Mo Yuan had previously told Mo Youxian and others that he would only be responsible for managing the factory, and wouldn't interfere with the brick kiln. After all, the workers were all experienced veterans who knew what they were supposed to do and didn't need anyone to teach them how to do it. Moreover, everyone cooperated very well, and there hadn't been any major problems. Therefore, Mo Yuan felt there was no need to frequently visit the brick kiln.
After Mo Yuan and the others cleaned the brick kiln and found everything was normal and ready for production, he never went back. Since he knew nothing about brick making, he decided to delegate the work to the villagers. As long as they guaranteed quality and completed the task according to requirements, he would buy all the bricks. Although the kiln's production capacity might be limited, Mo Yuan believed he could handle the bricks. He planned to use the surplus to build his new house.
When Mo Yuan told his family about his idea, he immediately received their support. Everyone was very excited about building a new house and offered to help. After all, everyone was currently crammed into a few mud-brick houses, with cramped living space and a stifling environment. They had long yearned for a spacious and bright new house. Everyone was full of enthusiasm and initiative for building the new house, and everyone was happy to be involved.
In fact, even if the eldest sister's family hadn't returned, Mo Yuan's family's situation wouldn't have been much better. Due to the large number of family members, their living conditions were extremely cramped. Although the eldest sister, Mo Hongying, didn't take up much of everyone's living space after returning to her parents' home with her two children—instead setting up a small shed for storing farm tools and other miscellaneous items—the other family members, even disregarding the three of them, longed for their own independent room and to be able to move into a spacious and bright new house.
The Mo couple, along with their elder brother and sister-in-law, felt this problem most acutely. Every night, when the couple wanted to have normal sexual intercourse, they had to suppress their voices, afraid to make the slightest sound. After all, the soundproofing in their dilapidated house was extremely poor; even the slightest noise would travel far. This situation made them feel incredibly embarrassed, yet they were helpless to change it.
In the past, due to economic constraints, every household was very poor, so the need for a new house was merely a luxury, something they could only dream about occasionally in their spare time. However, now, through a period of hard work, Mo Yuan's family has accumulated a certain amount of wealth. Therefore, building a new house can finally be officially put on the agenda.
Therefore, everyone attached great importance to Mo Yuan's factory construction. After all, building a new house requires a prerequisite: Mo Yuan must first complete the factory here. Only then will there be enough bricks left to build the new house.
If it weren't for this reason, Mo Youshan would have already suggested prioritizing business development and not neglecting his main duties. However, regardless, today was an important day. Apart from Mo Gang and his wife bringing his second sister to set up their stall as usual, everyone else came to help, including Mo Yuan, who even specially called his dog.
He believed that Gouzi was intelligent, quick-witted, willing to learn new things, and hardworking, making him the most suitable assistant in his mind. Therefore, he decided to focus on training Gouzi, hoping that Gouzi could help handle various matters, big and small, when he was not in the village in the future.
Although construction of the brick kiln has begun, it will take several days before the bricks can be used even after they are fired. Fortunately, the foundation can be dug now, and everyone quickly got to work, creating a lively and bustling scene.
The craftsmen who came this time were all carefully selected skilled workers, so Mo Yuan wasn't too worried about the quality of the project. He only needed to introduce the general plan to everyone and show them a drawing he had made himself. This drawing depicted the structure and layout of the house in detail, making it easy for everyone to understand.
The foreman in charge was named Mo Shuisheng, whom Mo Yuande addressed as "brother" according to seniority. He and the team leader, Mo Chunsheng (Mo Youxian's eldest son), were cousins. He led the villagers in completing most of the village's construction projects.
This time, he was once again elected as the foreman, responsible for communicating and negotiating with Mo Yuan, the homeowner. Seeing how clear and concise Mo Yuan's blueprints were, Mo Shuisheng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Brother, you're truly capable! We've never heard of you studying these things before. But these blueprints are indeed impressive, simple and easy to understand. With them, you'll be perfectly fine even if you're not on-site. Don't worry, I'll definitely lead everyone to build the house to a high standard!"
This was exactly the result Mo Yuan had hoped for. Of course, he knew in his heart that his skill level was not high, and the other party's praise had a certain degree of deliberate intent.
Mo Yuan was actually used to this situation. After all, before marrying Lin Xue, his reputation in the surrounding villages was notorious, even infamous. He used to frequently do petty theft, which earned him the contempt of everyone, especially the villagers, who deeply hated him.
However, because of Mo Youshan, although everyone disliked him, they dared not easily criticize or insult him. Therefore, they could only choose to avoid him as much as possible, even refusing to look him in the eye. However, everything changed after Mo Yuan began to change. Especially when he sent Mo Yougan's family to prison, everyone's attitude towards him completely changed.
Today, everyone holds Mo Yuan in awe, fearing that they might offend him and suffer the same fate. However, they are unaware of the truth, believing that Mo Yougan and his family are imprisoned entirely because of Mo Yuan. In reality, however, Mo Yougan and his family deserved their fate. If they hadn't broken the law, they wouldn't have reaped the consequences and ended up in jail.
