Chapter 277: Didn't Put in Much Effort

en 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...Old Mrs. Wu and Madam Liu hurriedly climbed out of the pond, they were so furious!

The two people rushed straight to Fang Jinshi's face.

"Darn it, you little wretch, are you doing this on purpose!"

"This water is dirty, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Fang Jinshi chuckled, "I have no obligation to remind you"

And, why are you two here If I remember correctly, Village Head Wang said before that if a household doesn't send someone to dig the irrigation canal, they won't have any water to use when it rains.

"Has anyone from your family come to dig the water channel since Uncle Zong Hu got injured"

"As long as someone digs it up, it won't work!" Old Madam Wu shouted angrily.

"Besides, at the beginning our family sent out three people to dig. What if they didn't come later Can we just refuse to pay all of it"

"And then there's Zong Yu, that little bastard, he doesn't even share the surname Zong!"

"You have no authority to stop us from drawing water!"

Liu quickly nodded beside her, "Right! You're not the village head, your word doesn't count."

Fang Jinshu sneered and ignored the two idiots. Even if the village head came, what could they do She had dug the pond to their doorstep; she could easily decide who would have water and who wouldn't.

When you see someone you dislike drawing water, quietly sprinkle a bag of medicine powder into the pond and go back. They won't be able to survive it.

Wait until they finish drawing water and leave before adding the medicine.

Anyway, she has plenty of medicine powder on hand and doesn't have to buy it.

Fang Jinxiu secretly jotted down this little idea, saying that it might come in handy for getting even with people in the future.

Generally speaking, she would never do something like this that harms her virtue, unless she was "forced to"!

"On such a good day, who's causing trouble again Are you not satisfied even with having water to drink!"

Village Chief Wang was discussing with Zongyu and the others how to allocate water for the village fields in the future. The pressing need was water, but they also had to consider planting crops.

Summer has passed more than half, and it's time to enter autumn. If we don't plant for winter now, people will probably starve.

Now, they don't care about the seasons anymore. They just focus on planting crops with short growing cycles and easy storage first.

Just when things were looking up and everyone was feeling hopeful, someone started causing trouble. Wouldn't he be angry

The village chief walked closer and angrily pointed at Old Lady Wu and Liu.

"It's you two again! What are you doing by the pond"

"When it comes to working, I don't see any of your family members around. But when it's time for water, you're all eager! What's going on Come here, all of you!"

Old Mrs. Wu was still quite afraid of Village Head Wang.

The village head has the right to expel people from the village. If you really anger Village Head Wang, he could kick your whole family out, and then you wouldn't be able to survive.

So no matter how domineering Old Madam Wu and Mrs. Liu were in front of others, they became as docile as little kittens when facing Village Head Wang, vying for his favor like children around their grandfather.

After they came up, they smiled obsequiously at Wang the village head.

"Wang brother, just now you said something that isn't right. When our clan does work, why doesn't anyone come"

"Looking at the whole village, our Zong family has the most people working hard."

Elder Wu insisted on bringing up the work that Zong Hu had done before his injury. At the time, Old Master Zong found it annoying to have his two sons lounging around the house, so he sent them both to work with him digging a canal in the mountains.

But Zongping Kang wasn't the kind of person willing to work. As soon as he got up the mountain, he found a place to laze around.

Zong Lao San is just a nobody, he doesn't do his work well, and just follows the crowd.

If Old Wu didn't bring it up, it would be fine. But once she mentioned it, Wang, the village chief, became angry remembering what had happened at the time.

"You have the nerve to say your big boss went up the mountain I haven't seen him from beginning to end."

"And your third son, he's been out in the mountains foraging for wild vegetables and chopping firewood. He's brought back several large bundles of kindling but hasn't contributed much to digging the irrigation ditches."t you should act like an elder. Look at yourself now, there's no difference between you and a shrew who makes unreasonable demands in the marketplace!""Even the most esteemed officials' daughters are...
