Madam Wang pondered.
“Seven rooms and a large courtyard. It would probably cost 60 to 70 taels of silver! There’s also the labor cost, so you should prepare about 80 taels.”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife’s heart trembled when she heard that.
80 taels to build a house? Adding on the money for buying the land, if she wanted a better location, it would add up to more than 90 taels!
At that time, in order to feel at ease, they would probably have to prepare hundreds of taels of silver.
Thinking of the little money at home, Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife instantly felt weak.
Building a house was indeed not that easy.
Madam Wang saw the frustration in Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife and patted her shoulder again.
“Building a house is a big matter. Fortunately, you and Fourth Uncle Lin are both hardworking people. Sooner or later, you’ll be able to save up enough money.” She comforted her.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife came back to her senses and gave Madam Wang a grateful look.
“Yes, I am. 1 know.” Then, she continued to work with mixed feelings.
Seeing this, Madam Wang suddenly thought about something.
“How about…”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife looked at Madam Wang with a puzzled expression.
“Eh…” Madam Wang sighed.
“My husband is also working in the workshop.”
“Last night, I heard him say that they still need people over there.”
“They need full-time and part-time workers. Why don’t you ask your husband to apply?”
“Anyway, there aren’t many cabbages left in your land. Even if Fourth Uncle Lin only works for two hours a day, he can still earn 25 wen! If he is willing to come over at night, he would be able to earn 10 wen more every two hours!”
The transportation team was made up of strong men, and their wages were the highest in the entire workshop. Even if it was a part-time job, it would still be higher than the salary of washing vegetables.
Of course, the job was not easy.
As expected, Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife’s eyes lit up when she heard this.
“Can he do it?” Then, she asked Madam Wang nervously.
Madam Wang thought of something and couldn’t say anything encouraging.
“Uh, he should be qualified. If Madam Zhou is willing to help…I’ll ask my husband.”
Her husband was doing well in the moving team now, so he could indeed make the decision.
However, Fourth Uncle Lin was from the Lin family. She had to be careful with this matter.
She liked Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife and wanted to help her, but if the price of helping her was to risk her husband offending the Lin family, then forget it.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife was stunned for a moment, then she looked gratefully at Madam Wang.
“Alright, thank you! I’ll go see Madam Zhou tomorrow. Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, I am grateful!”
Seeing this, Madam Wang was very satisfied.
“Mmm.” She responded.
The two of them continued to work while chatting.
The next day.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife arrived at the workshop early and went to look for Madam Zhou before work started.
Fortunately, Madam Zhou came early today and managed to see her.
After listening to Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife’s plea and hearing her talk about her family’s current predicament, Madam Zhou felt a little sympathetic.
At the same time, she admired their idea of leaving the Lin family’s mansion.
But even so, Zhou Shi did not agree immediately.
“I understand. 1’11 pass on your words to Yue’er.” Madam Zhou said.
Fourth Uncle Lin was different from Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife. She had made the decision to keep Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife because she knew that the girl had no grudge against her.
However, she wasn’t sure about the girl’s attitude towards Fourth Uncle Lin.
In the evening, Zhou Shi met Lin Xiaoyue and told her about it.
Lin Xiaoyue was a little surprised.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s transformation was indeed huge. Besides Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife, she couldn’t think of anyone else who could be responsible for all of this.
“Do you agree?” Lin Xiaoyue smiled as she looked at Zhou Shi.
She finally realized that her sister-in-law was getting more and more interested in Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife.
Zhou Shi glanced at Lin Xiaoyue and nodded.
“The transportation team is short on manpower. Having more people can reduce some pressure.”
“If Fourth Uncle Lin knows his place and is grateful for your kindness, he will naturally do his best.”
“Of course, if the person is too stupid and plays tricks after entering the workshop, we can’t keep him. Moreover, we will not give him a chance anymore in the future..”
