The last time I came to see the commotion, I just stood far away on the sidelines.

After entering, they instinctively looked around. They found that Zong Yu's house was not much different from before, but why did they always have a feeling that life at his home had started to get better

And the three siblings in the second room, that little girl Yulian, who used to have cheeks sunken from hunger, now clearly has some flesh back.

And Zong Bai, that kid, is he causing trouble again

Those old men who followed Village Head Wang were all the elders of the village.

Wang, the village head, originally planned to go to Zongyu alone to discuss the irrigation canal. He said it was a discussion, but in reality, he was asking for a favor.

When they arrived with the other villagers, but worried that Zong Yu and Jin Xiu would reject them, upon seeing these people, they became even angrier and could not reach a compromise.

That day at Village Chief Wang's home, Fang Jinshu's generous actions caused many villagers to secretly ponder and have their eyes turn red with longing.

These elders didn't usually interfere, but this time they insisted on coming along. They said something about being afraid he would be bullied by the second branch of the clan.

Actually, it's to find out what the Zongyu family is like now. Being able to produce so many fruits at once and distribute them to the villagers is enough to show how powerful their family is.

If the honorable families eat a lot, and the villagers are struggling so much, shouldn't they lend a helping hand

Fang Jinshi has been watching these old men since they walked in, her eyes darting around as if she's never seen anything like them.

It was as if I could see every nook and cranny of their house.

His eyes gleamed with greed.

Zong Yu went forward to talk with Wang, the village chief. Zong Bai walked up to Fang Jinxiu and whispered to her.

"Sister-in-law, don't you feel that these old men's eyes are strange"

"Just like a thief, he went around and looked everywhere in our yard."

Fang Jinshu also whispered back, “I saw them. They’re probably here to find out how we’re doing.”

Fortunately, she had put all the meat and vegetables from her home into the space in advance.

The vegetable patch is on the side of the yard, and it's not visible unless someone goes out of their way to look at it. The vegetables there are growing very well.

However, these elders still noticed subtle differences in the attire of the three siblings from their clan.

After Fang Jinxiu became wealthy, she bought new clothes, shoes and socks for everyone in her family. Even though it was summertime and water was scarce, they couldn't take a bath, but at least they had clean clothes to change into.

So the shoes and socks they wear now are almost all new, even if the material is ordinary, it's still new clothes and new shoes.

In the village now, who could afford to buy new clothes

Even a single copper coin was desperately wanted to buy grain.

Village Head Wang was just finishing up a heated discussion with Zong Yu, saying that the village wanted to give him some compensation.

Suddenly, a bearded old man with a strange air grabbed Zongyu's sleeve and rubbed it, shouting.

"Hey! This is a new dress, you know. My eldest son saw it in the tailor shop in town; it cost dozens of cash!"

The elder's words immediately caught the attention of the other tribal elders.

"Did Zongyu actually have money to buy new clothes"

They live such a good life, they have money to buy clothes, so food and drink are definitely not a problem.

"I mean, they're so rich, why are they even bothering to haggle over this compensation"

One of the elders, somewhat angry, said, "Zong Yu, you've gone too far."

"Your family lives much better than ours. You have money to buy clothes, and you definitely don't lack food and drink in your daily life."

"Look at the kind of life we are living. This irrigation ditch hasn't been dug, and people will literally die of thirst if it isn't fixed. How can you still have the nerve to get angry with us and demand compensation"

< The village head roared back at them in anger, "Be quiet!" >

I should have known they were only here to bother Zongyu with this, I might as well not have brought them! They're just making things more difficult for him!thers.Yulian understood very quickly.
