Chapter 281: All of You Come Back to Me

heavily.On one side was the funeral of his own mother, on the other was Zong Hu, a brother who had shown him immense kindness. Both sides were pulling at him equally, and he couldn't let go of either....The elder just smiled. In his eyes, a young man like Wang Tiezhu was still too immature, not qualified to speak to him at all.

He looked directly at Village Head Wang, "Things are in chaos outside right now. Almost all the shops in town are closed, and you can't even buy seeds with money."

"Right now, I'm the only one who has it. Compared to the lives of these villagers, my demands aren't excessive, are they"

The old patriarch was certain that Village Chief Wang would definitely compromise, and he wasn't in a hurry. After speaking, he just waited on the side.

Fang Jinxiu frowned. Luckily, she and Zong Yu had discovered another water source beforehand. They absolutely wouldn't drink the water from the pond in front of their house. This water flowed down from the mountain, and animals from the mountains definitely wouldn't miss the chance to drink this accessible water.

Some small animals might even go in for a roll and a bath.

In contrast, the water in the mountain stream and pond was much cleaner. With a better option available, she naturally wouldn't let her whole family drink from the pond water anymore.

So Fang Jinshi didn't say anything when the elder patriarch put forward these conditions, and it wouldn't have affected her anyway.

But he did remind Fang Jinshu of the matter concerning the wasteland.

Now, there's famine everywhere. The fields are practically useless, nothing can be grown.

She doesn't have such lofty sentiments to talk about not spending national funds. It's real money, and she's not giving away ill-gotten gains.

It's true that she could stockpile land. She has far more water resources than Old Master Zong.

Fāng Jǐnxiù's heart was filled with a bold thought.

When Wang, the village head, heard Elder Zong's request, he instinctively glanced at Fang Jinshi. He saw that the girl was silently bowing her head.

Realizing that his first instinct when facing a problem was to seek help from this girl, Village Chief Wang couldn't help but chuckle wryly.

When he lived more and more backwards, Jinxiu was skilled but the matter of food supply couldn't be solved by one person.

He turned to look at Elder Zong, who had been waiting for his answer all along.

"How's it looking, Village Head Wang If you pass by my village, there won't be my shop anymore."

Although Fang Jinshui had no intention of vying for the pond in front of her, she couldn't bear to see the people from the old house being so arrogant and complacent in front of her.

"This can't be right," she said, and the village head immediately brightened his eyes, as if he had seen a savior.

The elder also looked over. The moment she spoke, he felt a chill run down his spine.

But this time he didn't believe Fang Jinshi could still find a way, enough grain for all the households in the village to survive. It wasn't a small amount.

Fang Jinshu smiled, "There is water in the village, but not enough grain seeds. Although you have plenty of grain seeds in your hands, you have no water to use them."

According to the rules set by Village Head Wang at the beginning, your family is not qualified to use the water in this pond, so...

She grinned, her smile like a fox's.

"Grandpa, you're being too fanciful. Do you really expect to buy ten acres of land in the village for just two taels of silver"

As soon as Wang the village chief heard it, he immediately understood.

That's right! How could he have not thought of that Even if Old Zong has grain seeds, what use are they if he doesn't have water He couldn't even grow them with all the seeds in the world!

"Jinxiu is right, you have grain and I have water, we can totally exchange with each other."

The old patriarch was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned as dark as charcoal.

Looking at Fang Jinshi's eyes, I wanted to kill her. My teeth were gritted so hard, if only I could sew her mouth shut!

But Wang, the village head, broke into a wide smile.

"Uncle Zong, about this water issue, actually I didn't intend to make things difficult for your family at first."

"If the stepmother hadn't brought Liu shi over to make such a fuss, everyone wouldn't have been so angry and dug up old grudges."

Fāng Jǐnxù was delighted, Wáng Cūnzhǎng was amazing! He even gave a sweet date after a good whack.

The elder snorted heavily and shouted directly.

"Don't get too cocky! We'll see who lasts longer. If you don't agree to my terms, I won't give you any seed. Big deal, we can all just go find water to drink!"

"I wonder how long you all can last."

He left in a huff, and Wu and Liu looked reluctantly at the pond.

"Grandpa, where are we going to find water to drink"

They still didn't want to leave, only to hear Master Zong roar from afar.

"Aren't you ashamed of yourselves! Get back here!" to murder in the suburbs of Beijing"Zong Yu's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, she couldn't tell why she had a bad feeling in her heart."Drive!""Hurry up."He spurred his horse to speed toward Jinshu...
