After Escaping Famine, Three-Year-Old Fu Bao Became Everyone’s Favorite

During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 717 Even Wang Ge was confused

Ye Laosan ran back to the carpentry workshop in one breath and started to study the box that had just tripped Qingtian. He had no idea what kind of wood the box was made of; he had never seen it before.

So Ye Laosan picked up the carving knife beside him and started studying it.

At the clinic, Imperial Physician Ying treated Qingtian's injuries, and then Mrs. Ye asked Qingtian to go back with Princess Rui first.

She also had to accompany Old Lady Ye to discuss making furniture for Ye Lao Si, and she didn't dare bring Qingtian with her, worried that there were too many things and it would be too messy in the woodworking workshop, and it would be bad if the child got hurt again.

When Qingtian was carried out by Princess Rui, she couldn't help but turn around and said to Sister Ye, "Mom, remember to pick me up tonight!"

"Okay, I'll remember this. Please follow the princess back!"

After Qingtian got a definite answer, he followed Princess Rui obediently.

Here, Old Lady Ye and Sister Ye returned to the carpentry workshop, only to find that Old Third Ye had already torn the box that had tripped Qingtian into pieces, and was now poking at it with a carving knife!

Old Madam Ye said speechlessly, "Third brother, even if it was this box that tripped Qingtian, you wouldn't be so angry, right?

"Look at what you've done to a perfectly good box!

"Okay, put this crap down for now and come over here and help us figure out how to make furniture for the fourth kid!"

But Ye Lao San was already immersed in it at this time and completely turned a deaf ear to what Old Lady Ye said.

Seeing that Mrs. Ye was about to get angry, Wang Ge ran in in time and helped her to another room.

"Old lady, please calm down. I'm afraid Third Brother has come up with a solution by now. Let's not disturb him for now. Tell me what you want to do and I'll help you with your advice."

Old Madam Ye was not an unreasonable old woman. After hearing what Wang Ge said, her anger disappeared immediately. She said to him, "My fourth son is getting ready to get married. We have already bought and prepared a new house, but the furniture must be new.

"I said before that I would let the third brother do it. It just so happens that your woodworking workshop has also opened here, so it can be regarded as opening a shop for you, killing two birds with one stone."

Because the Zhou family was not in a hurry before, Old Lady Ye was not too anxious either.

No one expected that Ye Laosi would be promoted again after such a short period of time, which made the Zhou family anxious, fearing that they would miss out on such a good son-in-law.

Of course, even though she knew that the Zhou family was anxious, Mrs. Ye never had any intention of fooling or manipulating them.

I still want to make the wedding a grand one and not neglect Miss Zhou.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ge patted his chest and said, "Old lady, you are the right person to come to me for this matter.

"I've been wandering around the various woodworking workshops in Luban Hutong recently, and I know all the popular furniture styles in Beijing now.

"Let's decide on the wood and style today. I'll go to Lao Si's new house to measure the dimensions, and then we can start building..."

Before Wang Ge could finish his words, Ye Laosan in the outer room suddenly jumped up from the ground, still holding the carving knife in his hand, and ran out.

"Hey, Third Brother, what are you doing now?" Wang Ge hurriedly chased after him. "No matter what you're doing, put down the carving knife first. You're too scary."

Ye Lao San finally reacted and threw the carving knife he usually treasured onto the ground. He ran out while shouting, "I'm going to the Construction Supervisor. Don't bother with me anymore."

Wang Ge saw that Ye Lao San was holding a piece of wood in his other hand, and he knew that he must have finally made a breakthrough.

"Hey, Third Brother is really capable." Wang Ge returned to the house and couldn't help but smile. He kept praising Old Lady Ye, "Third Brother's craftsmanship is really amazing. I don't know who he learned it from. Even Master Liu, the chief craftsman, can't compare to him. It's really amazing.

"If Third Brother helps Master Liu solve his problem again this time, maybe the Chief of Construction will just hire Third Brother as his apprentice."

Wang Ge was originally praising Ye Lao San, but when Old Lady Ye and Sister Ye heard this, their expressions changed.

Old Madam Ye lowered her eyes and said, "The third brother's skills were learned from the village carpenter. They are all unsophisticated and not up to standard.

"Besides, his carpentry workshop has just been established, so he naturally has to take care of it. Why would he go to the Construction Supervisor?"

Mrs. Ye also nodded, then quickly changed the subject, "By the way, what kind of wood did you mention earlier? If we buy it from our woodworking workshop, can you give me a cost price?"

Wang Ge's train of thought was instantly diverted. "Sister-in-law, look at what you said. Can I make money from you by making furniture for our fourth son?

"Of course, the wood will be sold to you at the purchase price, and you can pay the labor fee when the time comes.

"How about this? I'll take you to a few other furniture stores in the alley to look at the furniture styles."

"Ah? Is this really possible?" Old Mrs. Ye asked in surprise, "Will the owner of the shop agree to this?"

"It's okay, let's not make a big deal about it. If you see anything you like, just wink at me and I'll remember it for you. Then we'll do it."

Old Mrs. Ye was instantly moved by what he said.

After all, when it comes to furniture, you have to see the real thing to get a better feel for it. Just listening to other people's descriptions always doesn't give you the full experience.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. Every household in the alley knows that our boss is related to General Ye, so everyone is very friendly towards us."

Wang Ge gave some instructions to the other people and went out with Old Lady Ye and Sister-in-law Ye.

After hearing this, Old Lady Ye said worriedly, "Why are you still using the Qingshan banner? You can't do this!

"No, I have to have a good talk with the third brother about this..."

“Oh, old lady, don’t worry, Third Brother is not that kind of person.

"This time, it was General Ye who took the initiative to support Third Brother. When the Imperial Guards came for inspection recently, they also informed each family. You can rest assured, old man."

Mrs. Ye was relieved at this, but she still warned: "Then you must operate with integrity and not tarnish Qingshan's reputation!"

"Don't worry, we are honest and trustworthy.

"This time when we came to Beijing to open a shop, the people that Third Brother picked were all honest and decent people who never cause trouble."

While explaining, Wang Ge led Old Lady Ye and Sister Ye out along the alley.

Unexpectedly, the owners of almost all the shops in the alley came to the door to greet them. Their attitudes were even more enthusiastic than before, and some even showed a bit of humility.

Now, not to mention Old Lady Ye and Sister-in-law Ye, even Wang Ge was confused.
