After drinking the hot noodle soup and eating a few pieces of braised pork, Shen Lie stood up, spat on his hand, and started swinging the sledgehammer again.
"Eighty, eighty!"
Seeing the broken section of the courtyard wall falling down, the plasterer began to measure the dimensions and discuss with Shen Lie how many bricks to use, but at this moment.
There were chaotic footsteps outside the open courtyard door. Shen Lie put down the sledgehammer and looked up to see the pawnshop owner hurriedly walking in with a long attendant.
Look at this profiteer...
Shen Lie's face stiffened and his brows furrowed slightly, but before he could speak, the pawnshop owner came over with a smile on his face.
"Oops."
The shopkeeper grabbed Shen Lie's arm, with a smile on his face, and laughed like a drake: "Master Shen, this is really a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Shen Lie was slightly stunned.
Then he watched the pawnshop owner reach out and take a box of silver from Chang Sui's hand. Without any explanation, he put the silver box into his hand.
That disgusting withered face now turned into a smile.
Shen Lie was stunned.
But I saw the pawnshop owner nodding and bowing to apologize: "Mr. Shen is such a hero. There are so many adults, so he won't argue with the villain. This money... The villain returned the original amount. I have offended many things, so I still have to pay for it." Please excuse me……"
During the conversation.
The pawnshop owner put down the money, then nodded and bowed his head and slowly exited Shen's house, leaving a few people in the yard messy in the wind.
In the yard of Shen's family, Yun'er was eating, and the plasterers looked at the silver box in Shen Lie's hand, and they had long been confused.
Shen Lie was also speechless. He looked down and opened the silver box. It was filled with ten silver ingots, exactly one hundred taels.
Not a penny is missing.
The money handed over came back.
At this time, the Shen family was quiet for a while. In the silence, Shen Lie's mind showed that beautiful face, and his heart felt warm.
Silent heart.
Uncontrollably jumping for joy.
"It's her again..."
With some gratitude in his heart, Shen Lie silently walked into the main hall holding a hundred taels of cash, hid it in the hole under the table, and then walked out quickly.
Then Shen Lie opened his mouth and showed a bright smile: "Work!"
When he swung the sledgehammer again, Shen Lie's mood couldn't help but heat up, and he felt as if there was endless strength in his body!
same time.
Jinyiwei North Town Fusi, Liutiao Street Health Office.
The captain in bright red brocade clothes came in and out from time to time. In the official hall, Baihu Tianhong put his legs on the table and was looking through the account book in his hand.
At this time, someone knocked on the door gently.
Tian Hong said loudly: "Come in!"
A commander-in-chief hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Tian Baihu's ear: "Sir, the matter has been settled, and the Hui merchants have softened."
Tian Hong smiled slightly and said slowly: "I understand, what is going on on the street... tell the people below to keep an eye on it!"
The general manager hurriedly responded that in this three-acre area of Willow Street, nothing could be hidden from Jin Yiwei's eyes.
Seeing the general flag nodding and bowing back, Tian Hong narrowed his shining eyes, pondered, and whispered softly: "Come back!"
While talking, Tian Hong picked up the wolf hair on the table, thought about it, wrote a line of handwriting, and then told the general flag: "Take this note to Zhang Mansion, give it to the concierge, and then ask the concierge to transfer it." To Zhang Kui and Zhang Huyuan...do you understand?"
The commander-in-chief understood the idea and hurriedly responded: "I understand, I understand."
Seeing the general flag walking away quickly with the note, Tian Hong felt a little more at ease, so he picked up the herbal tea on the table and took a sip, thinking over and over in his mind.
No matter what the relationship between Shen Lie and the daughter of the Zhang family is, whether they are far or close, close or distant, they are people who can eat at the same table as the daughter of the Zhang family!
Such people need to be well taken care of when trying to make a living on their own territory.
This world...
Be careful and you won’t make a big mistake!
Inner city, Taishi Mansion.
The weather was very clear and cloudless.
The inner residence of Zhang Mansion was somewhat cold and very quiet.
In the first month of the year, the weather got a little warmer in the afternoon.
Zhang Jingxiu was wearing a thick fur coat and sitting in a quiet and elegant small courtyard, among several plum blossom trees. He was playing with a jade flute with his slender hands like mutton-fat white jade, turning the jade flute around on his fingertips.
The other delicate white hand held a volume of travel notes and read through it carefully.
At this time, the maid came to report: "Miss, Zhang Kui said that someone from outside the house came in with a note."
Zhang Jingxiu didn't pay attention. While reading the book, he responded reservedly: "Who sent it?"
The maid hurriedly blessed her and said softly: "It's the man from Willow Street..."
A moment.
Zhang Jingxiu's slender hand that was turning the jade flute stopped, she raised her bright and pretty face, and said angrily: "What trouble did that bad guy get into again?"
As soon as Shen Lie was mentioned, Miss Zhang became furious. She yelled angrily and kept saying: "He is noble and noble. He does not want to cling to the powerful. It seems that I am a deceitful person!"
"The ultimate hypocrisy!"
The maid only mentioned one sentence and was scolded by the young lady. She was startled and quickly responded: "Yes, young lady."
Seeing her young lady losing her temper, the maid's heart was pounding. It seemed that the bastard had really made her very angry!
It's been several days, and the lady still hasn't calmed down.
The maid also hurriedly gritted her teeth and cursed a few words: "It's true that mud can't hold up a wall!"
After a while, when the young lady fell silent, the maid couldn't help but raise her head and secretly looked at her young lady's bright face, delicate makeup, and clenched teeth.
Then the maid whispered: "Miss, then this piece..."
Zhang Jingxiu seemed to have finished losing his temper, calmed down a little, and then said leisurely: "Bring it here."
The maid hurriedly handed over the note. Zhang Jingxiu took it and looked at it, then put it aside and started reading again.
For a while, there was only the sound of turning books from time to time under the plum blossom tree.
After a while, Miss Zhang's clear and melodious voice sounded again in the small courtyard: "Tell Zhang Kui to go to Liutiao Street Health Center and say... I understand."
The maid was confused when she heard this, but she still obediently agreed: "Yes."
After quietly exiting the courtyard, the maid rolled her eyes and understood that she knew her young lady very well.
Perhaps the young lady herself has not yet realized that she really has a special regard for that person. Speaking of which, there are not many young talents in this world who are willing to be scolded by the young lady in a coquettish and angry manner, and are happy to do so.
After a while, the maid quickly came out of the inner house, walked through the long corridor and corridor to the signing room in the front yard, and whispered a few words to Zhang Kui, the nurse who had been waiting for a long time.
Not long after, Zhang Kui's figure disappeared into the noisy streets.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
early morning.
Goulan Hutong, Shenjia.
As the newly painted dark door opened, Shen Lie stood at the door, stretched, and looked back at the newly renovated courtyard.
Today's courtyard is very tidy and clean. Everything that needs to be repaired has been repaired. It has vaguely restored the original appearance of the green bricks and green tiles in the early years. Water has been sprinkled on the ground, making it look very clean and tidy.
Shen Lie sniffed, the air was filled with the fragrance of earth, and he stretched his muscles comfortably, feeling a sense of belonging in his heart.
