Today is the last day of work. Lin Ting is still sitting in the shed where she used to cook outside. She asks the village chief to bring the notebook so that she can pay the workers.

"Brother Tian Wang, let's start with you today."

"Good! Congratulations, the house is finally finished."

Tian Wang was very happy and sincerely wished Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou that they would never have to suffer at the Shen family's hands again.

"Thank you! This month still has thirty days, thirty cents a day, a total of nine hundred and one cents."

Seeing that the house had been built perfectly, Lin Ting was in an extremely good mood. He had a constant smile on his face and was even smiling when he received his wages.

In a short while, the wages of the thirty strong men in the village and the village chief were paid. Next, the wages of the skilled workers were paid fifty coins a day each.

After receiving the wages, everyone packed up their tools and went home in the evening. After such a lively gathering, the villagers were reluctant to leave when the house was built.

Finally, Lin Ting came to settle the final wages with Wu Weibo and Carpenter Huang.

Carpenter Huang had already paid a deposit, and there was still one hundred taels left for labor and wood costs.

"Master Huang, I still owe you a hundred taels, is that right?"

Lin Ting originally left an integer just for easy remembering. How could Carpenter Huang forget this?

"Yes, we originally agreed that this price would cover everything in the house."

Lin Ting nodded and took out a silver note of one hundred taels from his purse and gave it to Carpenter Huang.

Wu Weibo had asked her for some money before, so Lin Ting just wanted to pay him the agreed wages and the remaining money.

Finally, it was the people who cooked. While others were paying the bill, they were still cooking dinner. Today's meal was very sumptuous.

Lin Ting specifically instructed that after the work was completed today, he would treat everyone to a good meal.

Lin Ting had just finished paying the wages, and they had also prepared the meal. They walked up to Lin Ting and settled the wages for this month.

Each of them still receives 300 wen this month.

"Aunt Jiang, Sister-in-law Ah Hua, Sister-in-law Yun Yun, I'm so lucky to have you these days. Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Lan took the silver, counted it again and again, and laughed the loudest.

"Of course not. We come here to cook, it's lively, and there are people to chat with. It's not hard at all."

Yes, these two months are the happiest two months for Ah Hua and Yun Yun. Working here not only brings them a good income.

When I get home, I don’t even have to do housework. My parents-in-law greet me with smiles every day, and there are people to help take care of the children.

I really experienced the life of having an income and being respected by my family.

"My two sisters-in-law, and Aunt Jiang, although my house has been built, if there are no accidents at the manor, I would like to ask you to help."

The three of them looked at each other, and saw great joy on each other's faces.

"Hasn't the land over at Zhuangzi been planted? Lin Ting, what else do you need us to do?"

The land has been planted, but Lin Ting still wants to build a yard there, which can be used to grow crops and provide a place for people who look after the farm to live.

"I'm planning to invite you to come to the farm to cook for a few days. I'm planning to build a small courtyard there, but I still need to discuss this with Carpenter Huang later.

If we can agree on cooking for the workers, I'd still like to invite you."

Zhuangzi is far away, so if Lin Ting invited them to go, he would definitely invite the men in their families to go along as well.

That way, they'll have income for a while, which is great.

"Okay, okay, then Lin Ting, you go talk to Master Huang, and we can go to work anytime."

Jiang Lan is very hardworking and enthusiastic. She gets along best with Yang Xiuxiu in the village and is willing to help Lin Ting.

"Well, let's go eat first."

After Lin Ting had tidied himself, he asked Yang Xiuxiu and Shen Dali to sit the village chief, Carpenter Huang, and Master Wu at the same table.

Every time Lin Ting called someone like this, it meant he had something to say, and Yang Xiuxiu was already used to it.

For dinner today, Lin Ting specially asked driver Hu to buy fish, and there was a whole steamed fish on each table.

There was also boiled chicken, roasted whole lamb, and some vegetarian dishes. It was a rich meal that the villagers had never seen before.

Lin Ting also bought some wine so they could drink to their heart's content today. Since they didn't have to go to work tomorrow, everyone could have a good rest.

"Lin Ting, the house is almost cleaned, and the well outside the kitchen has been dug. When are you planning to move in?"

The village chief was also happy for Lin Ting and Shen Dali, as they finally had their own yard before being kicked out by the Shen family.

Moreover, this house is the best two-courtyard house in the entire Wushan Village. It is majestic and magnificent and has become a scenic spot in Wushan Village.

"We have to pick an auspicious day for this."

Although Shen Dali is stupid, he knows that to do big things, one must choose a good day to be auspicious.

“Yes, although I am grateful to the villagers for helping to clean the house, there are still many places that need to be decorated.

My father-in-law will find someone to calculate the date when he has time. My mother-in-law and I plan to decorate the house nicely. When we move in, everyone must come."

"That's for sure..."

Carpenter Huang and Master Wu completed such a big project and received their wages. Not only were they very happy, they could also drink and eat meat. It was so refreshing.

"Master Huang, you have been a carpenter for many years. I would like to ask you to help me build a wooden yard on the farm.

This yard should be simple, preferably with two floors, so it can be used as a granary to store crops later."

Building a wooden house was a decision Lin Ting made after careful consideration. If a wooden house is well built, it will have a long service life. Moreover, its biggest advantage is that it is moisture-proof.

Crops are most afraid of moisture. According to the current conditions in Dongxia Kingdom, wooden houses are the best.

"That's no problem, hold on to me."

Carpenter Huang agreed to Lin Ting's offer without even thinking about it. They made a living by their craft, and it was rare for them to meet a boss like Lin Ting who would not delay paying money.

However, they still talked about some things about the manor courtyard. They would wait for Carpenter Huang to go and see it tomorrow before they could make a thorough design of what kind of courtyard they wanted.

Shen Dali also heard from Lin that the corn on the farm had grown to his knees and there was a lot of grass as well.

Although he would go there every now and then, he had no time to weed.

With the current weather, crops are growing fast and grass is also growing very fast.

"Father-in-law, take Master Huang to the village tomorrow to look at the foundation. We will rebuild on the original foundation of the house that was burned down.

As for the weeds in the field, call Brother Yang and the others who worked with you before to help pull the weeds together and turn the soil over as well."

Lin Ting only had two hands, so she let others do the things that they could do, and she would focus on cleaning up the house first.

After dinner, Yang Xiuxiu, Lin Ting, Aunt Jiang and others cleaned up all the tables and chairs together.

These things are made by the whole village together, and anyone can use them if there is a happy event in their family.

The tables were made by the villagers themselves using wood cut from the mountains, and the earthenware bowls were also made by the villagers themselves.

Although the shapes are different, they bring convenience to the villagers.

After using pots, pans, and utensils, they must be checked by the village chief to see if any are broken. If so, the owner must deal with them in a timely manner to avoid causing inconvenience to the villagers.
