Chapter 49: Preparing to Build a House

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“It’s about building the house,” Gu Yundong said. “I’ve just arrived, so I don’t know who’s familiar with this place. So I want to trouble the village chief to help me find a reliable person. The salary is 40 copper coins a day. I won’t provide food for them.” 142.93.60.102

She had asked around. Usually, the construction of houses here cost 30 copper coins a day, but they had to pay for the lunch. She was living in a widow’s house now, so it was not convenient.

“It’s not a problem for me to help you find constructors.” Chen Liang frowned slightly. “I’m just afraid that you won’t be satisfied.”

“What are you talking about? The village chief will definitely find the most suitable people. If I were to do it myself, 1 would really be clueless and wouldn’t even know that 1 had been scammed. However, 1 might have more requests. Please help me communicate with them to avoid any unhappiness. This is two taels of silver. It’s the fee for your help.”

Gu Yundong took out a piece of silver and handed it over. Chen Liang immediately declined her. “What are you doing? I’m the village chief of Yongfu Village. I’ll help you find a few people. How can I accept your silver?”

“This young lady is much more sensible than the previous two families. The Wang family and the He family talked nicely, saying that the village chief had the ability to help. In the end, you found someone for them, but they’re still unsatisfied. It’s as if you’ve gained something from it. They say that it’s not easy for them to come all the way here because they’re poor. They keep pressing down on your salary. Twenty copper coins a day is too much. Now, people are not willing to help them build it. They’ve been here for five to six days, but they haven’t found anyone. I reckon that by the time the Gu family’s house is built, their houses haven’t even appeared.”

Chen Liang actually liked the Gu family more. Even without two taels of silver, he felt that this young lady’s words were better. He was willing to help her.

However, he still scolded Madam Zhou. “She won’t see the workers until tomorrow. The Gu family might not be satisfied with the people 1 find. Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Regardless of whether she’s satisfied or not, she has given us pastries and silver in advance. As for the other two families, they didn’t even thank us.”

With this comparison, Chen Liang really had nothing to say.

Moreover, the Gu family had given him money without even seeing the workers. This meant that they trusted him.

Chen Liang felt quite happy..
