Chapter 662 Everyone's Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred

However, as everyone stood up, Wang Changdong added, "Um, Miss Lu, please wait a moment, I have something to ask you."

Shu Yu stopped walking away, then turned around and came back to him.

The three teams looked back, somewhat uneasy, especially Fang Xiyue.

Ma Lu called out to them, "Alright, stop looking and go home. Miss Lu will be fine. Didn't you notice that she knows that gentleman next to the governor? The constable probably wants to ask about it."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickened their pace.

When they reached the corridor ahead, the three groups of people began to put their arms around each other's shoulders with great joy.

"Hey, we have a mule cart now."

"From now on, we can take a day off every two weeks. Tsk, what incredible luck we've had!"

"There is still one tael of silver left."

"We should be able to get the mule cart tomorrow, right? How about we go and have a look around the prefectural city after we get it?"

The group discussed excitedly, and Fang Xiyue, who was standing to the side, was also very happy.

She clutched the silver in her hand, carrying the somewhat heavy grain, her face full of excitement.

Ma Lu approached her for some reason and whispered, "Miss Fang, from now on, Miss Lu will be working at this manor. You'll be the only one left in your ninth team. I'll talk to the constable another day and have you join our third team."

Fang Xiyue was stunned and stopped in her tracks to look at him. "Is...is it okay?"

She had actually thought it through; if Shu Yu didn't go hunting, then she probably couldn't go into the mountains alone either. Fortunately, the officer in charge now wasn't Master Lan, and Wang Changdong was easy to talk to; she should be able to apply to go back and clear the land again without much trouble.

Although she preferred hunting in the mountains.

She was momentarily dazed when Ma Lu invited her.

The rest of the third team stopped and looked up at her, their faces beaming with joy. "Yes, Fang, we've been in the mountains for several days now. We even hunted a big tiger together today. You know our character, so don't worry, we won't mistreat or bully you like those people in the fifth team did."

Fang Xiyue quickly shook her head, "That's not what I meant. I was just afraid I would hold you back."

"How could you be a hindrance? Your ability to spot prey is better than any of ours. You're so good, we'd love for you to be in the team."

The others echoed her sentiments, and Fang Xiyue pursed her lips, "Then, I'll go back and discuss it with my parents."

"OK."

The group happily agreed and quickly walked to the front hall.

As soon as they appeared, the hunting party rushed forward and surrounded them.

The three teams exclaimed "Whoa!" and subconsciously took a few steps back. Upon closer inspection, they were astonished to find that the hunting teams had all returned and were crammed into the front hall; no one had left.

“Ma Lu, did you really kill that tiger? What did the governor say to you? I heard that he rewarded each of you. What did he reward you with? Tell us quickly.”

"Yes, yes, tell us quickly."

Ma Lu coughed lightly, "Actually, it's nothing. They gave us a mule cart and a two-day holiday in January."

"Wow..." everyone exclaimed, their expressions of envy, jealousy, and resentment were all too obvious.

"This is wonderful! There are even mule carts?!"

"A two-day vacation a month? That's awesome!"

Someone pointed to Fang Xiyue beside them and asked, "What about her? Is she like you guys?"
