After being exiled, relying on space to pamper the chief assistant

The first thing before Ye Zhen now is naturally building a new house, and everything else has to be put back a little later.

As long as there is no trouble on Mrs. Wu's side, there is no need for her to worry too much for the time being and she can just wait for the news quietly.

Although the drawings Ye Zhen drew were quite complicated, they did not occupy a large area. What was complicated was the internal structure.

Therefore, the amount of work on the brick kiln is not large. At most, it is just adding a few more walls in the house to isolate a few rooms.

When Ye Zhen showed the drawings to the brick kiln manager, he promised that they would not spend more than fifteen to twenty days building the main body of the house.

The rest of the work has to be left to the bricklayers and carpenters. The brick kiln doesn't care what kind of decoration your house needs, it's not within their scope of work.

During the period of building the house, although the work was not very complicated, Ye Zhen and her family had to help.

Therefore, since building the house, Ye Zhen has been staying at home and has never left.

On the third day after catching the brick thief, the man behind the scenes named Wang Mazi was still wandering around the county town.

He didn't even know that the brick theft had been exposed, and was still thinking about where to find a seller of green bricks.

Among the group of brick thieves, only Wang Hu knew Wang Mazi, and the others had no idea who he was.

But after being caught stealing bricks, how could these little scoundrels, who usually do so often, dare to publicize it?

Everyone has been huddled at home these past few days, not daring to go anywhere.

One is to recuperate, and the other is to fear that the other party will retaliate later.

Especially Wang Hu, this incident made him very angry, so he did not inform his cousin, but secretly hoped that the other party would also be caught.

Even a brick kiln with blue bricks would not publicize such a shameful thing loudly.

Therefore, even though they had sent people to search for Wang Mazi on the streets, they still did not alert the other party.

"What bad luck! Why don't these people have any courage? Isn't it just a few bricks? They can't let it go even if it's so much cheaper!"

After spitting on the ground, Wang Mazi walked out of a house with a depressed look on his face, carrying garbage on the roadside with his feet as he spoke.

In the past few days, he has been walking around in front of the houses built with bricks in the county. Whenever he saw someone, he would approach them and ask them if they wanted blue bricks.

There are not many families in the city who can build houses with blue bricks. These families are not short of money, so Wang Mazi naturally does not dare to send them to others to find out that he is reselling green bricks.

His target is people who build houses with ordinary gray bricks, trying to attract them with low prices.

In his opinion, even if the price of a five-cent green brick was cut in half, it would still be profitable.

The left and right were stolen by Wang Hu and his men. It didn't cost much, and he could still get a lot of benefits.

But he didn't expect that after looking like this for several days, he encountered obstacles at every turn, and no one was interested in the low-priced green bricks he mentioned!

Wang Mazi, who was walking on the street, was extremely dissatisfied and irritable. Since he was kicked out of the brick kiln, he had also lost his way of making money. These days, he has been living on the money he took from his parents in the countryside.

In the past, when he was still working in the brick kiln, he still had a place to rest. Now he has to rent an extremely cheap house in the city every day. The dark and damp feeling makes people feel uncomfortable all over.

"If you can't find anyone to buy it, you might as well go to Qingcheng next door to try your luck!"

Wang Mazi thought to himself, and unknowingly walked to the door of the cabin he rented.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw two familiar people standing at the door of his house, seemingly looking around.

His heart suddenly tightened and he turned around and ran away!

But it was too late, and soon enough, the two brick kiln workers had already seen him and chased him without saying a word.

Speaking of which, Wang Mazi was able to get into the brick kiln purely because he deceived and got in by chance.

Not only was he unpopular in the brick kiln, but his physical strength was far inferior to the others.

In addition, he had been busy looking for people to sell stolen goods in the past few days, and he had no food or clothing. He was caught by two strong workers within a hundred meters.

"Hmph! How dare you run?!"

The first person to catch Wang Mazi snorted angrily and slapped him across the face.

The other person was not polite at all and directly twisted his hand behind his back, making it impossible for him to escape.

Wang Mazi, who was subdued, cried out in pain and quickly begged for mercy in a low voice:

"Ouch! Two good brothers! Be gentle! Be gentle!"

"Lighter? You have a pretty good idea!"

The one with the worst temper of the two sneered and slapped him in the face several times until he was beaten to a pulp, unable to distinguish between north and south.

After beating him up, the two escorted Wang Mazi, who was about to be knocked unconscious, towards the brick kiln.

"This guy caused the two of us to run around outside for two days and got scolded by the manager! If I don't teach him a lesson, it's really hard to express my anger!"

The worker who had taken action earlier said to his brother, who nodded when he heard this and looked at Wang Mazi with a rather unkind look.

The two of them are indeed brick kiln workers and thugs in the brick kiln. In addition to working, they are occasionally sent out to do other tasks.

After learning that Wang Mazi was the mastermind behind the brick theft, the brick kiln manager quickly sent people out to arrest him.

It's just that Wang Mazi didn't have a good relationship with other brick kiln workers on weekdays, so he couldn't find out his whereabouts, so he had to send a few more people to look for clues.

This matter could be big or small, so the manager naturally didn't dare to mess with Wangyue Tower. No one was caught getting angry for several days, and the people below were also very angry.

Therefore, after the two caught the person, they took the person back to the brick kiln and took the time to vent their anger.

By the time the group arrived at the brick kiln, Wang Mazi had been beaten until his face was swollen like a pig's head.

"Is this the person behind the brick theft?"

The middle-aged man sitting in the hall next to the brick kiln glanced at Wang Mazi who was pressed on the ground, frowned slightly, and then waved his hand.

"Send it to Manager Li. It's up to the head of the household to decide how to deal with this person."

The man in brocade clothes didn't want to take another look, so the two men sent Wang Mazi away again.

"My boss, since I have been caught, this matter should be settled!"

Next to the man was a little old man with a mustache, looking at him with a flattering smile.

The man in fine clothes did not speak, but nodded silently.

It was already two hours later when Wang Mazi was transported to Ye Zhen's house on a donkey cart.

It was getting late at this time, and the workers in the brick kiln were already having dinner and preparing to go back.

After arriving at the construction site, a man jumped out of the donkey cart. After explaining his purpose to Manager Li, he got back on the donkey cart.

As soon as Ye Zhen finished her meal, she saw the manager of the brick kiln walking towards her with a smile.

"Thank you, Madam, for keeping you waiting for so long. We finally captured Wang Mazi today and brought him here."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were two tall workers behind him, dragging a helpless man into the yard.

The two dragged Wang Mazi in front of Ye Zhen and threw it away. After a "bang", Wang Mazi who was thrown to the ground slowly woke up.

Such a big movement also alarmed other people, and the women and brick kiln workers present all turned their attention.

"Is this Wang Mazi? He looks so mean-spirited, no wonder he can do such a thing!"

"He is really brave. He dares to commit trouble in our village. We must not let him off easily!"

The women who gathered around pointed at Wang Mazi on the ground, unable to conceal their anger and disgust in their words.

Manager Li cupped his hands at Ye Zhen and said:

"Mrs. Xie, we have captured the man and brought him here. As for how to deal with him, it is all up to you!"

Looking at Wang Mazi who was beaten to the point of being unrecognizable, Ye Zhen was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Xie Yunshu beside him.

Although it was true that the other party did something unreasonable, in her heart she could not blame him so much. A beating would be enough, right?

Xie Yunshu saw the intolerance in her eyes and frowned slightly, but this time he was unwilling to let the other party be merciful.

They are now in a remote barbaric land, with dangers lurking around them. If they show too much weakness, they will only be bullied.

He was willing to let those thieves go, firstly because of Ye Zhen's attitude, and secondly because Lin Bin had already beaten them up.

As for Lin Bin's cruelty, it took less than ten days and a half, and those little thieves must not have thought about it.

But this Wang Mazi was the mastermind behind this incident, and he only suffered some flesh injuries, so he would not let him go easily.

"Let's put him in the woodshed first and let him starve for a few days before we talk about it."

He said the punishment indifferently, and his words were supported by all the women present.

After receiving the signal from Manager Li's eyes, the two workers quickly carried the person to the most remote small room in the yard.

Seeing that Xie Yunshu insisted on punishing Wang Mazi, Ye Zhen opened her mouth, but still did not refute.

She knew that she was a bit too holy, but as a modern person with good quality education, she could not treat human life like the ancient people before her.

After sighing silently in her heart, Ye Zhen still forced herself to accept Xie Yunshu's arrangement.

Excessive kindness will only bring disaster to herself, and she must be responsible for those around her.

Seeing the people being locked up, Manager Li was relieved. After greeting Ye Zhen's family with a smile, he left with the workers.

The women in the village also left one after another after helping Ye Zhen clean up everything.

There were also some enthusiastic people who asked Ye Zhen if she needed a man from her family to come over and help look after Wang Mazi, but she was rejected by the other party.

With Lin Bin at home, a powerful being who has regained his fighting power, what kind of trouble can these little scoundrels who can't even do three-legged cat kungfu cause?

"If you want to survive in this world, you can't be too kind, as you will only be taken advantage of."

Ye Zhen, who was lying on the bed in a daze after washing, suddenly heard this sentence. She turned her head blankly and saw someone who surprised her.

Lin Bin stood beside the bed with a calm expression, but his ink-like eyes exuded a calming light.

Ye Zhen, who came back to her senses, had a helpless smile on her face and nodded slightly.

She also knew very well that the era she was living in was different now, and she simply could not bring her previous thoughts into her current life.

"I know, but I still hope to have my own bottom line."

She could accept the punishment Xie Yunshu gave Wang Mazi in the afternoon, which was just to be locked up and starved, which was not too serious.

But if at that time, the other party directly proposed to harm the other party, she could not guarantee that she would regress.

Looking at Ye Zhen's clear eyes, a complicated look flashed in Lin Bin's eyes, and the hands hidden under his sleeves clenched quietly.

But soon, he let go of his hand, lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low and inaudible voice:

"I hope you can stick to your heart."
