NovelEnglish93 Helpers
“In addition, we have to get two more people to go into the mountains to cut some wood. Uncle Sun has already agreed to help with the carpentry work. This way, we can save on the money to buy wood.”
“I’ve calculated it. With Li Xiao, you, and Shuanzi, we still need seven people from the village.”
“This is easy. Now that there is no work in the field, there are many people in the village who are out to look for work. I’m sure everyone will be willing to come.”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded. “I’m going to send some food to the village chief’s house later. I’ll see if I can ask him to help me find someone.”
Uncle Wang paused.

Yue’er was lucky enough to get the wild ginseng and sell it for a lot of money. Now, she wanted to build a big house. The Lin family would definitely be upset. There were also some people in the village who could not help but feel jealous.
If the village chief helped the Liu family with this, it would indeed be much easier.
He realized that he was starting to admire this girl. She was lucky and thought things through.
Many people in the village were waiting to see the Liu family make a fool of themselves. They felt that it was an unwise choice for Liu Shi to set up a female household and that she would regret it sooner or later.
However, he knew that with this girl around, the Liu family’s future would only get better and better.
Lin Xiaoyue chatted with Uncle Wang for a while, then went to the village chief’s house with duck blood curd and some pork
When she arrived, Lin Xiaoyue was a little excited as she looked at the bricks and large tiles in the courtyard, which was obviously different from other houses.
When their house was built, it would also be so beautiful!
After knocking on the door, it was Zhang Shi, the wife of the village chief’s son, Li Gengtian, who opened the door.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue came with food and it was even a meat dish, Zhang Shi quickly invited Lin Xiaoyue into the courtyard.
Then, Lin Xiaoyue told her that she was here for her father-in-law and led Lin Xiaoyue into the house.
After seeing the village chief, Lin Xiaoyue told him her purpose for coming.
When he heard that the Liu family was going to build a house with bricks, he was very surprised.

“Haha, you little girl, you’re a lucky one!” The village chief said with a smile.
Not only did he suddenly become smart, but she also learned how to hunt and even went into the mountains to dig up a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng. Could it be that her father had really blessed his eldest daughter so that she could support the Liu family?
“That’s easy. I’ll ask my son to inform all the families to come to my house to sign up. Tell me about the salary and the construction period.”
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
“We’ll start construction in five days. The construction period is at least twenty days. I can’t guarantee that the whole process would require so many people, but they definitely will work for more than 15 days. Helping with building the house is 150 wen a day, and lunch and dinner are included. Those who go into the mountains need to start the day after tomorrow. Before the construction team arrived, it’s 200 wen a day, not including meals. After that, it would be 180 wen a day, which includes lunch and dinner. I’s not that hot to cut trees in the mountains, so the working hours will be longer.”
“Okay. This price is very reasonable.” The village chief said.
“Alright, I’ll tell Gengtian. Tomorrow, after we’ve confirmed the people, we’ll send someone to your house to let you know.”
“Thank you, sir!” Lin Xiaoyue’s face lit up and she quickly thanked him.
“Hehe, you’re welcome. Your household registration has also been completed. Since you’re here, I’ll give it to you now. Wait a moment.” The village chief stood up after he finished speaking.
