Chapter 280: Inspection—Benefits

Yang Qing didn't expect the deaf old lady to have this insight; on television that old lady is the main reseller of ration tickets.

Yang Qing raised a hand to stop her.

"Keep this money; if you have no cash on you and something happens, it'll cause trouble."

"When the weather clears, let the courtyard folks showcase their style and pool this money for you."

"Your house leaked last time; now it even has a big hole. It needs major repairs, otherwise it's unsafe to live in."

The deaf old lady waved her hands repeatedly.

"No need, no need; in the past two years I've been planting vegetables and earned a bit of money."

"I also saved on buying vegetables; altogether I've saved some."

"Plus what I saved before."

"I have a little over a hundred; if that's not enough, I also have a bracelet I can sell later."

"I still have many days ahead of me; if I cause trouble now, it'll only make people dislike me."

"I have no children; leave a bit of incense lineage, so that when I die there's someone to handle my remains."

Yang Qing let out a sigh.

The solitary elderly aren't easy; the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai ended up together, each with their own unavoidable hardships.

She hasn't really harmed others; she used Sha Zhu, not only matched him with Lou Xiao'e, repeatedly reminded him to stay away from Qin Huairu, and after death she even gave the house to Sha Zhu.

Working with Yi Zhonghai, when she acted it was mostly against Jia Zhangshi and Xu Damao, so it can't be called aiding tyranny.

Although there are many schemes of mutual exploitation, judging a person simply as good or bad is too simplistic; human nature is complex, inherently a mix of good and evil.

Yang Qing himself isn't exactly a good person, let alone hold lofty moral expectations of others.

"Fine, if you insist on showcasing your style, I won't stop you."

"Old lady, hurry and change clothes; I'll go check on the others."

The deaf old lady waved hurriedly.

"Go ahead, go ahead, I'll take care of the house."

Yang Qing stepped out of the house; the deaf old lady didn't rush to change clothes, but closed the door, climbed onto the kang, and from a spot on the kang took out a box.

She hid the box, then began to tidy herself.

Yang Qing went door to door checking the situation.

After arriving at Liang Ladi's house, Liang Ladi and Nan Yi were hiding at the doorway, watching the rain with four children.

From such a leisurely demeanor, it was clear the house had no problem.

"Nan Yi, how's the situation at home?"

Nan Yi gave him a thumbs‑up.

"Master's level is like this; with such heavy rain, our house didn't leak at all."

Liang Ladi interjected.

"Thanks to the renovation; otherwise the whole house would have leaked."

"Yang Qing, would you like to come in and sit?"

Yang Qing waved his hand.

"No need, I'll check on the other houses."

After saying goodbye to Liang Ladi's home, Yang Qing went to Er Da Ye's place.

Er Da Ye's neighbor had the entire house leaking; at his place there was nothing, Liu Guangtian was assisting there, and the situation was acceptable.

After parting with them, Yang Qing arrived at Xu Damao's place.

Upon entering, he heard Lou Xiao'e's complaint.

"I said we should renovate, but you wouldn't listen; look, how can people live with the leaks now?"

Seeing Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e both soaked, Yang Qing didn't go further inside.

"How's the situation? Need any help?"

Xu Damao waved his hands repeatedly.

"No need, no need; Yang Qing, go check the others."

Now, if Lou Xiao'e weren't wearing underwear inside, the spots would all show.

There's no way she could ask Yang Qing for help.

Yang Qing didn't press the issue, nor was he after her two steamed buns.

"Then I'll go check the front yard."

Walked to the front yard.

Each household was similar, everyone busy collecting water.

Liu Shumin even thought that with such heavy rain nobody would come, so she put on a small vest and got to work.

Yang Qing entered, saw it, and quickly stepped back out.

"He Yuzhu, how's the situation here? Need a hand?"

Sha Zhu came out carrying a basin, pouring water while thanking Yang Qing.

"Yang Qing, with such heavy rain, thanks for coming, but I'm fine here and can still manage the work."

Yang Qing squinted, looked at him, and asked solemnly.

"Are you sure?"

He Yuzhu, busy and dizzy, replied without thinking.

"No problem."

Yang Qing asked directly.

He Yuzhu, Yu Shui's house, have you gone to see it?

Sha Zhu, hearing that, exclaimed "Holy shit!"

He shoved the basin in his hand into Yang Qing's embrace, then rushed toward the side room.

Holy shit, I forgot Yu Shui's house, Yang Qing, you keep pouring first, I'll go check.

Yang Qing hehe-laughed, holding the basin just entered.

This is you letting me in.

At this moment, Liu Shumin had just thrown on Sha Zhu's shirt, hadn't had time to button it.

As soon as Yang Qing entered, he saw her towering breasts and protruding nipples.

Liu Shumin gave him a white look, then buttoned up.

The small undershirt couldn't cover the nipples, plus the undershirt itself was wet, so Liu Shumin's clothing slowly clung all over her body.

Liu Shumin knew covering up was useless, so she simply let go.

You want to have a look, huh.

Just don't delay the work, anyway looking doesn't cost any flesh.

Yang Qing just glanced twice, enjoyed a bit of Sha Zhu's former welfare, then went to pour water.

Maybe it's because Liu Shumin saw Sha Zhu not returning for a while.

She simply started moving the bed, the table, etc., since she'd done it before, she prepared to lie flat.

Yang Qing also lent a hand, after moving things, he said goodbye.

After a close-up scan, Liu Shumin indeed had some goods.

It's a bargain for Sha Zhu.

Afterwards he went to other houses to look, everyone was busy fetching water.

Yi Zhonghai this time, even because his house leaked too much, didn't even have a chance to go out and enjoy the benefits.

Help Yi Zhonghai? How could that be possible, Yang Qing said a couple sentences and ran off.

Soon Yang Qing arrived at Qin Huairu's home.

Qin Huairu's place has been neglected for years, plus today's rain is so heavy, outside it's pouring down, inside it's dripping patter.

Yang Qing glanced in and saw Qin Huairu busy, frazzled.

However, there were no other kids seen in the house.

Yang Qing hurried over to help Qin Huairu move things.

Qin Sis, where are Bang Geng and them?

Qin Huairu was busy, dizzy, plus the rain was loud, until Yang Qing spoke did she hear.

She looked up and it was actually Yang Qing.

Her face lit up with joy, then she said.

They all went to his grandma's place, that side doesn't leak.

The little brats are scared of thunder, they can't help, only hinder, so we chased them off.

Look at this leaking situation now, do I still need to fetch water?

If you can move important stuff to the side and protect it, that's already good.

Look, I haven't poured water outside; the water I collected just goes straight onto the ground.

You came over, just in time to help me move these things over there, where the rain is lighter.

Jia Zhangshi's house actually didn't leak either.

It seems after this incident, we can have Lei Gensheng carry out a targeted renovation promotion.
