Chapter 43 Whose Blessing Is Whom?

"Hmm." Qi Jingchuan stopped, turned around and stared straight at her, waiting for Cen Yan to continue speaking.

Cen Yan felt a little embarrassed under his intense gaze.

“The house the organization allocated to you is quite large. Can I change the layout a bit, for example, by building a separate bathroom and toilet next to it? Don’t worry, I’ll pay for it myself.”

Cen Yan felt a little embarrassed after she finished speaking. Would Qi Jingchuan think she was being pretentious, fussy, and putting on airs in the family compound? But such a thought only flashed through her mind, and Cen Yan straightened her back.

She didn't steal or rob; all her money came from her ancestors. Wearing gold and silver is not excessive for her. How is fixing a toilet considered capitalist behavior?

Cen Yan, you're really getting worse as you get older. Why are you being so subservient to Qi Jingchuan over something as trivial as a toilet? You acted first and asked for his permission later. If he dares to object, you should have just slapped him across the face.

Let him know who's in charge in this family.

"Heh!" Qi Jingchuan chuckled softly, and before Cen Yan could see clearly, his face turned cold.

Cen Yan was stunned: Was this man... sneering and mocking her?

"You can decide things at home yourself. You don't need to ask for my opinion. I'll have the workers and materials delivered later." Qi Jingchuan said and left without giving Cen Yan a chance to speak.

But once the issues of materials and sewage discharge guidance are resolved, other problems are not problems. After all, there are specialized departments responsible for and managing bricks, and every brick must be strictly registered before it enters or leaves the site.

With Qi Jingchuan's intervention, at least two bushels of bricks were brought back.

She can then cover it with a tarpaulin, plant a row of climbing plants and flowers in the corner, let them grow and hang up to the top to cover the tarpaulin, and then a separate bathroom will be created.

Thinking of this, Cen Yan rolled up her sleeves without saying a word, fetched a basin of water, and began to sweep inside and out.

It's one thing to tell Qi Jingchuan that she doesn't do housework, but Cen Yan has a slight obsession with cleanliness and can't stand dirt. Qi Jingchuan is often not home, so she lives alone in this house. How lazy can a person be if she doesn't even tidy up her own place?

When Cen Yan finished tidying up the house, it was getting late. She planned to go back to the guesthouse first and then find another place tomorrow to take out the dressing table, chairs and ornaments from the space and have the workers transport them to the family compound to avoid attracting attention.

"That's enough for today!" Cen Yan thought as she left the courtyard. But just as she locked the door and was about to leave, Aunt Tang, who had come over to watch the commotion during the day, called her back.

"Yan'er, is the room all tidied up?"

Cen Yan took the pumpkin seeds handed to her by Aunt Tang and said with a smile, "I didn't tidy up much. I just swept the floor, wiped the tables and chairs, and cleaned the cobwebs inside and outside the house. As you all know, Jingchuan doesn't come back to stay often, so the house is dusty and uninhabitable. I just did a quick cleaning and opened the windows to let out the musty smell. I'll have someone bring the furniture over tomorrow."

"When are you moving in?" Aunt Tang asked curiously.

Cen Yan thought for a moment, "I'll move here after we get our marriage certificate. It'll be soon, in the next few days."

"That's quite fast." Aunt Tang looked at Cen Yan with envy. "You're such a lucky girl to be able to marry Qi Tuan. Ah, if only my daughter had half your good fortune, how wonderful that would be!"

Hearing Aunt Tang's sigh, Cen Yan also smiled, "Aunt Tang, you should say that it is Qi Jingchuan's good fortune to marry me. Look, I took care of this big courtyard all by myself, without asking him to stay and help at all."

"Besides, I'm so beautiful, who wouldn't want to marry me? And your daughter's good fortune is yet to come. There's no need for her to marry a man like Qi Jingchuan, who might not be home for a year or two."
