Helpers

"In addition, we have to get two more people to go into the mountains to cut some wood. Uncle Sun has already agreed to help with the carpentry work. This way, we can save on the money to buy wood."

"I've calculated it. With Li Xiao, you, and Shuanzi, we still need seven people from the village."

"This is easy. Now that there is no work in the field, there are many people in the village who are out to look for work. I'm sure everyone will be willing to come."

Lin Xiaoyue nodded. "I'm going to send some food to the village chief's house later. I'll see if I can ask him to help me find someone."

Uncle Wang paused.

"Good! With the village chief's help, it will be easier for your family to build the house!" He implied that this move could guard against the Lin family and some people in the village who might get jealous.
