Chapter 214: The Upgraded Tent Amazes Everyone
"Then come here." Ruan Yuntang waved at him.
The man walked over unconsciously, but when he reached the door of the tent, he suddenly woke up, glanced at the two buckets of water in Zhao Qiang's hands, his eyes moved slightly, and he said unhappily:
"The tent won't be able to hold up. What if these two buckets of water spill on me?"
As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Ruan Yuntang's face.
Zhao Qiang took a step forward unhappily, and said with a warning, "What are you looking at?"
"Why, when I talk to her, if I don't look at her face, do I look at her feet?" The man picked his teeth and curled his lips in disdain.
"you--"
This disgusting look made Zhao Qiang want to punch him, but Ruan Yuntang stopped him with his hand.
"How about this? If water spills on you, we'll give you two new sets of clothes and a hundred dollars."
Hearing this, not only did the man's eyes light up, but even the surrounding villagers were excited.
Just pouring these two buckets of water can earn them a year's income. It's really worth it!
"Comrade Ruan, how about I take over? I'm in good health, I'll do it!"
"Comrade Ruan, I'll do it. I only want 80!"
"No, no, no, it's me instead. I only want sixty!"
…
A group of villagers rushed forward to get up. The man became anxious and strode directly into the tent. "It's me, so it's me. One hundred yuan, no less!"
Ruan Yuntang's lips curved slightly, "Don't worry, I will definitely not give you less of what is yours."
After a pause, she changed the subject, "But what if our tent is waterproof and not a drop leaks onto you?"
The man sneered and looked at her like she was an idiot. "If there really isn't a drop left, then you can do whatever you say!"
Ruan Yuntang's lips curved even deeper. "Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. As long as my tent doesn't leak a drop, I'll leave all the hard work for the villagers to you, including distributing new tents, installing them, and handling any subsequent issues."
"In the meantime, you'll just have to live in the old tents you used to live in."
The man's smile grew wider, his dark face showing a mouthful of white teeth, and the scar across his eyebrow curved.
"Okay!"
He thought it was no big deal, but this one was a sure win for him!
What a bunch of idiots!
Ruan Yuntang pulled the tent curtain and signaled Zhao Qiang to pour water.
Zhao Qiang tightened his grip on the bucket and whispered,
"Sister-in-law, why don't we stop gambling? I'll go find the leader right away!"
"Fall!" Ruan Yuntang looked up at him.
Zhao Qiang took a deep breath. He had no choice but to raise his hand.
At this time, Ruan Yuntang spoke again, "Pour both buckets of water together!"
Zhao Qiang looked at her in shock.
The other villagers also looked at her in surprise at this moment, and at the same time they also thought that the girl had figured it out, so they deliberately poured two buckets of water on Lu Fei to vent their anger.
The man in the tent sneered, but his eyebrows were raised in pleasure.
The more anxious she was, the more it proved that she was furious, and she wanted the money right away.
The big stupid donkeys in the city are still easy to fool!
"Pour." Ruan Yuntang repeated again.
This time, Zhao Qiang saw that his sister-in-law had to fall, so he silently counted the remaining money on him, then waved his arms and poured two buckets of water towards the tent.
Everyone was waiting to hear Lu Fei's scream from inside.
After all, Lu Fei is a second-rate guy in their village. He steals and does nothing serious all day long, but he has a lot of brute force and is so intimidating that no one dares to provoke him.
One second, two seconds, three seconds——
The water flowed along the edge of the tent and sprinkled on the ground, gradually changing from a big flood to small drops, and slowly dripping into the small puddle, but there was no scream from inside.
A group of villagers were extremely surprised. Some of them trembled their tongues and speculated quietly:
"Is Lu Fei going to faint in there?"
"Yeah, there's no movement. Is something wrong?"
Listening to the worried words of a group of people, Ruan Yuntang slowly walked to the door of the tent and unzipped it.
All the villagers followed eagerly and looked through the gap in the door curtain.
Lu Fei was still sitting in the tent with a nonchalant attitude, half leaning against the ground, but his rough facial features were obviously a little dull.
After a while, he raised his eyes and carefully scanned the top of the tent, then reached out and wiped it hard.
Then he looked down at his clean fingers and exclaimed, "Damn, it's really this waterproof?"
Hearing the sound, the villagers behind Ruan Yuntang could no longer hold back. They squeezed into the tent one after another, searching left and right, leaving no place untouched.
In the end, they really found that the tent did not leak at all, and there was even a lot of space inside, which could accommodate two adults and one child, comfortably and safely.
When they came out again, they surrounded Ruan Yuntang with excited faces.
"Comrade Ruan, when will this tent arrive?"
"Comrade Ruan, I'm so sorry for what happened before. We were impatient and misunderstood. I didn't expect you and Captain Jiang were really trying to help us find a solution. I'm so sorry!"
"We've all caught colds from the continuous heavy rain. We can't take it anymore!"
Hearing this, Ruan Yuntang glanced at the people approaching one by one, looked at their thick cotton-padded jackets, and then looked at their faces, some of which were red and some were pale, with deep thought in his eyes.
Then she smiled gently and said:
"It's okay. I understand everyone's feelings. We will distribute our tents to everyone as soon as possible. We will just hand over the entire matter to that comrade. If you have any questions in the future, please contact him directly, and he will report to us."
Hearing the sound, everyone looked in the direction of her finger at the ruffian who was still sitting in the tent, opening their mouths as if wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
"Comrade Ruan, why don't you change someone? Lu Fei is unreliable..."
"Yeah yeah……"
However, just as they opened their mouths, the person in the tent cleared his throat and said in a rough voice:
"Who do you think is unreliable? If I'm unreliable, who else can be?"
"What if I wanted to do this?"
In an instant, everyone fell silent, looked at each other, and dared not say a word.
Ruan Yuntang glanced at the frightened expressions of everyone and became more certain of his thoughts.
She turned to look at the man and said, "I'm willing to accept the bet and lose. I'll leave this matter to you. Come to the village chief's house to find me tomorrow."
After saying that, she took Zhao Qiang and left.
Lu Fei's throat choked.
Why did he take on such a unpaid job for no reason?
…
Ruan Yuntang asked Zhao Qiang about his illness as they walked.
"Are you sure they have a cold? Have you checked?"
Zhao Qiang nodded upon hearing this, but his expression was somewhat hesitant.
"The team leader discussed this with Doctor Qiao, who said it was a cold. But the team leader thought there might be other reasons, so he asked Doctor Qiao to re-examine..."
Ruan Yuntang frowned, "Tell me in detail the specific symptoms of these patients."
"At first I felt cold and my muscles ached all over. Then I developed a high fever. After I started sweating, I felt much better and gradually returned to normal."
Zhao Qiang recalled and sighed, "These symptoms are exactly the same as the common cold, except they are so contagious, doubling in number every day!"
