Chapter 939: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 939: Large Dormitory
The Lai family had many siblings, so they had opened a food shop in town and were busy with it.
During busy farming seasons, Lai Jin Hai would usually go to Shishi Village to help his father-in-law, Lu Dasong, with some work. But now it seemed that he was driven here by Cui Hua to help with the house construction.
Cui Hua, as the eldest cousin, was truly worthy of being the eldest granddaughter of the Lu family.
When Shu Yu's carriage stopped at the mansion gate, the villagers of Shishi Village, who were resting, stood up and craned their necks to look this way.
They each held a small bowl of water. On such a hot day, Ying Dong couldn't let them suffer from the long journey without even drinking water.
Lu Erbai got off the mule cart and immediately spotted Liang Wangsheng standing at the corner. Seeing how much thinner he looked than before, Lu Erbai felt a tinge of sadness.
He patted Lai Jin Hai's shoulder and then greeted Fan Da Bao and the others, "It's hot outside. Don't stand here. Come inside and rest for a while."
Everyone was carrying their bundles, so at Shu Yu and Lu Erbai's words, they followed them into the mansion.
They had already noticed how large the house was from the outside, but now, as they passed through the shadow wall and looked up, they realized that their imagination had been narrow.
Was this really a three-section courtyard?
Some of them had worked in the three-section courtyards of wealthy families before, but no one had seen a house better than the one before their eyes.
They whispered among themselves, marveling at the prosperity of the Lu family. Lu Erbai had almost bankrupted himself trying to find this daughter, but perhaps even Heaven couldn't bear to see that. Now, the compensation they received was truly the envy of others.
Apart from the servants of the Lu family, there were also Zheng Gong and the group of laborers who arrived yesterday.
These people had been busy working since yesterday. Now, upon seeing Lu Erbai arrive, they just raised their hands to greet him before getting back to work.
The villagers from Shishi Village, seeing this, didn't want to be outdone and immediately rolled up their sleeves to join in.
They had come here to work, not to visit.
Lu Erbai quickly stopped them and pointed to the bundles in their hands. "There's no rush. Put your things down first."
As he spoke, he led them to the reception room.
The reception room originally had several rooms with broken doors and windows. But yesterday, materials were delivered, and they had hired workers, so Lu Erbai had them repair the doors and windows and tidy up the rooms.
However, the conditions were naturally limited, and they were all sharing a large dormitory.
Lu Erbai stood at the entrance of one of the rooms and said, "This is where we sleep at night. We'll be working for a while, and although there are rooms available, many of them haven't been fixed yet, so we'll have to squeeze for now. There are about three rooms like this, and you can discuss among yourselves where to stay."
"It's already great," He Ping said as he walked around the room. "When we used to work for other employers, their rooms weren't even this big. They were cramped dormitories where it was hard for ten people to even turn over."
But now they had three rooms, and with eighteen people sharing, each room would have six people, which was quite spacious.
The others nodded in agreement.
Lu Erbai smiled at their response. It was true, he had experienced such living conditions in the past.
"Alright then. If you need anything, come find me. If I'm not around, find Zheng Gong or Ying Dong."
Everyone agreed and quickly discussed which room to stay in. Then they put down their bundles and prepared to start working.
Seeing this, Lu Erbai could only assign tasks to them.
