Chapter 368

After saying that, Wan Ping'an ignored the Deaf Old Lady and walked straight to the courtyard committee.

"How are you talking to me, you child?" The Deaf Old Lady was angry, stretched out her arm, and made a gesture to grab Wan Ping'an.

"What do you want!" Wan Ping'an turned back suddenly, his eyes full of warning as he glared at the Deaf Old Lady.

"Yo yo yo, who are you trying to scare!" The Deaf Old Lady shouted fearlessly, then retracted her hand, muttered a few words, and walked away.

Wan Ping'an snorted coldly and turned to walk forward.

Arriving at the courtyard committee,

Wan Ping'an began to organize the recent construction plans for the Sihe Academy,

After all, he was the one in charge now~,

The plans for how each courtyard would drain water in the winter still needed to be decided,

So Wan Ping'an called the Second Master, Liu Hai, and the Third Master, Yan Fu, to discuss it together.

After the three were seated, Wan Ping'an picked up a blueprint and said:

"Second Master, Third Master, this is the location where our Sihe Academy's drainage channel passes. Look, this is a river to the north of our Sihe Academy. Because this river is very narrow, there isn't much water. I think the section passing through the river can be utilized to make an irrigation pond, specifically to irrigate the flowers, plants, and trees in every corner of our Sihe Academy. This not only saves air but also achieves the effect of cultivation. Do you think this will work?"

"It works, this is better." Liu Hai nodded.

Yan Fu frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "First Master, I don't think it will work."

"Oh, tell me your opinion." Wan Ping'an looked at Yan Fu with interest.

"First Master, first of all, if this irrigation pond is built in this location, the original river channel must be dug out, otherwise it will affect the water source for the plants in other courtyards. We cannot afford this loss. Furthermore, we haven't finished building the surrounding wall yet. If we dig a river channel, it will seriously affect the protective measures of our courtyard, which is a very troublesome matter." Yan Fu explained.

Wan Ping'an was stunned, then made a final decision: "I'll leave this matter to you to handle."

"Yes, First Master."

Yan Fu nodded, then stood up, saluted Wan Ping'an, and went out to arrange for people to break ground.

After Yan Fu left, Wan Ping'an looked at Liu Hai and said: "Second Master, look, our courtyard currently lacks a decent management layer. I'll leave this matter to you to be responsible for!"

"Alright, I'll handle this matter." Liu Hai nodded.

Wan Ping'an smiled: "Alright, I'll leave this to you. Don't worry, the remuneration that should be given will definitely not be less!"

"Haha, easy to say, you child! By the way, First Master, I want to ask you, since that matter with Jia Zhang happened yesterday, are you still planning to give her that five-yuan subsidy?"

"Uh, yes, let's just let this matter pass. Besides, hasn't Jia Zhang already been taught a lesson?" Wan Ping'an waved his hand and said.

"That's true." Liu Hai nodded in agreement, but then asked hesitantly:

"Wan Ping'an, you say if we do this now, what if Jia Zhang doesn't appreciate it? But according to my understanding of her, she definitely will."

"Then..." Wan Ping'an pondered for a moment and said: "How about this, you come with me for two trips, and we'll go talk to Jia Zhang in person, letting her know that we are sincerely changing and are willing to pay her the compensation. As long as she can agree, this matter will be over. How about it?"

"Hmm, alright, I'll listen to you!" Liu Hai nodded in approval.

Wan Ping'an immediately got up with Liu Hai, left the family courtyard, and headed to the room where Jia Zhang lived.

Wan Ping'an and Liu Hai arrived at Jia Zhang's door and knocked on the door of the room where she lived.

Knock, knock, knock,

"Coming, coming." Jia Zhang's voice came from inside the door.

Creak

The door was opened, and Jia Zhang, with a haggard face, poked her head out from the room,

After seeing clearly that it was Liu Hai, Jia Zhang's spirits improved a lot, and she greeted them enthusiastically:

"Second Master, please come in, why did you suddenly pay a visit?"

"Have you eaten this morning?"

"Yes, I just finished eating not long ago." Jia Zhang smiled.

"Oh, that's perfect, I came here today with the First Master, Wan Ping'an, to give you those five yuan."

While speaking, Liu Hai took out the red envelope containing the five yuan and handed it over.

As soon as Jia Zhang heard the name Wan Ping'an, she didn't want to talk anymore. Didn't he refuse to give it to her yesterday? What does he want today?

Although Jia Zhang didn't want to talk, she didn't refuse to accept it. After all, five yuan was quite a lot,

Moreover, Liu Hai had come to deliver it in person, so she had even less reason to decline.

Jia Zhang carefully took the envelope and looked down at the amount on it.

"Second Master, I'm really too busy at home to get away, otherwise I would have definitely gone to your house to visit you both!" Jia Zhang said with gratitude.

"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Hai waved his hand hurriedly.

Jia Zhang was only polite to Liu Hai, completely forgetting about Wan Ping'an.

Wan Ping'an thought that this old woman was not a good thing, ignoring him too. If he had known, he wouldn't have said he would give her five yuan.

Wan Ping'an cleared his throat and said: "This five yuan is something the Second Master and I discussed giving you. After giving you this money, don't pour water at the doorway again and cause others to slip."

Jia Zhang looked up and rolled her eyes at Wan Ping'an, curling her lips: "Does that need you to remind me?"

"That's good." While speaking, Wan Ping'an pointed to the window outside: "Hurry up and wipe the window now, don't get the newly covered glass window dirty."

"Isn't that what I'm preparing to wipe!" Jia Zhang said while picking up a rag and bending down to wipe the glass window.

"Second Master, let's go. You must be tired from running around, shall we go have a cup of tea and rest?"

"No need, I have to go to the construction shed to watch them repair the wall, so I won't delay you..." Liu Hai said as he got up to leave.

At this time, Jia Zhang suddenly shouted: "Hey, Second Master, wait."

"What's wrong?" Liu Hai stopped and turned back to ask.

Jia Zhang pointed to the corner of the wall and said: "Second Master, look, there is dust piled up in this corner. Can you ask someone to help me clear it away?"

"Can't your son Jia Dong do this? Although our courtyard intends to repair things for everyone, don't be too greedy for small gains, Jia Zhang."

"What do you mean I'm greedy for small gains? Where am I being greedy? I'm just asking someone to help me sweep the dust."

"Oh?"

"Really, I swear I'm definitely not lying to you."

Liu Hai nodded and said: "Alright, then I'll go find those few people and ask them to come over and help you sweep the dust."

"Hey... hey, thank you Second Master, thank you Second Master."

Jia Zhang said happily and repeatedly.

"Then I'll go first."

"Hmm."

After Liu Hai and Wan Ping'an walked away, Jia Zhang immediately changed her face, muttering and cursing:

"Pah! You dead old thing, you actually dared to criticize me. I'll make you do things for me, just you wait!"
