Frequenting the village, I’m naturally aware of some matters here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu found it amusing, much older than her? Clearly only three years older!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Princely Heir frowned, \"Brother Mu, since Liu the bricklayer and his two sons can’t go out to work, are there any other bricklayers in the village?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuanxiu shook his head, \"In Taohua River Village, only their family knows the bricklaying trade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about other villages? Do you know?\" Li Yuzhu asked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuanxiu looked at her and said, \"Besides Taohua River Village near Niu Tou Mountain, about seven or eight miles north, there’s another village called Qingshui River Village. They also have a father-and-son pair of bricklayers, but they only take cash, no credit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cash upfront?

I haven’t been to those places, so I’m not sure about their situation,\" Mu Yuanxiu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Young Master Li sighed, \"What should we do? Big Brother? Head back now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xing’an was also downhearted, \"If we can’t find a bricklayer, aren’t we just going home empty-handed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Princely Heir hesitated, Li Yuzhu said, \"No, let’s go to Liu the bricklayer’s home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at her in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xing’an said, \"Third Sister, that family is having a domestic fight; how would they be in the mood to work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu said, \"I know, we can’t hire Liu the bricklayer, but we could ask if he knows any other bricklayer. He should have connections with others in the same trade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bricklayers, unlike other crafts, rarely work selfishly solo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because their work is collective in nature, such as when a wealthy family wants a garden or mansion built quickly, without hiring fellow tradesmen for help, the work can’t be completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they don’t have a few good professional contacts, they won’t get big projects and will earn much less money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, bricklayers even pass on the work to other colleagues and take a referral fee for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuanxiu looked at Li Yuzhu with eyes full of surprise, \"You’re right, he probably knows some colleagues.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Young Master Li and Li Xing’an exclaimed in surprise, \"Third Sister, how do you know even this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuzhu snorted lightly, \"Nanny Sun told me, she knows everything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? If I’d known things would be like this today, I would have learned more from Uncle Tian.\" Li Xing’an sighed, regretting that he used to only know how to play and not to learn more things, ending up hungry today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>f r\\eeNovelBin.c(o)(m)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Princely Heir said, \"Then there’s no time to lose, let’s go to Liu the bricklayer’s home to inquire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuanxiu said, \"I’ll lead the way for you, so you don’t have to ask people in the village again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Young Master Li and Li Xing’an wanted to say \"No need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Princely Heir spoke first, \"That would be great, thank you, Brother Mu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yuanxiu nodded to everyone and walked ahead down the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Princely Heir and Li Yuzhu followed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Young Master Li pulled at Li Xing’an, \"Third Brother, slow down, I have something to talk to you about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xing’an raised his eyebrows, \"What is it, Second Brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Young Master Li glanced towards Mu Yuanxiu in the front and whispered to Li Xing’an, \"Third Brother, do you think that Mu guy has taken a fancy to our Third Sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Li Xing’an’s eyes widened, \"Is he considering me dead?
