie Zhu immediately dragged the dog over.

He was the village head's son and most likely the next village head. The younger generation in the village basically looked up to Tie Zhu, and when the young people encountered Tie Zhu, their attitude immediately wilted.

"Dog, apologize to your sister-in-law and Brother Zongyu immediately."

A young man named Gouzi had a stubborn look on his face, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

"I didn't say anything wrong either, why should I apologize."

Tie Zhu's aggressive attitude drove Zong Yu away. Who among these people would dare to run into the mountainsr rushed over.His expression was still somewhat grave."Young Master, perhaps you could come out first The old servant has something very urgent to report."Zhao Xingzhou frowned. Jinxiu had just woken...
