Chapter 72 - Meeting Your Trust

The Mo Residence was probably the most lively place in the entire Mo Village.

Ever since Zhang Ye had made a contract with the villagers, the work started.

They had already calculated that it would cost them 10 taels of silver per month. Based on their current progress, they would need at least half a year to complete the task.

That meant they could work here for a full six months and earn sixty silver taels.

The price of ten taels of silver was enough to drive them crazy.

Now that the total price was out, the villagers were even more excited. They wished that they could hide in the construction site for 12 hours a day so that Mo Xiyan could see how hard they were working.

True, they were not thinking of slacking off, or extending the duration of the project.

Because once Zhang Ye got angry with them, when the matter of the house was over, the owner would set up a factory.

The new factory needed a large number of workers. If they performed well now, they could directly enter the factory.

At that time, although the salary would be slightly lower, it would still be around 5 taels of silver, which would be used for a long period of time.

For a long time, these four words were the first words the villagers had heard about.

The work they did was always on the verge of parting. They would do whatever they had a job to do, and they would spend all sorts of land at home if they didn't have a job.

In their opinion, there were only two kinds of work that could be done in the long run.

The first was to work at the owner's house.

However, that was only a treatment that would come from a good boss.

If he met one with a dark heart, it would be a great gift to him to be able to eat something that was hot.

But even so, there were still a lot of villagers who were doing a lot of work.

Just for that little bit of income, he barely managed to live a poor life.

The second was to go to the rich or the nobles' residence.

The contract was usually five years old.

Of course, he could also directly sell his body and enter the palace. From then on, he would become the boss' person and die, becoming a boss' ghost. He would no longer have his own freedom.

However, since the countryside came from them, they weren't willing to sell themselves as servants.

To them, this was the most filial act of all.

Moreover, it was not easy to be a servant. One word from the lord made them all live, and they died with a single word.

Most of them believed that these servants weren't as comfortable as they were when they came in the morning sun with their backs against the dirt.

Therefore, when Zhang Ye told them that he planned to recruit new workers here, it caused a huge reaction.

However, there were a few happy ones and a few sad ones.

Not every villager participated in the reconstruction of Mo Mansion.

There were even some who had conflicts with Mo Xiyan.

At this moment, all of them regretted so much that their intestines turned green. They wished that time could be turned back, so that they could have the chance to kiss Mo Xiyan's ass and earn more money.

Amongst them, the most regretful and depressed person was Mo Yue's family who had previously received Li mama.

Come to think of it, Mo Yue and Li Zheng could be considered to be part of the family.

Strictly speaking, he still needed to call Li Zheng uncle.

But because he wanted to snatch the Xu back then, he had gotten into a ruckus.

Xu was not in the right mood, and his mother was a famous gambler in the village.

Anyone who had eyes and wanted to live a good life would not marry Xu.

When he was young, Mo Yue immediately fell for the Xu.

One night, he was so perverted that he snuck into Xu's room and directly slept with her.

That night, Xu went from a young girl to a young woman, and he became her first man.

Thus, there would be a second time, and a third time. Only when Xu's mother broke through the door one day, did they finally have no choice but to come and ask for marriage.

As for why they were at odds with each other?

That would start from when Mo Yue took a fancy to the Xu.

It was an eyesore, before Mo Yue even fell asleep, he already noticed that the way he looked at the Xu was not right.

Thus, he advised him to marry his wife. He agreed to help him out and decided to forget about this Xu.

Mo Yue still agreed normally, saying that he just thought the Xu was pretty, and looked at his a few times more.

Just that, when he was looking for a good girl and planned to let Mo Yue meet her, the scandal of him and the Xu burst out.

Not only did this embarrass Li Zheng, it also embarrassed him.

He went to find Mo Yue, but couldn't reason with him, and instead got scolded at.

Only then did he tie the knot.

At first, Mo Yue did not think much of it, but after thinking about it, his relationship would be broken, and he would not be affected.

It was only later, after everything had gone badly in the village, that he felt how glorious it was to have a proper backstage.

But it was too late.

He was earning less than the others.

Spending money was not less than spending money on others.

After all, he was just going to eat and drink everything he had.

That was why he had accepted the Li mama as a place to earn some money from him.

Unfortunately, this Li mama didn't have much money on him, and thus lost the chance to work at Mo Mansion.

Because of this, the Xu and Mo Yue would often quarrel and blush.

In order to earn some money, Mo Yue would often head to Zhu Yue County.

But today, after returning, he actually threw some silver pieces to Xu.

"Collect these silver taels first."

"Th, boss, where did you get the money?"

Xu picked up the piece of silver and weighed it in his hand. It was not light at all, at least seven to eight taels.

She could be considered to understand Mo Yue, so she did not believe that he could earn so much money in one day.

"Today, I met someone from the Shen family in the county. He was a straightforward person, and upon hearing that I was from the Mo Village and had not been doing business lately, he told me to go work at his shop."

Mo Yue said as he waved his right hand, "Your wages are at least five liang, not one bit less than Miss Mo's."

"Really, really?" Xu did not believe that such a great thing could exist in this world.

But seeing how confident Mo Yue was, it was hard to say.

"What? How could I lie to you?" Mo Yue glared at her, then unhappily poured some wine onto the bed, "Go, heat up a pot of wine for your man, from today onwards, our good days will come, from now on you can also eat and drink spicy wine."

Hearing that, Xu's eyes lit up.

"That, that's great. I can make clothes for the eldest son and second son and send them to the county to study."

She wiped away her tears as she walked outside, muttering, "Good, very good. These days have finally come to an end …"

"Hey, wait a moment."

Mo Yue suddenly called out to her.

"What?" Xu stopped and turned to look at him.

"Pack two decent clothes for me, the Shen family wants me to stay in their shop."

"Then, what about at home?" When the Xu heard this, his heart was even more perturbed.

Of course, what she was most worried about was when she was busy with farming and there were no men in the house. She could not bear it.

"You f * cker, don't worry about laozi's matters. If I tell you to clean up, then go clean up. Hurry up!"

Mo Yue said as he slammed the bed and sat up, he glared at Xu and asked, "What are you waiting for, didn't you hear what I said?"

"I'll go now."

Although Xu was anxious, he did not dare to disobey Mo Yue's orders. He could only follow his orders.

Not long after, Xu brought the scalded wine and two side dishes up, then turned and went to pack up Mo Yue's clothes.

"Don't tell anyone about the matter between me and the Shen family. Did you hear that?"

Mo Yue ordered again as he was eating.

"Oh."

Xu nodded his head, puzzled, "But why can't I tell you?"

To her, earning money was a glorious thing.

"Of course I have my reasons for telling you not to talk about it."

Saying that, he put down his wine cup and stared at Xu, "If I were to hear that from the outside, I will definitely skin you alive."

"Yes." Xu withdrew his head once again, suppressing all of the doubts in his heart.

The boss was someone who did great things. She would just listen to him and not drag him down.

After all, she didn't want to be beaten back to her original form as her family was on the verge of recovery.

No one in the village cared about Mo Yue's family.

They were only concerned about the reconstruction of the Mo Mansion.

When Mo Xiyan had nothing to do, she would stay at the construction site and watch them work.

She wasn't doing it as a supervisor, but as a witness to the birth of her own family.

This was the place where she had truly belonged to herself after coming to this world.

And it was because of this that Zhang Ye followed suit and got busy without touching the ground.

Sometimes, she even had to go to the county to gather the materials that Mo Xiyan wanted, as well as the fruit tree that she wanted.

At the same time, he also helped Mo Xiyan buy all the land near the Mo Mansion.

In order to buy land, he had a lot of trouble these days.

Fortunately, when he heard that Mo Xiyan wanted to buy, he helped her out.

Under Li Zheng's suggestion, Zhang Ye bought the land in the next village, just to make it less honest in the village.

After thinking about it, he still thought it through carefully. If he really bought a lot of land in the village, he might get sprayed to death by Mo Xiyan's saliva.

After getting the land deed, Zhang Ye gave the hand of the land deed to Mo Xiyan.

"Mistress, there are 100 taels of silver in these lands."

This number did not sound like much, but if it was converted into unparalleled currency, it would truly be terrifying.

Mo Xiyan was very glad that she brought enough money with him when she left Prime Minister's Estate. Otherwise, it really wouldn't be enough.

She took out two silver notes from her spatial storage and gave it to Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye looked at its value. Ohh, the two of them added up to a total of 2000 gold!

He quickly returned the silver back to Mo Xiyan and told her at the same time, "Master, is this too much?"

"No need, I'll leave this money with you. When you need to spend it, use it directly. You don't need to report to me."

Mo Xiyan casually said as she concentrated all her attention on the land deed in her hand.

Although she did look confident, Zhang Ye felt a lot of pressure.

That was two thousand taels!

Even if they sold him, they wouldn't be able to afford so much money.

Isn't master really too trusting of him?

Thinking to this point, he looked at Mo Xiyan with a complex expression.

Perhaps because his gaze was too focused, Mo Xiyan finally had a feeling and shifted her gaze away from the land deed.

She looked at him with half-hidden eyes. "What? Is there anything else? "
