he old man's eyes, his composed face hidden in the darkness, a sight that sent shivers down one's spine."If you can save the situation today, I won't hold it against you. But if you fail, I want your...One night, Tiezhu lost both of his parents.
Fang Jinxiu felt so powerless for the first time in her life. She had excellent medical skills, acupuncture, and possessed a miraculous spring containing all the herbs in the world!
But still, he couldn't save the people around him.
She could only watch helplessly as Tie Zhu once again fell into the pain of losing a loved one, feeling utterly powerless.
"Tiezhu," she walked up and patted his sturdy shoulders with one hand.
"My condolences."
Besides these two words, Fang Jinshi didn't know what else she could say.
Suddenly, Tiezhu stood up.
The expression on her face was unprecedentedly mature, the former youthful naivete and simplicity disappearing in an instant.
Human growth often happens in the blink of an eye.
"Sister, I want Elder Zong San to die."
Fang Jinshu nodded. "Good."
Even if Tiezhu didn't say anything, she wouldn't let Zong Lao San off the hook.
Yu Lian, Zong Bai, and Dong'er are still missing. The treasures she kept in her palm and never dared to scold them, were actually sold by Old Third Zong.
"Killing him would be easy."
"You know your sister-in-law's abilities."
But before I kill him, I must get the whereabouts of Yulian Sect Bai and Dong'er from his mouth.
"After that, I can hand him over to you. You can do whatever you want with him, no worries about any consequences."
With Fang Jinshu's promise, Tiezhu painfully closed his eyes and nodded.
After several months of hardship, the village has once again returned to a period of drought. While there is no shortage of water, all the grain is concentrated in the hands of Elder Three.
If he didn't nod, the villagers couldn't get even a grain of rice. Not only could they not eat their fill, but they also had to work tirelessly for him on the mountain every day and night.
Now the villagers finally understand just how good Fang Jinshi had been to them.
Not only did they provide them with free medicine and seeds, but they also provided them with jobs to ensure they had enough to eat and drink.
When you're tired from work, you can still take leave to rest, and if you are sick or injured, you can see a doctor for free.
Since Elder Three took over the family business, everything changed. All the benefits vanished.
He was no different from those ruthless landlords outside, dangling a single grain of rice to keep the villagers alive and forcing them to work as slaves.
To avoid raising suspicion, Tiezhu held his mother's body and buried her next to his father under the cover of night.
After three knocks on the grave, he swore an oath to the heavens.
"Father, mother, when I avenge you and bring back the head of Elder Zong San to offer to your spirits in heaven."
"Mother, please bear with Father and me for now. Once the village matters are settled, I will make sure you both have a grand funeral."
By the time the two returned to the Wang household, it was already late at night.
Iron Pillar was strong, knowing now wasn't the time for sorrow.
"Sister, actually most of the villagers have a deep resentment towards Zong Lao San. If they knew you were alive and came back, they would definitely stand by your side."
As for this point, Fang Jinshi does believe it.
"Okay, go and call over all the people in the village you trust. Remember, be quiet about it, and visit each household individually."
Tie Zhu nodded.
"And what about you, sis"
Fang Jinshu sneered, "In fact, taking down Zong Lao San isn't that complicated, and it doesn't require so many people."
"I can do it myself."
"We can't scare the snakes out of their hiding place."
After you gather the trustworthy people from the village, tell them I’m back. Have them go to the lodge and guard both the front and back entrances.
Iron Zhu nodded and immediately went to do it.
As soon as he made a move, Fang Jinshu again thought of something and called him back.
"By the way, where is Xiaohua"
"Are you talking about the tabby cat"
Fang Jinxiu nodded.
After the Zong family incident, the flower-patterned tiger took the opportunity to run back into the mountains. Even Zong Lao San, who was brave, didn't dare to go into the mountains to find trouble with the tiger.
Fang Jinxiu's eyes turned cold. He was truly a beast, drinking so much of her spiritual spring water and yet abandoning her when she was in trouble!
"Come, let's take action."
She wiped her tears all the way back to Jinshi Mountain Villa.
Every brick and mortar here was designed by her, no one knows the layout of this manor better than she does.
Zong Laosan had only moved in for a few months, and besides, the He family hadn't given birth yet, so he didn't have much time to explore the manor thoroughly.
And the maidservants who followed Fang Jinshi were all loyal to her. When Zong Lao San threatened those maids to serve He Shi, they refused outright. Besides, they weren't innocent, so they weren't worth selling either.
So, he was driven up the mountain by Zong Lao San to work as a laborer with the villagers. At night, he stayed in their old wooden house.
Fang Jinshi checked around and found that apart from the three elders' family, there was no one else in Jinshi Mountain Villa.
She kicked open the main gate of the courtyard with vicious force.ldn't figure out how he had been mistaken."This Zhuangzi, including the Jinshu Cai Zhuang, are all run by you"If that were really the case, then his son would be incredibly promising.Zong Bai becoming...
