Seeing the situation in the village, everyone immediately knew who they should curry favor with.

Master Zhang owns some land and shops.

Compared to Yunhe Village, it is far inferior.

Looking at the rows of grand courtyards, young masters and ladies dressed in fine clothes were all surrounding Lin Jinyue, and they almost cursed the matchmaker to death.

Fortunately, those villages weren't too far from Yunhe Village, so they didn't spread rumors.

What do you mean by saying that the little girl from the Lin family has an ambiguous relationship with those young masters?

It's obvious that all those young masters are trying to curry favor with Lin Jinyue!

When Wang Mazi brought them back, he said, "You should go and build the small wooden house first. You can earn more money by working overtime. If you want to earn more money but don't want to travel back and forth, you can stay in our village for the time being."

When they found out that overtime work would provide late-night snacks and that overtime pay was 10 coins per hour, which would amount to 300 coins per month.

Those who initially didn't really want to stay in Yunhe Village suddenly became excited.

They can work through the night, let alone just an hour of overtime!

They even provide food in the evening.

Although these farmers have had good weather in recent years, they still can't afford to eat their fill.

There are only two dry meals during the busy farming season.

I still need to drink porridge tonight.

If you can't fall asleep at night and are lying in bed with your stomach growling with hunger, it's really uncomfortable.

This village even provides unlimited food!

At this point, someone asked Wang Mazi, "Can we really eat as much as we want?"

Wang Mazi nodded: "Sure, but let's be clear, rice and such are rare items. Late-night snacks will probably be potato rice, sweet potato rice, or some vegetarian noodles. Don't expect too much."

Everyone was taken aback.

What? Rice and noodles are provided? Isn't that great?

Some people asked what potatoes and sweet potatoes were, and Chen Mazi replied that they would find out when they tasted them.

Chen Mazi went to various villages to call for people in the morning. He hadn't eaten anything except some dry food. Now he was so hungry that he was dizzy. He shouted at a roadside stall, "Give me a rice bowl! Add some chili."

Many women and young men from the village set up stalls here, selling all sorts of things, like candied hawthorn skewers and fried skewers...

Chen Mazi ordered another batch of fried skewers, the bamboo skewers were full of meat.

This scene left the people from the other villages who had come to do manual labor completely bewildered.

Who doesn't know Chen Mazi?

His family was dirt poor, and he was getting on in years and still couldn't find a wife, yet now he's bought so much meat?!

Look at that stir-fried green peppers and pork over rice; half the plate is filled with meat.

And that bunch of meat skewers...

Goodness, the changes are incredible!

Thinking of what Chen Mazi said on the way, he was lucky to have caught a good time; otherwise, it would have been much more difficult for him to settle down in Yunhe Village.

Those from other villages, though they didn't say it outright, secretly looked down on them.

They thought that this group of people would definitely make money by taking people from their own village with them, so what chance did the people of Chenjia Village have?

Who would have thought that Chen Mazi would now also be living in a brick house.

They buy food without even blinking an eye.

Chen Mazi just handed over dozens of copper coins.

They also want to move into Yunhe Village!

Which direction should you kowtow in to get such a good opportunity?

So when the people from Wangxi Village arrived, they all wanted to curry favor with the people of Yunhe Village and with Wang Mazi.

"Oh dear, the gossipy woman from your village is here?"

"What's the use of having these eyes? You can't even tell good from bad. How dare you come here? You used to talk so much about people in our village."

"It wasn't enough that you said it in your village, you had to come to our village too. How can you be so heartless?"

One by one, they started to criticize.

The place was bustling with activity, and all the idle people from Yunhe Village went over to see what was happening.

Upon hearing that they were from Wangxi Village, everyone picked up their hoes and got to work.

The people of Wangxi Village were terrified.

The people of Yunhe Village fled famine all the way here, fighting against other people and wild beasts. They encountered many dangers along the way, but they survived them all.

They were all gentle and mild-mannered people, the kind of easy-going, nice-natured people you could tell anyone was.

But when they get fierce, their eyes are filled with a ruthless edge.

It was as if they could really crack open their heads with a hoe.

The matchmaker, Wang, was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she quickly knelt down to apologize: "I'm so sorry, I couldn't keep my mouth shut, I... I..."

Amidst the commotion, Lin Jinyue also came out.

The matchmaker, Wang, immediately scrambled to Lin Jinyue's side: "Oh dear, young lady, don't be so heartless! I was just saying a few words about you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Jinyue's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. "Uncle Dazhuang! Uncle Erzhuang!"

Liu Dazhuang and Liu Erzhuang, who had large knives at their waists, rushed over, followed by a group of men carrying knives.

The villagers of Wangxi Village were so frightened that their legs went weak, and they all knelt down in a row.

How come he's even more imposing than the county officials?

Lin Jinyue: "Get out of here! Don't you know our village is working for General Gu right now? If you delay the progress, ten heads won't be enough to pay for you!"

Wang Ergou was so frightened that his legs went weak. Worried that Lin Jinyue would complain to the adults, he hurriedly said, "No, we, we came here sincerely to apologize. It was Wang the matchmaker who went back and spread rumors. As for how to deal with it, you, you Yunhe Village can do as you please."

Lin Jinyue immediately said, "Second Uncle, please pick a few trustworthy people and take them to the county government. Tell them that they are interfering with our village's work and delaying the progress of military supplies."

Wang Ergou and his men were immediately terrified.

Lin Jinyue didn't particularly like the people from Wangxi Village.

She looked at the images from the system for a long time. The young men in Wangjia Village were all as thin as bamboo poles, clearly not cut out for manual labor.

His eyes were darting around, I wonder what mischief he was up to.

But judging from Wang the matchmaker's behavior, and knowing that Wang Xicun and his gang were no pushovers, it was better to avoid trouble.

Lin Jinyue wasn't afraid of them; she just didn't want to get involved at this time.

These days, everyone in the village is incredibly busy. If she hadn't stopped them, all the factories would have been working overtime until the next day.

It's better to keep it simple.

Give them a little sweetness, then give them a big stick.

Lin Jinyue gave Chen Mazi a wink.

Chen Mazi immediately understood Lin Jinyue's meaning and pleaded on her behalf, "Matchmaker Wang is Matchmaker Wang, and Wang Ergou is Wang Ergou. How about we give them a trial period first? If they do a good job and don't cause trouble, we'll continue to use them?"

Lin Jinyue nodded, "Alright, give me five more spots."

Chen Mazi quickly selected several married men, all of whom were very strong and robust.

He could figure it out with his bare hands: those skinny, somewhat good-looking guys definitely weren't there to do any real work.

Those people in Wangxi Village are really full of scheming.

However, they misjudged the person this time.

Chen Mazi then said, "It's like this, the probation period is three months, and you only get 300 cash per month. There's no overtime pay, and there's no meat in the dishes. If you're willing, come on over; if not, then forget it."

Lin Jinyue's eyelids twitched.

Chen Mazi truly lives up to her reputation as a trusted confidant; the terms he offered were incredibly generous!
