Chapitre 174: Chapter 174: Planning Retribution on the Strange New House's Rafter (8)_1

The Mo Family offered high wages and good food, and after only three months of work, the more than fifty villagers who came to help had each earned a few taels of silver. None of them wanted to leave and all were eager to stay on and continue working.

Because of this, Mo Qingze was quite troubled. These were his fellow townspeople, all hard workers, and over the past few months, they had grown close. In the last couple of days, they all approached him to speak kindly and express their hopes to stay, leaving him unsure of whom to dismiss.

When Mo Yan found out, she laughed and said, "Just have them draw lots. Whoever draws the lot with the word on it will go. It's a matter of luck, and no one will say you're being unfair."

Though the method was somewhat juvenile, it offended no one, and after all, their family couldn't possibly pay wages just for people to idle around on the worksite!
