“Sigh, the Zhou family is the best family I’ve ever worked for. They have sweet green bean tea every day.”
“Me too. The Zhou family is really good. You don’t know this, but I took on a job for the Second Master Wan previously. Although Second Master Wan is rich, he deducted a lot from my pay too.”
“They were afraid that the workers would drink too much water and waste time in the toilet, so they refused to let us drink water. I was tired and thirsty from those few days of work. Every time I went home, I drank a full bucket of water!” “There aren’t many people like the Zhou family who are so generous!”
Everyone was talking about how generous and good the Zhou family was.
At this moment, Ma Fei clapped his hands softly and called everyone over. He announced loudly, “Everyone, I have great news for you!”
“The young lady from the Zhou family said that as the progress is quick, she will pay us an extra tael of silver each as salary after the house is completed!”
As soon as he said this, the surrounding people immediately cheered.
Their joy was like a slap to the faces of the workers who just passed by.
At this moment, their intestines were green with regret.
But what could they do? The Zhou family no longer needed them.
With nowhere to vent their anger, the few of them blamed Cao Liu. All of them cursed and wanted to settle scores with Cao Liu.
Watching those people leave with ashen faces, Ma Fei smiled proudly.
He had wanted to announce this news to everyone after the house was built.
However, he saw that the workers who had left with Cao Liu, had gone to the Zhou family.
He often went to his master’s place and naturally, he heard about what happened to the Second Master Wan.
Therefore, when they went to the Zhou family, he knew that these people probably wanted to come back to work for them again.
However, from their dejected expressions when they left the Zhou family, he knew that the Zhou family did not want them.
He deliberately announced this good news loudly at this time to anger them.
Zhou Xiaoli was completely unaware of this.
At this moment, she was going to her master’s place with Wei Chiyu and she shared the good news with him.
“Haha, I’m dying of laughter.”
Zhou Xiaoli laughed uncontrollably. “It seems that doing work for a landlord is not necessarily a lucrative one.”
After hearing this, Wei Chiyu was not surprised at all. He only looked at Zhou Xiaoli, who was smiling happily, and there was a trace of gentleness in his amber eyes.
Zhou Xiaoli wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Isn’t it funny?”
Wei Chiyu: “Yes, as long as you’re happy.”
Zhou Xiaoli was stunned. Looking at Wei Chivu’s serious expression. she guessed that he didn’t mean anything else.
Blinking her eyes, Zhou Xiaoli automatically ignored these ambiguous words and asked, “Ai, Wei Chiyu, you seem to be not surprised by their ending at all?”
Wei Chiyu nodded. “Yes, I informed the Second Madam of the Wan family that her man was building a stage for the top lady of the brothel.”
Zhou Xiaoli’s eyes widened in shock. “Ah, you did it?”
No wonder Wei Chiyu frequently disappeared for no reason over the past few days ago.
Wei Chiyu nodded, feeling a little proud of himself. Zhou Xiaoli couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up. “You’re the best!” This move was really despicable, but she liked it!
After receiving her praises, Wei Chiyu’s lips curled into a tiny smile. He had always felt that whenever he did good deeds, it should be flaunted for the world to know.
Since he was the one who did it, he had to let the other party know!
Something came to Zhou Xiaoli suddenly and she added, “Oh, that’s right. We didn’t go to see Foreman Cheng last time. We have to find time to go again.”
Wei Chiyu nodded. “The day after tomorrow. We don’t have any classes the day after tomorrow.”
The day after tomorrow, his master was going to visit his good friend, so he gave the two of them a break.
Zhou Xiaoli nodded and agreed.
In the blink of an eye, two days later.
Early in the morning, after eating breakfast, Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu drove the donkey cart to Foreman Cao’s house.
Foreman Cao and Cao Liu’s families were two different families, but the two families were located next to each other, separated only by a wall.
Therefore, when they arrived at Foreman Cao’s house, they saw the workers from before causing trouble at Cao Liu’s house.
“Open the door! Open the door! Give us back the money that you owe us!”
“It’s only right for you to repay your debts! If you don’t pay us, we won’t leave.
We’ll bet at your door that your family won’t be able to leave!”
The workers were obviously unwilling to give up and continued to argue outside the door.
Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu only took a few glances before knocking on Foreman Cao’s door.
After the bell rang, there was no movement for a long time.
Wei Chiyu knocked on the door again. After a while, a cautious voice came from behind the door. “Who is it? Who is it?”
Zhou Xiaoli still had an impression of this voice. It belonged to Foreman Cao’s wife, so she said, “Sister, it’s me. I’m from the Zhou family. I’m here to visit Foreman Cao.”
After Zhou Xiaoli mentioned her name, the door opened.
Foreman Cao’s wife opened the door with just a tiny crack at first. When she saw that it was indeed Zhou Xiaoli outside, she opened the door fully and smiled in embarrassment. “Come in, come in.”
After the two of them entered the courtyard, Foreman Cao’s wife hurriedly closed the door again.
She smiled and said, “Those people have been coming to their house every day to cause trouble over the past few days. My man hasn’t recovered yet, so I’m afraid they’ll rush to my house as well.”
Zhou Xiaoli nodded. She knew what Foreman Cao’s wife was talking about.
As Madam Cao spoke, she led the two of them into the room. “Quick, please come in.”
Foreman Cao was lying on the bed, resting. He was pleasantly surprised to see
Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu.
“Miss Zhou, Brother Wei, why are you here?”
Zhou Xiaoli put down the gift and smiled. “I came to see you. I went to the county town to see you earlier, but I missed you at the clinic. We were free today, so we came to take a look. Foreman Cao, are you feeling better?”
Foreman Cao was very grateful that Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu had come to visit him.
Using Madam Cao’s strength as support, he sat up and smiled. “They’re minor injuries. It’s not a big problem. I’ll be able to walk soon after recuperating for a while more.”
Zhou Xiaoli nodded. Although Foreman Cao looked a little sickly, he was in good spirits and was fine.
After helping Foreman Cao sit up, Madam Cao ran out to bring chairs for Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu.
After a simple greeting, Foreman Cao asked about the progress of the house.
In the end, he even consoled Zhou Xiaoli, “Young Lady Zhou, don’t worry. My disciple is not bad. With him watching over the construction progress, the house can’t go wrong.”
Zhou Xiaoli smiled and nodded. “I trust the disciple that you have taught.”
Foreman Cao could not help but laugh. “Miss Zhou, you flatter me.”
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Zhou Xiaoli politely declined Madam Cao’s invitation to stay for dinner and left.
When they left the Cao family, the workers were still making a scene at Cao Liu’s house..
