Upon arriving at the location, they first looked around. Lin Shui's father said, "Just smash down these earthen walls and destroy the base as well."
Upon hearing this, the two nodded, rubbed their hands together, and began to swing their hoes, smashing the earthen walls and foundations.
"Dad, do you think we should also do the same for Lin Xiaoxiao's yard next door?" Lin Shui asked.
Lin Shui's father said, "Let's do it. Since we've already done it here, let's do it there too. We can't be so rigid. These two people clearly have grudges against your wife. She said she'd smash Han Qiushi's things, so we can't just smash Han Zhiqing's things."
"You need to think things through more before you do things."
“It’s obvious that Wan Qing dislikes Lin Xiaoxiao more. If we do more work, Wan Qing might think more highly of you, and things will go more smoothly in the future.”
"You need to use your brain to think."
Lin Shui chuckled and flattered his father, "Father always thinks ahead. Having lived a few more years of life makes all the difference."
"Second brother, you must remember your father and eldest brother. We risked our lives to help you so that you could have a better life. When you marry Wan Qing and become successful, don't forget your family."
Lin Shui vigorously wielded his hoe and said, "You can rest assured about that. As long as I marry that woman, I will definitely make him get you all a job."
“Not only my eldest brother has one, but my father and mother will have one too.”
With Lin Shui around, the whole family was very happy. They had amazing energy late at night and never got tired.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Shui's father said to Lin Shui, "No matter what you do in the future, you must do it thoroughly."
“Take this mud wall, for example. You have to break it into pieces and fill it directly into the damaged foundation. It’s best to compact it with a hoe so that even if they want to break it open, it will take them a lot of effort.”
“If we just do a shoddy job, the house will be under construction again in a couple of days, and all our work will have been for nothing.”
The two sons thought their fathers were absolutely right, saying, "Yes, Dad is very thoughtful."
"We will listen to you. We will do whatever you tell us to do."
"Dad, if that hadn't happened at home, with your abilities, you might have become the village chief."
"When it comes to intelligence, who can compare to Dad?"
The two sons of the Lin family praised their father, Lin Shui, to the skies in one night.
“You guys remember, the foundation has to be smashed too. When they work on it, it might be worn out, and by the time of the autumn harvest, the house might still be unfinished... leaving Han Qiushi unable to live in this house.”
"From now on, we'll have to pay other people's wages more."
"Others can get it done for a few dozen yuan, but he has to spend a hundred or so yuan to move into a house."
If this gets back to Wan Qing, he'll be overjoyed; his family will surely reap even greater benefits.
So the two of them worked on the foundation there, while the other person knocked on the fence of Lin Xiaoxiao's yard.
But the Lin family didn't know that not far away, Wang Dazhuang was hiding in the bushes with a group of young men.
Seeing the Lin family father and son working so hard, making a loud, satisfying sound.
"Dazhuang, they've been working on this for so long, aren't we going to go out yet?" one of the young men who helped Han Qiushi build the house asked.
Wang Dazhuang looked at Lin Shui and the others and said, "Wait a little longer, until they can't work anymore before going out, so they don't have the energy to run again later."
At first, Han Qiushi said that their house would be vandalized, but Captain Wang and Wang Dazhuang did not believe it. At Han Qiushi's request, they came to take a look and sure enough, someone came to smash the house.
Han Qiushi said that Wan Zhiqing sent Lin Shui to do this bad thing.
"If we let them dig like that, the work later on won't be so easy. They might actually be right, and things could get messy by the time of the autumn harvest."
"We agreed that the house would be ready in a few days, and it was almost ready for people to move in, but this family of bastards came and messed things up."
You should know that this house was built under the leadership of Captain Wang, and the people who came tonight are the ones who are repairing Han Qiushi's house.
Seeing their hard-earned houses being destroyed by hoes, everyone was angry.
This is infuriating!
Han, the educated youth, paid them, and they worked.
If you take someone's wages, you have to make sure their house is in good condition.
Now that the house is in this state, Han Zhiqing can stay there later, but... has all their hard work been for nothing?
Who will pay for the house repairs? Should it be paid by Han, the educated youth, or by them?
What kind of situation is this?
That damned Wan Zhiqing is a complete scoundrel. He's so heartless; he not only cheated Han Zhiqing, but he also dragged them all down with him.
"Dazhuang, are we really just going to let them keep smashing things like this?"
"If we rush out now, the situation won't be so bad."
Wang Dazhuang couldn't help but recall Han Qiushi's instructions. He meant to let them smash things, and it would be best to make the whole village aware of the matter, and then catch them now.
I reckon they'll just give him a small punishment and then release him.
If they apologize properly and beg for forgiveness, the matter might just be over.
"Don't worry, Han Zhiqing said that you won't suffer any losses in this matter."
“Once we’ve all finished, we’ll leave the rest to Lin and Han, the educated youth. They must already have their ideas.”
"They will definitely handle these matters well in due time. Following Lin Zhiqing's example, they will certainly not let you suffer any losses."
"Han Zhiqing is a good person, he would never let you suffer like this."
The men lying in ambush here thought Wang Dazhuang's words made sense, so they didn't say anything more.
"That Wan Zhiqing is really... How can there be such a vicious woman? It seems she deserved to fall into the cesspool. She's disgusting."
"That's right, Lin Zhiqing is really good. She pays them well and promptly for their work, and she even gives the children candy and meat. Plus, she's beautiful. Even a blind person would know which woman to like."
"These days, if someone is too nice, others will resent it and everyone will want to ruin their reputation."
Several people were standing up for Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiu.
