The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 57 On the right track

Lin Yan was wondering how Zhang Qingfeng would help her recruit people, and she thought he would have to use a gong to call everyone over.

As a result, Zhang Qingfeng took Lin Yan directly to their door to ask. Zhang Qingfeng knew his generation very well; he knew which families had young adults and which families were good.

"Aunt Ge, are you home?" The first house Zhang Qingfeng chose was the home of Ge Liu's younger sister, Ge Chunyue, whom Lin Yan knew.

"Hey, Qingfeng, you're here." Ge Chunyue came out of the house carrying a woven basket.

Seeing Lin Yan behind Zhang Qingfeng, he asked in confusion, "Isn't this Lin Hai's eldest daughter? What brings you all here together?"

"Aunt Ge, we're looking for Linzi."

"Yulin went to work in the county with his father today. What do you need him for?"

"Auntie, we're building a house and we need help. We'd like to ask Brother Yulin for assistance."

"Oh! You're building a house!" Ge Chunyue was taken aback for a moment, then said:

“Okay, when they come back tonight, I’ll tell them that they won’t go to the county tomorrow, but will come directly to your house to help out.”

"That's wonderful! Thank you, Auntie." Lin Yan's face was full of smiles, and then she said:

"By the way, Auntie, we are paid, twenty coins a day. We do whatever the master tells us to do. It's mostly hard work, and lunch is provided."

"Oh! Why are you paying wages? In our village, people help each other out, we don't pay each other." Ge Chunyue frowned, probably because Lin Yan didn't understand.

"Because we hired craftsmen from outside, and they all have their own, we can't refuse to give them to the people in our own village," Lin Yan said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll tell Uncle Li and the others tonight." Ge Chunyue thought: Something is better than nothing, at least it won't interfere with my work. The Lin family is quite generous.

"That's right, Auntie, tell Linzi that Uncle Hai's family eats really well, and there's plenty of meat!" Zhang Qingfeng instructed.

"Yes!" Ge Chunyue was even happier and responded with a smile.

……

After leaving Ge Chunyue's house, Zhang Qingfeng took Lin Yan to another house.

“Uncle Ge is a hunter, but some people have seen wolves in the mountains, so he doesn’t go into the mountains much anymore. He just makes traps and catches whatever he can,” Zhang Qingfeng told Lin Yan on the way.

Upon arriving at the Ge family's house, as expected, they found many animal skins hanging in the courtyard, and a burly man with a thick beard was whittling wood.

"Uncle Ge!"

"Hey." The man looked up and saw Zhang Qingfeng.

"Qingfeng, what brings you here?"

We need your help with something.

"What's wrong? Tell me!" The man put down his work, thinking that he had encountered some difficulties.

"Uncle Lin Hai's family is building a house and they're short-handed!"

"Oh. I thought it was something else." Ge San sighed in relief.

"Is that Lin Hai's maid?"

"Yes, Uncle Ge."

"Why does Lin Hai's family need to build a house? Don't they live together?"

“The family has already separated, Uncle Ge.” Lin Yan grinned.

"They broke up? Good thing! I've never liked that old man Lin and his wife," Ge San suddenly exclaimed in admiration.

"Uh." Lin Yan didn't know what to say.

"No problem, I'll go take a look tomorrow."

"Alright, Uncle, there's a wage for doing work for Uncle Lin Hai's family! Lunch is provided." Zhang Qingfeng started promoting again.

"They even paid the workers! Looks like Lin Hai's family is doing well now!"

“But we’re all from the same village, so there’s no need to pay us wages,” Ge San said gruffly.

"Yes, yes, it's all agreed! We'll wait for you to come tomorrow," Lin Yan quickly said.

“Hey, you little rascal…” Ge San let Lin Yan interject, then paused for a moment.

…………

The next few households I visited were the same. When they heard that they would be paid, and that it wouldn't interfere with their own income, they were all very willing to come. After all, it doesn't matter where you earn money, and it's closer to home in the village.

Lin Yan was extremely relaxed on this trip with Zhang Qingfeng by her side; she didn't even have to do any publicity herself.

Zhang Qingfeng would describe how good the food was at each restaurant he visited, making everyone eager to get started.

“We found 13 people, so that makes a total of 30. That should be enough, right?” Zhang Qingfeng asked.

"That's about it. With the groundwork done, the rest will mainly be the work of the craftsmen." Lin Yan nodded.

"Okay, let's go back then!"

"it is good."

…………

That evening, when Lin Yu returned home, he saw that his doorway was piled high with bricks, tiles, wood, and piles of earth.

"Wow! How well is it built? How well is it built?"

Lin's father ruffled his hair and said with a laugh, "It's only the first day, what are you talking about building? We haven't even started building yet, we're just digging the foundation."

"How long will it take before we can move into our new house?!"

"If things go smoothly, it'll take about two months!"

"Huh? It'll take this long!" Lin Yu slumped his head.

"It's already very fast. We've hired thirty people to work. The main problem is that the house is big."

"I also want to see everyone building houses!" Lin Yu always went to class first before everyone started working. He hadn't seen Lin Yu since the day he was recruiting.

"It will be fine once you have a day off."

…………

The next day, Lin's mother prepared breakfast in the morning, and Lin's father was still responsible for taking Lin Yu to school, and then picking up Li Deshan, who arranged for the workers to do the work.

Aunt Wu, Sister Zhang, and Li Xiaocao arrived early, and together with Lin's mother, the four of them busied themselves preparing the dishes.

As for Lin Yan... she looked at the orderly scene and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the construction work should be on track and she could free up her hands to do other things.

Lin Yan followed Uncle Li's car to the county again. She mainly came to do two things: one was to buy wine and jars to prepare for making plum wine, and the other was to ask Fu Bo if he had found a buyer for the Ganoderma lucidum, because she felt that her 100 taels of silver was not enough to last her.

Little did she know that after she left today, another incident occurred in the Lin family.

The Lin family got some medicine from the county once, but found that it didn't help, though the intense itching wasn't as bad anymore.

After Lin Herui returned from the county, she cried for a long time, which made Li roll her eyes several times.

Grandma Lin felt sorry for her precious daughter. After several attempts to persuade her, she finally understood the reason. Her anger rose, "That Lin Yan, that little bitch, how dare she bully my daughter."

"No, Lin Hai must give me an explanation today. If he dares to disown me as his mother, I'll make sure he can never hold his head up in the village again."

Old Mrs. Lin brought Lin He Rui, Li Shi, and even asked Lin Lao Er to come along for support, but Lin Lao Er refused to go no matter what.

Li pinched him hard on the back, "Go away, you useless thing, you can't be relied on at all!"

As for Old Man Lin, he was resting on the kang (a heated brick bed). He had taken his medicine yesterday and finally felt a bit better, so he could get a good night's sleep.

And so, the three women and one man, the four of them, headed straight for Lin Hai's house.
