In the evening, the villagers returned home one after another from working in the fields.
Gu Dahuan also came back home from the fields at West Mountain.
Along the way, people kept asking Gu Dahuan about hiring workers for his family. Some even intercepted him on the road, hoping to work for the Gu Family.
Knowing not all Xu Family members were like Xu Si, Gu Dahuan didn't dare agree without Tong Huaqiong's permission. He detoured through the cornfield, using the thick corn as cover, to return home.
Tong Huaqiong had just finished discussing with Gu Dahuan about excavating the remains of Mrs. Hong's parents under the twisted tree when Village Chief Liu brought the hired workers to their doorstep.
Originally, Liu Tieshan had planned to bring the people over in the evening.
But the enthusiasm was overwhelming, and he had to bring them earlier.
"Aunt Tong, Da Han knows how I work. Back when he and I carried sandbags in Pingchuan, only Da Han could outdo me."
