Chapter 550: Please Give Us Another Chance

foolish man in the world.Lien Fang-jin herself hadn't noticed, but when she saw the scar, her eyes were already slightly moist.She had just finished putting medicine on Zongyu's wounds when Tiezhu, th...Fāng Dàzhú's face turned pale.

He never would have guessed his youngest daughter could achieve such wealth and status today. When the matchmaker came to arrange a marriage for Zong Yu, she clearly stated that the Zong family was just a poor hunting family living on a mountain.

It hasn't been that long, how did you suddenly become so wealthy

"Just stay out of this."

Fang Jinshu finished speaking and turned to leave, ignoring Fang Dazhu.

Fang Dazhu still wanted to cling to Fang Jinshi, but Zong Yu didn't give him the chance.

The village chief hurriedly pulled the person aside and said in an irritated voice.

"Who told you to do things so decisively back then, leaving no room for this girl"

"If you had married her off properly, she wouldn't be treating you like this today."

In Zhao Chang's eyes, Fang Da Zhu just brought it upon himself.

For a whole morning, Fang Dazhu stayed put, his face grim as he watched Fang Jinshi bring out stacks of contracts and have villagers sign them.

Some people, when they hear that they need to sign a contract to work, instinctively think there's a trap and back out at the last minute.

When these people put down their pens, Fang Jinshu merely smiled without saying a word.

They weren't persuaded either.

In the end, of the twenty or so people that Village Head Zhao had brought, only eighteen were willing to sign the contract.

When no one came forward anymore, Fang Jinshi finally raised her head and asked a question.

"Is there anyone else willing to go back to work with me"

No one spoke below.

After Fang Jinshi carefully put away the eighty contracts, she spoke again.

"Firstly, thank you to these eighteen fellow villagers for trusting me and signing the contract with me."

"Since you're all willing to leave your homes and return with me, you must have made a great resolution. I, Fang Jinxiu, will never disappoint you."

"When I was talking about salary just now, I actually didn't finish my thoughts."

She paused deliberately. Those who had been about to leave stopped short and turned back to look at her upon hearing her words.

"Our village, there is water."

Even Zhao, the village head, was taken aback.

Although he suspected that Nomura was involved, Fang Jinshu had never admitted it out loud.

Village Head Zhao figured out, from their attire and bearing, that the life conditions of the people in Yemura were better than those in Fangjia Village.

Now that Fang Jinshu has personally admitted to hearing about Nomura's involvement, Village Chief Zhao's heart can finally be at ease.

He even had the thought of going to Noma Village himself, but he wasn't sure if the village chief would allow it.

"There's water! Fang's daughter said there's water at Yanomami."

"Why didn't she say this sooner!"

"She said that Fangjia Village had water, so I signed up."

Many people share the same concern as the person who just spoke, worrying that things will be even worse for them if they go to Nomura without a water source.

Without grain and with no water, it's better to stay in Fangjiacun. At least there's a river in Fangjiacun.

"Fang's girl, why didn't you say it earlier."

"We're signing now, is it still possible"

Those who had already signed were overjoyed one by one, and immediately stood beside Fang Jinshu, beginning to speak to her.

"Who made you hesitate just now, do you think you can still sign up now"

A few people going to fight them for water would certainly be beneficial for them.

"Well, who would have thought there'd be water in the mountains"

"Miss Fang, no, Madam! Please give us another chance."

Fan Jinshi didn't refuse directly. She was actually in need of people skilled in these crafts, and there would be many more things needed when the mountain villa was built later on.

The more skilled someone is in a craft, the more they need it.

I want to know, why were you hesitant to sign just now

"I'm the type of person who gets the bad stuff out in the open first. Once you sign the contract and come back to my village with me, you can't just leave at will."

"Life in the mountains might not be what you expect."

"I want to hear everyone's concerns first, is it because of the water"

Some people nodded, while others remained silent.

Fang Jinshu specifically asked those who had not expressed their stance, "Brother, what do you think"

“I, I am because there is only an old mother in my family, my mother's legs are not good, if no one is around to take care of her, she can't live alone.”

"So I can't be away from home for that long."

Fang Jinshu touched his chin and raised his voice to address everyone.

"Is there anyone else in the same situation as this gentleman"

The elder brother who just spoke is a blacksmith. Fang Jinyu thinks this skill will definitely come in handy in the future.

Moreover, cultivating on the mountaintop requires a lot of farming tools. There are almost no people who can repair them when they break down. Repurchasing tools is not only expensive but also takes a considerable amount of time to travel to and from the county town.

It would be better to have someone who knows how to work with metal around, so repairs would be easier.women, all doting on him terribly.
