A second-class mason wearing a short coat raised his eyebrows, pretending not to know anything, and asked in an evil voice: "Brother Sang, who are these people, and why are they all gathered here?"
He has a pair of moves, coupled with his exaggerated musculature, he is really vicious.
The villagers of the Five Surnames and Hegou Village were startled by the loud shout.
They never dreamed that Sang Xuanqing, a powerless and moneyless person, could actually get famous craftsmen from Fu County to come to help her build a house.
Even Li Zheng (village official) doesn't have such prestige and appeal.
It's over, it's over.
They must have accidentally offended someone they shouldn't have.
They were both regretful and angry at the moment, but seeing so many craftsmen coming to help Sang Xuanqing, no matter how much resentment and dissatisfaction they had, they could only hold it in their stomachs.
"I, we..."
Zheng Quchi saw that their faces were all red from holding back, but they couldn't say a complete sentence. Their expressions were so funny that they made people laugh.
She was able to relax: "Oh, they came to apologize to my eldest brother and Yaomei for the previous dispute and for their personal slander of the Sang family, right?"
Is it right?
Their faces froze, thinking of what they had said to Sang Xuanqing in front of the villagers of Hegou Village, but now they felt regretful.
But the deal is already done, they have been tricked by this little black man.
The five major families all lowered their heads and answered awkwardly: "Yes, yes."
Qinggong's usually gentle face turned serious at this moment: "We in Fu County will never exclude outsiders. Now that we have registered here, we will be fellow villagers from now on. It is best to be harmonious and friendly."
Someone next to me whispered: "That's Yishang Qinggong, right?"
"Yes, it's him. I heard a few days ago that Li Zheng wanted to build a seven-star table for him. I visited him several times but was rejected. But I never thought that he would come to build a house for Sang Zizi's family."
At this time, the five families were shocked when they heard the name. Of course, they had also heard of the name of Yi Shang Qing Gong.
But it was the first time I saw him.
Qinggong is a fourth-level craftsman. Craftsmen of higher levels in Ye Guoping are always respected, and their status is different from that of ordinary civilians.
They were silenced by the training and didn't know what to say in reply. They could only wipe the cold sweat from their heads and say yes.
"I, we apologize." The old Wu family's daughter-in-law is also a shrewd person. She quickly led several women who were making trouble forward: "We didn't ask clearly about what happened before. My brat told me that he was the first one. Those who bully Yaomei, I will ask them to make a proper apology to Yaomei when they see her next time."
Their current attitude has completely changed 180 degrees.
He has a good voice and good temper, and his eyebrows are low and his eyes are pleasing to the eye.
Seeing the situation, their men also came out, and they all bowed their hands to Brother Sang. They blushed and said: "Boss of the Sang family, what happened before was because we were wrong. We shouldn't talk nonsense, and we shouldn't call you a cripple. Please forgive me. From now on, your Sang family’s affairs will be our five surnames’ affairs, and nothing like yesterday will never happen again.”
After finishing his words in one breath, he became sullen and wanted to pull his wife away in a hurry.
Brother Sang looked at Zheng Quchi blankly: "Brother Qing, this..."
"Brother, are they not apologizing sincerely enough, or do you still have something to say?"
Her light words made the five families halfway there freeze up, and it was either a matter of leaving or not.
Seeing that they were so frightened by Brother Qing'er's words, Brother Sang felt a little funny and bitter: "No."
They breathed a sigh of relief and ran as fast as if they were being chased by ghosts.
Other villagers who were watching the excitement also hurriedly ran away, fearing that Chi Yu would be harmed.
After cleaning up the local gangsters in the village, Zheng Quchi, who was still establishing himself as a powerful person, turned around and realized that something was wrong with Brother Sang: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Brother Sang looked at her and originally wanted to hold back, but his red eyes and emotions revealed his feelings.
There is relief and gratitude, but also guilt and self-blame.
"It's nothing. Big brother just feels like I'm dragging you down... With a useless big brother like me, you have to shoulder the responsibility for everything. I really feel..."
"Brother." Zheng Quchi said with a bitter look on his face: "If it weren't for seeking justice for you, I wouldn't be willing to spend so much money to hire someone to build a house. Now I finally understand what it means to be dignified in front of others, but you will suffer behind the scenes. .”
Brother Sang was still shocked.
He felt that Sang Xuanqing was so brilliant and outstanding now, like the rays of the sun setting a golden edge on it, so far away from a loser like him. But after she acted so miserably, the alienation that had just been built in his heart didn't matter. All forgotten.
"Don't talk nonsense, these people...are not the ones you can afford with such a small amount of money."
Zheng Quchi thought to himself.
Why isn't it money? Favor is more valuable than money. Just using it for such a small thing... Oops, she is starting to feel distressed again.
"What on earth... happened to you in the camp?" He asked her with a frown.
All the changes seemed to have happened after a trip to the camp.
Zheng Quchi thought that this matter should not be discussed. With his worried temper, he would definitely be afraid of blaming himself if he spoke out and would not even be able to sleep.
"Let's talk about this later."
After Zheng Quchi comforted his eldest brother, he had to get down to business.
"Young workers, and Uncle Li, thank you for speaking out. Otherwise, I might not be able to repair this house."
"It's a small thing, it's nothing compared to what Brother Sang did."
"Yes, Brother Sang, just tell us how you want to repair your new house. We will only treat it as help and we will never take your money."
When she and her brother were crying about poverty just now, they all heard it and thought it was funny.
Although Zheng Quchi is obsessed with money, he doesn't want to take advantage of others.
She said mysteriously: "I can't let your help go in vain. When the house I designed is repaired, you will definitely feel that your trip was worthwhile."
When they heard this, they looked puzzled.
Houses...the people here have built a lot of them. Not to mention ordinary thatched houses, even adobe houses with courtyards in the county have been built a lot. How could she think that repairing her house would make them feel " It’s a worthwhile trip.”
Is this a pretense, or does she have some ingenious craftsmanship to show off?
——
On the banks of the Mohe River, crimson blood swirled, dyeing half of the river red.
On the canal, a two-story ship was moored at the port. All the people on it were cleaned, the bodies were thrown into the river, and an elite team quickly sneaked in.
"Report——A large number of goods enclosed in wooden boxes were found in the bottom warehouse."
On the deck, Yu Wensheng tapped the guardrail with his fingertips, and Wei Yao showed a big excited smile: "General, we have gained a lot from this trip."
"Report - an injured woman in white was found in the ship's warehouse. She said her name was Gong Shulan."
"Oh~" Yu Wensheng turned his head, with a meaningful smile on his face: "Interesting, so interesting."
