Since it was a matter of making money, the fat water would not flow to outsiders' fields. Xu Fengjiao went to the village head with the money, and asked the village head to help find a few strong men who were good at building houses.

The men in the village can hunt and hunt on weekdays, and those who can’t hunt farm, and those who have no land to plant go to work in other rich households. The worst ones are just like Zhang Shuqin’s father.

The house is being built now so that the family can have a place to live. It is still very urgent. In order to meet the construction deadline, it is necessary to find a few more small workers. Those who are competent will be paid five taels of silver per person. This is an unprecedented job in the village.

Sure enough, as soon as the village head posted the notice on such a good opportunity, there were nearly twenty people who signed up. Xu Fengjiao carefully screened it, and there were a few who were already too old to afford such intensive work.

"If you are over 50 years old, you can come to me and get [-] Wen to go home."

I saw that about four or five people stood up resentfully, went to Xu Fengjiao to collect the money and left. Although they didn't get such an errand, they got fifty coins without doing anything, which was still an advantage.

Building this house is a laborious job, and the crowd is obviously a little thin and ugly, as if they haven't had a full meal for a long time. I'm afraid such people are not competent.

Xu Fengjiao looked at the huge stone in front of the house and had an idea in her mind.

"If you want to take on this job, you need to pick up the big rock and do three squats. If you can't lift it or do squats, I'm afraid it's not suitable for this job. Be careful when you try it, and do what you can. You don’t have to be brave, if you fail, you will get fifty cash as severance pay.”

Just after saying this, two people looked at each other. The stone looked very big, and it took a lot of effort to pick it up. Even if you tried, it was unsuccessful. Why bother in vain? The money goes away.

Then two people stood up, took fifty cash and left.

In fact, Xu Fengjiao still admires such people, and they don't waste each other's time. There are still twelve people who are not convinced, and they all have to give it a try before giving up.

As a result, four of them couldn't squat at all, and after being ridiculed by everyone, they took the money and left.

The remaining eight people were all strong and strong. Xu Fengjiao was very satisfied with the screening results, so she led the eight people into the courtyard.

It’s not enough to just build a house, what kind of building and how to build it all matter. Fortunately, Xu Fengjiao had a good friend who studied civil engineering, and she still has a little understanding of architecture.

After a brief explanation, Xu Fengjiao was finally able to sit in the yard and supervise the work honestly, and the project was carried out in an orderly manner.

Director Han secretly observed from the window of the Westinghouse. He has been watching since Xu Fengjiao screened people. This person not only cares about the villagers in the village, but also knows how to use them well.
The most important thing is that Xu Fengjiao explained clearly how to build this house, Director Han was still puzzled, this Xu Fengjiao did not look like a village woman at all.

Xu was used to taking naps on weekdays. Xu Fengjiao sat in the small temporary pavilion in the courtyard where Han Mu usually had classes, and she also fell asleep comfortably. She closed her eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.

Among the eight small laborers, apart from three idle farmers from each family, there were five more who came together. The lead iron ox brought the other four around to find work.

Seeing Xu Fengjiao fell asleep, the five looked at each other, and then one of them bumped into the farmer next to him, and the wooden stake in the farmer's hand fell straight on Tie Niu's leg.

In fact, Tie Niu had some kung fu. When the wooden stake was about to fall to the ground, another little brother of Tie Niu blocked it with his leg.

But the wailing sound was even more miserable than when the girl gave birth.

"Hey - my leg! It's broken!"

Xu Fengjiao was startled awake by the wailing, and realized that she had just fallen asleep. When she woke up again, she saw Tieniu sitting on the ground with his hands on his legs, surrounded by his four little brothers.

"what happened?!"

While asking about the situation, Xu Fengjiao hurried to Tieniu's side to check Tieniu's legs.

"It was him. He didn't work carefully, so he smashed the wooden stake on my brother's leg."

The farmer's name is Maizi, who is well-known in the village for his honesty and meticulous workmanship. Maizi was a little staggering when he was on the big rock, but he persevered anyway. Xu Fengjiao valued Maizi's seriousness, so she stayed behind down.

It is not impossible to say that the wheat is because it cannot hold the heavy pillar.

I saw the panic on Maizi's face, it was obvious that someone hit him just now, if this person broke his leg and blamed himself for the incident, not only the work this time was for nothing, but even the little savings before Take it in.

Maizi's facial features were all crowded together, and she quickly pulled Xu Fengjiao to explain.

"No, Jiaojiao, I didn't. I'm serious. It's just that someone bumped into the pillar before I fell down. It really wasn't me!"

Seeing Maizi's flustered expression, Xu Fengjiao didn't believe that Maizi would lie.

"Is there any misunderstanding in this matter, the key is to send Tieniu to the doctor to have a look at his legs first."

No matter whose fault it is, it will be sent to the doctor, even if it is Maizi's problem, Xu Fengjiao can't bear to let him pay for the medical expenses.

That Tie Niu and his little brothers originally wanted to blackmail Maizi's money, and at the same time blackmail Xu Fengjiao some money from work injuries, so that the brothers would have capital to go to the casino next time.

Didn't expect Xu Fengjiao to be sent to the doctor now?

If I went to the medical center, wouldn't I know that my legs are fine!
"What are you doing! Don't think we can't see, you just want to cover up this country bumpkin, let me tell you, my brother will still be pointing at this leg for the rest of his life, you have to pay for it!"

Immediately Xu Fengjiao understood that if there was something wrong with her leg, she should go to the doctor right away. From this point of view, this group of people just wanted to blackmail some money.

Xu Fengjiao sneered.

"If you say that, your brother's leg isn't worth much. If you keep saying that your leg is broken and you don't go to see a doctor, don't you just hope that your brother's leg will be broken and he will earn double money later on?" Bar?"

Xu Fengjiao stared at the person who made trouble, and she was so hairy when she saw it.

After hearing Xu Fengjiao's words, Tieniu on the ground really murmured in his heart. When that kid helped him to block the wooden pile today, he really didn't seem to be able to block it very much.

If it wasn't for some effort on my part, this leg would have broken!

Tieniu looked at his good brother angrily, frightened the man and waved his hands, and then went on to argue with Xu Fengjiao to prove his innocence.
