Chapter 360 Being Hated
"Yes, yes, miss, don't worry, Brother Yan is very capable." Before Ma Yan could speak, the brother next to him spoke first, saying, "Brother Yan has helped many people build houses in the past. Because of his fair prices, he caused resentment among his peers and was later suppressed. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to wait here at the dock every day waiting for work."
"Since you can build a house, go back and pack up. I'll have someone take you to the island this afternoon. By the way, you'll probably be staying on the island for quite a while. Is that okay with you?"
"No, no, as long as there's work to do and I can make money, I can stay as long as I want."
"Okay, it's settled then. Go home and say goodbye to your families, then come find me here in an hour."
"good!"
The three of them did not wait for work, but happily went home to say goodbye to their families. Knowing that they had found work and that it might take a long time, their families were happy but also a little worried.
Ma Yan said goodbye to his family, reunited with his other two brothers, and headed straight to the dock. When they arrived, Yue Fuli was not at the dock, but had gone to deal with other matters.
Not seeing anyone, Ma Yan's two brothers were a little worried and said, "Brother Yan, we didn't see that lady. Could she be lying to us?"
"Yes, Brother Yan, I told my family that I have to go out to work. What should we do if that young lady doesn't come?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't they say it would be in an hour? It's not time yet, is it?"
"Isn't it time yet? I thought it was already here."
"One hour, how long have we been back?"
"Well, we were too impatient."
"Okay, stop talking and just sit and wait. That lady doesn't look like someone who doesn't keep her word."
"Listen to Brother Yan."
The three of them sat at the dock and waited. Time passed little by little, but Yue Fuli still didn't show up, which made them worried again.
During this time, some people asked them to carry goods, but they refused them all because they were afraid that Yue Fuli would not be able to find them when she came.
As the hour was almost up and Yue Fuli still hadn't appeared, the three of them became anxious again.
"Brother Yan, we weren't deceived by that lady, were we?"
"Isn't it possible?"
"It's already been an hour, and the young lady hasn't appeared yet."
"Wait a little longer, maybe something delayed you."
"All right."
Yue Fuli was indeed delayed at this time, because she was called in for questioning by the government. It turned out that the old lady had died inexplicably, and the county magistrate suspected that Yue Fuli had someone kill her.
Fortunately, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. The old lady was actually pushed by her little grandson, and she hit her head on the threshold and died from excessive blood loss.
Because of this delay, by the time we arrived at the dock again, it was already two hours later.
After Yue Fuli came out of the county government office, he asked someone to send the old lady and others to a courtyard in the city to settle down, and then he headed to the dock.
On the way to the dock, Yue Fuli was a little worried, worried that Ma Yan would leave before she could wait. But when she arrived, she found the three of them still waiting at the dock, and they seemed to be arguing with someone.
Ma Yan never thought that he would be hated by someone just because he refused to carry the goods once, and the person in question was his neighbor.
So, after the neighbor finished carrying the goods, he saw Ma Yan still sitting on the dock and couldn't help but mock him.
