The blue bricks and gray tiles have a pure color and are full of historical charm, which makes people feel at ease.
A little water still remains in the small pond in the southeast corner, and the lush green moss adds a touch of elegance.
The entire courtyard is calm and peaceful, making it a good place to live.
It must be said that the princes of ancient times had some foresight when it came to building their residences.
He Daqing opened the three rooms one by one to let them air out.
Chen Lei followed behind, scanning the surroundings. After observing carefully for a while, he nodded repeatedly, having already come up with a plan in his mind.
"Master He, these rooms look a bit old on the surface, but the foundation is fine. They can be moved into after we buy some materials and renovate them."
I'll bring two people, we'll start work tomorrow, and it'll be finished in ten days.
Excluding building materials, the price is 400,000; including building materials, the price is 900,00
If there are any other requirements, they will be calculated separately.
"I trust you, I'll leave everything to you."
I'd also like to have a set of furniture made while I'm at it; do you have any suitable options?
Leave professional matters to professionals. He Daqing knew nothing about construction, but he knew Chen Lei was a reliable person.
If given enough face, Chen Lei certainly won't ruin his own reputation.
"My eldest son is a carpenter. He apprenticed under Xu the carpenter in the south of the city and has been a master carpenter for a year. His skills are decent."
If you trust him, you can entrust the task to him.
Chen Lei is straightforward, and he wouldn't dare to push his son out if his skills weren't up to par.
If handled poorly, it could severely damage the reputations of both father and son.
People who make a living through their skills value their reputation.
"Like father, like son. With your excellent skills, your son is sure to be just as good."
I'll go take a look first, and if it's suitable, I'll have him make this set of furniture.
Since it's better to handle things with two different people at once, and He Daqing certainly doesn't want to go through any more trouble if he can get things done in one go.
Having paid half the amount as a deposit, He Daqing originally wanted to invite Chen Lei to stay for dinner that evening.
However, Chen Lei was in a hurry to find someone to prepare the ingredients and declined He Daqing's invitation.
With the new house settled, He Daqing was preparing to go to the market to buy some groceries to celebrate tonight when several women suddenly surrounded him.
"Da Qing, why didn't you tell us you were buying a house?"
"You already have two rooms in your house, why would you buy another one?"
"Yes, two rooms are more than enough."
Many of the residents in the courtyard houses have several children and have long complained that their living space is too cramped.
They had long coveted this area of the East Courtyard, but had never had the opportunity to make a move.
They were somewhat dissatisfied that He Daqing had gotten there first, and they openly and subtly made sarcastic remarks.
"My son Zhuzi has finished his culinary apprenticeship and will be moving back to the courtyard in a few months."
In another three or four years, I should be able to get married.
I need to plan ahead for him.
He Daqing had already made up his mind that when He Yuzhu returned from his studies next year, he would give the two rooms in the middle courtyard to his eldest son.
After he got married, he lived with his daughter Yushui in the east wing of the house.
Living like this, without being crowded, and with the whole family able to look after each other, isn't that wonderful?
"Shazhu will have to wait a few more years to get married, you're too impatient."
The women's words had a sour tone, but their momentum had weakened considerably.
Among the younger generation in the courtyard, Jia Xudong and He Yuzhu are the oldest.
Other families' children are still far from being ready to get married.
Unable to gain the upper hand verbally, and after a while, the women lost patience and prepared to disperse.
After lying in the house all day, Jia Zhangshi limped out and cursed, "He Daqing, you heartless bastard!"
This house belongs to the Jia family; what right do you have to take it from us?
Upon hearing that He Daqing had bought a house, Jia Zhangshi, whose injuries had not yet healed, was furious and dragged herself out to seek revenge.
"Jia Zhangshi, you shrew."
If you want a house in the factory, then pay for it yourself.
"If you keep arguing, I won't hit you, but Jia Xudong will definitely get a beating."
Dealing with such a shameless scoundrel requires more than words; you have to use your fists, and He Daqing happens to have them.
"you you……"
In the end, Jia Zhangshi was nothing more than a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. She was good at bullying honest people, but she had no temper when she encountered someone tough.
"Old Jia, open your eyes and take a look."
We, a widow and her orphan, are being bullied. I don't want to live anymore.
"Take the people who are bullying us away!"
As usual, Jia Zhangshi lay on the ground, throwing a tantrum and crying out to heaven and earth.
He Daqing locked the courtyard gate and left the central courtyard, passing by Jia Zhangshi.
Seeing that it was getting late, the women who had been watching went home to do their chores.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Jia Zhangshi, who was lying on the ground, finally had no choice but to get up, spit on the ground, and stomp on it repeatedly as if she wanted to crush someone's face.
To make matters worse, Jia Zhangshi slipped and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ah, help! Someone help me!"
People are going to die.
Jia Zhangshi, who had broken her leg, cried out for help from the ground.
The departing women glanced back only once, assuming that Jia Zhangshi was still putting on an act, and buried their heads like ostriches, pretending not to see anything.
They left Jia Zhangshi to suffer in the same place.
The screams continued, but no one paid any attention to her. It was Yi Zhonghai's wife, Yao Min, who took pity on her and came out to check on the situation.
"Jia Zhangshi, after making such a fuss for so long, it's time for you to shut up."
Yao Min was somewhat annoyed. Jia Zhangshi was really going too far, making so much noise that the neighbors couldn't have peace.
"I broke my leg, please help me."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After howling for most of the day, Jia Zhangshi was exhausted and her voice was very weak.
Seeing that Jia Zhangshi's face was pale and her breathing was weak, Yao Min realized that she was not lying and finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
Yao Min stepped forward, supported Jia Zhangshi's body, and tried to pull her up.
Unfortunately, Jia Zhangshi was too fat, and Yao Min wasn't strong enough to lift her up.
In this urgent situation, Yao Min had no choice but to run around appealing to her neighbors for help.
They hailed a cart outside the courtyard, and several women managed to lift Jia Zhangshi onto the cart and take her to the hospital.
At the same time, someone was sent to the steel rolling mill to inform Jia Xudong.
After a long and difficult journey, the group finally got Jia Zhangshi to the hospital. The doctor asked about the patient's family members and also asked them to pay the hospitalization fees.
We're just neighbors; helping to get him to the hospital was already more than enough.
Besides, I was in a hurry to leave, and I didn't have much money on me.
Moreover, since Jia Zhangshi was a notorious scoundrel, they were afraid of getting into trouble and dared not vouch for her.
No one responded, and the doctor dared not attempt to treat the patient without authorization.
Madam Jia had no choice but to stay outside a little longer.
It wasn't until Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai rushed over and completed the formalities that Jia Zhangshi was carried into the operating room.
The broken leg was already a bad situation, and the continuous delay made Jia Zhangshi's injury worse and caused her to suffer more.
That evening, after the bones were set, Jia Zhangshi, who had been lying in bed for a long time, slowly woke up.
Jia Dongxu, who was standing by her side, cried out, "Mom, you're finally awake."
What is going on here?
How did you get so badly injured?
With difficulty, Jia Zhangshi raised her hand, pointed at Yao Min in the ward, and said weakly, "She pushed me."
Chapter 8 Framed
Yao Min, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and then a surge of anger rose to her head.
"You bullshit!"
Yao Min kindly rescued Jia Zhangshi, but the old hag repaid kindness with enmity and bit her.
"Jia Zhangshi, have you lost your mind?"
Why did my wife push you?!
Yi Zhonghai spoke out in defense.
Yi Zhonghai usually protects the Jia family, so he doesn't know what's gotten into Jia Zhangshi today, making her bite people indiscriminately.
"Yes, Mom, you've got it wrong."
