Looking into Shen Fenghua's bright eyes, Qi Ye felt that if he couldn't handle this matter, he wouldn't be a human being.
"Tell me how you want to clean it up, and leave the rest to me."
"real?"
"Really, why would I lie to you about something like this?"
Shen Fenghua then poured out all the ideas she had prepared beforehand. Qi Ye, who understood some of them, nodded and said, "I understand. Leave the rest to me."
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the pile of scattered wood in the center of the main room and paused, "This is..."
Speaking of Shen Fenghua, he had a lot of complaints. "Don't even mention it, I get annoyed just looking at him now."
After briefly recounting the whole story, Shen Fenghua muttered, "So what if it's broken? We're not short of money for this table anyway, it's just a waste of effort."
Qi Ye laughed, "It's alright, it's just fallen apart, we can put it back together, it's not a big problem."
“No, no,” Shen Fenghua shook her head. “The new house, apart from these existing facilities, will have everything else replaced with new ones, symbolizing the start of our brand new life.”
The new life is still ours.
Ours.
These three words were chewed over and over by Qi Ye, and he understood them perfectly.
"Um!"
But this pile of firewood isn't really a good thing to just leave it here.
"Move the table legs over to cook the pot. The wooden planks are quite sturdy, so let's not move them yet. We can use them to make other things later." Shen Fenghua suggested sawing the tabletop into small pieces to line Dahuang's bed.
"Can."
It wouldn't look good to leave the broken-down items in the main room, so Qi Ye carried the tabletop, intending to move it to a corner and put it aside.
As soon as I started using it, I suddenly realized something was wrong.
This table is surprisingly heavy!
Noticing that Qi Ye's movements slowed slightly, Shen Fenghua was taken aback. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Qi Ye: "!" This is the perfect time to show off his masculine charm. He wished he could be like a peacock spreading its tail feathers. It's just a little heavier than a regular table, it's not like he can't lift it.
"No," Qi Ye said, feigning composure. "I'm just curious because it's the first time I've seen this wood."
Shen Fenghua had only asked casually, and seeing Qi Ye's nonchalant attitude, she didn't take it seriously and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go get the table leg and put it in the kitchen."
"good."
After Qi Ye moved the tabletop away, Shen Fenghua touched the table legs and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"Wait a minute," Qi Ye paused, "What's wrong?"
Something's not right.
The table legs are too heavy. Although Shen Fenghua doesn't do manual labor, she has a rough idea of the weight of these things when she moves tables, chairs and materials around during her publicity work.
Shen Fenghua: "This is too heavy."
In a flash, Shen Fenghua suddenly remembered a story her grandmother had told her. It was about a time of famine when the south suffered a severe drought. A wealthy landowner in the south had a wife who rode a bullock cart northward.
Along the way, she led a group of over a hundred servants and maids, and more than ten carriages. They said they were carrying countless valuables such as gold, silver and jewels. But in the end, some died and others scattered. When they arrived in the north, all that was left by the lady were two loyal ugly maids and a wooden stool.
His wife never asked anyone else to help her; she always carried her on her back.
The stool had been through so much damage that it was completely worn out and unremarkable.
Therefore, besides the master and his two servants, a buttock stool also safely arrived in the north at that time.
Although they arrived, the three frail women, penniless, faced immense difficulties in surviving in a completely unfamiliar place.
In the end, one of the girls took the initiative to marry a local indigenous man, and with the help of the indigenous man's power, she was able to barely gain a foothold in the north.
A year later, the wife brought the ugly girl back and, in front of her, split the stool open, revealing the glittering gold inside.
Then she broke off the wooden hairpin in her hair, revealing a land deed rolled up inside.
The rest of the story is too long ago, and Shen Fenghua was too young to remember it clearly. But she remembers the secret of that stool very clearly, without missing a single detail.
Thinking of this, Shen Fenghua blinked. So, after being unlucky for so long, is she finally about to have a stroke of good luck?
Just thinking about it made Shen Fenghua incredibly excited.
Seeing Shen Fenghua suddenly fall silent, Qi Ye was puzzled. He turned his head to look at Shen Fenghua, who was squatting on the ground. He leaned the table to the side, and in a flash, the tabletop cracked open with lightning speed.
"Ding ding dong~"
Following the sound, the two of them were both dumbfounded.
Gold, gold?
Did gold fall from the sky?
Coming to her senses, Shen Fenghua forcibly suppressed her excitement, her first thought being, "Is the door closed?"
"It's off."
Is it locked?
Qi Ye remained silent, while Shen Fenghua's face lit up with excitement. "Then what are you waiting for? Go lock the door!"
"good!"
The gold was covered in dust, and its bright orange color had become dull. Shen Fenghua, who was always very clean, seemed not to notice. She picked up the gold that had fallen on the ground, her eyes almost squinting with joy.
Honestly, all of this happened way too fast.
She had barely made a guess when the wooden planks burst open, revealing what was inside, saving her the trouble of even thinking about it.
The items had all exploded and were exposed to the public, so there was no point in hiding them anymore.
Shen Fenghua even thought somewhat resignedly that perhaps this was what they called fate.
Those aunties and grandmas loitered around here all afternoon, passing back and forth in the main room several times, but they didn't notice the hidden danger. Just then, Qi Ye returned, and the wooden plank exploded.
Shen Fenghua suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She turned around and saw Qi Ye, who was holding an axe, standing right behind her.
Shen Fenghua: "?"
Shen Fenghua: "!"
Is this an attempt to monopolize it?
Goosebumps instantly erupted all over her body. She jumped up, slapped Qi Ye across the face, and ran away.
A slap landed on his face, leaving Qi Ye stunned.
Seeing Shen Fenghua's fur standing on end, Qi Ye belatedly realized that he had an axe in his hand.
There has been a huge misunderstanding.
Qi Ye: "..."
He threw the axe to the ground with a clatter, shouting, "Feng Hua!"
Shen Fenghua, who was trying to open the door, became even more frantic. In a moment of carelessness, she almost lost her life. You can know a person's face but not their heart!
He actually wanted to take it all for himself.
"Misunderstanding!" Qi Ye almost knelt down when he saw Shen Fenghua trying to climb out of the door after failing to open it. My goodness, just how convoluted and winding is your thought process?
