In fact, Lin Mengya's method is very simple.
Although they can't beat gongs and drums every day to announce their identities to the outside world, even the trap created by Song Jian is definitely just a show.
Song Jian was despicable and greedy.
Such a person would never be willing to spend any money.
You must know that there must be many people waiting to carve up the Li family, and what he, a pawn, can get must be the smallest part.
Therefore, he will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
In this way, if they acted extravagantly and lustfully, it would be completely inconsistent with Song Jian's character.
Even if they can't completely prove themselves, they will eventually arouse Li Ao's suspicion.
If there is suspicion, he will take the opportunity to get close.
At that time, they will have a chance to recognize each other.
Lin Mengya kept her word.
The next day, she asked Song Jian to help her build a house in the name of its simplicity.
When Song Jian first heard about it, his face looked as ugly as if he were mourning for his heir.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya generously said that as long as he paid for the labor, she would pay for all the other wood, bricks, and tiles.
When Song Jian heard this, he felt that there was money to be made.
Moreover, those members of the Li family were locked up in the ancestral hall, and their daily food expenses were a huge expense. They immediately shamelessly bargained with her, and even shamelessly asked her to pay wages.
Of course, Lin Mengya agreed to all this. After all, her purpose was not to exploit the Li family members.
Soon, carloads of wood, sand and gravel for building houses were first transported here.
Then, what made Song Jian salivate even more were all kinds of expensive furniture that Lin Mengya's people specially collected from outside.
"Huanghuali, rosewood... The head of the Gong family is really a big spender. I'm afraid most people have never seen these things before, right?"
Song Jian tried his best to control the look of salivation on his face, but his ruthless eyes still involuntarily glanced at those things.
Lin Mengya pretended to be indifferent.
"You have nothing here. I can only make use of these things."
The greed in Song Jian's eyes was even worse.
Daily life is so extravagant. If he could make a fortune from Gong Ya...
At that moment, he said with a smile: "Yes, yes, with your noble status, how can these things be worthy of you?"
"There is no other way. By the way, when will the workers come? I haven't slept well for several days. If the house is not built, I won't be able to stay there for another day."
Lin Mengya could see all Song Jian's ugly behavior.
Oh, sooner or later this guy will be destroyed because of his endless greed.
"It's all been arranged, but, just, I'm just the one responsible for delivering the message. The Li family has an arrogant temperament, so I'm afraid I can't control them."
shit!
Lin Mengya cursed, but there was still a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.
"I'm just asking them to do a favor. It's not like I won't pay them."
As soon as he heard her mention money, Song Jian's eyes flashed.
"Actually, they think the wages are too little. You see..."
The meaning is obvious, just to ask her to add money.
Lin Mengya snorted coldly.
"Hmph! So that's what happened, then you tell them that I will double the wages we agreed on originally. If that doesn't work, I won't use them anymore. There are people outside waiting for idlers to work. It’s not like I have to have them!”
Song Jian saw the disgust on her face, but felt happy in his heart.
He didn't just do it to get an extra penny, either.
The most important thing is that he wants to make Gong Ya hate the Li family. In this way, he can ensure that the two parties will not collude.
At that moment, I left with peace of mind.
"What a villain!"
Bai Su commented disdainfully.
Because of her relationship with Li Wushuang, she also cared a little more about the Li family.
Lin Mengya was not very angry.
"He is a villain, so we can use him. By the way, how are things arranged?"
She asked Song Jian to borrow a hundred people.
Most of these one hundred people must be working men in their prime, and there must be Song Jian's informants among them.
She thought about letting these one hundred people eat and drink well, and then secretly bring the food and medicinal materials back to the ancestral hall.
Although Song Jian's people will definitely check, with such a large number of people, they will become lax over time.
In this way, the Li family can conserve more energy and wait for the day of counterattack.
Before that, she must not make Song Jian suspicious.
Bai Su reported back: "The arrangements are almost complete, but Wushuang doesn't know many people. I'm afraid he alone won't be able to identify everyone."
"There is no need to screen them all. From a superficial point of view, there is nothing wrong with our food."
Just bringing things back requires someone who knows everything before you can feel at ease.
Bai Su said: "Okay, I will let Wushuang work hard."
Lin Mengya smiled and raised Bai Su's chin in an inappropriate way.
"You girl, you haven't even gotten married yet, and you've learned to turn your elbows outward?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Su replied seriously: "I told him that I will follow the master for the rest of my life, so he can only marry into our family."
Unable to hold it back for a moment, Lin Mengya laughed out loud.
"You! You are really getting better and better at bargaining now!"
Bai Su also showed slight smile lines.
"I had no plans to get married, so even if something like this happened to him, I didn't want to disrupt my original plan."
Bai Su's words surprised her but also made her feel that they were reasonable.
If there is anyone who is most influenced by her, it must be Bai Su.
This girl, who was initially trained as a dead soldier, now has a soul and personality of her own.
"Okay, then I will prepare a betrothal gift for you. Once this matter is over, we will go to the Li family to propose marriage."
Bai Su finally showed a little shyness.
"I obey the master."
Lin Mengya smiled so hard that her eyebrows arched.
It's nice to see people around you happy.
On the next day, Song Jian sent these 100 people over, and also gifted several "supervisors" in the name of it.
In fact, she was the one who came to monitor her. Did she have any private communication with these people
Lin Mengya did not come forward in person, but Bai Su was in charge.
Song Jian used both soft and hard tactics to make them obedient, and then left first.
His subordinates had no intention of helping. They just watched from a distance and not close, and sent people back to report the situation every once in a while.
Although the tall house is fake, those things are real.
Although one hundred people were weak, they dug a shallow foundation throughout the morning.
At this time, Cairu and others brought food.
"Get out of my way!"
At this time, the supervisor finally came over.
Standing arrogantly at the front, he reached out and opened the food.
"What are all these things?"
The overseer took a whiff and said,
He asked while holding his nose.
Cairu rolled her eyes at him and then said, "Isn't it obvious? Cook cabbage, steamed buns, porridge and pickles."
"Of course I know it's cabbage. I'm asking you, why does it smell like this?"
Cairu said impatiently: "Does the food for you have to be delicacies from mountains and seas? Eat it if you like it, or I will take it away if you don't!"
The supervisor was stunned by her and said quickly: "Eat! Just put it down."
It’s not him who eats it anyway, and when he came, Manager Song said that these starving ghosts should eat as much as possible here to avoid wasting their food.
Cairu pushed the people aside, tapped the basin with a long-handled spoon and said, "We are all here to eat. Each person has two steamed buns and a bowl of vegetables. If you don't like eating, you can eat pickles."
Everyone gathered.
The taste of the food was indeed unappetizing.
It's just that they don't have enough to eat in the ancestral hall, at least here, they can eat more.
Cairu distributed meals to everyone. Unexpectedly, she also met an acquaintance.
Jifangcun was not conspicuous in the crowd, but before leaving, Cairu whispered: "Eat more food."
Ji Fangcun pretended not to hear anything and walked aside with the food.
After he found out that he was building a house for the head of the Gong family, his wife asked him to volunteer.
Unexpectedly, my wife really guessed it.
He took a tentative bite of the cabbage and found that in addition to being salty, it was also a little bitter. It was indeed not delicious.
But what the girl just said...
He gritted his teeth and ate all the dishes, not even the soup was left.
Suddenly a warm feeling rose from his lower abdomen.
This is
He scratched his head and ran to Cairu again.
"Girl, give me some more."
Cairu winked at him and filled him with a large bowl full of vegetable soup.
Ji Fangcun ran back to the corner and drank it all again.
It's not his imagination.
There is indeed something in this vegetable soup!
He looked around, found a few reliable brothers, and 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 vegetable soup and eat them.
After a meal, many people feel warm in their stomachs.
But they didn't know the reason yet and thought it was because of hot food.
Cairu reported back with the empty bucket.
"They all ate?"
"Well, although it is really unpalatable, they must be starving." Cairu said with a smile.
Lin Mengya nodded.
Unpalatable? They didn't know that it was just the simplest meal, but it really cost her a lot of thought.
The dishes were nothing special, but the vegetable soup was a medicinal soup she made herself.
You know, the cost of those medicinal materials is much more expensive than meat.
"Did you write down who didn't eat?"
Cairu said: "There are five people in total. I saw them taking advantage of opportunities when working. It seems that they are all Song Jian's people."
The Li family members who have been truly abused will definitely eat it.
After all, the food Song Jian prepared was not enough, so he must have fooled himself.
In comparison, at least she can eat enough here.
But Song Jian's people are different.
They eat and drink well every day, which is much better than the Chinese herbal soup made of cabbage.
These people must find it hard to swallow.
