Chapter 930 Li Family Elder Brother
Li had two older brothers, each with two sons, and both were older than Da Niu.
Including Li's father, the family had seven men, plus young and strong wives and daughters-in-law, so tending to a dozen or so acres of land was quite easy for them.
One or two strong laborers can certainly be freed up.
Shu Yu has no objection to hiring more people, as long as they are indeed diligent and easy to get along with.
So she nodded, "Okay, but I need to ask first."
As they were talking, footsteps came from outside the door, and Lu Dasong led Erniu in.
Before they could even enter, Li instructed Erniu, "Quickly, go to Lijia Village and find your uncle. Tell him that your sister Ayu needs people to repair a big house in the county town, and ask your uncle to go too. There will be wages. Go now."
Erniu was still a little dazed when Li pushed him out the door.
However, he quickly realized that on the way back with his father, he had heard many people talking about this matter, and he also knew that Sister Ayu had come back to recruit people.
He immediately turned and ran, rushing to Lijia Village.
Lijia Village is quite far from Shangshi Village. Wouldn't it be exhausting to run there like that? Besides, Erniu just came back from the fields without even having a sip of water. How could an eleven-year-old child possibly handle that?
Shu Yu immediately turned to Ying Xi and said, "You drive him there, and while you're at it, have Er Niu take you to my third aunt's house to ask."
She remembered that her third aunt had quite a few brothers from her maternal family. If she were to take in Li's brothers now, Liang would definitely cause a scene if she found out.
It's better to get it done once and for all than to create unnecessary trouble.
Anyway, my third aunt's brothers are nice people, very easy to talk to.
So, by that logic, none of her own uncles are any good.
Yingxi nodded and followed him out. Li Shi smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.
The courtyard gate closed again, and Shu Yu turned to look at Lu Dasong, "Uncle."
"Ayu is here." Lu Dasong stood at the door and dusted himself off.
Fan Zhong asked him from the side, "Da Song, why are you only coming back now? Lu Xiangjun has been waiting for you for ages."
Lu Dasong chuckled twice, "After Erniu and I finished our work in the fields, we went up the mountain. The villagers came looking for us but couldn't find us. We only heard that you were back when we came down the mountain."
He went to the side, scooped up a ladle of water, took a couple of sips, and only after feeling refreshed did he say, "I heard them say that A-Yu is here to recruit people, and that the house in the city is about to be renovated?"
"Yes, my dad has already prepared the blueprints."
Lu Dasong nodded, "I'll have Da Niu help you with the work later." He couldn't go by himself. Now it was just him and his wife at home. During the busy farming season, they had to take care of several acres of land, and they also had to ask Er Niu and Lan Hua to help.
Moreover, the ancestral graves on the mountain also need to be repaired.
Shu Yu didn't refuse. Brother Da Niu has been helping her look for a shop these past two days. She doesn't know how things are going now.
Li, however, rolled her eyes and asked, "Ayu, since you've hired so many people to work, someone has to help with cooking, right? Your family members are all busy, so why don't you ask your aunt to help you?"
Shu Yu shook her head, "No need, I bought more than ten servants, as well as cooks and female cooks, from the brokerage yesterday, that's enough."
Li, “…” Ten, a dozen or so servants?
Fan Zhong was also shocked. Good heavens, so many people?
This village lord is different; he's extravagant. I wonder how much silver he must have spent.
