Actually, Lin Mengya's method was very simple.
Although they couldn't announce their identity to the outside world every day, even if it was a trap set by Song Jian, it must be a pretense.
Song Jian was despicable and greedy.
Such a person would never be willing to spend so much.
There must be a lot of people waiting to get a share of the Li family. As a pawn, he would definitely get the least.
Therefore, he would definitely take this opportunity to make a fortune.
In this way, if they behaved extravagantly, it would be completely inconsistent with Song Jian's character.
Even if they couldn't prove themselves completely, they would eventually arouse Li Ao's suspicion.
With suspicion, he would take the opportunity to get close to them.
By then, they would have a chance to reconcile with each other.
Lin Mengya did what she said.
The next day, she asked Song Jian to help her build a house with the excuse of a simple house.
When Song Jian first heard about it, he looked as if he had lost his parents.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya generously said that as long as he provided the labor, she would provide the rest of the wood, bricks, and tiles.
Song Jian heard this and felt that there was a profit to be made.
Moreover, those people of the Li family were locked in the ancestral hall, and the daily food cost a lot. He immediately bargained with her shamelessly and even asked her to pay them.
Of course, Lin Mengya agreed. After all, her purpose was not to exploit the people of the Li family.
Soon, carts of wood, sand, and stones for building the house were transported here.
What made Song Jian drool even more was the various kinds of expensive furniture that Lin Mengya's people had specially gathered from outside.
"Huanghuali, rosewood … Master Gong is really generous. I'm afraid ordinary people have never seen these things before."
Song Jian tried his best to control the desire on his face, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at those things.
Lin Mengya pretended that she didn't care.
"There's nothing in this place of yours. I can barely use these things."
The greed in Song Jian's eyes intensified.
Just the daily life was already so extravagant. If he could make a fortune from Gong Ya …
Then, he said with a flattering smile, "Yes, yes, yes. With your distinguished status, how can these things be worthy of you?"
"There's no other way. By the way, when will the workers arrive? I haven't slept well for several days. If the house isn't finished, I won't be able to stay here for another day. "
Lin Mengya had a panoramic view of Song Jian's embarrassing behavior.
Heh, sooner or later, this guy will meet his doom because of his endless greed.
"Everything has been arranged. It's just that, it's just that I'm just a messenger. The Li family is arrogant. I'm afraid I can't order them around."
Bullshit!
Lin Mengya thought to herself, but she still showed a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.
"I'm just asking them for a favor. It's not like I won't pay them."
Hearing her mention money, Song Jian's eyes flashed.
"Actually, they felt that the salary was too low. You see …"
His meaning was obvious. He wanted her to pay more.
Lin Mengya snorted.
"Humph! So that's what it is. Then tell them that I'll double the salary we agreed on. If that's not enough, Ann, I don't need them. There are plenty of idlers waiting to work outside. I don't need them! "
Song Jian saw the disdain on her face, but he was overjoyed.
He did this not just to get a penny more.
Most importantly, he wanted Gong Ya to hate the Li family. In this way, he could guarantee that the two sides would not collude.
Then, he left with a peace of mind.
"What a villain!"
Baisu commented with disdain.
Because of Li Wushuang, she cared a little more about the Li family.
Lin Mengya was not angry.
"He is a villain. That's why we can make use of him. By the way, how's everything going? "
She asked Song Jian to borrow 100 people.
Most of these 100 people must be strong laborers, and there must be Song Jian's spies among them.
She wanted to let these 100 people eat and drink well, and then secretly bring the food and herbs back to the ancestral hall.
Although Song Jian's men would definitely check, there were too many people. After a long time, they would become lax.
In this way, the Li family could save more energy, and wait for the day of counterattack.
Before that, she must not arouse Song Jian's suspicion.
Baisu reported, "It's almost done. But Wushuang doesn't know many people. I'm afraid that he can't identify all of them by himself."
"There's no need to identify all of them. On the surface, there's nothing wrong with our food."
It was just that bringing things back required someone who knew the ins and outs of the situation to be at ease.
Baisu said, "Okay, I'll ask Wushuang to work hard."
Lin Mengya smiled and lifted Baisu's chin in a flirtatious way.
"You little girl, you're not married yet, but you've already learned to help an outsider?"
Unexpectedly, Baisu answered seriously, "I told him that I'll follow Master for the rest of my life. So, he can only marry into our family."
Lin Mengya couldn't help laughing.
"You! You're getting better at bargaining! "
Baisu smiled faintly as well.
"I've never planned to get married, so I don't want my original plan to be disrupted even though he's an accident."
Baisu's words surprised her, but she also felt that it was reasonable.
Baisu must be the one who was deeply influenced by her.
This girl, who was trained as a man of sacrifice at the beginning, now had her own soul and personality.
"Okay, then I'll prepare a betrothal gift for you. When this thing is over, we'll go to the Li family to propose marriage. "
Baisu finally showed some shyness.
"I'll listen to you, Master."
Lin Mengya smiled with her eyes curved.
It was so good to see the people around her happy.
The next day, Song Jian sent the 100 people over, and he even gave them a few "supervisors" in the name of pleasing things.
In fact, they were here to spy on her people and to see if she had any private communication with these people.
Lin Mengya didn't show up in person, but let Baisu take care of it.
Song Jian secretly threatened them with both carrot and stick. After making them obedient, he left first.
His subordinates didn't intend to help, but just watched from a distance. Every once in a while, they would send someone back to report the situation.
Although the tall house was fake, those things were real.
Although the 100 people were weak, they had dug a shallow layer of foundation in the morning.
At this time, Cai Ru brought some people to bring food.
"Get out of my way!"
At this time, the supervisor finally came over.
He swaggered to the front and reached out to open the food.
"What's all this?"
The supervisor sniffed.
He covered his nose and asked.
Cai Ru rolled her eyes at him and said, "Isn't it obvious? Boiled cabbage, steamed buns, porridge, and pickled vegetables. "
"Of course I know it's cabbage. I'm asking you, why does it smell like this?"
Cai Ru said impatiently, "Don't tell me the food I'm giving you guys must be exotic delicacies? If you don't want to eat it, I'll carry it away! "
The supervisor was stunned by her words and quickly said, "Eat it! Just put it down. "
In any case, he wasn't the one eating. Moreover, Steward Song had said before they came that these starving people should try to eat their fill here, so that they wouldn't waste their food.
Cai Ru squeezed them to the side and knocked on the bowl with a long spoon. "Come and eat. Each person has two steamed buns and a bowl of vegetables. If you don't like it, you can eat the pickled vegetables. "
Everyone gathered around him.
The taste of the dishes was indeed unappetizing.
However, they also couldn't eat their fill in the ancestral hall. At least here, they could eat more.
Cai Ru distributed the food to everyone. Unexpectedly, she met an acquaintance.
Ji Fangcun didn't stand out in the crowd, but before he left, Cai Ru reminded him in a low voice, "Eat more."
Ji Fangcun pretended not to hear it and walked to the side with the food.
He knew that after building a house for the Gong family, his wife asked him to volunteer.
He didn't expect that his wife would guess correctly.
He tried a bite of the cabbage and found that other than the salty taste, there was also a bit of bitterness. It really couldn't be considered delicious.
But the lady's advice …
He clenched his teeth and ate all the dishes, not even leaving any soup.
Suddenly, a warm feeling rose from his lower abdomen.
What was this?
He scratched his head and ran to Cai Ru.
"Give me some more, Miss."
Cai Ru gave him a look and scooped another big bowl of soup for him. Moreover, there was even more vegetable soup in it.
Ji Fangcun ran back to the corner and gulped down the soup.
He wasn't hallucinating.
There was indeed something in the vegetable soup!
He looked around and found a few reliable brothers. He quietly persuaded them to eat all the dishes.
The steamed buns were too dry and the porridge took up too much space, so many people chose to soak the steamed buns in the vegetable soup.
After the meal, many people felt warm in their stomachs.
However, they didn't know the reason and thought that it was because of the hot food.
Cai Ru reported with an empty bucket.
"They ate all of it?"
"Yes. Although it was a little disgusting, they must be starving." Cai Ru smiled.
Lin Mengya nodded.
Disgusting? They didn't know that it took her a lot of effort to prepare the simple dishes.
There was nothing special about the dishes, but the soup was a medicinal soup that she made herself.
One must know that the cost of those medicinal herbs was much higher than the meat.
"Did you remember who didn't eat it?"
Cai Ru said, "There were five of them. I saw that they were opportunistic when they were working. It seems that they are all Song Jian's men."
The Li family members who were really mistreated would definitely eat it.
After all, the food Song Jian prepared was not enough, so he must have been fooling them.
In comparison, at least she could eat her fill here.
But Song Jian's men were different.
They ate and drank well every day, much better than the cabbage soup she made.
These people must find it hard to swallow.
