The crowd stepped out of the courtyard and discovered that bricks were being delivered from the factory.

Lindsey Wolfe hurried into the house, took out her small bag, and prepared to pay for the bricks.

It wasn’t until they approached that they realized it was Boss Liu himself who had come to deliver the bricks.

Locking eyes with Second Master Jensen, Lindsey felt a sudden surge of foreboding.

Usually, it was Boss Liu’s underlings who delivered the bricks; why had he come himself today?

Could it be he was planning to extort more money?

Though Second Master Jensen was somewhat hesitant, as a senior member of the Jensen family, he had no choice but to steel himself and walk over.

Maybe there was still time to negotiate a cheaper price before the bricks were unloaded from the cart.

“Boss Liu, how much for this load of bricks? I’ll have Freya pay you,” Second Master Jensen asked quiveringly, and everyone fell silent, watching Boss Liu anxiously, fearful that he might demand an exorbitant price. However, Boss Liu simply smiled and said, “Why would you need to pay? We’re all villagers here. There just happened to be a surplus of bricks at the medicine fields, so I had them brought over for you.

Just use them for now, and let me know if you need more. I can bring you another load later.”

Second Master Jensen and the rest, including Lindsey, grew tense on hearing this.

They may not have been well-educated, but they knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Boss Liu was surely plotting to squeeze more money out of them.

for instance, start by offering free bricks, and once your house is built, he could then inflate the price drastically. At that point, you’d have no choice but to use them.

After all, you couldn’t just tear down a finished house, could you?

Thinking this, Second Master Jensen hurriedly said, “How could we accept this… We should pay whatever amount is due.”

Lindsey was more forthright, saying, “Boss Liu, earning money isn’t easy for us either. Let’s just buy this load of bricks at forty cents apiece.

That’s right, that’s right, pay the man, and then we’re even. Next time we need more bricks, we can pay again,” Third Master Jensen chimed in.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Boss Liu couldn’t help but feel like crying without tears.

Why was doing a good deed so difficult?

Seeing that Lindsey and the others didn’t believe him one bit, he looked to Greg Jensen for help.

Greg Jensen couldn’t help but smirk, putting on a stern face and gesturing a fist at him.

Boss Liu was quick-witted and immediately understood Greg Jensen’s signal. His expression chilled as he said sternly, “Are you trying to make me lose face? I already said I’m giving it away, and you insist on paying. Are you looking down on me?”

“No, we truly did not mean any disrespect, it’s just that…”

Lindsey said, glancing at Second Master Jensen beside her.

Seeing this, Second Master Jensen had no choice but to confess, “We would have to pay sooner or later, so we’d be at ease paying up now.”

Upon hearing this, Boss Liu’s eyebrows shot up, and with a stern face, he said, “What are you suggesting? You don’t trust my character?”

“No, that was not our intention at all.”

Seeing Boss Liu get angry, Lindsey and Second Master Jensen, among others, started to panic inside.

Boss Liu frowned and said, “Go, get some paper and a pen. I’ll write you a note.

1 can t believe you think 1 wouldn’t be able to give away a cart of bricks.”

“What?”

Hearing his words, everyone was dumbfounded, staring at Boss Liu with an incredulous expression.

“Why are you standing there? Go get it fast, or should I fetch it myself?”

“Ah, please wait a moment,”

Lindsey dashed into the house and brought her accounts notebook with precaution, handing it to Boss Liu.

Boss Liu took the paper and pen and wrote a promissory note right away, affirming that the load of bricks was a gift from him, and that he surely wouldn’t charge for them.

Furthermore, he noted that if the Jensen family’s house needed bricks, he would provide them for free, ensuring not to charge a single penny.

After finishing, he even took a red ballpoint pen to dye his thumb red and pressed a thumbprint on the document.

“lake a look; if there’s nothing wrong, hurry up and unload the truck.”

Lindsey Wolfe took over the document and stared at it, shocked, then lifted her head blankly, looking towards Second Master.

Second Master was also dumbfounded, glanced at the document in Lindsey Wolfe’s hand, then at Old Liu, still not quite believing it.

The Jenson Family members present were all equally bewildered.

Just a moment ago, they thought that when Old Liu said he would give away for free, he surely aimed to swindle more money; they didn’t expect him to actually leave the document behind.

Could he really be giving away for free?

This was totally unlike Old Liu’s character!

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Greg Jensen’s heart was brimming with joy; he didn t know what kind of twisted pleasure this was.

But he knew that if Lindsey Wolfe and the others found out he had become smart, and that Old Liu was actually under his command, Second Master and the rest would surely slaughter him.

What a major social suicide scene!

“What are you all standing there for? Unload the truck!”

Old Liu put on his familiar ruffian look, “Or are you waiting for me to help you unload?”

“Heh heh, let’s unload.”

Greg Jensen chuckled and took the lead in starting to unload.

Lindsey Wolfe opened her mouth, wanting to tell Greg Jensen not to unload, but hesitated seeing Old Liu’s fierce and terrifying appearance.

Seeing this, Second Master made up his mind with a hard heart, gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t just stand there, unload the truck.”

Whether it’s a blessing or a curse, you can’t hide from it!

Old Liu had taken things this far; even if he wanted to refuse, he couldn’t find a reason to do so.

With Second Master’s call, other passing members of the Jensen Family also came over to help. In no time, everyone had moved all the red bricks down from the truck and stacked them neatly beside.

“Alright, I’m going now. Call me if you need bricks again.”

With a salutation, Old Liu left amidst the weird stares of everyone, driving his tractor away.

“He just left like that?”

“Yeah, he really didn’t take any money and left?”

Everyone felt as if they were dreaming; they couldn’t believe that the bastard Old Liu would actually give away a truckload of red bricks without asking for payment.

There have been a lot of strange things happening these past few days,” Second Master muttered.

Lindsey Wolfe surprisedly asked, “Second Uncle, what other strange things?” Second Master said, “Yesterday morning, a young man brought us a hundred thousand yuan, saying it was compensation for us.”

“A hundred thousand yuan?”

Upon hearing his words, everyone was stunned.

Even Lindsey Wolfe, now the “big boss,” widened her eyes in shock.

“That much compensation for what?”

“Yeah, why give us so much money? It couldn’t be a scam, could it?”

Hearing their questions, Second Master also became anxious and said with a daze, “He just said it’s to compensate for our young crops and my medical expenses.”

The surroundings instantly became quiet, only Greg Jensen still wore a silly smile on his face.

After a long while, Second Master spoke, “Alright, let’s not worry about it too much. Since it’s been given to us, let’s take it. We didn’t steal or rob it, so what’s there to fear.

Those who suffered losses in the fields come and get your money, and see if anyone didn’t show up, go and call them over.

Right, and the money for the Yu Brothers’ family, someone go inform them, so we can get their share to them.”

“Alrighty, 1’11 go call them right away.”

Hearing about the money distribution, everyone immediately became enthusiastic..
