Earning money wasn’t easy for the villagers, and those who were astute had already started pestering Lin Changshu for work.
“For the house construction, we are hiring contractors. We only need to pay them, and don’t have to worry about anything else. If any of you are looking for work, you should go to the site foreman.” Lin Changshu had become much smoother after doing business for a while.
“Contractors?”
“Yes, the Lin Family will only pay, we won’t handle any other matters.” Lin Changshu answered.
The villagers who heard this were all disappointed, they immediately rushed to find the site foreman.
Master Yin had just come to the village and was not familiar with the villagers. He had many regular workers under him, but he still needed local labor, plus, the Lin Family’s project was not small, so it definitely required a lot of manpower.
So, he went straight to Lou Zheng and asked him to help find some workers, paying twenty Wen per day, not including food.
This was such a great opportunity! Being able to earn silver without leaving their homes, Lou Zheng started pondering the kind of people he would need, the cunning villagers definitely couldn’t be used.
After gave it some thought, he selected about twenty strong young men, among them were his own two sons.
As for the people needed to cook, it was his daughter-in-law and two other young women from the village who went over.
The village began to bustle with activity.
“Aggravating.” Ma Zhicai sat in his house, irritably throwing down his book.
The rumbling noise of grounding works resounding from the end of the village rattled his mind for no apparent reason.
“These shameless people, who knows what shady business they must have done in the city to earn all this ill-gotten wealth.” Yan Family’s mistress was also fuming.
Seeing her son come out with an impatient look, Yan’s mistress hurried over to ask, “What’s wrong, are you feeling unwell?”
“Nothing, I’m just annoyed, it’s too noisy over there.” Ma Zhicai viciously replied.
“Pah, bragging for what, the money your family earns is all dirty money. It’s all from your sister selling herself in the city.” In the village, Ma Youcai was blocking Changting and Yanzhi, spitting insults at them.
Yanzhi was a bit afraid of him, after all, he was the one who hit him last time. He didn’t understand what Youcai’s abuse meant and just hid behind Changting, looking fearfully at Ma Youcai.
“Your mother is the one. Our family’s money comes from doing business and from the money my sister got for saving someone, it’s life-saving money.” Changting retorted.
Having stayed with Ziyin and practiced martial arts these days, the young boy had gained a lot more courage.
“Slut.” Ma Youcai used a term he got from Yan’s mistress, “So young and already sullied, ruining the morals of the village.”
“That’s right, my mother said, Lin Ziyin is a slut.” Ma Erlang’s son, Gouzi, also stepped forward.
“You’re the shameless one, you’re the slut.” Lin Changting was furious, but because Lin Yanzhi was still behind him, he didn’t impulsively rush over to hit anyone.
“Shameless, slut.” Ma Youcai had learned to be clever, last time, he started the fight and left evidence against himself, now he just relied on hurling insults, watching Lin Changting hopping mad made him happy.
“Who are you cursing?” Suddenly a cold voice came from behind.
“Lin Ziyin, of course.” Ma Youcai and Gouzi said smugly.
“Thud.” Lin Ziyin didn’t hesitate to kick them, she had been working out all these days, and with the food at home, she was no longer weak and frail.
Ma Youcai was kicked by her and rolled several times before he stopped.
“He deserved to be hit.” Zhang’s wife jeered.
“Exactly, he deserved it, his mouth is just too foul.” Granny Bai also jeered in agreement.
Quite a few girls from the village were also walking towards the open field to watch the commotion. Each of them had heard the insults Ma Youcai hurled just now.
