mountain, there was a group of people. Fang Jinshu went into the house to unload, first bringing in the evening meal, including all the dishes, onto the table. To make it easier to bring these dishes..."I'm just wondering, I bought this land myself, aren't you going to get paid for your work"

"If you're not satisfied with my decision, you can leave now."

“I called you here to work, not to tell me how to do my job.”

"I'll say it plainly: anyone who disobeys orders can leave now."

After uttering those words, Fang Jinshi's gaze slowly swept across the faces of these people. Not one dared to look at her.

Only that boy who kept shouting at her, still stubbornly yelled, "You, you are too domineering, I, we came here to work for you, but, but you can't disregard everyone's wishes like this."

"If you push us too far, no one will work for you. Then see who you can be arrogant with."

"Fang Jinxiu let out a mocking laugh, turning her head to look at the crowd. "Any of you angered by me want to leave"

"Come, whoever wants to leave, stand up and turn around. You can leave immediately."

The crowd was deathly silent. The boy who had been speaking got flustered and shouted back over his shoulder.

"You bunch of cowards, Fang Jinxiu is just a woman. What are you afraid of!"

"Now you dare not resist her, who knows what she'll torment you with in the future You want some nobody to boss us around Are you willing"

The villagers were unwilling to be told what to do by a strange kid, but they didn't want their families to go hungry either.

Compared to getting food, this wasn't a big deal. Besides, they were here to work, not to manage things.

Most people in the village were still quite self-aware, so no one said a word.

"Bah! A bunch of cowards."

Fang Jinshu narrowed her eyes, she had already wasted too much time. She didn't want to waste any more time talking to this kid.

"Tie Zhu, get his signed contract."

When Tiezhu heard Fang Jinshi's words, he hurriedly flipped out Li Mu's contract and handed it to her.

Li Mu's heart pounded with alarm, "You, what are you going to do Fang Jinshi, my grandfather is a clan elder, if you dare act recklessly, my grandfather won't let you get away with it!"

Fang Jinshu's mouth twitched, and she directly tore up Li Mu's contract with her own hands.

"Li, little brother, since you are so spirited to come here, what kind of work do you want to do Why put yourself through my anger"

"You!" Li Mu opened his mouth to curse, but was interrupted by Fang Jinxiu.

"You're welcome. Just ask this spirited young Li to leave quickly, so we can get back to work."

Li Mu was about to rage again, but he stopped himself. As soon as Fang Jinshu turned around, Zong Yu stepped out.

Clad in frost, with eyes as sharp as blades, Li Mu felt that Fang Jinxiu was a woman who dared to act recklessly against her. However, under Zong Yu's absolute power and knowing he couldn't possibly win, he had no choice but to back down.

"Everyone, follow me up the mountain."

Li Mu stood on the spot, with a mournful expression as he watched everyone walk past him and up the mountain.

I'm a little regretful now that I got into an argument earlier. Losing this job now, I don't even know how to explain it to my grandfather.

Now, who's family doesn't have enough food to eat Even if his grandfather is the clan elder, he doesn't receive any special treatment from Fang Jinshu and Wang Village Head.

From fetching water to distributing grain and then going up the mountain to work, nothing was ever done favorably.

Before, village elders held a power equal to or even higher than that of the village head. This made some elder families somewhat resentful, as they thought they could continue to exploit others just as before, relying on their status as elders.

"Hey, Li Mu, what are you doing getting on Fang Jinxiu's bad side You didn't like her decision to take charge Why not talk it over with us brothers and come up with a better plan Now look at you, she caught you red-handed and kicked you out."

"What are you going to tell your grandfather when you get back" The other elders of the families walked deliberately behind, Li Mu with a grimace.

"Brothers, you can't just leave me alone, please save me."

Several people shook their heads at the same time, "You'd better go back first. Fang Jinshu is deliberately using you as a warning to us."

"We're not ready to give up our lives just yet. Take care of yourself."

A few people finished speaking and quickly ran to catch up with the main force. Li Mu stood in place, spat fiercely, in a critical moment, each one only knows to protect themselves, what kind of brothers are they.

At this time, Hu Ailan came out from the side. She had been hiding behind for a long time.

"Li Mu, brother, are you... alright"

Li Mu looked up and saw that it was the orphan girl from the Hu family who had disappeared and then run back. He remembered that she was also with the Zong family, and his tone was very displeased.

"Are you here for the jokes"

Hu Ai-lan not only didn't get angry, but instead laughed and shook her head.

"I feel sorry for you, Li Mu. You look like a man capable of great things. If I were the second mistress of the Zong family, I would definitely give you an important role and not be as short-sighted as Fang Jinxiu."

This hit the mark for Li Mu. Looking at Hu Ai Lan, his expression softened considerably.o speak, all they say is blah blah blah, nothing of substance. But when it's not time to speak, they have a lot to say!Ke Huai-lan also needed Zhao, the village elder's wife, to help her in many ways....
