Chapter 205 Everyone wants to take advantage
"Hey, Xiao Ding, your craftsmanship is really good."
When Li Fang saw the tables and chairs made by Ding Shilei, she was surprised and praised them.
Ding Shilei replied casually: "It's okay."
Li Fang rolled her eyes, as if she had some idea.
"Xiao Ding, the tables and chairs at my aunt's house are too worn out. Why don't you make a set for my aunt's house too."
Ding Shilei thought for a while and said: "Okay."
Hearing this, Li Fang smiled even more happily. She knew that Ding Shilei was easy to talk to, so there must be no problem.
Unexpectedly, Ding Shilei's next words caused the smile on Li Fang's face to pause.
"A set of tables and chairs costs 6 yuan. Aunt Li, our two families have a good relationship. I'll give you a cheaper price, just 5 yuan."
Ding Shilei only charged labor fees. Ding Shilei got the wood from the back mountain, so he didn't take the money.
Li Fang's face was stiff and she asked in a sharp voice: "What! Do you want money?"
Ding Shilei looked at Li Fang in confusion, "Well, Aunt Li, you're not asking me to do it for you for free, are you?"
Nonsense, of course it's all in vain.
Li Fang, who wanted to take advantage, also knew she couldn't say this.
"Xiao Ding, what's the relationship between our two families? It's such a simple thing to make tables and chairs, but why are you asking aunt for money?"
Li Fang looked at Ding Shilei with disapproval, she wanted Ding Shilei to take back his request for money.
Unfortunately, this time Ding Shilei did not follow her ideas and follow her wishes.
"Aunt Li, it takes a few days to make a set of tables and chairs. This is not an easy task.
And I learned carpentry just to make money, and I have already given Aunt Li a lot of advantage."
Ding Shilei said neither humble nor overbearing, and of course he didn't want to anger Li Fang.
Even so, Li Fang's chest was about to explode with anger.
She was not willing to spend money to make tables and chairs, and she felt that Ding Shilei should make them for her for free.
Ding Shilei seemed not to notice Li Fang's livid face and asked calmly: "Aunt Li, are you still making tables and chairs?"
Make a fool of yourself!
Li Fang glared at Ding Shilei, turned away, and cursed in a low voice as he walked.
"Why don't you know how to do carpentry? Think of it as a surprise to me."
"What the hell, you can do it for free and I don't even need it. Don't count on me in the future either! Humph——"
Ding Shilei ignored Li Fang's curse and continued to make a desk for Ding Shiping.
After the villagers learned that the tables and chairs made by Ding Shilei were quite good, many people came to ask Ding Shilei to make tables, chairs, cabinets, etc.
Of course, most of these people come here with the idea of taking advantage without giving any money.
No matter who it was, Ding Shilei did not let go.
You can make tables and chairs, but you have to pay for it.
For those who don't want to take advantage in the first place, giving money is normal and they think it doesn't matter.
Those who did not take advantage of it would find Ding Shilei very distasteful.
Many people in the village spoke ill of Ding Shilei and the Ding family.
Everyone is saying that the Ding family only cares about money and does not care about the people in the village, and so on.
Shen Dong did not stop the spread of rumors.
That day, Shen Weiwei's eyes were red and she returned home sadly.
Shen Dong and Zheng Yali asked for a long time, and then Shen Weiwei explained the reason while crying.
Although Shen Dong felt that he did not blame Ding Shilei for this matter, but he made his daughter so sad, how could Shen Dong not blame Ding Shilei.
Ding Shilei and the Ding family didn't pay attention to the rumors from the outside world. Anyway, they had long been used to it.
However, something unexpected happened to the Ding family soon.
Ding Shilei took on four or five jobs making tables, chairs and wardrobes.
As a result, before he could go to the back mountain to get wood, many villagers came to his door.
"The trees on the back mountain belong to the whole village, you can't use those trees."
