ince he married Yuan, I'll just consider my husband as dead to me."After finishing her words, Mu took out a divorce paper from the table behind her."Yulian, you take this and give it to him. Tell Zong...With Fang Jinshu absent, Mu called Wang Cunzhang back into the main hall.

Looking at the imposing manor, Village Head Wang was also quite excited.

"These two children, Jinxiu and Ayu, are really something else. When Jinxiu said she wanted to buy a mountaintop to build a villa, I thought she was joking."

"I didn't expect that in just a few months, she would actually do it."

Mu listened with a heart full of pride as others praised her son and daughter-in-law. A hint of self-satisfaction flickered in her eyes.

"They are just kids messing around."

"To be able to marry Jinxiu is a stroke of good luck for our family."

When it comes to Fang Jinshi, Village Head Wang's expression changes.

"Hmm, you're right."

"No one could have guessed the thoughts behind your Jinxiu's mind."

"By the way, are Jinshu and Ayu home I... I have something I want to talk to them about."

Mu smiled. Although she couldn't do much to help her son and daughter-in-law, she still knew some things about the family and the village.

"Was the village head coming here to plead with those elders"

Village Chief Wang smiled, "Actually, I called them over yesterday and had them dealt with. If Jinxiu is still not satisfied, she can say what she wants to do."

"Hiding like this, not showing your face or saying a word, it makes people feel uneasy and suspicious."

Upon hearing that the village head, Wang, was indeed there on behalf of those elders, Mu's face immediately darkened.

"Village Head Wang, my daughter Jinxiu and those elders have had a falling out for some time. Even so, she put aside our differences, considering your face, and allowed their families to go up the mountain to work as well."

The treatment he received was even better than that of other households in the village.

"But those young whippersnappers were stabbing my daughter-in-law in the back, helping Li Gou to harm her."

"They bully my Jinxiu like this. Not only does my Jinxiu not want to see these villagers, I don't want to see them either!"

"Who else would dare let them come back to work, afraid they might have some ulterior motive and come up the mountain again to harm my daughter-in-law."

Wang, the village chief, was suddenly in a panic.

He didn't expect that Mu, who had always been soft-spoken and gentle, would say something so harsh.

He hurriedly explained, "No, this time it really won't happen."

"Let me be honest with you, since your family moved into the manor and closed themselves off from visitors, the village has been in an uproar."

Everyone was afraid that Jinxiu would no longer care about their lives from now on. Now, let alone asking them to harm others, even if they were given a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to think of it again.

Now, everyone in the village knows that Yemura cannot exist without Jinshu, and Jinshu cannot exist without your Zong family.

"This time, they truly know they were wrong."

Mu raised an eyebrow and asked, "What about the heads of those few families What is their attitude"

"They all regret it to death!"

Those youngsters who returned home were severely beaten, this time truly mercilessly. The Liu family boy even had a rib broken by his father.

"Yesterday, I also called all these elders to the ancestral hall and formally spoke about this matter."

"Those old folks are getting too elderly to continue serving as village elders."

"In the face of disaster, no one knows what will become of Nomura's future. After discussing with everyone in the village, we decided to abolish the position of elder."

"From now on, I will take the lead on village matters. Major decisions will be made by a vote of all villagers, while smaller matters will be decided by me, the village head."

"There is no need for the elders anymore."

Mu shi, upon hearing these words, was instantly stunned.

"You really got rid of those village elders"

"I've been wanting to get rid of them for ages," said Village Head Wang with a snicker, "They're always busy but never helpful. They just cause trouble."

Although Mu Shi was shocked, she felt that Wang, the village head's decision was right.

"For such a big matter, you tell me, a mere woman, to do what"

Jinxiu and Ayu went into the mountains to hunt and collect herbs, saying it was their last time before the snowfall.

"Wait for them to come back and then talk."

Wang, the village head, immediately panicked upon hearing this.

"Went into the mountains Is this girl Jinxiu still angry Why did she have to go into the mountains at this time."

Then, what about the villagers' lives

Seeing Wang the village head so anxious, Mu thought he wasn't easy either. He had been working hard for the entire village, running around tirelessly.

He just gave him a reassurance pill.

"Just rest assured, Jinxiu told me before she left that she won't let the villagers starve or freeze to death this winter."

Village Chief Wang let out a breath of relief.

"That's good, that's good."
