When she came down the mountain, she made a detour to check out the homestead area. She happened to run into Luo Jingyan there. Luo Jingyan was about to start building her house, so naturally, hers couldn't fall behind.

She saw a batch of blue bricks and tiles neatly arranged on Luo Jingyan's land. Luo Jingyan had actually bought bricks and tiles as well, but this time she had no interest in stealing them.

Because the matter of her space had exhausted her, she didn't have the energy to play those petty, boring games with Luo Jingyan for the time being.

She curved her lips into a smile and deliberately walked up to Luo Jingyan, "Luo Zhiqing, when will you start work here?"

"immediately."

"Now that yours is about to start, mine needs to hurry up too, so we can continue to keep each other company."

Luo Jingyan lowered her eyes slightly, not wanting to pay attention to her. She felt that Luo Jingyan was jealous of her, but since the other party didn't respond, she gave a light snort, her voice full of contempt, and then walked away.

Luo Jingyan saw that she had just come down from the mountain with nothing in her hands. Based on her understanding of Zhuang Feifei, she knew that Zhuang Feifei was a person who would not do anything without a reason, and she was definitely not just going up the mountain for a stroll.

Besides, it was almost dark by then, so it was even less likely that Zhuang Feifei was going for a leisurely stroll in the mountains.

Oh……

The next day, construction began at Luo Jingyan's construction site.

The six bricklayers she had previously hired all arrived. On the first day, they tidied up the construction site and started laying the foundation.

Zhuang Feifei was also eager to start construction. She had already laid the foundation, but all the bricks and tiles she had bought last time were lost, so she had to buy new ones.

Before the village had tractors, the only way to buy bricks and tiles was by using the village's oxcart. Now that we have tractors, what used to take two or three trips by oxcart can be done in one trip by tractor.

Compared to the slow-moving oxcart with its limited load capacity, she would certainly prefer a tractor, which would save her a lot of trouble.

As the only tractor driver in the village, Luo Jingyan would naturally accompany her if she needed to use the tractor. As a result, Luo Jingyan would be unable to supervise the construction site.

She approached the village head again: "Uncle Head, I want to use the village's tractor to haul bricks and tiles to build a house."

"It can be used, but a tractor is a machine, and it will wear out after a while. After all, it is village property. You can pay one yuan for each use, plus the cost of fuel. Everyone does it this way. This is assuming the tractor is not broken. If it is damaged, you will have to compensate for all losses."

Zhuang Feifei thought that the tractor hadn't broken down even after more than ten days of spring plowing, so how could she possibly break it by using it? Maybe the brigade leader didn't want her to use it, but she saw Luo Jingyan using the tractor to haul bricks and tiles.

"Okay, Captain, you're right, that's how it should be done."

"But you still need to find Luo Zhiqing and ask her to drive you to the brick factory."

Zhuang Feifei and Luo Jingyan didn't get along, and she was afraid that Luo Jingyan wouldn't listen to her: "Uncle Captain, you have the power, so please go and talk to Luo Zhiqing for me. I'm afraid I can't get her to listen to me."

The captain didn't have that kind of free time, and he didn't need to owe Luo Jingyan a favor because of Zhuang Feifei.

“Zhuang, I can agree to rent you the tractor, but I have no right to arrange Luo’s schedule. You’re both educated youth, and you live in the same compound, so what’s there to be shy about? Go on.”

Zhuang Feifei bit her lip. She decided to try going to Luo Jingyan.

"Alright then, I'll go find her."

She left the team leader's house and went back to the construction site to find Luo Jingyan.

“Luo, I need to buy new bricks and tiles to build my house. I have already rented a tractor from the brigade. You are the only tractor driver in our brigade. You have to come with me to the brick factory.”

Upon hearing her words, Luo Jingyan first rolled her eyes at her, then refused, "Can't you see how busy I am? I'm needed here, I can't leave for even a moment, I don't have time to go to the county with you."

“Luo, no one in our brigade can drive a tractor except you. If you can’t, who can come with me? No, you have to come with me.”

"So, according to you, I'm also tied to the tractor."

What do you think?

Zhuang Feifei raised her chin, as if to say, "That's exactly what I mean."

"Alright, since you say we're tied together, the person has to follow the tractor, and the tractor has to follow the person. If the tractor driver is busy and can't go, the tractor can rest too."

“Luo, if you don’t come with me, I’m going to tell the brigade leader about this and let him judge it. Driving the tractor was your duty.” She used the brigade leader’s name to scare Luo Jingyan.

“I get work points and wages for driving a tractor to plow the fields for the brigade. Who the hell is giving you free labor?”

Zhuang Feifei was furious and gritted her teeth at Luo Jingyan, "Luo, you tell me, are you coming with me to buy bricks and tiles or not? I can pay you a salary."

"Ten thousand yuan a day, I won't do it for less."

"You might as well just rob it."

"If you don't want to, then forget it. I don't have time to argue with you. I have my own things to do."

Zhuang Feifei stood in front of her, and as she reached for something, she instinctively pushed Zhuang Feifei.

As she pushed, Zhuang Feifei's body swayed. Perhaps because she also possessed a space within her, she seemed to sense the existence of Zhuang Feifei's space. That space trembled, and she was somewhat startled.

That's incredible!

The space around Zhuang Feifei was so unstable that it seemed as if she could fall off at the slightest touch.

Zhuang Feifei was pushed by Luo Jingyan, and she was unwilling to give up, so she reached out and pushed Luo Jingyan back.

Luo Jingyan has extremely strong willpower, and Zhuang Feifei's push did not cause her any harm at all.

Zhuang Feifei's mole on her collarbone was too noticeable, so she deliberately wore clothes with higher necklines these days.

Luo Jingyan was taller than her, and the two were now standing facing each other. Luo Jingyan subconsciously lowered her gaze and glanced at her collarbone, noticing that the mole there was unusually bright and larger than before. After seeing it, she immediately looked away. She ignored Zhuang Feifei and went to get a broom to sweep the construction site, completely disregarding Zhuang Feifei.

Zhuang Feifei was furious, but she couldn't do anything about Luo Jingyan.

Meanwhile, Luo Jingyan was sweeping the floor while pondering a question.

She recalled the push she had made to Zhuang Feifei earlier. Normally, once a space is bound to a person, it becomes extremely secure, even more secure than any other part of the person's body, forming a whole with the person. However, Zhuang Feifei's space felt like it could fall off at any moment. In addition, the red mole on her collarbone was constantly growing larger, so Zhuang Feifei's space was not far from being lost.

This proves Li Hongying's success from another perspective; Li Hongying will soon gain Zhuang Feifei's space.

Considering that Zhuang Feifei went up the mountain yesterday evening and deliberately avoided the crowd, it is highly likely that she went up the mountain to hide supplies.
