That was not just a small fortune, and for a woman like Liang Mei'er to willingly give up such a prize felt more painful than cutting off her own flesh.
"What?" Yang Butler's expression changed dramatically. "Are you planning to turn your back on me?"
"Where would that come from? How could I? You're still here, aren't you? Besides, you're just a servant now. With that much money, can you even spend it? It would be better for me to keep it safe for you, don't you think?"
Liang Mei'er replied with a charming smile, thinking to herself that if Yang Butler lived a little longer, he would see what was in store for him.
Indeed, Yang Butler knew too much. As long as he was around, she couldn't feel secure.
Determined, she decided to take decisive action and eliminate any future threats!
A ruthless glint flashed in the woman's eyes. She had done such things before. As for the foolish man before her, despite their years of illicit dealings and his assistance, he could easily be discarded for her own benefit.
At that moment, Yang Butler had no idea how cold-hearted this woman could be.
Even if he suspected her ruthlessness, he never thought she would go so far as to harm him.
What angered him now was Liang Mei'er's greed; she was so heartless that she wouldn't give him even a scrap: "Liang Mei'er, don't get cocky. We're not playing games here. I'm the villain; don't think you're any better off."
Yang Butler leaned closer to Liang Mei'er, his words like poison in her ear: "Are you looking to tear our relationship apart? I wouldn't mind going down together; it's just a pity for your son!"
Liang Mei'er gritted her teeth. But without proper arrangements in place, she couldn't eliminate him directly; she needed to wait a bit longer.
Quickly putting on a smile, she said, "How could that be? It's just that you can't spend it right now. All the money I have is tied up in buying supplies; I can't take out that much at once. How about I give it to you in a few days when things are more settled?"
First, she needed to pacify the man; the rest could wait. Liang Mei'er decided to buy some time.
"You are truly the best, don't play any tricks." After saying this, she turned and left.
As for what the man thought in his heart? Ha! Liang Mei'er was not a kind person. Her repeated actions made him see her true nature; in the eyes of this heartless woman, he was nothing.
Over the years, although he was not a good person, he had been devoted to Liang Mei'er, never betraying her. He once thought that it would be fine to spend his life with this woman; even if they could not be husband and wife, they could still be companions.
Otherwise, as the head steward of Yang Residence, he might not find a fairy-like beauty as a wife, but as long as she wasn't from a wealthy family, he could still choose among the girls from Biqi Town.
But after all he had given, what did he receive in return?
Yet, deep down, Yang Butler believed that his feelings for Liang Mei'er were true love. For so many years without marrying or having children, being with her was merely a fleeting relationship without any official status.
In reality, it was not true love. What satisfied him was the feeling of possessing his master's woman; that sense of superiority was hard for him to escape.
He envied Yang Bingshan's background, envied his wealth, envied his beautiful companions, and envied how many women adored him.
And he had nothing until later when he got involved with Liang Mei'er, which gave him a profound sense of satisfaction. Look, the woman cherished by Yang Bingshan secretly interacted with him.
This indescribable pleasure captivated him and made it hard for him to break free.
Every time he felt his weak presence around Yang Bingshan only brought him satisfaction in Liang Meier's company.
Now that he knew Liang Mei'er would not save him or offer him any benefits, he quickly made corresponding arrangements. Since Liang Mei'er was unkind, he would be unjust; let’s see who could outdo whom.
Yang Yichen enjoyed watching such dog-eat-dog dramas. It was fine for Yang Bingshan to release Yang Butler; after all, it was done personally by him. Once people saw the truth, it would naturally be more exciting than hearing it from others.
At Ten Li Pu, they divided the work; each person was responsible for a specific task. After implementing this arrangement method, efficiency indeed improved significantly. Zhang Wuliang worked early and late to formulate more detailed plans, including a reward and punishment system.
In the evening, as they returned home from work, the people of Ten Li Pu formed a long line on the road leading to Sanhe Village.
The man wore a set of earthy yellow linen clothes, his hair tied up high, and his wrinkled face was covered in dirt, but it couldn't hide the brightness in his eyes.
A young girl walked closely beside him, busy with her tasks. Although she was tired, her spirits were high.
"Village Chief, ever since you arrived, I've had it much easier. Thank you for your hard work!"
The girl was none other than Liu Qingxi. Her current task was to inspect Sanhe Village at the end of the workday and then return with the big Kid.
As for other trivial matters, they were all handled by Zhang Wuliang, while technical issues were managed by Zhang Tiegen.
Zhang Wuliang had quite a bit of work to do, but fortunately, having been the village chief for many years, the villagers trusted him greatly. Whenever he issued an order, the big Kid would eagerly comply.
Additionally, Liu Qingxi proposed a scoring system to track each person's completed workload. Based on how much work they accomplished, there would be corresponding rewards at the end of the month.
All of this was entrusted to Zhang Wuliang, who took great pleasure in it.
"Qingxi, whatever you ask me to do, I will definitely complete it well. Besides, this work is invigorating and satisfying!"
"Oh dear, it's really tough on you, Aunt. In the past, I used to farm; now that I'm doing this, all the fieldwork has been left to him. I can't help much."
At this point, a hint of melancholy crossed the man's face; it was never his intention for his wife to work so hard.
But food is the foundation for the common people; it cannot be forgotten anywhere and must never be abandoned.
His words resonated with the big Kid because everyone in the Construction Team was the pillar of their family.
Since joining, Liu Qingxi has been constantly busy, so they haven't had any rest.
Every morning when he gets up and returns home at dusk, he is so exhausted that he falls asleep as soon as he lies down.
The women at home have to take care of the elderly and manage the fields, which is very hard work.
Someone chimed in, "That's right, it's the same in our family. We big men leave all the work to the women, and it's not easy for them."
"Yeah, yeah, my child’s mother has lost quite a bit of weight."
"Same here."
Then there was a long silence.
This is a fact, but managing the fields is a reality that cannot be ignored; it can’t just be abandoned, leaving the burden on the women at home.
"In previous years when we went out to work, there wasn't as much to do. During busy farming seasons, we would come back to help, so at least the family members weren't so tired. But now..."
With more money being earned, everyone at home—young and old—has been working much harder.
Liu Qingxi fell silent; this was indeed a problem.
