Li mama was originally a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Now that she saw Mo Yue being so fierce, coupled with him holding a blade for her, there was no need to mention how scared she was.
But let her tell the truth?
This made her a little confused.
So she said timidly and deliberately lowered her voice, "What do you mean? I don't understand. Can you say that again? "
The doubt in her eyes was too real, causing Mo Yue to waver.
But when he thought of the words he had heard outside, he tightened his grip on the knife he had just loosened.
"Of course it's your position in the Prime Minister's Estate, and your relationship with the Miss Mo!"
"Oh, this one."
Li mama's heart loosened, he casually pushed away the hand on her neck, and said disdainfully, "Miss Mo, is she worthy of that? In the manor, he did not think highly of her, and who was this old woman? I am someone at the side of Madame Prime Minister, who would lower their head and call out normally when they see me? Hmph. It was only after they left the manor that they dared to bully me. "
As she spoke to here, the anger in her heart became heavier and heavier. With reddened eyes, she gritted her teeth and continued, "Let's see if that little slut can still take it once we return to the mansion!"
Mo Yue looked at her, his heart not sure if what she said was true or not.
After all, Li mama was just a 'little slut' in his mouth?
This was a little different from the Miss Mo he knew.
However, the way she spoke was too realistic, making him unable to tell if she was telling the truth or not.
He was at a loss. Was he going to continue trusting Li mama? Or did he not believe it?
"I said, hubby, we should believe it first."
Mo Yue walked out of the room in a daze, while the Xu who was waiting here hurried forward and said softly, "After all, there are always grudges between them, and whoever says it will be problematic. We don't want to do anything else anyway, we just want to be rich.
Every word she said pierced Mo Yue's heart. He hurriedly raised his head and laughed, "That's exactly the reason. Let's go and get some food for this wife of yours so we can stabilize her heart."
"Alright, I'll go now." The Xu nodded, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
"Wait." Mo Yue quickly walked in front of Xu, pulled her sleeves and whispered into her ear, "Don't do it well, do it a few times. When she asks, tell his that he doesn't have enough money left over to buy good stuff at home …"
"I saved it. Don't worry."
The Xu covered his mouth as he smiled and left. Only then did Mo Yue leave and exit the room. Since that was the case, he should go find the Miss Mo and ask for a job.
Don't waste your time making money for such an old thing. This isn't a good deal.
Mo Yue went straight to the Righteous Noble, where Zhang Ye hired workers.
When he arrived, there were already many people gathered around Zhang Ye, asking him questions about the construction of the house.
The majority of the villagers in Mo Village were farming in the village, and only a few of them went out to work.
As a result, they usually earned less. They were always at the poverty line, so when they heard about such a good thing, they would only be able to call out a ghost if they didn't come and ask about it.
Wasn't it also because of this that Mo Yue came over, planning to get a share of the spoils?
He was standing right next to Zhang Ye, acting as the guarantor of this matter.
His assurances were extremely influential for the villagers.
They usually did not doubt his words, and it was because Mo Xiyan knew this that he was able to discuss with them about the recruitment at his home.
Li Zheng would also not reject, because they were already waiting to repay Mo Xiyan.
That was perfect.
Zhang Ye continued to explain the rules to the villagers. He explained the approximate duration of the project, if he had any intentions, he would focus more on chatting with them for a while, and finally sign the employment agreement.
Of course, there were not many people at the beginning, and Zhang Ye was considered to have more than enough.
However, as time passed and more and more people signed the agreement with him, almost everyone in the village had gathered at Li Zheng's house.
It was all for the sake of earning those ten taels of silver!
Under the influence of the villagers' words, Zhang Ye finally felt a headache.
Fortunately he had already stood out, he looked at everyone and said earnestly: "Alright, this matter will temporarily end like this, with so many of you here, Zhang Ye has just arrived at the village and doesn't understand you guys, how can you all decide who's the best?"
Then he purposely paused for a moment, waiting for the villagers to calm down, before continuing, "You guys leave your names in this book, go back first, I will tell Zhang Ye about your specific circumstances. Don't worry, this time, the recruitment volume is extremely large, and most of your Miss Mo will use it."
When the villagers heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. They immediately ran over to Mo Zhengyang's place to register their names, and no longer troubled him.
The move that was revealed greatly expanded Zhang Ye's horizons.
He couldn't help but think to himself, Li Zheng was able to manage such a large village and also have such a well rule. Indeed, he had some connections.
And it was very obvious that he was also training his eldest son, Mo Zhengyang, to take over.
This small matter had mostly caused Mo Zhengyang to step forward, and he himself was already slowly being pushed to the back.
Although he was not as good as the manager in terms of direction, he still had his own way of looking at people.
Now that the matter of the workers had come to an end, it was time to properly discuss the matter of the Mo Residence.
Thinking about this, Zhang Ye hurriedly pulled Li Zheng back to the house, and said seriously: "Li Zheng, now that the reconstruction of the house has been finalized, does that mean the newly built house cannot be considered as Mo Clan? And about the matter of my Young Miss's residence, can we also do it together? "
"Of course, I also had the same idea."
Li Zheng nodded, picked up his teacup and took a sip, then continued, "As long as you prepare the room deed and give me Miss Mo's account certificate, I will take you to the yamen to settle these matters."
His words were exactly what Zhang Ye wanted, he immediately took out the certificate and proof of household registration that Mo Xiyan had given him, "These are the house deed and proof of household registration, please accept them immediately."
Saying this, he took out a small piece of paper the size of a palm from another pocket and handed it over to Li Zheng, "This is my indenture, my master is kind and did not accept it. I hope Li Zheng can help me place my account with Miss."
"Alright, then the next day is better than the next. I'll bring you to the yamen right now and settle this matter."
He was a straightforward person, after seeing Zhang Ye taking all of these things, he stood up and was about to leave.
Zhang Ye immediately packed up his stuff and followed behind.
Although the yamen was in the town, Zhang Ye had a carriage. He quickly drove the carriage and arrived at the town.
Because he was inside, everything that Zhang Ye needed to do was settled in less than half a cup of tea's time.
Seeing the brand-new proof of household registration, as well as the room contract, Zhang Ye smiled in satisfaction.
However, when they were exiting the yamen gate, they suddenly stopped, and spoke to Zhang Ye with serious expressions: "This mission is completed, but when we return to the village, don't say anything."
Zhang Ye was a little confused, "Why must it be kept a secret?"
In his view, this matter wasn't shameful, so why couldn't he say it?
Li Zheng, however, said, "Although most of the villagers are kind, a small part of them are snobbish. Plus, you are hiring them to build houses for you, what will you do if they make trouble for you because of your wealth?"
He could clearly see the quality of the villagers under his rule.
"Then listen carefully, I will definitely keep my mouth shut. As for Miss, she is not a talkative person, so I presume she will not say anything."
Since he had already said this, Zhang Ye naturally would not oppose.
Besides, the matter had already been settled. To say or not to do so didn't really matter to them.
"Very good." Li Zheng laughed as he patted Zhang Ye's shoulders and said, "Let's go. Since we're already in town, let's go check out the building materials. We still have time."
Zhang Ye naturally could not object, so he followed along at the very back of the building materials market. Finally, he ordered a few tiles and wall bricks, and as for the wood, Mo Xiyan had already ordered the ones from the Moyueshan, so he did not plan to buy them.
Since he wasn't going to buy it, Li Zheng naturally wouldn't force him. After all, this was their family's matter, and that was all he could do.
After finishing everything, Zhang Ye drove the carriage back to the village.
When he arrived, he just so happened to see Li mama fall down the courtyard wall in a sorry state.
Seeing that she was sneaking into Sang Nu's house, Zhang Ye knew that it wasn't a good thing.
He quickly jumped off the car, ran to Li mama's side, and lifted her by the lapels of her clothes, raising her into the air. He asked solemnly, "What are you doing inside, old thing? You want to steal something? "
Li mama should have been guilty of a crime, but after being caught red-handed by Zhang Ye, her reaction was actually not to flee or beg for mercy, but to scold loudly instead.
"You bandits, where did you get the money to build a house? And you even need to spend 10 taels of silver to hire people. The more people, the better!"
She flung Zhang Ye's hand away and pointed at him while cursing, "One of you is merely an outer court servant, and the other is a young miss who is even inferior to a servant. Who would believe it if you say that you didn't steal anything from the mansion?"
Zhang Ye smacked her across the face, causing her to fall on his butt. His right cheek instantly became red and swollen.
He did not care about her condition, stepping on her stomach once more, and said with a fierce expression, "Old thing, the young miss's money is all the eldest lady's dowry, and this is what the steward gave the Prime Minister's orders to the master. Before you slander her, remember to explain the truth clearly."
After saying that, he coldly snorted, "As for you? It's just a dog that Madame Prime Minister doesn't want. Do you think Madame Prime Minister will still want you after you go back to the manor? Stop dreaming! "
Li mama was frightened by Zhang Ye's imposing manner. After all, she was just a short old lady while Zhang Ye was a young man with a robust physique.
Just her body was not as good as Zhang Ye's. Normally, the reason she dared to bully him was only because Zhang Ye purposely gave way.
Now, Zhang Ye did not allow him to do so, nor did he retreat.
In addition to the fact that he was being beaten and stepped on, it had already attracted the attention of the villagers.
The way they were pointing their fingers made Li mama embarrassed again.
She crawled up hurriedly and wanted to leave, but she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart. She pointed at Zhang Ye and cursed, "Whether I'm black or white, come back to the capital with me if you have the ability!"
"Return to the capital?" At this moment, Mo Xiyan pushed open the door and came out, leaning against the entrance of Sang Nu's courtyard. She looked coldly at Li mama, and said with a tone of ridicule, "I was afraid that you wouldn't have the life to return, or enter the palace. Do you think that Madame Prime Minister would be able to protect you?"
