Chu Miaohong, who had just finished her homework, stretched her graceful waist and pinched her sister-in-law's cheek with a smile.
She asked, suppressing her laughter.
"What information did you extract from Xiao Shang? Tell me first."
"He said my brother gave him 10,000 yuan."
Zhang Yumin gestured with a finger.
"First, have him take out five hundred yuan and find a street vendor to build more than forty stone piers on the vacant land on the east side."
"I'm also going to pay two thousand yuan to have someone build a big thatched hut on top of the stone pillar."
"They said they saw that the people who usually come to sell vegetables are working too hard, so they wanted to provide them with a better environment to sell their vegetables."
“This is indeed a good thing.”
Chu Miaohong did not answer, but just asked her with a smile.
"Well, what else?"
Zhang Yumin put away the second finger.
"He asked Xiaoshang to donate another 1,000 yuan to the district government, and he also used his connections to have the road on the northeast side re-leveled, mainly to fill in the dozen or so potholes."
"Haha, continue."
"Anyway, I think they're all doing good things. Xiao Shang is about to go to the department responsible for the sewers and ask a friend to give priority to repairing our area of the sewer."
"He's also going to donate one thousand here."
"Then there's the telephone company. I heard they've almost established connections, so they'll prioritize our area for telephone cable repairs. And there's another $1,000 construction subsidy."
Zhang Yumin finally retracted her fifth finger.
"He even asked someone to find the wire factory and was prepared to donate 5,000 yuan."
"We've finally gotten them to agree to build the new campus for the nearby primary school, something they've been arguing about for years. The wire factory's staff school was already earmarked for the new building. If it weren't for Xiaoshang's massive investment, who knows how long it would have taken."
"Sister-in-law, you don't know, thanks to my brother's money and ideas, now the people in the district and the street are so enthusiastic when they see Xiaoshang."
Hearing this, Chu Miaohong couldn't help but giggle.
"You, in your eyes, everything about your brother is good."
"If I hadn't asked him about his true intentions, I would have been just like you, a fool, being kept in the dark by him and thinking he was a good person, haha."
Zhang Yumin was stunned. Isn't this considered a good deed? Ten thousand yuan was given away!
Chu Miaohong bit her lip and told the truth bit by bit.
"If we can get all 205 households in Prince Gong's Mansion to move out voluntarily, do you think 10,000 yuan is too much?"
"Of course it's not much. How can something be so cheap?"
"Xiao Min, if you were a resident here and suddenly one day found that all the vegetable vendors around you had to go to a fixed place three or four miles away to sell their vegetables, would you still think it was convenient?"
"That's a bit too far, isn't it?"
"What if someone fills all the potholes on the main road to the northeast? Do you think the temporary buses that pass by the two stops near us will still go our way?"
"The bus company isn't stupid. They'll definitely take the main road over there. Well, then everyone in our compound will have to walk almost two more miles to catch the bus!"
"Cleaning the sewers is a good thing, but what if they do it in the early summer?"
Zhang Yumin seemed to understand something.
"According to the wind direction, most of Prince Gong's Mansion would have been smelly at that time, and the stink would have lasted for at least a month."
"Haha, your brother never cheats people outright. How can a month be enough? Prioritizing the telephone cables is a good thing, but they arranged for you to do it after the sewer project was completed, and then they dug up the road for you..."
"For at least three months, not only will there be a foul smell and difficult roads, but water and power outages due to construction will also be quite frequent."
"That's too immoral."
Chu Miaohong hugged Zhang Xiaomei.
"Also, the wire factory has officially allocated the school building to our nearby primary school. Haven't you noticed that the children in our yard can't walk to primary school?"
Zhang Yumin suddenly understood.
"That requires taking the bus, which is three stops away, and you have to go around a detour!"
Chu Miaohong poked his cheek with her finger and asked with a smile.
"If someone were to offer to buy Prince Gong's Mansion internally, everyone would have to take a small loss and move out to find a place to live..."
"Although the vacant elementary school building is not as good as ours, it is at least closer to the new vegetable market and bus stop, so it's more convenient for children to go to school here."
It’s dark, so dark!
I'm afraid that when everyone moves away, they will still remember the kindness of their brother's family.
Could this be something his brother, a hipster and love-obsessed loser, would do?
Although her brother has made a lot of progress in the past two years, he has always been a bright and upright figure in Zhang Yumin's heart.
But with a few words from her sister-in-law Xiaoxiao, the upright image of her brother in her mind collapsed instantly.
No wonder my brother said that he would not let Xiaoshang and I enter the system after graduation...
Zhang Hongcheng felt that his sister was a little strange.
He walked in carrying an old hen and was glared at by his sister who had just left.
Is this girl crazy?
Problem!
"Wife, look at the old hen I bought?"
"You take a rest first. I'll go find Master Chen from the East Courtyard. He's an expert at killing chickens!"
Chu Miaohong looked at him with a smile.
"The chicken is good, of course, but I'm more concerned about how you're preparing for the follow-up matters at Prince Gong's Mansion."
"Have you really stopped using those detrimental tactics?"
Zhang Hongcheng patted his chest nonchalantly.
"Don't worry, it's just a matter of making more money."
