Chapter 580: Carpentry on the Weekend

Sihe Academy

Cao Weiguo is doing carpentry work in the courtyard when a heavenly sound quietly rings out.

"Ding! Weekly check-in successful!"

"Obtained Pottery Craftsmanship!"

A vast amount of knowledge and techniques for firing pottery floods into his mind.

After digesting the flood of pottery knowledge, Cao Weiguo continues his carpentry work.

He is preparing to hand-make a bed for his soon-to-be-born child.

Chi Ping'an is diligently working as his assistant on the side.

Neighbors with nothing to do watch the excitement.

Qin Jingru's eyes are full of admiration.

Liu Guangtian steals glances at Qin Jingru from time to time.

Shazhu stands next to Qin Jingru, holding sunflower seeds.

He wishes he could serve Qin Jingru like an Empress Dowager.

This excessive diligence makes Qin Huairu jealous.

The person who was clearly her own sycophant is now fawning over someone else.

However, for the sake of her long-term plan,

Qin Huairu silently endures it.

"Sister, Cao Weiguo can actually do carpentry!"

"This is too impressive!"

"Could it be that all the furniture in his house was made by himself?"

Stars appear in Qin Jingru's eyes, and that look of admiration makes Shazhu very unhappy.

Qin Huairu laughs: "Pretty much, the chairs, table, and cabinet were all made by him not long ago."

Shazhu sneers: "What's so great about carpentry? As long as you have money, what kind of furniture can't you buy?"

Qin Jingru rolls her eyes at Shazhu: "You talk as if you're so rich. Are you as rich as Cao Weiguo?"

This instantly chokes Shazhu, his old face turning red, feeling like he's lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

Comparing who has more money?

In this courtyard, there are probably few people who dare to compare with Cao Weiguo.

Yi Zhonghai used to be very rich, but now he's been hollowed out.

Shazhu has some money in his pocket, but he knows he can't compare to Cao Weiguo.

Shazhu blushes: "So what if he's rich? He's stingy and miserly! Who in the whole courtyard doesn't know he's an iron rooster!"

Qin Jingru curls her lip: "That's not called stingy, that's called knowing how to live a frugal life."

Qin Jingru's attitude makes Shazhu feel stifled, and his mood turns low.

He suddenly feels that Qin Jingru isn't that pretty anymore.

This woman is young, but her personality can't compare to Qin Huairu's.

She picks at him everywhere, looking for trouble.

Qin Jie is still better; although she's a bit older, she's gentle, kind, and knows how to care for people.

"Qin Jie, have some sunflower seeds."

"Thank you, Zhuzi."

Shazhu turns and hands the bowl of sunflower seeds to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu grabs a handful of seeds, and that smile makes Shazhu feel as if he's seen the light.

"Zhuzi, these seeds are pretty good."

"Give Uncle a few to taste."

Yan Fugui approaches with a smile.

Shazhu dodges back: "I don't even have enough for myself, so don't you be thinking about them."

Yan Fugui says unhappily: "You have the nerve to call Cao Weiguo stingy, but you're no better yourself."

These words make Shazhu feel ashamed, as if he'd been slapped across the face.

Yan Fugui turns and walks to Cao Weiguo's side: "Weiguo, the chairs at Uncle's house are broken."

"I see you have plenty of wood here, can you make a chair for Uncle?"

Cao Weiguo says while working: "Second Uncle, I can't agree to that."

"I calculated the wood I bought."

"It looks like I have plenty now, but that's because I've only just started."

"In a while, this wood will be gone."

This Yan Fugui wants to take advantage of everything, but can Cao Weiguo be a pushover?

Want to take advantage for free?

Not a chance!

Yan Fugui doesn't believe him: "You're just making excuses to Uncle! Can you really use up all this wood?"

Cao Weiguo laughs: "Look at you, this wood isn't free, could I have bought extra?"

Yan Fugui is quite sensitive to the word "money."

As soon as Cao Weiguo mentions "money," Yan Fugui stops talking immediately.

Could he not know that wood costs money? ===== CHAPTER 582 =====
