Aunt Lin and Old Lady Gao, among others, walked over to the Liang family after finishing their meal. When the group arrived here, only Aunt Lin had a relatively good mood; the others were all tense, stiff, moving one step at a time, trembling, clearly ready to flee at any moment. Aunt Lin couldn’t help but laugh, "Look at how little courage you have! Lady Xiao Dong is just a young girl, what is there to be afraid of? Does she have three heads and six arms compared to others, or does she have extra legs? Is that why you’re all scared ?" "Cough, cough, cough!" Someone coughed awkwardly, and Old Lady Gao sneakily glanced at Dong Huiying, then murmured softly, "That’s because you haven’t been beaten by her." Though the girl was petite, her little fists were quite formidable. Being hit by her really hurt. Aunt Lin was also somewhat helpless, if everyone stayed , work simply couldn’t get done. Dong Huiying hesitated a bit, "What would you all like to eat tonight?" They had just finished lunch, and nobody had thought about this question. Moreover... although they were helping the Liang family with work, the Liang family only provided them with lunch. In the evening, everyone would go home and eat their own meals. Shujun smiled slightly, "The culinary skills of my wife are quite good, so why don’t everyone mention what dishes they’d like to eat, so my wife can prepare in advance." If Lady Dong was there, she would feel uncomfortable, and others would feel awkward too. Rather than that... Remembering Lady Dong’s excellent cooking skills, Shujun revealed a somewhat sly smile. Why not win over their stomachs with Lady Dong’s cooking skills, thereby changing everyone’s perception of her. Well, this was quite a reliable plan. Others were too timid to answer, even though Dong Huiying had taken the initiative to ask, but Aunt Lin was different. She confidently named a few dishes, which were the most common household meals. Dong Huiying smiled, "Okay, I’ll go prepare them now." She borrowed Old Lady Gao’s kitchen, as her own earthen stove at home was newly built and not yet ready for use. Old Lady Gao naturally had no objections, and indeed, didn’t dare to object. Seeing this, Dong Huiying couldn’t help but sigh again. Always being so tense wasn’t good! But well, she should first see what ingredients were available and then prepare for dinner. Inside the Liang family’s home, it was bustling with activity. Everyone was busy and sweating profusely, and Shujun had also taken off his red clothes, replacing them with a worn-out coarse hemp garment. Although he tended to be lazy and awkward in both standing and sitting, he was quite meticulous when it came to working. He rolled up his sleeves and, along with Yue Ning, was moving a large bucket of paint, climbing the ladder to apply it to the walls. In the courtyard of the neighboring Gao Family, the young Lady Dong had picked a few handy ingredients and had begun preparing. Many hands make light work. By the time evening approached, the walls were all painted. All that was needed was to air out the smell and add some furniture before it was fit for living. When work stopped, Liang Yuening carried over a bag of money, giving each person Ten Copper Coins. This was the wage he paid to these people. They were not only provided with lunch but were also given a wage—ten copper coins a day. It was for this reason that so many people came over to "help" when the family was fixing up the house. Well, actually everyone was here to earn money! Just then, from the Gao Family across the way, came the sizzling sounds of green onions, ginger, and garlic all hitting the hot oil, followed by the sizzling sounds of stir-frying. The scent grew stronger and gradually wafted over...
