Chapter 291 Where Gold Shines
ng the villagers who came to draw water.The moment they saw the tiger, they screamed and ran away."Goodness gracious, what is that Zong family boy holding in his hands""Oh my God, that's a tiger!""It'...Village Chief Wang flew into a rage, and Zhao finally knew to be afraid. Wang Qingshan was usually very easygoing and rarely showed off his authority in front of his daughter-in-law and son.
He didn't get angry, but he wasn't without anger. He walked up to Zhao.
They called you here to eat because they were giving me face. If you don't eat, just go home now. Who asked you to come out and embarrass me
"It was Chulan who stole things from our house, not Jinshu. Don't make a scene here and try to blame others."
Zhao Ruifang's eyes were red from being scolded. She cried out, aggrieved, "I'm not doing this for our family Couldn't I speak up if I suffered a loss"
"You're such a thick-skinned person!"
After shouting, she turned her head and ran down the mountain. Tiezhu looked this way and that, his face full of worry.
"Father, this."
The village head waved him over, and he chased after her, returning to Fang Jinshu with a look of deep apology.
"Jinxiu, your stepmother is just like that. You, you shouldn't be as petty with her."
"Since Uncle Wang has spoken, I naturally want to give you face," Fang Jinshi said with a smile.
"I have a way to solve Chunlan's problem."
"Sister-in-law, she's still trying to harm you even after coming down the mountain. Why are you still thinking of ways to help her" Zong Yulian said angrily.
"If you ask me, someone like this, with such crooked intentions, should just be kicked out of the mountain."
Fang Jinshi shook her head.
"No, absolutely not. We can't just kick them out."
Actually, Village Head Wang also had this thought just now. Anyway, Chunlan wasn't from their village. If this girl was a good and honest person, he could agree to give her a place to live in the village.
But she is so restless, she's likely to stir up all sorts of trouble in the village sooner or later. It's best to get rid of her.
Fang Jinxiu's thoughts were more far-reaching. Although she hadn't spoken yet, Zong Yu, with a heart that sensed her intentions, guessed what his wife was thinking.
Uncle Wang, it's very chaotic outside the village now. Fortunately, our village is in the mountains, and there hasn't been too much chaos here.
"If we drive Chunlan out of the village, what if she holds a grudge and brings outsiders in"
Upon hearing this, Village Head Wang suddenly realized.
Yes! Their village no longer lacks water. If outsiders knew they had water here, who knows what kind of disaster it would bring.
The water brought down from the mountain wasn't particularly abundant, but it was enough for their village because the population wasn't large.
If more people come, don't even talk about leveling the water to grow crops. I'm afraid that by then, we won't even be able to keep the right to use the pond.
When he thought about this, Village Head Wang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Absolutely not, we can't take this orchid outside."
But she keeps coming to our doorstep every day. They only managed to dig up a little bit of wild vegetables, not even enough to fill their teeth gaps, so they are just waiting for us to help them out. We can't drive her away, can we It seems like we have no choice but to take care of them then.
"Your aunt's place." Wang, the village head, looked quite embarrassed.
Fāng Jǐnxiù smiled, “Uncle Wang, didn’t I just say I had an idea that could help you”
What's the idea
"Now that there's water in the village, after every household has received their rations of grain seeds, they will definitely begin irrigating their fields to plant."
But many families have been suffering from this prolonged drought, their strength has greatly diminished. You could let Chunlan and the others go out to work for others in exchange for food.
At the very least, give them some grain to sow so they can learn to farm and grow their own vegetables.
"They can't expect others to support them their whole lives, can they"
"Yes, that's a good idea," said Wang, the village head. "Let them work to earn their food. Let them do whatever they can."
"You could also help people with chores, like looking after children."
In the end, they didn't finish the meal. Wang, the village head, felt embarrassed to continue staying at Fang Jinshiu's house and eating the hotpot.
Qin Chongyan watched Fang Jinxiu handle matters, unable to help but smile and nod in approval.
This girl, she's sharp and knows right from wrong. Most importantly, though her words might sometimes seem cold, she always puts everyone's safety first in everything she does.
Her ambition is as grand as any man's, and if she were born into a wealthy family, she would undoubtedly be the most prominent.
It's a pity to be born in this small village.
"What a shame about this hot pot. It was so delicious, ruined by such a trivial matter."
Qin Chongyan's words held hidden meaning, something others couldn't understand. Fang Jinshi, however, was perceptive and sensed it.
"No delay, good wine needs no bush. Gold shines wherever it is found."k of a way to save your brother, save our family."Fang Mingxia smiled wryly, "Mother, what can I do I think Jinshu's sister is right. This isn't something Big Brother brought upon himself."After finis...
