an he can see everything clearly.You still have to listen with your ears to hear the movements of a pack of wolves.Although Zong Bai believed in his older brother, he couldn't help but feel fear in hi...Even if Old Madam Wu and Ms. Liu were to make a scene, they couldn't possibly confront the entire village. Just as the two stood there anxiously, unsure what to do...

The Patriarch is here.

"Village Head Wang, what are you doing Taking advantage of my absence to bully my wife and daughter-in-law"

The villagers made way for Old Man Zong, but he kept his eternally grim face wherever he went, a sight that was truly frightening.

Many children avoid him when they see him.

Fang Jinshu felt ironic. The villagers spread the word that Zong Yu was a demon, but in her opinion, wasn't this old man Zong more like a demon than Zong Yu

It just feels uncomfortable.

The elder's seniority and age were after all greater than the village head Wang's, so before him, village head Wang's attitude was somewhat more restrained.

However, Li wasn't on their side, so Wang the village head didn't have much to fear.

"Uncle Zong, I didn't mean to harm them. Back when everyone was gathered in the village square, I made it clear that if anyone wasn't willing to contribute labor for digging the water channel, no one would have access to water afterward."

"Your guys came here to work for a few days, and then disappeared without a trace. I have to give an explanation to everyone, right"

He saw Old Zong nod, and his heart secretly let out a breath of relief.

Speaking to Old Master Zong is much easier than speaking to Old Madam Wu, it's not so tiring.

At least he understands.

When I told Old Lady Wu this, she wouldn't listen at all and always made excuses.

Fang Jinxiu saw that the old master was not at all worried. He was anxious about such a big matter as having no water to drink. Could it be that he had some other plan

Only then did Old Zong speak slowly, “The village head is right. Our family shouldn’t drink water if no one works.”

"I know the village opened the sluice gates to release water today, so I didn't come."

"I didn't expect my wife and daughter-in-law to secretly come here. It's my fault for not keeping an eye on them."

The villagers looked at each other, all puzzled.

When did Old Man Zong become so easy to talk to

Doesn't he really care that there's no water at home Not drinking water can be fatal, you know.

Someone suddenly whispered, "They wouldn't want to steal water while we were all asleep at night, would they"

"Acting nonchalant on the surface, but secretly sneaking sips of water behind the scenes!"

Many people found it reasonable and nodded in agreement.

Also, the village head Wang heard and his face changed.

"Uncle Zong, are you really serious about this"

He was also a little unsure what the old master meant today. He suddenly became so easy to talk to, which really took him by surprise.

The old man suddenly smiled, but it was a very cold smile that scared the children beside him!

Fang Jinshu originally only thought he was always pulling a face that made people uncomfortable. Now she realizes that when he smiles, it's even more uncomfortable.

< >Well, it's better to keep a composed face anyway.< >

"Not to mention drinking water, Village Chief Wang, I'm here today because there's another matter I want to discuss with you."

"Our family is considered a big landowner in the village. I know that after we have water, everyone will definitely start preparing to plant crops."

Hearing this, everyone in the village was stunned. Suddenly, everything around them fell silent.

Now that the issue of water has been resolved, the next step is naturally to focus on planting crops.

Zong Yu walked to Fang Jinxiu's side and suddenly heard her mumble a sentence.

"So the old master was holding back his big move all this time, waiting here."

"What's your big move" he whispered.

Fang Jinshi leaned into his ear, "Your grandfather probably wants to trade seeds for food with the villagers."

Then it all makes sense, no wonder Old Zong ignored the digging of the irrigation canal, it doesn't matter if his family members don't come to work.

Now every household has run out of their stored grain. Not only is there no seed left, but even a single seed husk is hard to come by.

Only Wang Zhuang's house had some remaining seed grain. Fang Jinshi estimated that even the remaining seed grain at Wang Zhuang's house was not enough for the whole village.

The elder probably had already thought of this, and for a while now, the people in the old house have been surprisingly quiet.

So you went to collect grainave to make things difficult for you.""Nephew, you weren't this violent before. Let's talk things out. We can even give you money!"Zongping was so frightened that he grabbed Lius and ran down the mou...
