Opening wedding night: the delicate heroine is pregnant
Chapter 117 Blackmail
Before this, Teacher Feng had already taken students to inspect the yard and had a rough plan in mind, as well as a rough estimate of the cost of materials that would be needed.
"The floor tiles were lifted up violently, and most of them are damaged and cannot be used. Other parts of the house are a bit old, so we will help repair them together. If we use the same materials, it may cost about 700 yuan."
The entire floor of Shen Xingzhou's courtyard is made of ancient bricks, which are of very good quality. However, they are expensive and use fine materials, so the price is naturally more expensive.
But no matter how good the quality is, the bricks are not made of iron and cannot withstand the tossing and turning of these people.
"Is it just 700 for materials? What about the labor cost?" Qin Feixue asked again.
Teacher Feng was stunned for a moment and looked at Shen Xingzhi.
Shen Xingzhi smiled and said, "Teacher Feng is my friend who is here to help. He doesn't charge any money."
Qin Feixue looked at her and smiled, "This is a big project, how can I not charge for it! Besides, the weather is so hot now, and it takes time and energy. Even if I don't pay for it, I still have to..."
She paused as she spoke, and looked at Shen Xingzhou, not knowing what to say for a moment.
She suddenly thought about whether this was considered accepting contraband goods and whether it was legal. If it was not legal, then she would be guilty.
There is definitely nothing wrong with not asking for money and simply doing a favor for a friend, but if you ask for money, the nature of the situation is completely different.
Her aunt had told her that the matter would be handled by the Xu family. She wanted to make the Xu family bleed. Even if she couldn't shake them, at least she could make them feel disgusted.
Just at this moment, a strange man came from outside the yard. Seeing that the gate was not closed, he walked in directly.
He stopped in front of Shen Xingzhou and said, "Hello, is this Mr. Shen? You can just call me Xiao Xu. I am here to help you with the repairs to the yard, but since you have already hired someone to do it, we will pay for the specific expenses."
Xiao Xu didn't reveal his identity, but from his introduction, it could be seen that he was sent by the Xu family.
He looked Shen Xingzhou up and down. He had an extraordinary demeanor and could be recognized from the crowd at a glance.
Especially the little girl standing next to him...
Xiao Xu stared at Qin Feixue's face for a few seconds. Her skin was fair and smooth, and her standard oval face was really attractive at first sight. Even though he had met all kinds of women with Xu Qi, none of them could compare to her.
However, what surprised him was not only her outstanding appearance, but more importantly, she looked very similar to an old acquaintance of the Xu family.
But it would be impolite to look at him again. As the youngest assistant beside Xu Qi, he naturally has a keen eye and knows best what should be done and what should not be done.
Shen Xingzhou and Qin Feixue looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
The sucker is here!
"Hello, Mr. Xu." Shen Xingzhou greeted him.
Xiao Xu nodded.
Shen Xingzhou continued, "We were just discussing the final cost with the teacher who helped to repair the courtyard, and you came."
Xiao Xu knew what it meant as soon as he heard it. Before they came, his husband told them to give as much as they wanted. It seemed that he expected the other party to ask for an exorbitant amount of money. However, it was just repairing the ground, so it couldn't be that expensive.
"How much will it cost? We will pay for it."
Shen Xingzhou looked at Teacher Feng: "Teacher, how much did you say the material cost was?"
Teacher Feng glanced at Xiao Xu and understood.
He pushed his glasses and said, "If you want to perfectly repair the damaged parts of the house, then the materials you use will naturally have to be more sophisticated. It will probably cost about... 1500 yuan!"
Qin Feixue felt that this teacher had definitely never done such a thing. Since the Xu family was here, she could be a little harsh.
Shen Xingzhou thought so too.
"I think 2000 is enough," he said.
Teacher Feng was not surprised, but he was actually worried. 2 yuan was enough to repair the whole house, and there would be some left over!
Teacher Feng took off his glasses and wiped them. He had never done such a thing before, so he was very nervous and his hands were shaking.
Shen Xingzhi took the glasses from his hand and helped him wipe them: "I don't think 2000 yuan is enough!"
"Because of their carelessness, some of the paintings by masters on the wall have been stained. Those are ancient relics left over from hundreds of years ago! No amount of money can buy them back now! And the materials used are all precious materials such as green pine and gold foil. I think 1 yuan is more appropriate for the whole thing."
Qin Feixue was amazed, how cruel!
Teacher Feng also thought so. The masterpiece on the wall was exaggerated. It was not the Forbidden City. How could they invite a master to paint on the wall of their house? At most, it was the work of a skilled craftsman.
It's not a celebrity's work, so even if it's an antique from hundreds of years ago, it won't work after thousands of years!
As for the painting on the wall, several pieces of glue had already fallen off the corners last night before the group of people had even started to throw mud on it.
But he still relaxed. What Shen Xingzhi said made sense. 2000 yuan didn't seem reasonable.
Shen Xingzhi looked at Xiao Xu: "Mr. Xu?"
Xiao Xu smiled and was not angry.
He knew that the other party did it on purpose and was trying to disgust him.
If he was irritated at this moment, it would suit their wishes. Having stayed in the Xu family for so long, he had always been good at managing his facial expressions.
He could remain expressionless no matter how big the matter was, let alone a small amount of ten thousand yuan!
It is true that the Xu family can easily afford this money.
The gentleman said he would give him whatever he wanted, but he couldn't be so foolish as to give him exactly that. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in the position he is in today.
"Master Shen, are you trying to take advantage of the situation?"
Shen Xingzhi shook his head: "Mr. Xu is not right."
Shen Xingzhou continued: "This is called adding insult to injury!"
Xiao Xu laughed twice, still looking calm: "Master Shen Da and Master Shen Er are really humorous."
"This house is truly a masterpiece in terms of both structure and quality. If it were built a hundred years ago, it would certainly be worth the price..."
He thought for a moment and then said, "I think 2000 yuan is reasonable."
He did not outright deny the value of the house, nor would he arbitrarily raise the price to a disadvantage.
Everyone knew how the house was dug up, but no one said it openly.
If the Shen family is determined to hold Wang Guoan accountable, then he will probably have to pack up his things and go back home. This will not be conducive to stabilizing the morale of the group of people below him.
So it is better to follow the Shen family's wishes and make them happy.
2000 yuan is just the right price.
Shen Xingzhi lowered his eyes and smiled slightly. The old foxes pulled back and forth for a while before it ended.
The heavy rain had stopped long ago, and Teacher Feng took his students to make a repair plan.
Qin Feixue went to look at the spring next to the corner of the wall. The water flow had become much smaller and would not spill out. However, the surrounding walls looked shaky from being soaked in water. It was estimated that they needed to be rebuilt together.
