As soon as Mrs. Ji heard this, she finally recovered from today's series of events.

How dare these workers come to their homes to cause trouble and force their families to pay their wages immediately. If they don't pay, they will demolish the house, right?

Do you really treat their whole family as weak persimmons?

"No one can say that!" Mrs. Ji said angrily, "You guys look like this now, why don't you think about why you wanted to come so much in the first place?"

As soon as these words came out, most people felt a little shameless and lowered their heads and said nothing.

Wang Goudan had no such worries, he even bit back:

"We thought your family was reliable at first, but who knew you would go back on your word."

"Where did our family go back on their word?" Sister-in-law Ji stared, her voice sharp.

"You know what you have done." Wang Goudan pointedly pointed out, "The food we agreed on at the beginning can now be turned away, not to mention the wages!"

Ji Liangqing happened to hear this when he was out, and his eyes turned cold.

As a member of the Ji family who often travels away from home, he also "understands" Wang Goudan to a certain extent and knows that this person has a bad reputation in the village.

He is indolent, likes to take advantage of others, and he is also very greedy.

At that time, Wu Er was injured and needed someone, and others casually said they would bring in someone to fill in. He was busy taking care of things and didn't think much about it. How could he have wanted to bring in such a disaster.

By the time he recovered, it was too late. This guy had been doing the work for several days, so he had no choice but to give up and pay more attention.

The first few days were fine, but these two days I couldn't stand the trouble, probably because of the lack of meat.

“It’s not that our family didn’t buy meat on purpose! It’s because there is no meat for sale in the county!”

he explained.

"Listen, everyone, how ridiculous this is!" Wang Goudan showed a funny expression and spread his hands towards the big guy:

"Is there still a shortage of meat in the city? Which meat stall is short of meat! I've only heard of people who are short of money!"

Now is the time to plant crops. Everyone is busy digging in the fields, so how can they have time to go to the city?

It's even more impossible for those uncles and aunties, they save a lot, and even if they have some money, they want to buy something good for their grandchildren.

Not knowing why, they just helped.

"That's right! This is such a ridiculous excuse. Whenever I go to the city, meat is sold, just to see if you can afford the money."

"I used to think that the Ji family were all honest people and straightforward towards us, but now it seems that their family is full of lies!"

"How could I see it before? I still know people and faces but not the heart!"

"..."

The children of these uncles and aunts all live an average life, and the income they earn from working so hard for most of their lives is not as much as the Ji family earned after moving here for a year.

As a result, their hearts were naturally unbalanced. In the past, it was because of the pressure from the village chief's family, and nothing happened to the Ji family, so they could only murmur silently in their hearts.

But in this situation, how could they hold it in? They said everything out loud, as if they were proud of themselves.

Mrs. Ji was so angry that she sneered repeatedly and had to explain:

"My little granddaughter went to the city to see a doctor the night before yesterday. She spent a lot of money. Now there is really no money left at home. How about this, wait for the shopkeeper in the city to come to collect the wine, and then we will pay some wages to everyone. What do you think?"

She has already made a huge concession, and she would not have compromised like this if she had not been afraid that the house would not be completed.

In my heart, I hated Wang Goudan who instigated the crime, and thought that this person could no longer come to work at home.

"No!" Before anyone else could say anything, Wang Goudan shouted again: "We agreed to settle our wages every day! You dismissed us with just one sentence! Who knows how much money you will give us then!"

The others were already excited when they heard what Mrs. Ji said, but when Wang Goudan interrupted, everyone hesitated again.

Who doesn’t want to get money quickly? Wang Goudan had previously encouraged everyone to come over and get money. They had tasted the sweetness, and now they naturally wanted to follow suit and try more.

So they all remained silent and looked to the side, tacitly accepting that Wang Goudan would be their spokesperson.

Ji Liangqing looked around and saw everyone's attitude. He knew there was no room for maneuver, so he had to deal with it and planned to go to the city to sell wine tomorrow.

After hearing the guarantee, everyone's faces were full of smiles, and they put their arms around Wang Goudan, feeling that people who usually disliked him started to like them.

Wang Goudan has gained prestige among so many people, who have the equivalent of the entire village's labor force, and he is very arrogant.

With a proud face on his face, he walked back amidst everyone's praise. While he was talking big words, he couldn't help but slander the Ji family.

"Ji's family? If it weren't for such a good place in our village, would their family be where they are today? We all owe them a debt of gratitude!"

"No! For such a down-to-earth person like us, the foundation we build for him will be beautiful and solid. Honest people are easily bullied!"

"Hahaha, wherever, I am doing this for everyone! I know everyone is tired! I am tired too!"

People walked far away and could still hear his rough laughter.

Mrs. Ji rolled her eyes, entered the room and immediately summoned a group of juniors to hold a family meeting.

"Third brother, you take the wine to the city early tomorrow morning and sell it, and the money you get back will be distributed to those people."

Ji Er's sister-in-law looked dissatisfied: "Mom, but everyone's rule is that you won't be paid until the house is finished!"

Sister-in-law Ji was very upset when everyone came to her door today. She was still very angry now.

Sister-in-law Ji also had a stern look on her face, "But now that so many people are making such an ugly scene, it is only proper to stabilize them first."

Ji Liangqing had another level of worry, and he looked suspicious:

"This time they gathered to cause trouble, so we gave them the wages. What if they want the wages again next time?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole family fell silent.

Yes, what if they want wages again next time?

The house cannot be repaired in one or two times. They are now riding on their necks, making troubles whenever they want, going on strike whenever they want, and even threatening to destroy the foundation.

Excessive indulgence will only make them more aggressive.

Moreover, Mrs. Ji thought even deeper.

They all admired the twenty cents in words, but what if they themselves demanded a forcible increase in price?

If they open their mouths, they don't know how much money they have to fill in.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Ji stared at Ji Liangqing closely:

"When you go to the city this time, in addition to selling wine at the Huajian Restaurant, there is another task for you."

"Ask Shopkeeper Ye to help find out if there is a construction team in the city that specializes in building houses for people?"

After a pause, she said again under the surprised eyes of the family:

"If so, how much does it cost per day?"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent again.

I also understood what Mrs. Ji meant.

If there is one in the city, then no longer ask these people in the village to help repair the house.
