Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 46 Chapter 046 Site Investigation
  Mrs. Jia Zhang came to Jiacheng Gate aggressively and barged in unceremoniously.

At a glance, I saw a stack of big unity, and my eyes suddenly turned red: How could such a poor settlement come with so much money?

He took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and said sternly: "Boys from the Jiang family, what are you doing?"

Jiang Chen turned his head and glanced at the aggressive Jia Zhang: "Are you okay?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang said in a bad tone: "I heard that you want to decorate the house, and you also want to connect the tap water to the house?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes, I want to decorate the house. What does this have to do with you?"

The tone of Jia Zhang's words made him unhappy, so he was not so polite.

Jia Zhang said bitterly: "I live in this courtyard, do you think it has anything to do with me? You connected the water pipe without permission, can the water intake point in the courtyard still produce water?"

"Are you responsible for affecting everyone's water use?"

Uncle Lei explained: "Everyone, don't worry. Connecting a water pipe from here will have no impact on the water tank in the courtyard, and it will not affect everyone's water use."

Jia Zhang said: "Who are you? If you say you don't have it, then you don't have it?"

"In short, without my nod, and without the nod of everyone in the courtyard, you can't even think of connecting this water pipe."

Uncle Lei felt unhappy at being robbed of his work, but he still said to himself: "I have been doing this work for decades, and I have absolute confidence that if I separate it into a pipe, it will not affect everyone's water use."

Mrs. Jia Zhang curled her lips: "Who do I think I am? It turns out I'm just a mess."

Jiang Chen waved his hand to tell Uncle Lei to be silent. He turned to Jia Zhang and said, "Okay, I know what you want to say. I can make it clear to you that I really want to take over this water pipe."

"What is it? It came to my house and made noises. Now please get out of my house. If you don't get out, I will call the police and accuse you of breaking into a private house."

Mrs. Jia Zhang was unmoved: "What kind of people break into private houses? People who live in the same courtyard are all neighbors. It's normal to visit each other."

"Call the police. I'll see if the police station will arrest me."

Uncle Lei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if you go to someone else's house without being invited by the owner, you are breaking into a private house. If you call the police, you will really be taken away."

"Maybe you're not afraid, but you have to be careful. If this really gets in, the work, establishment, and other aspects of this junior's work will be affected."

I was afraid that Jia Zhang would be frightened by these words.

I'm fine, but if it affects my son's work, it will be a big deal.

Moreover, this juncture is the critical stage for Jia Dongxu to upgrade, so there can be no accidents.

Mrs. Jia Zhang took a deep breath: "Okay, okay, if you insist on pretending, don't blame me for not reminding you. If your water pipe is broken and lost, don't cry for father and mother."

Jiang Chen smiled: "It's okay. Just call the police when the time comes. The comrades at the police station can find out."

Jia Zhang snorted: "I'm afraid they won't be able to find out."

After saying that, he turned around and fled the room.

When I went out, I happened to meet Luo Xue.

She glanced at Luo Xue, turned around and left without saying a word.

He muttered: "This girl is good-looking, but it's a pity that she is blind and insists on getting close to that country bumpkin."

Jiang Chen showed his hands to Uncle Lei: "It's difficult to deal with such a neighbor."

Uncle Lei smiled and said: "It's okay, I've seen this kind of bully a lot. If you can't handle it, just tell me and I'll take care of it and make her obey."

This is very social.

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "That's okay. I don't have much interaction with them. I'm just worried that they will destroy my water pipes. Please keep your hands and feet clean. It's really difficult to check."

Uncle Lei smiled and said, "You, when we connect the water pipe, we don't connect it from the surface. Otherwise, once it freezes in winter, it won't be able to be used without boiling water to thaw it."

"We picked it up from underground. Even if it's winter, even if it wants to destroy it, it will take a lot of effort to dig out the soil. If you pay more attention, it won't be destroyed easily."

Jiang Chen slapped his forehead: "In this case, I will feel relieved."

Jia and Zhang came to cause trouble, but Jiang Chen didn't take it to heart.

If you really piss him off, there are ways to deal with him.

If it fails, there is no way to deal with Jia Dongxu. After taking the money, Uncle Lei asked: "When will you start construction?"

Jiang Chen thought for a while: "Tomorrow, the sooner the better."

Uncle Lei said: "You have to think about it. Once construction starts here, it will be inconvenient to live here. Where do you want to live during this time?"

Jiang Chen said: "It's okay. At worst, I'll stay in a hotel for a week."

Luo Xue said: "Why are you staying in a hotel? Today's hotels are dirty and messy. Why don't you stay at my house and experience my mother's craftsmanship?"

Uncle Lei looked at Luo Xue with a half-smile.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment: "Forget it, it's not convenient to live in your house."

It would be okay if she had a man in her family, as an orphan and a widower, it is easy for her to cause gossip.

Even if he doesn't care about it himself and doesn't worry about it affecting his future, he still has to think about others.

Luo Xue said carelessly: "It's okay. My mother and I will share a room then, and you can stay in my room."

"Aren't you just worried about someone gossiping? My mother and I are not afraid of you. What should you be afraid of? Just say so, Uncle Lei."

Uncle Lei smiled: "I think it would be better for Jiang Chen to stay in a hotel. After all, people's words can be feared."

"There's still a long time to come, so there's no rush, right?"

Luo Xue nodded: "Uncle Lei, what are you talking about!"

"Okay, then you can stay in the hotel first! You're just staying in the hotel, where are you going to have dinner?"

Jiang Chen said: "It's a state-owned hotel."

Luo Xue said: "Actually, you can go to our house for dinner and then go to the hotel. If you don't stay at our house, forget it. You can't refuse even if you don't know how to have a meal, right?"

Jiang Chen was stunned: "This is mainly because I'm afraid I'll get off work late."

He is not a fool, how could he not see Luo Xue's thoughts.

But in his heart, just because of the young lady's temper, Luo Xue was not a good candidate for his wife.

Since you have traveled through time, you must find someone who is well-behaved, sensible and obedient. Not only will you have fewer worries, but you can also play a lot of tricks.

Why do we need to invite a Bodhisattva to worship at home?

Luo Xue looked at Jiang Chen: "By the way, don't we get off work together? My mother has to wait for me to have dinner together anyway?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay, we'll see when the time comes."

Uncle Lei said: "Then I'll go back first. We'll come over tomorrow and start work on time."

Jiang Chen nodded: "My door is usually unlocked."

Uncle Lei said: "It won't work without locking it. I will bring a lock over tomorrow. I'd better lock it for you during the construction period."

"Otherwise, the materials will be smoothed out and things will be missing, which will be a troublesome thing."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Thank you!"

Uncle Lei said: "I'm leaving. I have to contact those brothers tonight. If I can't contact them, it will affect tomorrow's progress."

Jiang Chen took a box of cigarettes and gave it to Uncle Lei: "Take it and disperse your brothers. You have worked hard these days."

"I'll go to the state-owned canteen later and ask them to deliver meals at noon every day."

Uncle Lei nodded: "Sure!"

When Uncle Lei left, only Luo Xue and Jiang Chen were left in the room.

Jiang Chen said: "I'm going to the canteen. How about you, do you want to go home?"

Luo Xue said: "Of course I'll go with you. I've helped you so much. Why don't you treat me to dinner again? Don't even think about getting rid of me."
