ht you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be so bad at math.""Do you know how large the mountain is Buying this wasteland and taking care of so many people to cultivate it is a huge expen...Li Gou looked around anxiously. The people who had just accused Zong Yu with him were now all gone, hiding behind others. He could only force himself to appear calm and look at Fang Jinxiu steadily.

"I told you so! Again!"

"You're afraid of what people will say, so you only do half the job on this canal. How are we supposed to live like this"

Fang Jinxiu's face was as dark and gloomy as if it were about to freeze.

I was just here to see the commotion and bring some meat to Wang, the village head. I didn't intend to get involved.

Even if it was her being scolded by Li Gouzi, she wouldn't necessarily get this angry.

He shouldn't, absolutely not, scold his reputation!

Village Chief Wang could tell from her expression that this girl was truly about to become angry. Though they had only known each other for a short time, he could see that the second branch of the Zong family would depend on this girl from now on.

Even Lian Zongyu listens to her.

He quickly stood up and slapped Li Gouzi, making a loud slap, and shouted angrily at him.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"If you're going to discuss matters, just discuss them. Who asked you to insult the young master"

He's already done enough for the village, and he just got back after disappearing. He needs some time to catch his breath.

Village Head Wang didn't know if his actions would appease Fang Jinshi, he was also afraid that Zong Yu would just abandon the water channel project.

From a personal standpoint, everyone in the village just wants to survive and protect themselves, which is selfish. He also finds it distasteful.

But he's the head of the village, even if he dislikes them, he can't sentence everyone in the village to death.

The canal was dug not only for these selfish people to drink, but also for the elderly, the weak, and women.

Wang, the village head, was caught in the middle. Li Gou was not happy but didn't dare to defy Wang. He could only cover his face and turn his head to the side, his eyes always on Fang Jinxiu, his expression sinister.

After giving Li Gou a good scolding, Wang, the village head, mustered his courage and turned to Fang Jinxiu.

"Jinshu, Li Gou was just speaking hastily out of anxiety. It was wrong of him to insult you, and Wang Shu has already disciplined him."

"You can't..." Before he could finish his sentence, Fang Jinshu snorted coldly.

"Uncle Wang, you wouldn't think that slapping him and then scolding him a few times would make me feel better, would you"

Wang, the village head, was taken aback.

Ever since Fang Jinshi arrived, Tiezhu had stood by Song Changhe's side, firmly siding with the Zong family.

From the very beginning, he didn't agree with his father's promise to the villagers to bring back Zong Er Ge to continue digging the irrigation canal.

This time asking for help is completely different from last time.

Just because you all come from the same village, who would be willing to help a group of people who are indifferent to death and selfish

Ask them, ask them if they are willing.

These words Tiezhu repeated to his father again and again, but it was useless.

In this matter, his father is truly clueless.

He simply stood beside Fang Jinshui, not even glancing at his father.

Before the village head, Wang, could even begin to ask, Li Gouzi grew anxious first.

"What do you mean Is it not enough to beat and scold someone Are you saying that if I scold your husband, I should pay with my life"

Li Gou didn't think it was wrong to talk badly about people behind their backs. Did he do anything wrong

This couple, they've done their fair share of shady things behind people's backs!

He remembered drinking the bitter herbal concoctions for three days straight, made from mud and water. It almost killed him.

I only realized after walking around the gate of the underworld that I had been tricked by Fang Jinshu!

Both husband and wife are not good people.

Fang Jinshi, seeing Li Gou dead at her doorstep, not only didn't regret it, but dared to confront her righteously.

Judging by last time, just feeding him Coptis chinensis didn't teach him a lesson.

A dog that bites deserves to be killed. It truly hurts to the bone, and only then will it learn to behave itself.

At the moment Li Gou came up, Fang Jinxiu drew out three silver needles from her sleeve (or space) with lightning speed and stabbed them into his acupoints.

Li Gou found himself suddenly unable to move.

At a glance, he saw Fang Jinshu limbering up her sleeves. He started to feel terrified.

"You, you did something to me! Why can't I move You, you, you, Fang Jinxiu don't come over."

"Ah!"

She slapped him hard on both sides of the face, but Li Goupi's skin was too thick and her hands hurt.

Song Changhe, who was originally timid but insisted on being kind to people, suddenly stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll fight for you. I'll keep fighting until you're satisfied and calm down."

When Li Gou Ma Zong Yu Ge said those words, he also got very angry.

Fang Jinshi raised her hand to stop him and then looked around at the villagers who were watching the free spectacle.

Today, whoever comes up and slaps Li Gou three times can get a jin of pork from me.

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone in the room went crazy.r, he pulled open his wound and took a deep breath, his expression very grave.Wang Dashao hurried to ask, "What's wrong""This person was killed by having their throat slit.""Ordinary bandits wouldn't...
