Chapter 213 What Conditions Are You Talking About

vy silver in her hand, then at the dozen or so pounds of meat and bones at her feet."This, all of this is for me"Fang Jinshu nodded. "That's right, since Zong Hu ge doesn't agree to split the family,...Village Chief Wang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Before he could even begin to speak, things were spiraling out of control in the worst possible way.

He begged his grandpa and grandma, turning to several elders and pleading with them to stop talking.

Does it matter to them who is in charge of the family's reputation

Could it be that their purpose in coming today wasn't about the irrigation canal What business do they have discussing who's in charge of whose household

"I beg you all, please just be quiet."

This time, Village Head Wang walked directly in front of Fang Jinshi. He was the only one who took Zong Yu's words to heart and started discussing with Fang Jinshi instead.

"Jinxiu, Wang Shu is truly not easy. Look at me, at this age, I still have to work hard and worry so much."

"Just for Uncle Wang's sake, don't hold a grudge against those old fogeys."

Fang Jinshu smiled at Wang, the village head, "Wang Shushu, rest assured. I always separate matters from people. I keep track of who makes me angry, and I never involve unrelated things or people."

Seeing that Village Head Wang was calm and could still smile, he felt relieved.

As long as you don't get angry, there's still something to talk about.

"About that irrigation ditch" he tentatively inquired.

That day, Fang Jinshi said as she left his house, "Come over for a visit when you have time."

Since Wang, the village head, was able to become the village chief, his mind certainly wasn't that simple.

If he wasn't mistaken, Jinxiu's attitude toward this matter shouldn't be as heartless as she said. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked him to come over and sit at her place.

Isn't this just letting him keep coming to find them to talk

It must be conditional.

Thinking about this, Village Head Wang hurriedly spoke up, "Jinshiu, as long as you agree to let Zongyu continue helping the village dig irrigation canals, I can agree to any condition you have."

Any conditions can be met!

Everyone was astonished by Wang Cunzhang's promise.

"Old Wang, you can't just talk nonsense like that!"

What should we do if this dead girl starts saying she wants to be village chief Should Old Wang just step down and let her have the position

They certainly wouldn't want to live under the control of a woman forever, having a woman manage the entire village—is that even conceivable!

"I'm not just saying this casually," said the village head, his face grave.

"Last night, I thought about it all night."

What could be more important than the survival and safety of every villager in this entire village

"If we could bring the water down now, not only would the villagers survive, but they might even be able to grow crops like vegetables and sweet potatoes with it. If they ration their food carefully, they might just make it through the winter."

"But if there's no water, by winter our village will probably just become a ghost town!"

"Compared to the lives of all the villagers, even if you wanted my position as village head, I would willingly give it up with both hands."

"As long as you agree to dig the irrigation ditch, I'll do anything for you." Wang, the village head, said this, causing everyone in the courtyard to fall silent.

Even the elders lowered their heads in shame.

Yes, if the village is gone, who cares about the village head

At this moment, several old men finally shut their mouths for good. They had reached a desperate point, and they needed to rely on others just to survive.

What use is there in arguing about this compensation further.

Fang Jinshi respected the village head from the bottom of her heart. She smiled.

"Uncle Wang, what do we need your position as village head for We're not going to manage the village anyway."

"Since you've already brought it up to this point, I won't beat around the bush."

"Digging a canal was originally a great deed to benefit the village and save everyone's lives. Logically, we should actively help the village dig it together."

"But since everyone relies on my family's reputation for this matter, they wouldn't even bother to help when he might be missing."

"We are truly heartbroken."

We are also ordinary people, not gods or prime ministers. We can't repay grievances with virtue.

"So about continuing to help the village dig irrigation ditches, I do have one condition."

"As long as you can represent the village and agree to my terms, I will let Zongyu continue digging."

When Village Head Wang saw Fang Jinshi finally willing to speak, he hurried and asked. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

What conditions are you talking about!re preserved food, so I changed my mind and decided to store them all up. I'll keep them for later and eat them slowly. That's much better than selling them off cheaply."Zongyu listened for a long tim...
