Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

Sujia Village has always been known for its philanthropists, and is famous throughout the surrounding area.

Until the last time someone targeted the Su family's antique shop and auction house, Su Chen struck swiftly and decisively, bringing down several families.

At this point, those people realized that Su Family Village was not to be trifled with.

Although the Su family has always maintained a low profile, once someone in the Su family gets angry, it is extremely difficult to resolve the situation.

“If other businesses need to recruit, they can also prioritize selecting from these long-term workers,” Su Chen said. “The guard team can also be selected from among these long-term workers.”

“Choose those who are loyal, obedient, and honest.”

"The Su family's guard team is still too small. I plan to expand it to about a thousand people."

"The next step is to conduct large-scale training to help these people improve their skills as quickly as possible."

A team of a thousand people can be difficult to manage.

Fortunately, Su Chen had been planning ahead, recruiting only a small number of guards each time, and then expanding the force once these guards were completely loyal to Su Family Village.

In this way, even if the newly recruited guards have ulterior motives, they won't be able to cause any trouble.

This is where Su Chen's confidence comes from.

Expanding the guard to around a thousand men should solve the problem in the short term.

According to Su Chen's plan, some people will be dispatched to the ancient city and the magical city, while some guards will be left behind to transport the antiques from the ancient city to the magical city.

With the channels established, the Su family's antique business in Shanghai is sure to get better and better.

……

Early winter.

Changsha City, Sujia Village.

A rice threshing ground was crowded with people.

Some people didn't have warm clothes to wear and had to borrow them from all over the place.

Wearing borrowed running shoes, he squatted in a corner of the threshing ground, a pipe dangling from his mouth, taking a few puffs now and then.

"The Su family is hiring again, and I heard they're hiring a lot of people."

Is this news true or false?

"Of course it's true. My second aunt's third uncle's nephew works for the Su family and has firsthand information."

"I might get selected this time too! I was just a little short last time. If I can work for the Su family this time, I'll have something to look forward to this winter."

"..."

The refugees gathered together, discussing the matter animatedly.

For most migrant workers, there was little work to do this winter, making it even more difficult to earn money.

Let alone supporting a family or taking care of loved ones.

Even they themselves lived in extreme poverty, going to the porridge distribution stall every day to fill a bowl with porridge.

It's impossible to get enough to eat; I'm hungry every day.

Vegetables and meat were even more of a luxury; I don't think I've had them for several years.

Their favorite place to go is the area around the houses built for the farmhands in Sujia Village, partly because it has become a street and there are quite a few people there.

Although I have no money and can't afford anything, I can still wander around.

On the other hand, if you're lucky, you might get to know a few farmhands when you go there. Maybe they can put in a good word for you when you're hiring, and you'll get the job.

Every time I went to the long-term laborers' area, I saw those laborers eating with their mouths full of oil.

They couldn't help but be envious!

A monthly wage of one and a half silver dollars is a considerable income for most people in the countryside.

Moreover, you can buy rice and flour from the Su family, and the prices are much cheaper than in the city.

If there were no wives or elderly people, life would be more carefree. We could find an inn, order some wine and meat, and eat even better!

Many farmhands in Sujia Village rose to the rank of team leader, managing a hundred farmhands under their command, and living a much more comfortable life.

Of course, what they envied most was the Bai family in the Changgong District.

I heard that the head of that household was named Bai Guishan. He had become a long-term worker for the Su family and was lucky enough to meet the Su clan chief when he got married.

Then he became a servant in the Su clan chief's household, doing chores for the Su clan chief.

Later, Chief Su sent him to the clan's fields to manage a portion of them.

Rumor has it that he had several thousand long-term laborers under his command.

I earn one or two hundred yuan a month!

With this kind of life, let alone eating meat every day, even if you ate a bowl and threw it away, you still wouldn't be able to spend it all in a month.

Thinking about this, these people must be extremely envious.

"The Su family has arrived!"

Just then, someone shouted.

All the refugees rushed over.

In the very center of the crowd stood a young man, who appeared to be around twenty years old.

He was followed by several guards.

Seeing this, the refugees felt a pang of anxiety. They had initially thought it was a familiar face, the old clan chief recruiting workers.

If all else fails, another head of the Su family can come out and recruit workers!

Does this young man have any influence in the Su family?

"Looks like I came here for nothing. He's just a young man. He doesn't have much influence in the Su family. How many workers can he hire?"

"At most, we'll be lucky to get a few dozen or a hundred job openings!"

The vast rice threshing ground is usually used for drying grains, and this is just one of the rice threshing grounds.

The 30,000 mu of clan farmland in Sujia Village is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of mu of farmland in the outside world.

The annual grain production is over 100 million kilograms.

A total of four rice drying fields are needed, and each drying process requires hundreds of workers.

The grain needs to be laid out to dry in the threshing ground, and then all of it will be brought back in when the sun sets.

The rice field here is crowded with people.

"Looks like this winter is going to be tough!"

"Sigh! The little bit of porridge the Su family provides is not enough to fill our stomachs, and we have to get up early to queue up."

"Yes, if we get a bowl, there won't be any porridge left!"

"..."

These people started talking amongst themselves, not having high hopes for this recruitment drive.

It's winter, so there's not much work to do.

The farm work has been mostly done, and the Su family doesn't have that much need anymore.

As a result, countless refugees will freeze to death this winter.

"None of you know who this young man is?"

"This is the clan chief of Sujia Village!"

Many people in the crowd were unaware of Su Chen's identity.

Because Su Chen spends most of his time outside and rarely comes back.

He only occasionally wandered around the fields, which is why most of the refugees still didn't recognize Su Chen.

All I know is that Su Chen is a young man, and I guess he doesn't have a high status in the Su family.

When this news came out, everyone was stunned.

"What? You're saying this young man is the clan chief of Su Family Village?"

"I have heard that the clan chief of Sujia Village is very young, but it is really rare to see a clan chief this young."

"If the clan chief is recruiting, will he be hiring a lot of people this time?"

"Holy crap, Chief Su is truly a handsome man. My daughter is still unmarried. I wonder if she could become a maidservant by Chief Su's side."
