Chapter 271: Furniture Disturbance

~6 min read 1,120 words

Sihe Academy

Dismissing the enthusiastic neighbors, Cao Weiguo continued to make furniture.

Planing, chiseling, shaving... working vigorously.

By lunch time, a total of 4 back chairs and 1 round table were made.

More than half of the wood bought was used, and the rest could make two cabinets.

Looking at the brand-new furniture, the residents in the courtyard were drooling.

Shazhu sat at home, his expression as if he had eaten dung.

Looking at Cao Weiguo's proud appearance, he felt blocked in his heart with anger.

This stingy and insidious villain, why can he be so glorious?

He Yushui looked at the old furniture in the room, and she didn't feel good either:

"Hey, I really envy Sister Yulan for marrying such an excellent husband."

"Eating well, dressing well, and using better things than other families."

"If I had such a set of furniture when I get married, how good it would be."

Hearing his sister's words, Shazhu felt even more jealous and angry:

"Useless thing, if you envy Song Yulan so much, then go marry Cao Weiguo as a concubine."

"Shazhu! You bastard!"

These words immediately made He Yushui ashamed and angry; she cursed angrily and slammed the door and left.

Returning to her own room, He Yushui sat on the bed angrily.

Thinking of Song Yulan's happy appearance, thinking of Cao Weiguo's handsome face.

He Yushui couldn't help but blush, feeling very envious and jealous of Song Yulan.

She and Cao Weiguo lived in the same courtyard, so they could be considered childhood sweethearts.

If she had noticed Cao Weiguo earlier, then perhaps it wouldn't have been Song Yulan who married into the Cao family.

Unfortunately, she missed it!

However, Cao Weiguo's family condition wasn't good before, and his work wasn't good either.

She really didn't look down on the poor Cao Weiguo.

By the time Cao Weiguo made it big, it was too late for her to look down on him.

He Yushui left angrily, and Shazhu didn't care at all.

What he cared about was Cao Weiguo, and what he cared about was Qin Huairu.

The more excellent Cao Weiguo was, the more jealous he was, and the angrier he felt in his heart.

Especially the look in Qin Huairu's eyes when she looked at Cao Weiguo made him feel restless.

Jia Family

Jia Zhangshi, who hadn't taken advantage, sat on the kang cursing:

"This selfish beast Cao Weiguo, he wouldn't even help make furniture, this wicked beast will definitely not be able to have a son."

"And that Song Yulan, looking like a vixen, won't have a good end following Cao Weiguo."

Qin Huairu listened to Jia Zhangshi's curses and couldn't help but complain.

Why Cao Weiguo didn't get along with the Jia family, wasn't it because she offended people.

Jia Zhangshi's daily curses, Cao Weiguo wasn't unaware.

There were many people in this courtyard, and there was no wall that didn't leak.

Qin Huairu persuaded depressedly: "Mom, stop cursing, if you keep cursing like this, it would be strange if Cao Weiguo helps our family."

Jia Zhangshi glared: "What's wrong? Are you heartbroken because I cursed Cao Weiguo?"

Qin Huairu said with shame and anger: "What are you saying? I'm afraid that if you curse people like this, you will offend Cao Weiguo miserably."

Jia Zhangshi shouted barbarically: "Offend if I offend, am I afraid of him? Not only will I curse him, but when I find an opportunity, I will also fix him to death."

Watching Cao Weiguo become more and more glorious, Jia Zhangshi couldn't stop being jealous and resentful.

She thought the one who should be glorious was her son Jia Dongxu.

The one who should be dead was Cao Weiguo.

Front Courtyard

Third Uncle's eyes shone: "I really didn't expect Cao Weiguo to have the skill to make furniture."

Third Aunt echoed with emotion: "Who says not, not only is his cooking good, but he can also make furniture."

"With so many skills, he will never go hungry."

"That chair and table are even straighter than what the old master outside made."

"If this were placed in our house, how much face would it add."

Third Uncle pondered: "Don't just be greedy, build a good relationship with Cao Weiguo."

"As long as the friendship is deep, is it a matter for him to make some new furniture for our family?"

"Cao Weiguo is so rich, maybe we don't even need to provide the wood."

Yu Li said on the side: "You really dare to calculate, Cao Weiguo is rich, but that's his."

The Yan family's stinginess and calculation made Yu Li a bit annoyed, and she also felt a bit aggrieved in her heart.

How could her life be so bad, marrying into such a family.

From the time she married over until now, she hadn't bought or made a piece of new clothing.

Usually, when eating, salted vegetables are divided by the root, and there is a meal fee every month.

Yan Jiecheng doesn't have much ability, but his ability to calculate is better than his father's.

Not only is he stingy in living, but even half of the money she earns from temporary work is taken away.

The reason is that brothers settle accounts clearly; even if the two are husband and wife, the meal fee should be shared equally.

No one can take advantage, and no one will suffer a loss.

Is this something a husband can do?

Look at Cao Weiguo's care and love for Song Yulan.

Then think about Yan Jiecheng's calculation and indifference toward her.

Yu Li's heart was full of grievances.

Third Uncle didn't feel his daughter-in-law's grievances, but instead calculated the accounts:

"Yu Li, the meal fee for last month should be paid."

"Last month, you two ate 9 more steamed buns, 10 bowls of porridge... each person has to pay 2 yuan and 60 cents more."

Yu Li took out 2 yuan from her pocket angrily:

"This is my meal fee, the extra things were eaten by your son Yan Jiecheng, go ask your son for how much money is needed."

"From this month on, I will cook for myself, and don't ask me for the meal fee."

After speaking, Yu Li walked out with resentment, tears overflowing from her aggrieved eyes.

Third Uncle looked at Yu Li's back: "Hey, this Yu Li is going to rebel."

Third Aunt cursed angrily: "This thing that eats but doesn't lay eggs, has no ability but quite a temper."

After Yan Jiecheng returned home, he was first asked for the meal fee by the Third Uncle.

Then he was scolded by the Third Aunt, followed by counting Yu Li's faults. ===== CHAPTER 273 =====
