Chapter 510 - 508 Jealousy
```
Setting aside that everyone is from the same village, some are even relatives, mutual assistance is naturally expected, and on top of that, the Wang Family is offering wages, so those men helping out are getting fifteen coins a day, including three meals.
This Wang Family house, after nearly a month of construction, would allow the workers to earn several hundred coins by the end.
During the slack farming season, the men of peasant families can’t stay idle; they typically go to the town to look for odd jobs, while the women head up the mountains to gather wild products.
In this way, they could earn some money for the New Year in just a few months.
Now they didn’t need to look elsewhere for work, facing intermittent bouts of hunger and fullness, and with decent wages, who wouldn’t be happy? Everyone agreed delightedly.
Some even asked if there were enough hands, and if not, they offered to help find more people.
Wang Yongfu and Wang Yongping simply said they would ask around and give them news the next day to see if more people were needed.
However, they hadn’t anticipated that overnight, the news that the Wang Family was building a new house and looking for help with very enticing terms would spread far and wide.
Relatives of the Wang Family in the same village, as well as other families, as long as they had idle labor at home, arrived early the next morning at the gate of the Wang Family asking if help was needed.
Wang Yongzhu, after reviewing the list drawn up by Master Chiang, knew that when it came to such odd jobs exerting strength, naturally the more people the better. They had to dig the foundation and then later move stones and such; more people meant a faster completion.
