fed a large mouthful of bamboo shoots with meat into his mouth, his eyes shining so brightly they seemed to be glowing."Her tone was filled with surprise, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what kind of w...Building a lodge isn't a small project that can be finished in a short time. Li Dajiao agreed to this, but Li Muhai was also right; there were many things that needed to be prepared in advance.

including manpower.

Fang Jinshi didn't intend to get others to work for her for free just because of this favor. She directly took out three hundred taels of silver and handed it over.

"Take these to get tools and manpower. After you enter the mountains, your food and lodging will be provided by us. We'll give you the mountain lodge blueprints when you're ready."

Li Daniu's mother was startled to see so much money and immediately refused, saying, "Why would we need so much silver"

"Madam Su, I see that you've brought quite a lot of things this trip. You must have spent a great deal of money. You are a benefactor to our family, and we would never let you spend your own money on us."

After finishing her words, she only took fifty taels. She shoved the rest of the silver directly back into Fang Jinshu's hands.

Li Muhai's heart ached at the sight. Since people had given it, why was his wife so unreasonable and pushing the silver back

This wasn't something they asked for.

Fang Jinshi saw this and let out a chuckle. She understood Li Daniu's intentions.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here in the mountains."

Zhao Xiaojiu not only prepared carriages for them but also two young, healthy servants.

Upon seeing the young man appear beside his daughter-in-law, Zong Yu immediately frowned. Zhao Xingzhou knew that this 'Su Yusheng' was a jealous man.

"I quickly explained, “These two are strong and quick-witted. They’re good at getting things done. I specially got them for Madam Su to run errands."

"For any future instructions, you can have them relayed back to you."

Hearing this, Tiezhu on the side was also unhappy. What's this, two people came to grab their jobs

"Hold on a minute! My sister-in-law already has me running errands, I don't need the two of you!"

"Right" He finished with a nervous glance back at Fang Jinxiu, and asked ingratiatingly.

Fang Jinshi raised an eyebrow. Actually, it was fine to leave these two people behind.

"Iron Pillar, let them stay and leave with us."

Tie Zhu's expression was visibly aggrieved. Could it be that his sister-in-law truly thought he was useless and needed to find someone else to help her with things

"It's not what you think. There will still be plenty of places that need people when we start clearing the mountains in the future."

"Your father is old enough, are you going to make me hire him to manage the villagers working here on the mountain"

Tiezhu's mind is like a single straight stick, he has trouble understanding things if they are too complicated. It takes him a while to grasp them, but he eventually comes around.

"Sister-in-law, are you planning on letting me be your little manager!" He was beyond surprised.

Fāng Jǐnxiù nodded. "That's right, just tell me, do you want to or not"

Wang Tiezhu was so excited that he almost jumped up. Of course, he was willing! A thousand times yes, ten thousand times yes!

So excited that I couldn't even speak properly, stuttering all over the place. That goofy look on my face had everyone laughing out loud.

Tiezhu blushed and walked up to the two young men Zhao Xingzhou had brought.

"Brother, I'm sorry about that just now. I thought you two were here to steal my job."

"Although running errands is hard work, following my big brother Zongyu and his sister-in-law, they'll never mistreat their own people. You two can just rest assured and follow us!"

Fang Jinxiu shook her head helplessly. Just as everyone was tidying up and preparing to leave in the car, Zhao Xingzhou suddenly changed his expression, his smile vanished.

"Wait!"

He grabbed the iron pillar and pointed at Zong Yu, asking, "What did you just call him"

Te Zhu was still dazed, "Zong, Zong Yu ge ah."

Fan Jinxiu suddenly reacted, she realized that up until now, she had never told Zhao Xingzhou A Yu's real name.

He still thinks that Ah Yu's name is 'Su Yusheng'.

Fan Jinshi hurriedly lifted the curtain and got into the carriage. She acted quickly, poking Zong Yu's back repeatedly to urge him, "Go, go!"

Zhao Xiaojiu can be quite stubborn at times.

Just before Zhao Xingzhou rushed over, Zong Yu, hearing his wife's words, hurriedly drove the carriage away. He stood there angrily and shouted.

"You, you're all going too far! Isn't it said that one shouldn't suspect people without cause and shouldn't use people without suspicion"

"He didn't even tell me his real name, and he left without a word of truth."

He even prepared carriages and food and drinks for them late at night. There were also plenty of snacks and fruits in the carriages. These things are very expensive in Luoshui City now, and sometimes you can't buy them at all.

Hearing Zhao Xiaojiu's exasperated voice, Fang Jinxiu helplessly scratched her head. At the time, it was just a casual remark! She had forgotten, forgotten.

Otherwise, she could have someone send him some homegrown vegetables as compensation. Zhao Xiaojiu wasn't wrong when he said that vegetables were extremely expensive to buy in the city now, righth. Listen to this old slave."Zhao Xingzhou didn't listen, and afterward, he regretted it very much. Why couldn't he stop to let the housekeeper finish his words.The moment he stepped into the foyer an...
