By the time Gu Xiyan came back with the food, Mu Jinyu had everyone stop what they were doing and go eat first.
After eating, Mu Jinyu gave them a break for a little more than an hour before they continued digging holes and burying jade stones with him.
It was past seven in the evening when they finished burying the over one thousand jin of jade as instructed by Mu Jinyu.
"Hmm, you've all worked hard today, go back and rest well."
Mu Jinyu watched as the last hole was filled in and, with a smile, said to everyone.
"Not tired, not tired."
"Not hard, not hard."
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, everyone simultaneously revealed a simple and honest smile.
They indeed didn't feel it was hard; although the work was somewhat tiring, Mu Jinyu had doubled their wages, and there was a bonus of three thousand for today's work.
Therefore, these hardships simply weren't worth mentioning.
