God-given mother: The villain cub is super clingy

Chapter 15 Asking Villagers to Renovate the House

Li Xuehua pulled her mother-in-law and gestured to the side. Liu Zhenzhu's family were staring at them hatefully. No one in this family was easy to mess with. They might suffer in a while!

Second Grandma Ye snorted, "If I didn't know, I would have thought you had killed a wild boar!"

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heated, Lin Yue waved at everyone, "We can't finish the wild boar at home, and it's hot, so it's hard to keep it. I was thinking of asking some villagers to renovate my house, and then we can each get three pounds of wild boar meat. What do you think?"

Three pounds of wild boar meat! Wow! Lin Yue is really willing to spend it!

The onlookers were excited. There wasn't much farm work to do right now, and the men at home were all idle! Helping with the renovations would earn them three pounds of meat. Who wouldn't want to? It was a great opportunity!

If it were any other family, they would definitely have to sell their property to exchange for food. However, looking at the situation in this house and yard, everyone knows that renovating the house is more important!

While everyone was still surprised and confused, Liu Changgen had already raised his hand to Lin Yue with a smile.

"Mother Dalang! Do you think I can do it?"

At this time, Daqing and Erqing also caught up and put the wooden barrel next to the four men.

"Oh! I'm so tired! Why are you running so fast? You can't even take care of the fish!"

When the two brothers saw the wild boar next to them, they couldn't speak clearly and their eyes widened.

"Da...Da Lang, why do you have a wild boar at home?"

Lin Yue was a little confused when she saw the behavior of the four little ones and Daqing and Erqing, and she couldn't help but look at Erlang.

Erlang whispered a few words in her ear, and Lin Yue finally understood. It turned out that Liu Changgen had some foresight! His two sons had already become the younger brothers of the four Langs! It seemed that he really had to be given a spot in the renovation of the house! Let's see if this man is really reliable.

In fact, Lin Yue could see that Liu Changgen's family could still be saved. Those scoundrels and second-rate people were not stupid. If they were used properly, they could still be useful.

"Okay, Dad Daqing, you'll be the only one. Also, please help me choose a few people. I don't know some of the people in the village well, so I'm sorry to bother you!"

Liu Changgen was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Lin Yue to actually agree! And even give him such a big task! He was so excited that he rubbed his hands together! He repeatedly promised to do a good job!

That's what he said! If you can't win, just surrender and show your friendship. Look, you'll have meat and fish to eat soon!

When the villagers saw that Lin Yue had entrusted such an important task as renovating the house to a scoundrel, they immediately found it unbelievable. Is she mentally ill?

"Tsk tsk tsk... Lin, I think you're still not in your right mind? Liu Changgen is the scoundrel of our village, and you want him to work for you? Aren't you afraid that he will tear down your house?"

Li Xuehua's anger just now disappeared, and now she just thought she was stupid and ridiculous. When she said this, some people also laughed.

It seems that there are some things that the villagers are tacitly aware of!

Who doesn’t think that this scoundrel Liu Changgen can get things done!

Liu Zhenzhu couldn't stand it when she heard that! She wouldn't tolerate anyone who dared to speak ill of her man to his face!

"Li Xuehua, I think you really deserve a beating. What's wrong with being a scoundrel? Is my Chang Gen relying on you? Is he working for your family or something? If he were working for your family, I would really tear your house down. But, if I'm working for the Lin Yue family, my Chang Gen will definitely do a good job. Just wait and see if you don't believe me! Don't be greedy when you can't get the food! Who are you looking down on?"

While the two men were arguing, several young men had already gone to Lin Yue to register. Lin Yue glanced at Liu Changgen, who immediately understood and hurried to explain to Lin Yue.

"This is Da Niu from Third Grandpa's family, Chun Lai from Fourth Grandpa's family, as well as Tie Zhu, Er Wang, and Chun Xi. They are all good at their jobs, and you can rest assured about their character. They are better than me! Hehe."

As Liu Changgen spoke, he touched his head embarrassedly and pointed at a young man and shouted.

"Hey, Chunxi, your wife has a baby, right? Why aren't you at home with her? Go home, go home! Oh, and Erwang's dad is an expert at building houses. Erwang, go home and tell your dad to come over so he can help us out when the time comes!"

The young man named Erwang agreed and quickly went home to report the news. If his father came, plus he, they could get six pounds of meat!

After hearing what he said, Lin Yue felt that these people were still very useful. Liu Changgen was really a talent. He could climb up the ladder easily!

Look, everything is arranged in an orderly manner!

"Okay, let's do this for now."

Since the meat had to be distributed to others, the wild boar had to be processed. Lin Yue had no tools, so she thought of asking Old Man Ye for help.

"Father Ye, this wild boar needs to be dealt with. I don't know how to do it. Could you please help me? If you can, come back tomorrow morning! It's too late tonight!"

Father Ye readily agreed and said he and his son would come over early the next morning.

The villagers saw that everything had been arranged, some were happy and some were regretful, and they dispersed, looking back every few steps. Only Liu Changgen's family was left.

"Mother Dalang, how do you want to repair this house? I'll go discuss it with Father Erwang soon. Tomorrow morning, I'll call people over to prepare it and make sure your house is built solidly!"

Liu Changgen got into the role quickly and was very proactive, which made Lin Yue feel that he was a very sensible person!

She thought about it and decided to reinforce the walls and roofs of the two main rooms. She also needed to add walls and a roof to the thatched kitchen shed on the east side of the yard, otherwise people would freeze to death while cooking in the winter! She also decided to fence off the open space between the kitchen and the main room. It could be used for showering, toileting, and storage. She also left a small door on the wall near the main room for easy access at night.

"That's easy!"

After hearing Lin Yue's plan, Liu Changgen patted his chest and promised, "No need to prepare wood, just use what's available. Reinforce and rebuild the mud walls, making sure they're thick and strong. Cover them with an extra layer of thatch so they won't leak in the rain or in the winter! I'll go discuss it with Erwang's father, and it should be finished in three or four days."

"that……"

Dalang suddenly said, "Everyone in the village will provide a meal when they repair their house, but our family..."

Lin Yue understood as soon as she heard it. This kid was reminding her because he was also worried that there would be no food at home!

"Then I'll give you a lunch. We don't have any food at home, so we'll trade you the wild boar meat. This wild boar is enough anyway! After distributing it to the workers, there'll still be plenty left! Enough to exchange for some food!"

"Lunch?"

Liu Changgen was a little stunned. Villagers usually only ate two meals a day. Even Fourth Grandpa's family rarely ate lunch! Firstly, eating dinner early saved lamp oil, so they would finish their meal as soon as it got dark and go to bed early. Secondly, rural families usually brought some dry food with them when they went to work in the fields, and would only have one meal there. If they didn't work, they wouldn't eat three meals a day. What a waste!

"Mom, everyone in the village only eats two meals a day!"

Jiro reminded.

Lin Yue understood immediately, but since she wanted to be in charge, she couldn't be stingy and had to make it clear.

"It's okay. They come to our house to work, so they can't go hungry. I don't care about you morning or night. We'll provide lunch for them. Each person will have a bowl of meat and vegetables and two large steamed buns. It's a fixed amount. It's up to them whether they want to eat or not. As long as they have the strength to work and do their job well, they can do whatever they want with the food. What do you think?"

Liu Changgen was impressed by Lin Yue's courage. A fixed amount of food meant that as long as the workers did their job well, they could eat their portion or bring it back to their families! A bowl of food could be taken home and cooked with anything else. The whole family could save a meal and even have some meat. Who wouldn't be happy?
