We need to find someone who can do carpentry to do this job.
However, Liu Yingying remembered that there was only one person in Taoyuan Village who knew how to do carpentry.

“Those wealthy landowners aren’t doing charity work. If they can use a work-for-relief program to ensure everyone has food to eat, then we don’t have to worry about them taking back double the amount of our money afterward.”
