Chapter 111 Then don’t dig it

"The road up the mountain is already difficult. If we don't hurry up and dig ditches, when will we be able to drink water?"

"Besides, the mountains are so dangerous. If you stay here for one more day, it will be even more dangerous. Zongyu, tell yourself, what do you mean by bringing your wife here?"

"The stops and starts along the way have wasted everyone's time!"

Zong Yu glanced at the man, his expression was extremely cold.

"If you are not satisfied with my arrangement, you can go up the mountain alone to dig ditches."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room immediately stopped talking. Who dares to go up the mountain alone? There are wild beasts in this mountain.

The villagers felt that Zong Yu was unkind, so although he spoke, they did not dare to speak too forcefully.

"Zong Yu, we are from the same village after all. How can you say that?"

"You promised Village Chief Wang to keep us safe."

Fang Jinxiu was quite surprised that Zong Yu would say that directly. Every time people from the Zong family's old house came to cause trouble, he always kept silent.

She also thought that Zong Yu had the kind of good-natured nature, and was reluctant to offend others, so he always silently endured others' bullying.

It doesn't seem to be the case now. It turns out that he can fight back, and he still wants to be tough.

"I just promised Uncle Wang to lead a team up the mountain to dig ditches. Only if you obey can I protect your safety."

"As for when the ditch can be dug, I have not promised a time limit."

"If you dislike my slow pace, you can leave the team and go up the mountain on your own."

The villagers were irritated by Zong Yu's cold attitude, and their voices gradually began to rise and their emotions became excited.

"What a good Zongyu you are. I'm just relying on my familiarity with the terrain of the mountains and my hunting skills to drive you crazy!"

"If you have the ability, don't use it until the ditch is dug!"

Fang Jinxiu watched him protecting her, knowing that his tough attitude was all for her own sake. She glanced coldly at the young man who was speaking in front of her and stepped forward.

"It's funny, why shouldn't we use it?"

"Originally, my husband didn't want to do this job." "After digging the ditch, it is just for the convenience of you who live in the village. Our family lives on the mountainside and we may not be able to use the water from the mountain."

"But since you said so, then we won't dig this ditch."

She didn't say a word, and everyone's faces turned pale with fright.

Zong Yu listened to his wife's words very much and nodded in agreement, "Okay, no more digging."

Originally, they discovered the water source alone. If Zong Yu was not willing to lead the team, even if the villagers discovered the water source in the mountain, none of them would have the guts to go up the mountain to dig a canal to divert the water down.

Then wouldn't it be better if their family can use the water source alone without having to squeeze water with so many people in the village?

What did they say?Zong Yu promised Village Chief Wang to protect the villagers from going up the mountain to dig ditches without hesitation.

After Tie Zhu came home and was beaten by his father, he finally got a little enlightened. After figuring out the key, he changed his view of Zong Yu a lot.

They would rush out to smooth things over, for fear that the couple would just give up and leave.

"Brother Zong Yu, don't be impulsive."

"After such a long drought, everyone sees hope of survival for the first time. You know how important this water source is to the village."

"It's hard to avoid speaking a little impetuously. Brother Zongyu, you have a lot of people, so don't argue with them, okay?"

Seeing that Zong Yu was unmoved, Tiezhu turned to look at Fang Jinxiu. Realizing that this was the one in charge, he quickly turned around and continued to plead with her.

"Sister-in-law, please, we really can't live without Brother Zong Yu leading the team."

Fang Jinxiu glanced at the young man who just said she was a burden, and Tie Zhu immediately dragged Gouzi over.

He is the son of the village chief, and is very likely to be the next village chief. The younger generation in the village basically follow Tiezhu, and when the young man encounters Tiezhu, his attitude immediately shrinks.

"Gouzi, apologize to my sister-in-law and Brother Zongyu immediately."

The young man named Gouzi had a stubborn look on his face, and he looked like he dared not speak out when he was angry.

"I, I didn't say anything wrong, why should I apologize?"

Tie Zhu was so angry that his teeth itched, and Zong Yu was so angry that he left. Who among these people has the courage to run into the mountains?
