When Shen Qiqi heard this, her lungs were about to explode!

This coal boss is so sinister!

For that little bit of dirty money, he actually resorted to such despicable tricks. It was simply the real-life version of "destroying the bridge after crossing it"!

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

There was a raging rage in his eyes, as if he was about to rush over and eat the boss alive in the next second.

Take a deep breath!

Shen Qiqi forced herself to calm down. It was useless to be angry now. She had to find a way to solve the problem!

She is not the kind of little white rabbit who just cries when being bullied. She is a woman who wants to do big things!

She narrowed her eyes. The most important thing now was to make the new heating equipment and slap those who spread rumors in the face with her strength!

She walked straight to the carpenter's shop in the village.

"Master Zhang, Master Zhang!" Shen Qiqi shouted at the top of her voice as she entered the door. She didn't want to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"I came to you to make something!"

Carpenter Zhang was busy planing wood. When he heard the sound, he looked up and saw that it was Shen Qiqi. He quickly put down the work in his hands and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Oh, it's the third daughter-in-law. Come on, come on, sit down."

Shen Qiqi had no intention of sitting down, she directly took out the drawings and spread them on the table.

"Master Zhang, look, can you make this?"

Carpenter Zhang put on his reading glasses and looked at the drawings carefully.

His brows were furrowed, and his expression became uglier the more he looked.

"This...this...Third daughter-in-law, this thing of yours is too novel, isn't it? I've been a carpenter for so many years, and I've never seen such a structure!"

"Master Zhang, just tell me if you can do it!" Shen Qiqi was a little anxious.

"This..." Carpenter Zhang hesitated, looking embarrassed.

"Third daughter-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm not sure about this thing! What if it goes wrong and ruins my reputation? How can I survive in the village in the future?"

When Shen Qiqi heard this, her heart sank.

She knew that Carpenter Zhang was rather conservative and worried about this and that, but she didn't expect him to refuse so bluntly!

The air seemed to freeze and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Shen Qiqi looked at Carpenter Zhang, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

"Master Zhang, please think about this carefully..."

"I really can't do this..." Carpenter Zhang waved his hands repeatedly, his face full of rejection.

Shen Qiqi felt as if her heart was poured with a basin of cold water, and it instantly turned cold.

She took a deep breath. It seemed that the road to new warmth was more difficult than she had imagined!

She slowly walked out of the carpentry shop, the setting sun shining on her, stretching her shadow out.

She didn't know what to do next, she just felt a tightness in her chest.

"How could this happen..." she muttered to herself, walking home with heavy steps.

Shen Qiqi was like an eggplant hit by frost—wilted.

She wandered aimlessly in the village, her feet feeling as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

The wild flowers on the roadside were in full bloom, but she could not feel the vitality at all. Her mind was full of the troubled face of Carpenter Zhang.

"Hey, why is it so difficult to come up with something new?" Shen Qiqi sighed weakly, sat down on the edge of the field, grabbed the dogtail grass on the roadside, and twisted her fingers irritably.

"This coal boss is incredibly wicked. To profit from his own actions, he resorted to such despicable tactics! And then there's Carpenter Zhang, he's got more guts than a sesame seed and no sense of adventure at all!"

As the sun sets, the golden afterglow fills the earth, but it cannot illuminate Shen Qiqi's gloomy mood at the moment.

She felt like a bird trapped in a cage, longing for freedom but unable to do anything.

"Qiqi! Qiqi!"

Lu Qing's shout came from a distance. Shen Qiqi raised her head and saw Lu Qing running towards her with a smile on her face brighter than the sun.

"Qiqi, I found alternative materials!" Lu Qing ran to Shen Qiqi, his face flushed with excitement, his tone filled with undisguised excitement.

"I went to the next village and heard they have a special kind of bamboo that's incredibly tough. It's perfect for making our heating equipment!"

As Lu Qing spoke, he took out a bundle of emerald green bamboo from the basket behind him and shook it in front of Shen Qiqi.

"Look, what do you think? Isn't it great?"

Shen Qiqi's eyes suddenly lit up, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, full of the light of hope.

She grabbed the bamboo and touched it carefully, feeling its smooth surface and tough texture, and an indescribable joy surged in her heart.

"Great! Lu Qing, you're so awesome!" Shen Qiqi hugged Lu Qing excitedly and kissed him hard on the face.

"I knew you would find a way!"

Lu Qing was a little embarrassed by Shen Qiqi's sudden enthusiasm. He scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Hehe, as long as I can help you, I'm willing to do anything."

Shen Qiqi looked at Lu Qing, her eyes full of tenderness and her heart warm.

With a man like this by my side, what difficulties can't be overcome?

She held the bamboo, her eyes determined, and a confident smile on her lips: "Let's go find Carpenter Zhang!"

Shen Qiqi dragged Lu Qing along and rushed to Carpenter Zhang's house again with great vigor and confidence.

"Master Zhang, I'm here again!" Shen Qiqi's voice arrived before she even showed up. Her powerful voice made the teacup in Carpenter Zhang's hand shake three times.

When Carpenter Zhang saw Shen Qiqi, he subconsciously wanted to hide behind her.

"Third daughter-in-law, what...what are you doing here again?" He stuttered a little, obviously still feeling scared about the last rejection.
