Chapter 465: When Water Becomes Too Clear, There Are No Fish

k.The expressions were incredibly serious, making them look like they were about to go into battle.Fang Jinshu smiled, not pointing out Song Changhe's worries.Of course, she knew what she would face i...Upon Fang Jinxiu's arrival, everyone surprisingly quieted down. The sour and spiteful remarks were now confined to whispers behind her back.

"Everyone, please quiet down. Before we head into the mountains to clear land, I have a few things to announce. My way of doing things is to get the unpleasant stuff out of the way first."

"The mountain situation is complex. Although the current drought has driven many wild animals into the depths of the mountains, it's inevitable that some will remain solitary and guarding their territory."

For everyone's safety, the pioneering team was divided into three smaller squads, with each squad having a leader to manage the team's affairs, big and small.

"In the future, if you encounter any problems while working, just go to your squad leader. You don't need to find me or Ah Yu. If the squad leader can't solve it, then report it back to us. That's the first thing."

The second thing, I hope you remember, this hilltop has already been bought by our family. Even a blade of grass on the hilltop has changed its surname to Zong.

"So, from today onwards, anyone going up the mountain to work is forbidden from taking any items from the mountains back home. Any good things found must be handed over to the person in charge."

Hearing this, a murmur of excitement and discussion rippled through the crowd below.

When digging the irrigation ditch, people in the village were already accustomed to looking for food in the mountains while working. Sometimes they found meatworms, sometimes wild fruits, and some even found seeds of wild crops in the mountains.

Good luck, you might even catch a bird or two. It's meat after all, taking it home to treat the family would be good too.

Now that they have clearly stated that they are not allowed to bring things found on the mountain back home, their lives will surely become even more difficult.

"Why won't you let us take them home We didn't delay work, and we found them ourselves. Why shouldn't we be allowed to take them"

Fang Jinshi had encountered such remarks before. The villagers were largely illiterate and lacked a strong sense of morality.

Especially now that times are so difficult, if you tell him not to take things, he doesn't care who those things originally belonged to.

It's just the theory that whoever finds it first gets it, but whenever it touches their interests and you take something from them, almost no one is willing to reason.

Hearing this, Tiezhu frowned fiercely, turned around and looked for the person who had just spoken, glaring at him and opening his mouth to defend Fang Jinshu's interests.

"Didn't you just hear what Sister Jinxiu said"

This hilltop has already been bought by someone with real money, everything on the mountain now belongs to them. If you were in their shoes, would you be happy for others to come onto your property and work, taking things away too

That person was speechless after being struck by the iron pillar.

"That can't cut off our way to make a living!" he shouted angrily after holding back for so long.

Fang Jinshi knows well that where water is too clear, there are no fish. Sometimes rules need to be established, but they shouldn't completely leave no room for others to breathe.

Although the village had solved the water and food supply problems, food couldn't grow overnight. Every household was still struggling to eat enough, and there was a risk of starvation if things went wrong.

This thing on the mountain became their hope and reliance.

She couldn't cut off the villagers' only source of livelihood, but she also couldn't let them become dependent on it and develop bad habits. So, she came up with another solution.

"Quiet down, all of you! Who's trying to cut off your lifeline I haven't finished speaking yet."

She paused for a moment,

since she was going to set rules, she might as well do it thoroughly and completely.

She turned her face cold and looked at the man who had just yelled.

The man's eyes flickered, he really wasn't kidding. Zong Yu, this wife of his, when she put on a stern face, was truly frightening. She didn't actually look fierce, in fact, she looked even better than when she first married into the Zong family.

Then the man's gaze shifted, meeting Zong Yu who stood behind Fang Jinyu. He instantly lowered his head, as if he had received a shock, and dared not raise his head to meet Fang Jinyu's eyes again.

The others below also thought similarly to that man. After being reprimanded by Fang Jinshi in this way, they immediately fell silent and no one whispered anymore.

With a satisfied look, Zong Yu withdrew his gaze and stood protectively behind his wife, watching her reprimand someone with a stern expression.

The daughter-in-law is so lovely, even with a stern face she's beautiful.

"Since you have all signed the contract and accepted my employment, I am your employer. There must be rules and order. From now on, when I speak, no one is allowed to interrupt. Wait until I finish speaking before asking any questions. If you have any, go find the manager."

Fang Jinshu picked her eyebrows, unexpectedly impressed that her serious reprimand had such an effect.r my mother-in-law who still needs me to take care of everything inside and outside the house, I might even be kicked out by them.""Do you think they'll listen to me"That's also true.Then you'd better...
