ench his thirst, he put the cup down as drinking more would be impolite. He looked at Fang Jinyu."I'm truly sorry to have kept Lady Zong waiting for a day. Just tell me what you need, and I'll get it...Zhao, the village head, saw Fang Jinshi remained silent for so long, he thought she might not agree to this condition.

After thinking about it, it's understandable. Now who would be willing to support so many people Food is naturally more important than people.

But he had no other resources at his disposal. The land was cracked and barren, and Yemura and Fangjia Village were separated by such a large mountain. It was obvious that the village head of Yemura wouldn't want these things.

Zhao the village head shook his head in disappointment, apparently ready to give up.

He waved his hand towards Fang Jinxiu, “Forget it, lass. Zhao Shushu isn’t going to make things difficult for you.”

"In this situation, if I were the village head of Nomaguchi, I would keep it all hidden even with water and food. I wouldn't tell anyone."

"Well, let's just pretend Uncle Zhao didn't find you today, alright"

Village Head Zhao still didn't know that Nozomi was now under the control of Fang Jinshi. He called the couple over just to have them pass a message back to Nozomi's village head.

Fang Jinshu suddenly spoke, "Uncle Zhao, if you can gather thirty skilled craftsmen for me, then our family might be willing to discuss the matter of water shortage in Fangjia Village."

Zhao the village head was stunned, his dejected expression instantly transforming into shock.

"You, can you make the decision"

>

Chief Zhao excitedly slapped his thigh and stood up, “Excellent! Wonderful!”

"Don't say thirty, I can gather fifty for you too."

Okay, I'll wait for Zhao Shu's news. When you have all the personnel assembled, I'm going to check each one individually.

"If you don't have the craftsmanship, I won't take it."

The village head, Zhao, nodded repeatedly.

Fan Jinshi was used to getting the bad news out of the way first.

"As for the water matter, once I've finished vetting this batch of people and confirmed they all meet the requirements, I will immediately honor my promise."

Under normal circumstances, Village Head Zhao would absolutely not believe the words of a young girl so easily.

This is a critical time, he can't afford to worry about so much.

Besides, it was they who benefited greatly from exchanging labor for water resources.

Then, Fang Jinxiu discussed some details with Zhao Village Head. Even if this group of people followed her, they would sign an employment contract before leaving.

This is definitely not human trafficking. It's about bringing them back to the village to work, essentially hiring a group of laborers.

After leaving the Zhao family, Fang Jinshi intended to go with Zong Yu to take a look at the river. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out, she saw Fang Jianren pressed against the wall next to the Zhao village head's house.

What is he here for Does this look like a case of eavesdropping

Fan Jinshu and Zong Yu both walked up behind him, but Fang Jianren was still oblivious, completely absorbed in eavesdropping.

He suddenly turned his head and saw two extra shadows on the ground. He screamed in fright and jumped up.

When Fang Jianren saw who it was, he angrily shouted at her.

"Damn girl, why do you have to be a ghost like this! You scared the living daylights out of me!"

Fang Jinshu stared at him coldly, "It's broad daylight. How could someone with a clear conscience be scared by a living person"

"I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing skulking around here"

Fang Jianren was still worried that Fang Jinshi would say something inappropriate in front of Zhao, the village head. He couldn't help but follow over to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything.

"You, you didn't say anything nonsense in front of Mayor Zhao just now, did you"

Fang Jinshi wore a wry smile, which made Fang Jianren feel a little uneasy.

"You, you're laughing at what"

"Come on, tell me what's up. Didn't you go around spreading about my business"

"So, Big Brother's still afraid of people finding out about your little secrets"

She raised an eyebrow, a hint of a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"I said."

Fang Jianren was shocked, "What! You, you want to die If you dare to ruin me, don't even think about marrying Liu family's ugly daughter!"

Fang Jinshu smiled slightly, "Do as you please."

Fang Jianren was made flustered by her three or two sentences, Fang Jinshi was very satisfied, and pulled Zongyu's hand past him.

"Ah Yu, let's get down to business and not waste time with him."

Fang Jianren was both angry and afraid, so he wouldn't let Fang Jinshu leave directly.

He hurriedly reached out to grab Fang Jinshu back, but Zong Yu was faster than him. With him there, no one dared to touch his wife even a single hair.

Zongyu's great hand was as hard as dark iron, grabbing Fang Jianren's wrist and squeezing him until he howled.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Damn savage hunter, let me go!"

The more he shouted and screamed, the tighter Zongyu gripped him. With a stoic expression, he used only one hand to torture Fang Jianren until he cried for his father and mother.

Fang Jianren didn't have much backbone to begin with, so after only a few calls, he couldn't bear the pain and began begging Zong Yu for mercy.

Zongyu flung his wrist away.

He said coldly, "Stay away from her."

Upon gaining his freedom, Fang Jianren scrambled away, barely looking back.

This is terrifying, this is terrifying!

Her husband Fang Jinxiu was simply a living King Yama!in her plan today, and the treasure is really stolen and sold somewhere like that Just thinking about it sent a shiver down Fang Jinshi's spine.The consequences were beyond what she could bear.Therefo...
