The village chief was not surprised at all that the villagers were hesitant. After all, he knew how dangerous the mountains were, especially in winter. One could imagine how ferocious the wild beasts would be if they couldn't find food.

But there are always people who are hungry and willing to take risks. After all, the reward given by the Mo family is still very tempting.

The village chief shouted, "Everyone, think carefully. It's 30 wen a day, including three meals. If you want to go, you can come and sign up. I only have three days to consider it."

Many people really want to go, but are afraid of the danger, and they are really conflicted looking around.

One man couldn't help but ask: The most frightening things in the mountains in winter are ferocious birds and beasts. It would be very dangerous if we went into the mountains to build a road!

The village chief patiently explained: The master's family gave us 30 cents a day and provided us with three meals a day. There must be risks, otherwise the master's family would not have given us such generous treatment. But we only have one chance. If we seize it, life will be better this winter, and the women and children in the family will also have a better life.

After hearing this, everyone agreed that this made sense, but they were still hesitant about risking their lives.

Seeing this, Mo Rao realized that this was not acceptable and she had to raise the stakes.

After the village chief finished speaking, Mo Rao continued, "This time, I'm recruiting workers on the mountain road. I've been entrusted by the master family to ensure your safety. My guards are all skilled in martial arts. With them serving as your vanguard, I believe your safety is absolutely guaranteed."

"When the time comes, my family's guards will be there, and I will help you clear the way. I believe we can keep you safe."

Village chief Gang did not express the master's intention clearly. The first mountain road would be repaired at 30 cents a day, and the second mountain road would be repaired at 50 cents a day. The wages would be paid every ten days without any delay or arrears.

After the first mountain road is built, the first section of the project is completed and all wages are paid.

The second hill is the second section of the project. This section may be dangerous, so the wages are 50 wen a day, and they are paid every ten days. Those who want to quit the second section can leave at any time, and their wages will not be held back.

After the second phase of the project was completed, all wages were paid in full, and there was also a red envelope of two taels to be received.

"The master's family also said that if you are bitten by a wild beast, it will be considered a work-related injury, and the master's family will provide appropriate compensation based on the actual situation.

Wages will be paid during the recovery period, and if you are unfortunately disabled for life, the master will be responsible until the end, and you will receive wages as long as you are alive."

"If there are any casualties, the host family will make corresponding compensation based on the actual situation."

This opportunity doesn't come around every year. If you miss this one, you don't know when the next one will come. So please seize the opportunity.

When the village chief heard Mo Rao say this, his eyes lit up. This treatment was so tempting that he had to let his son sign up as well.

When everyone heard that there was a girl from the Mo family leading the way, they felt much more at ease. Although this girl was a bit lazy, it had to be said that she was really capable.

He could beat up dozens of thugs without blinking, and cut off Mo Lao San's fingers without hesitation. The murderous aura he exuded was still fresh in their memory. He was also one of the few people who could enter the mountains and come out intact.

So with this girl leading the way, they didn't seem so scared when they went into the mountains.

With such a man leading the way, why should they fear wild animals? They had no doubt that the wild animals would be frightened and hide when they saw him.

Those who were still hesitating made up their minds in an instant. The salary was so high that they couldn't miss it. If it really didn't work out, earning thirty cents a day would be a good deal.

After the decision was made, the village chief's house was full of people the next day. Some of them were quick-witted and notified relatives from other villages immediately. Such good money-making opportunities do not come every year, and who doesn't think about their relatives? Hundreds of people came to the village chief's house in a short time. Seeing so many people coming to his door, the village chief was a little scared.

Most of the people who came were strong men, and a very small number were young children who looked to be in their teens. After all, working in the mountains was quite risky, so strong men were more suitable.

The village chief said uncertainly: Girl, aren’t there a bit too many people here?

Mo Rao said nonchalantly: It's okay, the more people the better, with more people we can finish work sooner.

She doesn't want to have no place to store the oil after it's delivered.

But you have to pay attention, we don't want anyone who is under 15 years old. If there is someone who looks hardworking and whose family is really in financial difficulty, then he can stay, but we have to tell him in advance that his salary will be halved. If he agrees, he can stay and we will assign him some light work.

Okay, the village chief didn't say anything when he saw that the host had no objection. As long as the person was diligent, he would accept it. Fortunately, no one sneaked in.

It's because those sneaky and cunning people value their lives very much, so they naturally won't go into the mountains to earn money that would cost them their lives.

Many of the people there looked pale and thin. Either they had financial difficulties at home, or they were not favored at home and were forced to work here.

After registering the names, the village chief asked everyone to gather here early in the morning three days later. Bring your own tools, such as baskets, stone picks, shovels, hammers, axe, ropes, etc.

Those who don’t have tools will be given them, but the money for the tools will be deducted from their wages. Anyone who needs tools now can register with Li Tongsheng, the village chief shouted.

Everyone understood after hearing this. Many of them came from really poor families, so they really didn't have the tools to work with. The owner provided the tools, and although the money was deducted from their wages, in the end the tools were still theirs, so they didn't lose out.

The person who keeps accounts is a lame old man. His surname is Li and he is one of the only two students in the village. He walks with a limp because he injured his leg when he was young and has been disabled since then.

However, jobs like registration do not require walking back and forth, so Uncle Li has no problem doing it, so it is just right to give the registration job to Uncle Li.

Several young men from my second uncle's family also came to sign up, but because the salary was so tempting, they didn't know that Mo Rao was the master of the family, and they just thought that their family was also working for the master.

They weren't the only ones who thought so; everyone in the village shared the same view. In their minds, even if the Mo family had a small fortune, it was only a small fortune. It wasn't enough to buy a mountain for fun.

That's right, in their eyes, buying a mountain is a pastime for rich people when they have nothing to do. For example, some wealthy families buy a mountain and raise wild animals, and when they have nothing to do, they go into the mountain in groups of three or five to hunt.

Those who can afford to buy a mountain are wealthy, even if they are not powerful.

So naturally, everyone thought that the Mo family, like the village chief, worked for the master's family.

With the village chief busying around, the burden has been reduced a lot.

The next day, the father and son took San Ya, Wu Bao and others back to the village, because they heard that Mo Rao had bought a mountain and planned to build a house in the mountains. When the father and son heard this, they could no longer sit still. They arranged the things at hand and hurried back.

Mo Rao was a little surprised when she saw her father and brother. These two people got the news so quickly. It must be her grandma who was such a big mouth. She told the story so quickly.
