"If you don't want to accept it, then I won't dare to ask you to come over to help in the future!"

Under Ye Hao's feigned anger, the women had no choice but to accept her money and agreed to come over every day to help cook until the new house was built.

And under Ye Hao's strong request, they will have a salary of fifteen yuan a day, which is higher than the remuneration of some guys in the town!

Some of the workers who had just left the scene heard their conversation wide-eyed, obviously surprised.

You must know that they do the drudgery of building a house, and it is only ten yuan a day, so this master is too generous, right?

Thinking of the two sumptuous meals, some people's minds became active, and while the team was packing up, they came to Ye Hao's group.

"Well, ma'am, how have you behaved to us today?"

Seeing the strong man with a shy smile in front of him, although Ye Hao was very puzzled why he asked, he still replied very politely:

"You're all working hard, good!"

She hadn't been to the construction site a few times, and she had been busy cooking with other village women, and she didn't understand what was going on on the construction site.

As for the other three people in the family, Xie Yunshu saw a large number of women in the courtyard, and even if he wanted to take a look, he was frightened away.

As for Zhao Yi, he was naturally doing his homework obediently, but Lin Bin came out and took a few turns.

Seeing that she had a good attitude, the worker immediately felt confident in his heart, and made gestures in his hands while speaking.

"Then you see, do we have ......?"

Seeing his appearance, Ye Hao didn't know where she was, raised her eyebrows, and knew in her heart that the other party was going to be rewarded.

Before she could react, Aunt Huang, who was still helping to clean up, stood up and said angrily:

"What do you mean?! You work in your own brick kiln and pay you wages! Isn't it too big to find the master's house and ask for a reward?! ”

Her voice was deliberately raised so that at least the scattered villagers and other workers around could hear her.

And Ye Hao didn't stop Aunt Huang's behavior, crossed her arms and watched coldly from the side.

In terms of food, these workers are good because she sees that these workers do manual work every day, and she wants to make people eat well and exert more strength.

was generous to the villagers because these villagers were worthy, and they all took the initiative to help and never complained.

But this doesn't mean that she Ye Hao is a big wrong!

She is not some kind of Holy Mother White Lotus, she can give what others want!

Aunt Huang's voice directly attracted everyone else, and the reactions of the two groups were different.

"What?! The workers of this brick kiln even dare to ask Mrs. Xie for a reward?! It's only the first day they've come to work, and they dare to come and ask for a reward before the house is even built?! ”

The villagers who rushed to hear the news were indignant one by one, and looked at the strong man in front of Ye Hao with unkind eyes.

The workers on the other side did not look good, especially the leaders of the brick kilns.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's our fault!"

As soon as he walked in front of Ye Hao, the middle-aged man who led the team nodded and apologized first, but his attitude was sincere.

After apologizing, he glanced at the worker who came to ask for a reward before, and then said good things to Ye Hao again.

"Mrs. Xie, it's me who is not strict in discipline, don't worry, I will definitely punish him well!"

"The punishment doesn't have to be, I just hope I don't see him here again. In addition, if you do a good job, I will naturally not treat you badly, but I will not get used to this rush to be rewarded. ”

After coldly saying this, Ye Hao's face looked better, but her attitude was obviously not as good as before.

The steward nodded quickly, smiled again, and then led the people away.

If this matter was placed in the county seat, he could have relied on his identity and casually said a few good words to send the other party away.

But now they are in a remote village, on other people's territory, and the steward did not ignore the few villagers standing next to them, and their eyes were red with anger.

If he doesn't lower his posture, I'm afraid this matter will not be good today.

Besides, he had learned a little bit before he came, and the village was full of former officials who had been exiled here.

Especially Ye Hao and Lin Bin, who he had seen in the main family, had an extraordinary temperament at first glance, and he didn't want to get into any trouble.

As soon as he returned to the brick kiln, the steward said angrily to the worker who was begging for a reward:

"You won't have to come to work from tomorrow!"

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Even the other workers did not sympathize with the man, they knew his character, he was greedy and cheap, and he liked to do things like to steal chickens and dogs, and he was not treated well on weekdays.

It stands to reason that the owner of the new home will indeed reward the workers who participated in the construction of the house.

But that was after the house was built, and the master they met today was extremely generous in their food, and the reward would certainly not be low after the exchange.

Now this person is making trouble, I'm afraid it will affect them!

Amid the sneering disapproval of the crowd, the worker walked away in disgrace, only to leave with a look of resentment evident on his face.

This incident did not make much waves in Ye Hao's family, and after she sent the villagers away, she calculated her own expenses in the house.

She had set up 300 green bricks at the brick kiln, and she was worried that it would not be enough, so she planned to add some more when the time came.

Now when I see the real appearance of the green bricks, three hundred pieces are more than enough, I am afraid that there are still some left, and it is okay to add a thatched toilet.

That's fifteen taels of silver, plus the cost of the bricklayer and the stove, and it adds up to twenty-five taels.

She made a reservation in the hands of the Zheng carpenter who was going to go before, and she also asked Aunt Huang about the price in advance, and five taels of silver was definitely surplus.

Therefore, for her original plan of fifty taels of silver, there were still twenty taels left.

This is why Ye Hao insists on paying the villagers who come to cook, and the reason why the workers have superior food.

After settling the accounts, she washed up and went to sleep.

Even though Lin Bin has been able to move normally, the layout of the home is still the same, the two of them are squeezed into one bed with a child, and one woman alone occupies a marriage bed.

The next day was still a busy day, and the workers of the brick kiln even arrived earlier than the receiving carriage of the Mochizuki Tower, and they began to work as soon as they arrived at the place.

Even though she knew that the workers should have had breakfast before they came, Ye Hao still gave everyone a white and big bun, stuffed with leeks and eggs.

She carefully found that the person who was to be rewarded the day before was indeed not in today's team.

After sending the buns, Ye Hao had to finish the things on the side of Mochizuki Tower first, but fortunately, there were not many goods, and the account could be settled with a cup of tea.

As soon as the two sides finished handing over the accounts, a worker in coarse linen clothes ran to the door panting, and said to Ye Hao with a nervous expression:

"Oh no, Mrs. Xie! Just now we counted the green bricks sent over yesterday and found that there were two missing! ”

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned and looked at the person in shock.

In these years, there are people stealing bricks?!

Ye Hao was angry and speechless, although the green bricks cost five cents a piece, it was indeed expensive.

But this green brick weighs five or six pounds, who would be poor and crazy to steal this?! And the green bricks themselves have no other use than to build houses, and they have no place to sell the stolen goods if they steal them!

As the only green brick kiln in the county, Ye Hao believes that the other party should not do such a thing as lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

"Mrs. Xie, your green bricks have been stolen?!"

The middle-aged man standing in front of Ye Hao asked, and he couldn't hide his surprise between his eyebrows.

He is the manager in charge of Mochiyue Tower's acquisition of yellow eels and snails, and he has dealt with Ye Hao so many times, and he can be regarded as an acquaintance.

In addition, Fu Heng pays a lot of attention to Ye Hao, which leads to Steward Liu, who is his confidant, and he is also very attentive to Ye Hao's family on weekdays.

Hearing his question, Ye Hao couldn't even squeeze out a smile, and her face was extremely stiff.

"I didn't expect that someone would steal bricks!"

The words seemed to be squeezed out of her mouth, and after saying that, the person walked towards the construction site.

The workers who came to report the news also hurriedly followed, and their faces were not good-looking, after all, such a thing happened yesterday, and they lost the bricks today.

Throwing green bricks is also extremely rare, stealing green bricks is already laborious, not to mention that it is useless.

And Steward Liu, who was standing at the door, thought for a while, and then instructed his own people behind him to go to the next village to collect the goods first, and then come back to pick him up after receiving them.

"Mrs. Xie, we have checked, and it is true that two green bricks have been lost. We also searched around and there was no trace. ”

As soon as he saw Ye Hao's figure, the steward of the brick kiln leader stepped forward to explain the situation, it was still yesterday, he was the person in charge of this work.

At this time, the brick kiln manager had a calm face, and he was better at Ye Hao, but he had a skeptical attitude towards the other workers.

Ordinary people don't think about a heavy blue brick, and the problem can only lie with their own family.

And Ye Hao looked at the neatly stacked green bricks in front of her, speechless at the same time, she was also confused.

This is certainly not stolen by the villagers, she still has confidence in the villagers.

But she really couldn't figure out what the problem would be.

At this time, Steward Liu was late and asked gently:

"Mrs. Xie, do you need me to report to the official for you? My shopkeeper said, if you have something, we will definitely not stand idly by. ”

Because of the benefits brought by those two dishes to Wangyue Tower, as well as what happened at the door of Drunken Immortal Mansion before, Fu Heng is now very concerned about Ye Hao.

But hearing his words, the face of the brick kiln manager on the other side changed instantly, and he was ready to speak and persuade him.

"The loss of two green bricks is worth only ten cents, so you won't report to the official for such a trivial matter, right?"

Naturally, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, especially now that Mochizuki Tower was involved.

was already quite jealous of Ye Hao's family, and the steward was even more worried about provoking Mochizuki Tower, which has been in the limelight recently, and his attitude was extremely flattering.

Ye Hao shook her head, but still rejected Steward Liu's suggestion.

"It's true that it's just two bricks, it's not a big deal. You can continue to work, if you can't find it, forget it, and I'll make up for it when it's not enough. ”

As soon as these words came out, the brick kiln manager breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly instructed the workers to continue their work.

Steward Liu followed Ye Hao back to the courtyard, and asked the other party with some curiosity:

"Mrs. Xie doesn't want to find out who stole it?"

Ye Hao was still quite grateful for the other party's attitude of taking the initiative to ask for help before, and replied in a good voice at the moment:

"This kind of thing is difficult to investigate, and some of the gains outweigh the losses for the sake of two green bricks."

Hearing this, Steward Liu nodded and didn't ask any more.

Such an answer was expected by him, and it was only ten cents, which was really unnecessary.

This incident spread throughout the village that day, and everyone was united in their hatred to find the brick thief!
