Chapter 922: Falling in Love and Killing Each Other by Poaching (3)
Knowing that the Cui family would come calling sooner or later, Mo Yan rewarded Fan Meijiao with two brews of bird droppings tea daily, and then she waited at home.
That day, taking advantage of the overcast weather which wasn’t so scorching, Mo Yan made her way to the medicinal fields and the orchards, intending to select a few suitable spots to construct houses for the three hundred soldiers who had come from the frontier.
The buildings didn’t need to be overly luxurious, something akin to modern student dormitories would suffice, with rows of houses divided into individual rooms, each room housing four people. In this way, they could look out for one another, helping with anything that might arise.
In total, at least seventy-five rooms would be needed. Including the construction of kitchens, bathrooms, and the like, roughly ninety rooms were required.
The project was not minor, but it was simple to execute: once the corners of the walls were dug, laying bricks and tiles was much easier. Mo Yan planned to entrust the work to the villagers, deciding not to bother Master Lv with this task.
The village school had been built, and as soon as the weather cooled, parents would enroll their children. Once the number of students was confirmed, a master would be hired to teach, and that would leave time to help with the construction of the houses.
Having found several places suitable for building, Mo Yan called to the Six Beasts who were out for a stroll and leisurely walked home. Before she reached her house, she encountered Liyan, who was coming to see her— the Cui family had sent a matchmaker again, and this time there was also an unfamiliar go-between, a relative from the Cui family.
