Translator: Lonelytree
The construction of Lin Yuelan’s house was in full swing. They bought materials and bricks.
Seeing the carts bringing the materials to Lin Yuelan’s house, one could tell at a glance that they were not going to build an ordinary house. Someone asked, and they were told that Lin Yuelan was building a house with three courtyards.
Oh my God, how much would that cost?
Could it be that shopkeeper Lin had really given all his money to this girl?
It should be known that building an ordinary farmer’s house with a courtyard would cost at most 40 to 50 taels. If it was a little bigger, it might cost 20 to 30 taels or 70 to 80 taels.

She had also spent more than a thousand taels on building such a big house. Plus, they heard that the girl wanted to use bricks to surround the house. This would be another huge expense.
All in all, without five to six thousand taels, it would be impossible.
That was such a huge number for normal farmers like them. However, Lin Yuelan got a step-grandfather, and she suddenly had so much money.
For a moment, they were envious, excited, and even envious of Lin Yuelan.
Why didn’t they have such good luck?
No matter how envious and jealous others were, the construction continued.
Because she needed manpower, Lin Yuelan had the village chief hire some villagers who had not bullied her when she was down and had good character. She would pay them 25 Wen a day.
Those who refused when there was money to be earned were fools. Although those people were honest and simple, they were not stupid. They were not going to refuse the opportunity to earn money just because they were concerned about the jinx’s reputation.
Twenty-five Wen a day was a lot more than working in town. This was simply too good. Many people accepted the job.
Guo Bing was the supervisor appointed by Lin yuelan.
He was well-read and knowledgeable. He was well-versed in almost every aspect. Even when it came to craftsmanship, he was able to give his own insightful opinions. This made the brothers of craftsman Hu admire him from the bottom of their hearts. After all, they had not been educated. Everything they knelt was taught by their ancestors. Guo Bing’s tips managed to help them save a lot of money.
As for Guo Bing, he didn’t expect that he would be appointed as a supervisor by Lin Yuelan. However, with his talent and knowledge, this was not difficult for him at all.

As for the food, she bought a few large pots and hired two honest women to cook for them. In terms of food, Lin Yuelan wasn’t stingy at all. She cooked meat for them every meal.
Most of the workers were from the Lin family Village. When they saw the meat, they were reminded of their wives and children. They hadn’t had rice or meat for a long time, so they brought their own food back home to feed their wives and children.
Lin Yuelan turned a blind eye to all this, but she also had strict rules. If you brought extra food home, you had to work hard. If there were slackers, they would be fired.
This happened on the third day of work. A villager fainted on the ground because he wanted to pretend to get extra meat to bring home to his family.
After Lin Yuelan found out, she fired the man without saying anything. No matter how he begged, it was useless.
Lin Yuelan looked coldly at the person who was begging her and said sternly, “I hired you to work, not to take advantage of me!”
After that, no one dared to do that anymore.
