Chapter 762: Insatiable
Wan Ping'an and Liu Haizhong arrived at Jia Zhangshi's door and knocked on the door of the room where she lived.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Coming, coming," Jia Zhangshi's voice came from inside the door.
Creak.
The door was opened, and Jia Zhangshi, looking haggard, poked her head out from the room.
After seeing clearly that it was Liu Haizhong, Jia Zhangshi's spirits improved significantly, and she greeted him enthusiastically:
"Second Elder, please come in. Why have you suddenly come to visit?"
"Have you eaten this morning?"
"I have, I just finished eating not long ago," Jia Zhangshi smiled.
"Oh, that's perfect. I came here today with First Elder Wan Ping'an to bring you those five yuan."
As Liu Haizhong spoke, he took out a red envelope containing five yuan and handed it over.
As soon as Jia Zhangshi heard the name Wan Ping'an, she didn't want to talk anymore. Didn't he say he wouldn't give it to her yesterday? What was he trying to do today?
Although Jia Zhangshi didn't want to talk, she didn't refuse to accept it. After all, five yuan was quite a lot,
And since Liu Haizhong had personally come to deliver it, she had even less reason to decline.
Jia Zhangshi carefully took the envelope and looked down at the amount on it.
"Second Elder, my family is really too busy to get away; otherwise, I would have had to go to your house to visit you both!" Jia Zhangshi said, moved to tears.
"It's alright, it's alright," Liu Haizhong waved his hand hurriedly.
Jia Zhangshi only acted politely toward Liu Haizhong, completely forgetting about Wan Ping'an.
Wan Ping'an thought to himself that this old woman was not a good thing and even ignored him; 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 Elder and I discussed giving to you. Once you have this money, don't pour water at the doorway again and cause others to slip."
Jia Zhangshi looked up and rolled her eyes at Wan Ping'an, curling her lips: "Do you even need to remind me of that?"
"That's good." As Wan Ping'an spoke, he pointed to the window outside: "You should hurry up and wipe the windows now; don't get the newly installed glass windows dirty."
"Isn't that exactly what I'm preparing to do!" Jia Zhangshi said as she picked up a rag and bent down to wipe the glass window.
"Second Elder, 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 work shed and watch them repair the wall, so I won't delay you..." Liu Haizhong said as he got up to leave.
At this moment, Jia Zhangshi suddenly shouted: "Hey, Second Elder, wait."
"What's wrong?" Liu Haizhong stopped and turned back to ask.
Jia Zhangshi pointed to the corner of the wall and said: "Second Elder, look, dust has piled up in this corner. Can you have someone help me clear it away?"
"Can't your Jia Dongxu do this? Although our courtyard intends to start repairing things for everyone, don't be too greedy for petty advantages, Jia Zhangshi."
"What do you mean I'm greedy for petty advantages? Where am I being greedy? I'm just asking someone to help me sweep up the dust."
"Oh?"
"Really, I swear I'm absolutely not lying to you."
Liu Haizhong nodded and said: "Alright, then I'll go find those few of them and have them come over to help you sweep the dust."
"Hey... hey, thank you, Second Elder, thank you, Second Elder."
Jia Zhangshi agreed repeatedly, overjoyed.
"Then I'll be going."
"Mm."
After Liu Haizhong and Wan Ping'an had walked far away, Jia Zhangshi immediately changed her expression and muttered curses:
"Pah! You old dying thing, you actually dare to lecture me. I'm going to make you do things for me anyway, you just wait and see!" ===== CHAPTER 764 =====
