Upon hearing that his second uncle and the others also had to work, Ersan and Sizhu felt slightly better.
Uncle can't always be superior to them in everything.
Compared to their strength, how can rivers and lakes compare?
Needless to say, the two girls, Daya and Erya, are naturally weaker than men, and they can't compare no matter how you look at them!
"Look, everyone! What's that?!" Li Wu shouted loudly as he stood up and stretched his limbs, looking into the distance.
The others were startled and straightened up, following Li Wu's gaze back to where they had come from. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they exclaimed, "That's a donkey!"
So many donkeys!
The dirt road was lined with donkeys, or more accurately, donkey carts, with each donkey pulling a cart.
Strong men and women drove their donkey carts, stopped at the side of the narrow road where handcarts were not allowed, and came over with digging tools from the carts.
"Ten donkey carts and one ox cart! I counted them very clearly." Fan Xiaoliu jumped up and said excitedly.
Xu Laosan asked in confusion, "Doesn't Fan Jin's family only have an oxcart and a donkey cart? How come there are so many?"
"Hey, we'll find out when they get here. If you ask me, where else could so many heads come from? Of course, they must have been bought," Li Qiang said enviously.
Everyone was looking at the donkey cart, their envy barely concealed.
How could I not be envious? Eleven livestock, driving them to haul soil, and pulling a cart step by step yourself are two completely different things.
A person gets tired after a trip, and can't even come back empty. But it's different for livestock. Coming back empty is like a rest for them.
Moreover, the livestock pulls much more weight than they do!
Fan Qian's face was extremely ugly.
The second, third, and fourth pillars had envy, jealousy, and hatred in their eyes. They hated that these animals weren't their own, and they hated that their second uncle had so many servants, while Daya, Erya, Jianghehu, and Hu didn't have to come to help carry soil!
What good is their strength if they're still doing the same work as the servants in my second uncle's household?
When Feng Da and Feng Er arrived, the men greeted each other, while the five women, including Li Dani and Erni, greeted Wang Guifen and the other women.
"Da Ni, how come there are nine more donkeys all of a sudden?" Zhao Lan asked excitedly as she stepped forward.
The others perked up their ears to listen.
Li Dani and the others had been instructed by Shui Qing on what to say, so they immediately smiled and raised their voices: "The boss said there's a lot of work to do at home, so he bought some livestock to help us. That way we won't be too tired, and we can continue to do other work later."
"These donkeys must be worth a lot of money, right?" Aunt Li asked enviously.
"Of course! It's really expensive! But the owner said it's fine, and even said that if someone can buy it, he'll buy a careful maid to help the madam."
Aunt Zhang was shocked. "Aren't the five of you enough to help out?"
“Hey, we’re clumsy and clumsy, how could we possibly help the lady? Besides, we’re strong, we’re better suited for farm work in the fields.”
Aunt Zhang thought it made sense, and Zhang Xiaocao, who was standing next to her, asked with her eyes shining, "Do you think I'm okay?"
She wanted to follow Sister Shuiqing to earn some money so her mother could have a better life, and also learn some skills!
Wang Qiuyue teased with a smile, "You can't do that. Your mother can't bear to part with her child, but our madam wants to buy people. Why don't you ask your aunt if she can bear to part with her child?"
Upon hearing that it was about buying people, the other interested families immediately deflated.
Fan Qian's heart skipped a beat.
Sun Jinhua scoffed and muttered, "They really don't know their own limitations. Aren't all these servants enough? They still need to buy more people! Aren't they afraid of shortening their lifespan?"
"Shut up!" Fan Qian glared at her fiercely.
Sun Jinhua didn't know what was wrong with her husband, so she shut her mouth in resentment.
