Chapter 676: Chapter 676: One ’Important’ Thing

"Good, Chief, I really don’t know how to express my gratitude,"

Ya Ji, hearing these words, was elated, unable to contain his joy, and eagerly agreed.

The Ya Clan Chief just scoffed inwardly as he looked at him. This fool, thoughtlessly lusting after the chieftain’s seat, he only wanted to use him against Ya Molian and Lin Caisang.

Those two had dared to treat him this way. He would surely make them unable to live in the Ya Village and have them driven out by the villagers!

Once Ya Molian left, the two men assigned to watch his family would naturally follow. Then he would be free. When that time came, he would settle the scores with those from the Ya Clan who disdained him!

...

The next day, Clan Chief Lin and Land Officer Uncle Jin, accompanied by several elders, again went to the Lin Family. Just as the Ya Chief had instructed, Ya Ji unexpectedly ran into them.

Even though Clan Chief Lin and Land Officer Uncle Jin completely disregarded him, and a few other Ya elders ignored his existence, he shamelessly engaged in conversation with everyone and stubbornly followed them to Lin Caisang’s home.

Without wasting words, Land Officer Uncle Jin handed the papers he had drafted to Lin Caisang and asked her to see if these rules were appropriate.

"Uncle Jin, this is very well written. If we follow these measures, even if there are people in the village who want to cause trouble, they won’t be able to," Lin Caisang said with a grin as she looked through the regulations. Occasionally, she glanced at Land Officer Uncle Jin.

"This is mostly the credit of Clan Chief Lin, not me," Land Officer Uncle Jin replied modestly.

"Sangsang, if there is anything missing or anything you want to add, just say it and Uncle Jin will immediately add it for you."

"This is not necessary."

Lin Caisang shook her head.

"All of this is carefully considered. I can’t think of anything else. Let us just follow these rules."

The advantage of age is this. It can conceive of many things she cannot, such as written here, to avoid conflicts between the Ya Clan and the Lin Clan, water collection points would alternate each day.

In this way, everyone will not feel unfairly treated. Indeed, by the next day, they will be in the same situation as the handover day.

"If that’s the case."

Land Officer Uncle Jin nodded.

"Sangsang, shall Uncle Jin handle everything according to this?"

He asked.

"Absolutely."

Lin Caisang nodded.

"Uncle Jin..."

"Ahem!"

Just as she was about to say Uncle Jin could proceed as discussed, she heard Clan Chief Lin coughing heavily. She turned her head and looked at Clan Chief Lin in confusion, blinking her eyes.

Was there something she overlooked? It doesn’t seem like it.

"Land Officer, isn’t there an ’important’ matter that you forgot to bring up with Sangsang?" Clan Chief Lin looked at Land Officer Uncle Jin, emphasizing the word ’important’ significantly.

"Uh."

Caught off guard, Land Officer Uncle Jin, after a moment of thought, finally remembered; indeed, there was one matter he had not told Sangsang about. He hurriedly smacked his forehead,

"Look at my memory. I completely forgot about such an important matter. Sangsang, the Manghuang Mountain is yours, and we can’t use the water for free. We all discussed this; anyone who wants to use water from your Manghuang Mountain has to pay. How much do you think each household should pay?"

"Well..."

"Land Officer, Clan Chief Lin, Sangsang and I have already discussed this matter before."
