Xu San had been busy preparing the toilet during these few days and was not on the mountain. All the work on the mountain was taken care of by Liu Da, so the busy work made Liu Da feel like he was a spinning top.

Fortunately, all of the projects had started to get more formal, so even in places where Liu Da was unable to see, most of them still maintained an orderly pace, and there were no problems at all.

On this day, Qin Wuya was being led by the craftsmen in the courtyard to patrol the various courtyards to complete the quality inspection. Just as she was about to enter the last of the four villages, "Sinian", he saw two groups of people quarreling at the entrance of the manor.

Although there were two groups of people, their numbers were not equal.

There were about twenty people on one side. There were men, women, old friends, young and old friends. They were all wearing shabby coats, and each of them had an angry look on their faces.

On the other side, there were only three people. The one in the lead was a middle-aged man in his thirties with two kids following behind him. They were not very old, but their bodies were sturdy.

When Qin Wuya saw that the three of them had donned another coat with the word "Yun" printed on it, she knew that the three of them had already been registered by Xu San and had signed on as regular workers for five years.

In addition, Gu Banxia also noticed that the leader of the three workers had a red armband on his sleeves, he could be considered the little foreman that was promoted to be in charge of certain special jobs.

"What's going on?" Qin Wuya did not blindly disturb the two parties. She only turned her body to ask the Chief Blacksmith about her identity.

The craftsman shook his head with a blank look on his face, clearly not understanding what these two groups of people were trying to do in front of the Manor's entrance.

Qin Wuya made a silent gesture to the craftsman and the few craftsmen behind him to be quiet, she herself took a few steps forward, to understand why the two groups of people were arguing.

Just as Qin Wuya took a few steps forward, a young lady who was in her early twenties and was dressed in a tattered and thin coat of clothes suddenly became agitated. She pointed at the middle-aged man with a red face and bellowed:

"We heard from the people that the Sunset Cloud Villa gave us a lot of wages and good food, so we came here to work. Now that everyone has been busy the whole morning, why don't you let us have a feast?! "

"On what basis? Just because you came from outside, do you and the Chief Steward have signed the deed and you want to eat your fill?" The middle-aged man sneered and said with a contemptuous look on his face:

"Don't even mention the fact that our Sunset Cloud Villa's Great Villa Master has plenty of money, the servants who work in the mountains are not only worth more money every month, but their food is also better than ordinary people's.

What, you sound greedy? Is that something you can eat? That's for us, the people who signed the deed with the manager. "

"Yeah, you guys are just here to help a useless beggar, yet you want to eat the same kind of good food as us? In your dreams." A young brat behind the middle-aged man chuckled as he helped to speak up.

"But the people who invited us here clearly said that they would be satisfied with three meals, aren't you guys just lying!?" The woman's eyes reddened, but she still tried to defend herself. It was obvious that they believed the words of the middle-aged foreman.

"Deceiving you? You have the deed, without them, how can you say that we are lying? " middle-aged foreman squinted his long and narrow eyes, staring at the young woman's thin clothes with ill intent.

Then he pointed to the red armband pinned on his sleeve and said proudly: "Do you see this? I'm wearing this thing, so that means I'm the leader of this group. If they want to work in the garden, they have to be under my charge. If I say there's nothing to eat, then there's nothing to eat.

"Leave then. You give us the money for this morning's work, and we'll go. " Behind the young woman, a fifteen to sixteen year old boy with a pretty face and thick eyebrows was shouting angrily.

"You haven't even finished your work yet and you want to claim your wages? Dream on, if you want to scram, then scram." middle-aged foreman's eyes darkened as he said with a sinister and vicious expression: "I have made myself clear. I will not stop anyone who wants to leave, but I do not have a single wage to pay."

"Why don't you pay me? We've been busy all morning." The half a brat who was talking earlier was anxious, he dodged and wanted to rush up to talk to middle-aged foreman, but he was stopped by a few sturdy men behind him.

middle-aged foreman spat with a cold smile: "At first, the wages were agreed to be settled in three days. All of you had only done it for half a day and you still wanted the wages. "Where in the world is there such a good thing? Those who want to earn money can just scram back to work."

"The payment was agreed to be one out of every three days, but I didn't say that we wouldn't be allowed to eat." Beside the young woman, an older man's face was sluggish as he carefully tried to refute her.

"What do you mean I'm not giving you food? If you want to eat, then go down the mountain and eat. No one will stop you." A little kid behind middle-aged foreman snickered: "But we remembered the time, we will only deduct a few hours' wages for as long as we go down the mountain. Don't even think about slacking off."

"You guys are being too unreasonable. This Sunset Clouds Mountain is so high, yet he went up and down in half a day. What are you doing?" The young woman was so angry that her chest rose and fell, causing the middle-aged foreman's eyes to turn red. His eyes were fixated on his wife's chest.

The woman felt uncomfortable under the gaze of the middle-aged foreman. With one hand on her chest and a red hand on it, she took a few steps back and hid behind a half-grown man, avoiding the middle-aged foreman's line of sight.

middle-aged foreman's face turned even uglier as he looked at them and sneered: "I advise you guys to be the most obedient. Otherwise, I'll let you guys off the hook."

The one who spoke previously seemed to be the younger brother of the young woman. Now that he saw that his older sister was about to attack him due to being harassed by the middle-aged foreman, but was helplessly pulled back by the two men behind her, he could only wave his arms in dissatisfaction and clamor:

"Close your dog eyes, or I'll beat you to death."

middle-aged foreman was frightened by the half grown man's tiger power and retreated a step, but then he had an ugly expression on his face: "What, a beggar brat, you still want to hit me?! Why don't you see what kind of place this Sunset Cloud Villa is?

Did I tell you about those mountain guards in black when we entered the mountain? They all brought kung fu and other stuff along with them. If you dare to make a move on the mountain, someone will immediately arrest you all and send you all to prison for your food! "

"How can you all be so unreasonable?" The young woman was so shocked that her face turned pale.

When middle-aged foreman saw that the woman's face was pale, and that there was still a trace of pity on her face, his expression became even more wretched.

Qin Wuya stood at the back and could not watch anymore. She nodded to the few craftsmen behind him, walked into everyone's line of sight, and looked at middle-aged foreman with a cold expression:

"What's your name? Who did you work for?"

middle-aged foreman obviously did not expect that other than them, there were other people here, and his face immediately turned white. But when he turned around and saw that Qin Wuya was only a young lady, his expression relaxed by quite a bit as he said, "And who are you to dare meddle with this daddy's business in the Villa?"

"You've never seen me before?" Qin Wuya frowned slightly.

Therefore, even if all the old servants who had worked in the Villa for a year all knew of Qin Wuya's identity, this middle-aged man in front of them, who clearly had a red armband that represented her position as the foreman, could not recognize him. This forced Qin Wuya to keep a few more thoughts in mind.

The long and narrow eyes of the middle-aged foreman looked at Qin Wuya's white and tender face in surprise. He stared at it for a few times before swallowing and replying, "Could it be that the young lady recognised me as Wu Laoqi in the past?"

"Wu Laoqi? When did you get up the mountain, and who gave you that red armband? " Qin Wuya raised her brows, her expression was calm, and her tone was cold.

Wu Laoqi did not understand why Qin Wuya was asking about this, and his face showed some hesitation, but after a while she said with a pleased look on his face: "I went to the mountain half a year ago, and worked under Manager Xu. This red armband was given to me by Manager Xu himself.

"Manager Xu, you don't know, but he's the biggest manager in the entire Sunset Cloud Villa. I heard that he's still standing on the same share as the Villa Owner, so even the Villa Master has to give him some face."

"The Manager Xu you're talking about, is he Xu San?"

Qin Wuya did not think that this matter would involve Xu San, and could not help but be taken aback.

It had already been two years since the start of the project, Xu San was the project manager, he had more than 10 managers of various sizes, and normally, a foreman would not need Xu San to personally arrange things, so from the start, Qin Wuya had only thought that Wu Laoqi was arranged by a small manager, but she did not expect that Xu San would directly use his name.

Wu Laoqi was startled by Qin Wuya's question, and quietly muttered under her mouth: "Xu San? What do you mean by "three to four"? Chief Steward Xu is indeed Chief Steward Xu. "

Despite knowing about Chief Steward Xu, he did not know of Xu San's name. This meant that Wu Laoqi was not someone close to Xu San.

When Qin Wuya heard this, her eyebrows relaxed a bit, but then she laughed lightly, she was almost scared by Wu Laoqi who acted like a pig to eat the tiger.

After confirming that Wu Laoqi had nothing to do with Xu San, Qin Wuya continued to ask: "You are merely a small foreman, if you could have Chief Xu take over and tell me who are you?"

"I say, why are you asking around?" Are you going to mind your own business? "What do you mean a little overseer? Men have brothers under their care and control. What do you think a woman would understand? You sound quite arrogant."

Wu Laoqi was a little angry that Qin Wuya had exposed him, that he did not have anything to do with Chief Eunuch Xu. He felt even more that Qin Wuya's words made him lose face in front of the brothers under her command.
