Chapter 101 The only source of water is gone
Zong Yu put the things on his shoulders heavily on the ground in the yard.

Zong Bai remembered the task assigned by his elder brother in the morning. He was supposed to stay at home today to help his elder sister-in-law cultivate the vegetable patch, but instead he went up the mountain with the team digging the ditch.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't come back until now."

Fang Jinxiu didn't take it seriously at all. Her eyes immediately fell on Zong Yu. The two looked at each other. Zong Yu's eyes were bright and he was smiling.

She only cared about Zong Yu's comments on her lunch meal.

But looking at it like this, she knew she was satisfied without asking, but she still wanted to hear what he had to say in person.

"Is the meal delicious?"

Zong Bai hurriedly handed over the empty basket, "It's delicious! Brother ate it completely and there was no leftover."

Zong Yu secretly glared at his younger brother, but it was a pity that Zong Bai, a silly boy, didn't see it.

He nodded and looked at Fang Jinxiu and smiled.

"Well, it's delicious."

Fang Jinxiu was satisfied and asked them to enter the house quickly.

“We also stir-fry meat with bamboo shoots in the evening, won’t you find it boring?”

The two brothers shook their heads quickly, joking that they were so moved that they would cry because they could eat such delicious food at this time, okay? Who would dislike it?

"Then go wash your hands and go inside to eat."

She turned her eyes and asked curiously when she saw a bulging thing in a sack on the ground.

"what is this?"

Zong Yu was reluctant to wash his hands with clean water. When he saw Fang Jinxiu put the water for cooking and washing vegetables in a wooden basin and left it aside, he understood and used the water to wash his hands.

Zong Bai followed suit.

My sister-in-law said that if you don’t wash your hands before eating, you will get sick sooner or later.

He didn't understand, but it was definitely right to do it.

"Some of the beast bones picked up in the mountains may be sold for a few bucks."

When Fang Jinxiu heard that it was the bones of a wild beast, she immediately lost interest, nodded and walked towards the house.

Seeing that her sons had returned safely, Mrs. Mu finally let go of her heavy heart.

He asked them with a smile, "Did you go well up the mountain today? Did you really find a water source on the mountain?" Zong Yu frowned when he mentioned that water source.

Zong Bai said angrily, "The water source Tie Zhu discovered is the place where my eldest brother has been fetching water."

"Such a big puddle, although it is running water, can't withstand so many households in the village sharing it."

"If this ditch is dug, the water there will bottom out sooner or later."

This is not good news. Mu's face immediately became serious.

She was silent for a while and sighed, "Now that we have discovered it, we can't keep it to ourselves."

"The water there does not belong to our family in the first place. There are still so many people in the village waiting for water to save their lives. Just dig."

Zong Bai also understands this truth, but he feels a little distressed. The water source no longer belongs to their family, and he may be even more nervous about water use in the future.

Village Chief Wang said that in order to avoid others coming to snatch the water source, after the canal was dug, people would have to take turns to go up the mountain to watch during the day.

The people in the village were crazy with joy. The appearance when they came down the mountain was completely different from the lifeless appearance when they went up the mountain.

Fang Jinxiu also sighed. So, her wish to take a bath was completely shattered.

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

"Let's eat first. The dishes you are waiting for are getting cold." Mu Shi picked up the chopsticks and said.

"She is the cook under Jinxiu today. She also dug a lot of bamboo shoots behind our house. Not to mention, the bamboo shoots are really delicious."

After a few days of medication, Mu's appetite is better than when he was ill a few days ago, and he seems to have stopped eating such normal meals.

At noon, she even ate half a piece of pancake and half a bowl of vegetables.

Mrs. Mu couldn't bear to eat too much, and always wanted to leave more for her two sons who were working outside.

Zong Yu glanced at his wife again, and was caught by Fang Jinxiu's eyes.

The two of them had a good impression of each other now, and Fang Jinxiu felt that it would be good to be Zong Yu's wife if nothing unexpected happened.

After all, they really can't find such a good man even with a lantern.

As soon as Zong Yu saw Fang Jinxiu's little face, the image of the two kissing always appeared in his mind.

The daughter-in-law is not repulsive at all. Does this mean that she wants to stay and live a down-to-earth life with him?
