Bai Zhi’s house has been the focus of the villagers since it started. People visited it everyday wave after wave. After all, it was the first brick house in the village. They were also very curious about how the brick house in the town was built.

The village also has some mud builders. At ordinary times, they help the villagers build a mud house. They don’t have technical practice. They just learn simple skills right there from working. So when they heard that real carpenters will build a house in the village. Those mud builders, in order to learn some building techniques, they help the small workers on the construction site for free. They believed these skills will give them a fortune in the future.

Song Gong is a really nice person. Seeing the people really wanted to learn and willing to work hard. He simply let them joined in and gave them salary the same amount as those small workers, a total of 15 copper coins per day.

But who would have thought that, as soon as Song Gong invited Wu Jiang and Li Cheng in the village to do small work, will soon spread in the entire village? They received 15 copper coins per day. So now, is the time to slack off in farm work. Most of the young and strong men in the village doesn’t work. They only stay idle inside the house. But now, these men wanted to make some money.

They went outside the house. They were not worse than those two people. Even if they will only become a small worker, they will learn some building skills. It’s just, Song Gong originally brought a lot of people, and they’re number was enough, to the point that they were able to build the foundation of the house in just short period of time. Now that they finished building it, they don’t need any more small workers.

But these strong men refused to give up. They were people in this Huangtou Village. They think that Song Gong’s people were outsiders. Those people were robbing their supposed job. Just like now, when they wanted to help, they didn’t allow them. Aren’t they being so shameless?

This issue became troublesome. Song Gong and the others have to stop working because they can’t work normally.

Seeing things became like this, Wu Jiang and Li Cheng knew that this matter cannot be separated from the broken mouth of their loved ones at home. If their wife was not showing off about their earnings in the village, how will things become like this?

Wu Jiang stood up behind Song Gong, then shouted: “I was originally a mud builder. I came here to work to learn some building skills to Song Gong. Before, when I was working here every day for free, why didn’t you all came? But now that Song Gong has seen how long I’ve been working hard for free and decide to give me some compensation, you people trying to squeeze yourselves here? What are you trying to do? Can’t you accept seeing people receiving goodwill or something? Did I, Wu Jiang, owe you something? Or did Song Gong owe you something?”

Xu Laosan louder his voice by three points: “No one owes you, people. We didn’t come here for your money. We came here to work. What are we trying to do? We don’t want these outsiders to make money in our Huangtou Village. Isn’t this house build in Huangtou Villager? So, why these people working here and not us?”

Li Cheng, who was on the side, listened to this, couldn’t help but also get angry. He threw the brick in his hand and strode in front of Xu Laosan: “I say Xu Laosan, can you speak something reasonable? Song Gong is the foreman, who was invited by Bai Zhi. These folks are Song Gong’s people. They work together all the time. They are not only skillful but also has a tacit understanding. If they let you all join in, what will you do? And are you even a mason or a carpenter?”
