she had retrieved from the bandits' lair last time.She had originally planned to use the money to build a new house, but now this sum of money has a more important purpose. Building a house can wait...Fāng Jǐnxīu watched the mother and daughter hug, silently leaving.

News of their return home quickly spread throughout the village, and soon Village Head Wang arrived.

He came to the Zong family, he was still here for the village's affairs.

The village head, Wang, had abolished the position of elder. From then on, there was no more talk of elders in the village. Fang Jinshu already knew about this.

She had the village headman Wang invited in.

The manor's construction greatly enhanced the Shan family's standing in the village. At least in this area, no one could compare to Fang Jinxiu in terms of ability; they were able to build such a magnificent manor for themselves.

Consequently, Wang Village Head was more cautious when he saw her and spoke to her.

"Jinxiu, I know sometimes the villagers can be quite pragmatic, and that must have caused you a lot of frustration."

"But at the end of the day, it all boils down to a few old families calling the shots. I've already had a stern word with them and they know they were wrong."

< The village head observed Fang Jinshu's expression as he spoke. >

This was Zongyu's first day leaving home, and he didn't know how he was doing in the mountains.

When Fong Jinxiu left, she hung a large bag of dried food and water from the tree. These supplies would be enough to keep an adult man alive for about ten days.

She also wanted to stay a little longer, to hang on to some more honor, but she was afraid it would be inconvenient.

After returning home, she seemed normal on the surface, but she was often absentminded.

As the village head spoke, he noticed that the people sitting around him were staring blankly ahead. He called out several times.

"Splendid"

Actually, those few families got a real lesson this time. Ever since you stopped the villagers' jobs, everyone in the village has been cursing them out.

"They're too scared to leave their homes now. They come to me every day, asking how they can get your forgiveness."

"They also admitted that they were greedy and lost their minds, and they promised that they would never go against you again."

Fang Jinxiu came back to her senses, a chilling smile playing on her lips.

"Is that so."

"Did they really say that"

Village Chief Wang, afraid that Fang Jinshu wouldn't believe him, quickly pulled out several guarantee letters from his bosom, with the signatures and seals of several elders on them.

"Look, this is all the evidence. If they cause trouble again in the future, I won't plead for them. I'll have them kicked out of the village."

Originally, Fang Jinxiu didn't believe dogs could be trained out of eating feces. She just wanted to use this work stoppage as an opportunity to give those families a lesson.

I unexpectedly received these several guarantee letters.

"Uncle Wang, I don't want you to be caught in the middle either."

I received the warranty, but work up in the mountains is definitely out of the question for now. You see, it's covered in a thick layer of snow everywhere.

"Tell everyone to go back and resume work after the spring. If anyone gets sick during this time, they can still come to my house and get medicine for free."

Village Head Wang's expression was rather complicated. "This, uh, during the winter, what about the villagers' food supply"

"With a chuckle, he said, 'Their rations are none of my concern.'"

"It's not my responsibility to take care of everyone in the village."

Wang, the village head, finally sighed and left Zong's family.

After returning home, Zhao hurriedly brought her husband a bowl of hot water, "You must be tired after being out in the cold."

"How did Jinxiu speak when she went to the Zong family this time"

Zhao shi now understands, the village head Wang seeing her repentance for her actions, in consideration of Tie Zhu, ultimately withdrew the letter of divorce.

In order to stay in this house, Zhao shi also learned to restrain her temper and became much more careful in her demeanor.

Iron Pillar felt sorry for his mother, took the bowl of water from her hand and told her to go out first. He brought the water to his father.

"Ah," sighed Village Head Wang as he settled down, "it seems Jinxiu hasn't calmed down yet."

She said that she would let the villagers resume work in the mountains after spring.

But during that time, if villagers got sick, they could still get medicine from her for free.

"Tie Zhu, what do you think she means"cally, if Fang Jinshu turned around and declared herself king right now, she could easily rule Xizhou as a native emperor.Absolutely unanimous."Before, didn't you ask why the Zhao family was left with...
