g, no one from your family has participated in digging the irrigation canal.“So, you guys are just ignoring what I said before You think those words were just wind I told you, if you don't dig the can...When everyone had quieted down, Fang Jinshi continued from where she left off.

"I know that some of you are still struggling to make ends meet, but for anyone who comes to work here, our family will provide a hearty lunch at noon, ensuring that everyone is well-fed. We'll never skimp on the food."

"Also, if you find any food or useful items while working on the mountain, although you cannot take them home, you can hand them over to your team leader in exchange for corresponding rewards."

Hearing this, the villagers' eyes lit up instantly, and someone immediately wanted to ask what the reward was.

Iron Pillar heard the commotion behind him and turned to glance at them. "All of you keep quiet and wait until the master has finished speaking before asking questions,"

This rule obviously couldn't make everyone adapt immediately, but it still had an effect. After Tie Zhu’s reprimand, the crowd instantly became quiet again.

"Rewards are determined by what you submit. The greater the value and usefulness, the better the rewards you can receive."

"Food, medicine, cloth, thread, anything your household needs, you can come and exchange."

Once Fang Jinshui finished speaking, the villagers pondered for a moment before nodding their heads in agreement.

That's a good idea. If Fang Jinshu really gave them copper coins, they wouldn't be able to spend them anyway. It would be more convenient to exchange them for tangible goods directly.

"Last but not least, as I mentioned before, without rules there can be no order. A country has its laws, and a family has its own rules."

"Since you are all willing to work for our family, you naturally have to abide by our family rules. I will have the head steward send out a list of regulations for you to follow shortly."

"As announced by the foreman to each of their respective squads, if there's anything unclear, as always, go to the foreman first. If the foreman can't solve it, then come to me or Zongyu."

"Did you all hear me"

Everyone nodded quickly, understanding what was said, but they were unsure about the rules. Were they expected to work from dawn till dusk every day

Many people are feeling uneasy.

Fang Jinshi announced the names of three managers.

"Wang Tiezhu, Song Changhé, Li Yuanchun."

When Tie Zhu heard Li Yuanchun's name, a look of surprise flashed across his face. He immediately turned his head and looked around for Li Yuanchun's figure, and then saw him in the second row.

Li Yuanchun wasn't from their village, how could Jinxiu allow an outsider to be in charge.

Tie Zhu just raised an eyebrow slightly, since the person selected by Jinxiu's sister-in-law was definitely someone reliable. There was no need for him to question her choice.

But some people don't have such an open mind like Tie Zhu. When Li Yuanchun's name was called out, the villagers started to buzz again.

Li Yuanchun was quite happy at first. When his name was called, he followed Tiezhu and stepped out to stand before Fang Jinshi.

Before the smile could spread across his face, another voice rang out from within the ranks.

"This is unfair!"

Zong Lao San, at the back of the crowd, had eyes that could cut. How come Fang Jinxiu and Zong Yu actually let an outsider be in charge, not even letting his own uncle do it. It's simply too much! This is not...

Fang Jinshu didn't care about these people's thoughts. She still said the same thing: her own business, her own people. She wanted to let whoever be the manager, it was up to her, and she didn't need the villagers to point fingers.

She turned cold, "Ayu, bring out the loudest few."

"If this rule isn't upheld today, they won't hesitate to ride roughshod over me from now on."

Zong Yu nodded, and as soon as his wife spoke, he immediately jumped down. When the villagers saw Zong Yu walking towards them, their faces couldn't help but show a hint of fear, and they silently closed their mouths.

Only those few people who were shouting the loudest hadn't reacted yet when Zong Yu grabbed their collars and unceremoniously threw them onto the empty space in front of the crowd.

Upon closer inspection, Fang Jinshu discovered that out of the seven people, four were from those clan elders' families.

She smirked.

Just right, today I'll use these few people as an example to show everyone what happens. Let's make a statement by making an example out of them.

"Are you guys unhappy with my decision"

The few people singled out instinctively felt that being pulled out was never a good sign. They turned their heads and tried to run back to the team, but Zongyu kicked them back hard.

They were no match for Zongyu in a fight, so they could only cower together in fear. Facing Jinxiu's cold questioning, they thought that since there was no way to retreat, they might as well take a gamble. So, with a hardened heart, they shouted loudly.

"Yes, we are discontent! Why do you let a foreigner be in charge We refuse to accept it!"

Fang Jinshi was waiting for their words.

"Get out if you disagree!"s on the ground and was especially excited.Before, he never dared to imagine that someone would be able to donate hundreds of kilograms of grain seeds to the village at once.Although Village Head Wang...
