Chapter 387 Greedy Little Flower Causes Trouble and Injures Someone (3)_1
Yang Bao watched their retreating figures and let out a long sigh. These people were not steady or willing to put in honest work—if they had just worked diligently for the Mo Family for a few months, their lives wouldn’t be as hard as they were now.
Seeing his distress, his wife laughed and said, "Look how worried you are, just manage the village affairs as the village leader! You’re not their father; if they’re not diligent, what can your worry do?"

After all, the surrounding villages were much wealthier; who would be willing to marry their daughter into hardship?

"That’s right, Brother Dali. Such a good opportunity to make money, and he just cuts it off; it’s so unjust. If only Brother Dali were the village leader."
