Lu Changping noticed that more and more people were joining in the snatching battle, and quickly dissuaded her: "Auntie, we have done enough. Let's take a break. We will continue to do this work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. When Changle comes back, I have to persuade her Take a break, doing too much and being conspicuous is not a good thing."

Mrs. Lu thought for a while, and felt a chill running down her spine. She was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

She only thought about letting her eldest daughter stand out, forgetting how terrifying and cruel some refugees were. It was not a good thing to be too conspicuous and noticed by those cruel guys.

After Lu Changping's biological mother passed away, he was brought up by Mrs. Lu, so he respected and cared for Mrs. Lu as if he were his own mother.

As soon as he saw Mrs. Lu's expression, he knew that she was frightened, and said quickly: "Auntie, don't worry. Changle's exposure to Mrs. Xu is enough to make many people afraid of us filing a lawsuit."

He thought he was unable to protect Lu Changle, so he didn't want his cousin to show off too much.

Lu Changping thought for a while and then said: "Uncle, I want to talk to Mrs. Xu and ask my father to make steamed buns."

His father used to work as a cook in the kitchen of a big landowner. His cooking skills were good and he was rewarded by the landowner many times.

Before the change, Mrs. Lu did not dare to express her opinion: "You should go back and discuss it with your second uncle. Mr. Xu looks fierce, but he is actually quite kind."

Lu Changping smiled and nodded. He was so happy not only because his opinions were recognized, but more importantly because he saw his auntie changing for the better.

Perhaps in the near future, the aunt will no longer be the poor woman who was beaten and scolded by the uncle at will, but a strong mother who can support the family and protect her children.

Lu Changle dragged the branch back. When he saw Lu Changping smiling, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Brother, have you encountered anything happy?"

Lu Changping did not answer: "Changle, please stop pulling the branches. We have done enough, there is no need to work too hard."

"Brother, I want to do more..."

Before Lu Changle could finish his words, he was interrupted by his mother, Mrs. Lu: "Changle, listen to your elder brother. You have performed well enough, don't work too hard. You see there were many people following you just now. Let's not stand out. .”

Lu Changle looked at her mother's fingers and found that many people had unkind expressions. Realizing that her performance had been criticized, she scratched the back of her head in embarrassment: "Brother, you are right. Mom, I'll sit down then. Take a break."

Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief, took Lu Changle's hand and told her in detail how earning money would be beneficial to the marriage.

Lu Changle showed the coquettishness of a little daughter, and at the end she said with great envy: "I am so envious of Madam Hou. Mr. Hou is so kind to Madam Hou and the eldest lady."

Mrs. Lu nodded her eldest daughter's forehead and spoke with eyes full of expectation: "I don't dare to expect you to find a husband as good as the Marquis. I just ask that your man will not beat or scold you and be able to support the family." It would be better to have a small house for you to live in."

Lu Changping couldn't help but interjected: "Auntie, have you seen those big trees on the east side? I heard they are specially used to build beams for our house!"

Mrs. Lu was overjoyed: "Really? No wonder it needs to be placed separately so that we can carry it back! Such a clever method must have been thought up by Mr. Hou!"

Lu Changping: "Well, auntie, Changle, let's behave well! When the river embankment is repaired, we will repair the house on credit with the government."

With land and houses, they have truly taken root in this land.

Mr. Lu was in a high mood, with bright eyes: "Yes! Changping, Changle just happened to be back. Why don't we go find Mr. Xu. We won't rush to work. Let's talk to Mr. Xu and let the second uncle come over to make steamed buns."

"Okay." Lu Changping and Lu Changle looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Lu Changping pulled his cousin a few steps behind the enthusiastic Lu, and said in a low voice: "Changle, we are really lucky. We met such kind-hearted nobles as Mr. Hou and Mr. Xu. Not only can we have enough to eat and drink, , grandpa can also eat hot steamed buns... Our family's life is getting better and better."

Lu Changle nodded in approval, hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Yes, we are really lucky. Brother, if my mother could make money and support her younger brothers and sisters, would my father not beat my mother casually? Already?"

Lu Changping did not answer this question.

He personally has a negative attitude. The authorities are obsessed with the onlookers. The nature of the uncle is to bully the weak and fear the strong. He vents his emotions and demonstrates his family status by beating his wife. This behavior is really disgusting.

Lu Changping believes that a truly capable man should be an upright man like Huo Yunchao, who works tirelessly to let his wife, children, and children live a good life, instead of going home to beat his wife and children when they are angry outside.

Lu Changle pursed her lips. She knew that her father was not living up to expectations, but she still hoped to hear her eldest brother say, "Yes, my aunt will not be beaten again."

Mrs. Lu greeted excitedly: "Changle, Changping, you guys walk faster!"

Butcher Xu did not refuse Mr. Lu's request: "Ask him to come to see me tomorrow morning and make a tray of steamed buns in front of me. If he doesn't do well, then go home and stay."

He noticed that there were not enough people to cook. Cooking a big pot of rice required some cooking skills, otherwise the steamed buns would be dry and hard, and such precious flour would be wasted!

Mrs. Lu thanked her profusely.

Mr. Lu happily shared the good news with the two children: "Changping, Changle, Mrs. Xu has agreed! Let the second uncle come over tomorrow to try out the work. If the steamed buns are done well, the second uncle can come here to make the steamed buns. Five cents a day. Hey!"

Lu Changping was very excited: "Dad has always been worried that we will be bullied. If grandpa hadn't stopped me, I would have come over today."

Lu Changle blamed himself: "Brother, it's all my fault that my second uncle got hurt. If it weren't for me..."

Lu Chang said with a straight face: "Chang Le, don't say that. If dad only cares about himself and doesn't protect you, my biological son will look down on him."

Lu Changle nodded with red eyes.

Time passed quickly, and in a flash it was time to ring the gong and call it a day.

The centurion's loud voice shouted: "It's done! It's done!"

Li Zheng and the officials specially singled out those whose workload was not up to standard. The remaining men received five cents, and women and children received three cents.

Refugees have special preferential treatment and can choose to receive wages or food of equivalent value.

As soon as Liu Yamen finished announcing the precautions, only a few of the refugees lined up to receive wages. They all lined up to receive food.

Veterans led by Butcher Xu and Centurion shuttled in the long queue, responsible for supervising the work of Li Zheng and the government officials, and making sure they were as fair and just as possible.

Lu Changle ranked tenth due to his advantage of running fast. After a while, he came out with food in his arms: "Auntie, brother, let's go home!"

Before going home, Lu Changle originally thought of going over to say hello to Butcher Xu before leaving. Unfortunately, Butcher Xu encountered a thorny man who shouted loudly and wanted to cause damage.

Butcher Xu originally wanted to use a gentler way to solve the problem, but the centurion stepped forward and kicked him: "Don't accept it? Hold it in!"
