Chapter 417: Absolutely Not Letting Them Have All the Fun

firsthand."Jinxiu, why did you go up the mountain with that person yesterday"Fang Jinshi smiled sheepishly, “I’m missing a few herbs, so I went along to gather some.”Did your sister-in-law come to see...The old woman felt something was amiss. She'd definitely hidden all the good things she bought in town.

Although the village isn't facing starvation or dehydration anymore, life hasn't gotten any easier. This is especially true for Wang, the village chief, who keeps making their lives difficult by using water as leverage against them.

The third daughter-in-law was finally pregnant, so she couldn't be made to drink yellow mud water any longer. In the end, the village elder gritted his teeth and took out dozens of jin of grain seeds and made a trade with Village Head Wang.

The matter of the ten mu of wasteland could only be left unresolved. He was so angry that he wanted to die, feeling like he had suffered a huge loss.

The entire village stood by Jinxiu, the little wretch, and turned against her.

Even the old man Zong, who lives in the county town, is envious of these good things.

At the foot of the mountain, there were many people. When they were busy, there was a lot of noise everywhere. Zong Pingkang hid behind a tree to secretly observe, and Fang Jinxiu didn't notice it.

The caravan brothers were working with villagers to count the supplies on the wagons. Especially the villagers, they were astounded by all these things.

Well, this daughter-in-law Zongyu is amazing! How did she get so many good things

It has almost everything you need: food, drink, and everyday items, even jars for pickling salted vegetables.

"Be careful when moving, the mountain road is difficult to walk on. You can move slowly, everyone must pay attention to the safety under your feet."

"Understood, Mistress Zong."

The villagers unknowingly changed their attitude towards Jinxiu. At first, no one took Zongyu, the cheap daughter-in-law, seriously.

Who knew that in just a few months, the entire village would depend on her for food

The government officials have all arrived. Everyone saw it with their own eyes this morning. The mountaintop will be renamed Zong from now on. This is a sure thing, isn't it

As soon as they heard this, the villagers were even more attentive to Jinxiu's instructions. They seemed to regard her as a landlord already.

"Village Chief Wang said, 'With a mountain this big, the clan will definitely need people to work on it in the future. Our villagers will have priority.'

"

Zongping Kang sneaked to the side, unnoticed by anyone. A box after another of Fang Jinshiu's good things passed before him. His eyes wanted to roll right into them; he had to take a closer look.

He trailed behind the villagers all the way, watching them carry things back before returning home to report to Old Zong.

"Dad! Dad! The second family is really prosperous now!"

There are so many good things here, food, drink, and everyday necessities – everything! You should go take a look. The second house is really going to be like a landlord!

Old Master Zong and Old Madam Wu, along with the Liu family and the couple from the third house, were all gathered in the courtyard. Everyone else in the village was busy farming, but not a single member of the Zong family's large household volunteered to do farm work.

Elder Head was still scolding Elder Three, "Your wife is pregnant now, if you don't work hard, what will your child eat when it's born"

"Besides me and your mother, we're both getting up there in age. You won't go down to the fields, are you going to make us old folks work to support all of you"

The old master was furious. This third son, he never realized how lazy he was before.

"Dad, Chunhua finally got pregnant with a son for me, of course I have to stay by her side every step of the way."

"She also needs me."

He shi grabbed her husband's hand and nodded repeatedly, the couple seemed quite united.

"That's right, Grandpa. Now that I don't have my third son by my side, I can't eat or sleep well. My daughter-in-law is scared inside."

Old Madam Wu had also endured this for too long. The eldest grandson moved out to start his own family, and the second branch became so arrogant they almost thought they were superior to everyone else. They no longer looked down upon them at all.

Now only the third son's family remained, and He shi's belly held the old house's only grandson.

Both the children of the eldest and second houses are disobedient. They subconsciously hope that the child in the third house will be able to support the whole family in their old age and until death.

Therefore, the whole family treats He as a treasure. They used to ignore her, but now they protect her everywhere.

Old Mrs. Wu hadn't yelled at her third daughter-in-law or given her chores for a long time.

If it weren't for Hu Ai-lan coming, she wouldn't have been able to bear with this life any longer.

"Old man, listen to what you're saying! Every woman has been pregnant and given birth. No woman can eat without a man or sleep soundly without one. You shouldn't be so shameless!"

She glared at He Shi with displeasure.

Zong Pingchuan ran in and blurted that out. Everyone in the family immediately turned their attention to him, forgetting about their argument.

He panted and ran excitedly in front of the elder, “Father, this trip to Old Two’s house in the county really brought back a lot of good things.”

Their family is going to get a promotion, we can't be left behind, letting them have all the fun by themselves!, and she must have been very distressed to make this decision."No, I believe Zong Hu has finally seen through his old man's true colors this time. He will agree."Wang Yaner nodded, she took the medic...
