ngrates, she already regrets letting Zongyu help them dig the irrigation ditches.Let it be, it's none of my business."Husband, let's go. If someone wants to die, let them die. You only promised Villa...Zongyu came to his senses and shook his head, "Uncle Wang is a kind person, he wouldn't look down on Xiaoyue."
“Tie Zhu wouldn’t either.”
Zhong Yu's most common expression in his daily life was a blank face, so when he zoned out or daydreamed, others couldn't tell at all.
Fang Jinshu sighed heavily.
I know Uncle Wang is a good person, but Aunt Zhao is not easy to get along with.
If Xiaoyue were to really marry Tiezhu, with a mother-in-law like Zhao Shen, her life wouldn't be easy.
Zongyu gazed at his daughter-in-law's face, so vivid and lively, right before him.
He suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his mind and proactively took his wife's hand.
She still has you, and you support Xiaoyue. No one dares to bully her.
Fang Jinshi laughed heartily.
"You're right, I'm Xiaoyue's family. Zhao Shuren can't beat me. With me here, she won't be able to bully or mistreat Xiaoyue."
"Thinking about it, this marriage seems pretty good. Tiezhu has a good personality, he's reliable and hardworking, and most importantly, he's a clean and honest man."
"Before, Chunlan tempted him like that, he could still remain calm and composed, at least in the future I don't have to worry about him causing trouble and hurting Xiaoyue's feelings."
In this era, it was common for men to have three wives and four concubines.
However, ordinary families are a bit better off. If an ordinary family can live a smooth life, eat their fill and stay warm, that's already very difficult, they wouldn't have the energy or the mind to take on three wives and four concubines.
No, she's the one who wants to turn Mount Nomura into a paradise. Iron Pillar will make a lot of money following him sooner or later.
Men with money and men without are two entirely different people.
As soon as she thought of this, Fang Jinshu immediately shook her head. "No, no, we still need to observe more and not be too hasty."
Even if Tiezhu is the person she favors, to marry Xiaoyue, he still has to go through many trials and tribulations, and observe for a while longer.
Zongyu smiled and shook his head, pinching his wife's cute nose.
Love is destined by fate, so don't worry about it. Uncle Li has been waiting for you to come, and those twenty-odd people are also waiting for you to assign them tasks.
As soon as the topic turned serious, Fang Jinxiu quickened her pace. She arrived at the wooden houses where the workers lived and saw even Zong Hu, her elder brother, there.
Zong Yu walked directly to the side of Zong Hu.
The two brothers looked at each other, understanding passing between them.
Since Zong Hu is willing to come out, it means he has already let go of the past.
"It's going to snow in a month at most, and the mountain lodge construction is still far behind. I might as well come here and help you guys out."
"Thank you, elder brother," Zong Yu nodded. "It's even better that you could come again."
As soon as Fang Jinshui arrived, everyone rushed over to greet him.
"Master, you've finally arrived."
"Since you guys left, there have been some issues here at the manor, causing a significant delay in the construction schedule."
"The most serious problem isn't actually the materials or manpower. To be honest, this is the largest project I've ever received, and there are many areas where we haven't been professional enough."
For example, building the framework of a house requires a carpenter on site. A typical carpenter can handle building small houses, but for our manor's large-scale project, we need an experienced master carpenter to oversee and guide the construction.
"A beam had collapsed earlier, luckily everyone was fine."
Fang Jinshi hurriedly waved her hand, stopping Li Muhai from getting anxious. “Uncle Li, I brought these people back to help everyone solve the problem.”
"They are no ordinary fellows."
She faced the twenty or so people, "Come on everyone, let's do a brief introduction, especially about your specialties. Make sure to be clear about them because it will affect where you get assigned to work later."
"And your wages, the share of food you can receive."
"Anyone with a skill, be it any trade, gets paid and fed double what an ordinary laborer would. Here, everyone eats according to their work, the more you contribute, the more you get."
"Li Yuanchun, are your pen and paper ready"
Li Yuanchun gracefully swept his long sleeve and sat down. Pen and paper were already laid out.
Host, are you ready.
"Okay, you record everyone's information one by one and bind it into a book later."
As soon as Fang Jinshi's words fell, everyone rushed forward like a swarm of bees, scrambling to introduce themselves first for fear of being left out and missing the chance to become a master craftsman.
Li's father and son, along with Zong Hu, hurried forward to maintain order. Li Muhai saw that these people were wearing ragged clothes and looked pale and thin when they arrived.
How could a skilled worker end up like this.
When he heard these people introduce themselves, and several of them were once renowned craftsmen, he was astonished.
After confirming the identities of these people, Li Muhai laughed so hard his mouth couldn't close.
He hastily raised his thumb to Fang Jinxiu, "You're still the best, bringing back so many talents on this trip."
"With their arrival, the progress of the manor will surely catch up immediately."
Fang Jinxiu stood up and nodded in satisfaction.
"With Uncle Li's assurance, I feel much better. We must finish building the walls around the villa and all the warehouses before it snows. It doesn't matter if the houses are simple; we can continue construction next spring."
Li Muhai nodded hastily, "No problem."e you won't even find a decent leaf of vegetables in this village. You're truly blissfully ignorant of your good fortune.They thought that such food could still be eaten whenever they wantedBesides, y...
