Chapter 215: That's settled

ce when he spoke was deeper than usual, a touch raspy, irresistibly sexy."Don't move, I'll take you to wash up."Fāng Jǐnxiù blushed and asked, "It's so cold in the mountains at night, where are we goi...While the village head, Wang, seemed to be open to it, the other elders were not willing at all.

"The canal was dug for the village. Now that it's been dug to their doorstep, what does that mean"

They angrily questioned Fang Jinshu, "Didn't you say your family didn't need a water channel at all Now you're putting forward this condition."

"Well, what do you want"

"Could it be that all of us villagers will have to look at your family's face for even a drop of water from now on"

It's unnecessary for Jinxiu to argue with a few old men in the village about this matter, especially since Village Head Wang has already agreed.

We don't need to rely on water channels, after all, our family's reputation is that we dare to go up the mountains ourselves to fetch water.

But you probably can't.

"There's no room for negotiation on this. As for the irrigation canal being dug to my doorstep, why should I tell you how I want to use it"

She turned to look at Village Chief Wang, "Uncle Wang, there's one thing I can guarantee you. Even if the irrigation ditch is dug right up to my front door, I absolutely won't make things difficult for anyone in the village who comes to use the water."

"You want my family to continue working on the irrigation project, digging it towards the village but making it inconvenient for ourselves Then why should I contribute any further"

"That's all I ask. If you don't agree, then forget it."

The village head hurriedly shouted, "Agreed! Who said I didn't agree."

"They don't count their words, I am the headman of Nomura village."

The elders were so anxious that they had to physically pull Wang, the village head, back.

He waved his hand dismissively, “I know what you’re thinking, but there’s no such thing as a free lunch. We’re the ones who need their help. Even Jinxiu said that digging the canal here won't affect your access to water. What else could you possibly be dissatisfied with!”

Shouldn't we just make them angry and cut off contact with them entirely

They are so petty and obsessed with trivial matters, even for a short walk, they have to calculate everything!

"This, you village head doesn't know how to be a village head at all! He doesn't consider us at all!" The old man with a full beard was particularly angry and directly scolded Wang Village Head without regard for his face.

Village Chief Wang narrowed his eyes and glared at him with a menacing look.

"Old Hu, don't think I don't know what you mean."

Your house is at the southernmost end of the village, farthest from Zongyu's house. You have to walk a longer way to fetch water than others.

"You agreed to her even though you knew" Old Hu shouted angrily.

The village head, Wang, raised his voice and scolded him, "The irrigation ditch wasn't dug for your family alone! Would you like it dug right to your front door"

Lao HuTou was directly speechless after being scolded by Wang Village Chief with a single sentence.

He gave a cold glance over these old men who insisted on following him to Zong Yu's house.

"Don't you all think I don't know why you're here today In the matter of the canal, don't any of you try to play tricks or have ulterior motives. "

"The requirements of the Zongyu family, I think, are not excessive. They contributed the most, and without the Zongyu family, we wouldn't have been able to dig this irrigation canal in our village."

"What's wrong with digging right at their doorstep This isn't far from the village."

Besides, Wang, the village head, also considered that even if they didn't dig to Fang Jinshi's doorstep, if the irrigation canal reached the foot of the mountain, it would still be closer to some villagers than others.

Sometimes it is inconvenient to use water.

It's better to agree with Fang Jinshu and place the water channel intake near her home than to argue later. At least her family has a legitimate reason.

The villagers were not unreasonable either.

The village head, the more he thought about it, the more he felt this was the most appropriate course of action. After scolding those old men, he put on a smiling face and walked in front of the couple.

"Then that's settled. Tomorrow, let Zong Yu continue to lead the team."

Fang Jinshu nodded, "No problem, Uncle Wang, that's settled then."

Since he readily agreed, the matter was dropped. She didn't want to make things difficult for Village Head Wang, knowing that it wasn't easy for him.

Several elders still had something to say, thinking that since they had agreed to such a major happy event for their family, the clan's reputation should offer something more.

Several pairs of eyes were constantly searching for the shadow of wild boar meat.

Just as he was about to speak, Wang, the village head, found them too bothersome. They were always picking on him for no reason. He walked out the door first, turned back with a cold face and shouted angrily.

"Are you leaving or not If you don't leave now, you won't be allowed to come back for water!"

Chief Wang still holds considerable authority and influence when it comes to water matters. Although Zongyu did the heavy lifting, it was Chief Wang who had been meticulously planning and organizing this whole endeavor.on't interfere.""There's a measure in her mother's heart.""It was Zong Lao San who killed your father, there's no doubt about that, but he could have chosen to endure like most families in the village...
