Chapter 303: They're all a bunch of people who love to

hether it's true or not remains to be verified."On our way to Yulian, I told her about my mother's illness. She said that her sister-in-law happened to know a bit of traditional Chinese medicine and h...Fang Jinshu laughed disdainfully, glanced at the Wang family's courtyard and then feigned surprise, "I don't seem to have taken a wrong turn, have I"

"It's not like I went to my ancestral home. What's there for grandpa to be surprised about"

"If you can come to find Village Head Wang, why can't I"

Master Zong was here to see Village Head Wang about the grain seeds, he doesn't have time to waste talking with Fang Jinshi.

Wang Qingshan, this fellow, sent people to watch by the pond, saying it was to maintain order for villagers drawing water, but in reality he was just preventing his own family members from going there to draw water!

He wouldn't budge on the several conditions he requested, so their clan had no water for a day. Now that every household has access to clean water, his family is still parched.

After the village had clean water, although the Zong family hadn't gotten to drink it yet, they no longer drank the dirty and deadly yellow mud water.

Unless you were truly desperate, who would drink that.

Yesterday night, Zong Laotou tossed and turned all night without sleep. Fang Jinshi, that dead girl, was right. He had the grain but no water. The grain wouldn't sprout and couldn't be planted in the ground. It would be useless even if he had it.

Fearing that things might change overnight, he hurried over to get a sense of what the village head, Wang, was thinking.

Now seeing Fang Jinshu come out of the Wang family, I feel even worse.

"Humph!" He strode past Fang Jinshi, his steps somewhat hurried.

Fang Jinshu raised an eyebrow, it seemed that Old Zong wasn't as calm as he appeared. He was starting to panic.

Does he really think that little bit of grain in his hands can cause much of a stir

Just now, Fang Jinshi heard from Wang, the village head, that the villagers disagreed with selling her the wasteland. That's why she seemed a bit agitated when she came out.

This group of ignorant villagers, having received so much benefit from her, how dare they obstruct her purchase of the wasteland

The part of the mountain near the village limits belongs to the village. Although the ownership is in the hands of the government, if everyone in the village disagrees with her buying the wasteland, Village Head Wang can't really help her get it done.

Last night, Village Head Wang thought about it and decided to go to the village first to discuss this matter with a few elders. They all disapproved of selling the barren mountain to Fang Jinshiu.

It seems like they want her to contribute financially, making sure the village benefits as well.

The barren mountain is being sold, and the government, due to legal regulations, does have to give the village some share of the silver. However, Wild Village is remote, and no one has the guts to buy such a large mountain.

As such things had never happened before, the villagers naturally had never enjoyed the benefits of buying up barren mountains.

As long as it involves interests, the elders live long and see more, each of them is a shrewd person. Wang, the village chief, hadn't thought of this before.

The elders didn't mention it, and he almost forgot about it.

Now that I've told Fang Jinshu, and he also guaranteed that he would do his best to lower her costs and not ask for too much from the elders.

Fang Jinxiu was angry. These clan elders clearly wanted to cheat her, and what happened last time would probably also be brought up when she bought the wasteland, making things difficult for her.

Things didn't go well, of course she was upset.

But just now, seeing Elder Zong, Fang Jinshi suddenly had a brilliant idea.

The villagers are now suffering from a severe shortage of food. Compared to their current predicament, she had never intended to rush into resolving the matter of the barren mountains.

It's also unknown who will outlast whom.

Actually, she had already planned that if she bought the barren mountain, once everything was settled, she would take charge of the village's grain planting.

Yu Sheng's trading caravan definitely came at that time. The list of supplies Yu Sheng had given them included a lot of grain, vegetable seeds, and even fruit tree saplings.

There was enough to share among the villagers.

But now, these people are being foolish and using this to threaten her.

Fang Jinxiu decided not to let them have it easy. This group of people wouldn't cherish things that came easily, and they might even take it for granted.

Then we'll let them come begging to us, crying for help. Only then will we give them grain, and they'll be so grateful they'll think they owe us everything.

Fang Jinxiu didn't want this. She just wanted to live a peaceful life with the villagers, but they always seemed to come looking for trouble with her.

Ugh, they're all a bunch of people who love to make things difficult for themselves.o cold to Elder Brother Zong Hu.""I know you've never liked me, so I won't hold it against you. But Zong Hu is your grandson, the one you raised with love. If he were awake now and saw what you're doi...
