Chapter 508: Bedbugs and cockroaches, everyone wants to step on them when they see them
What's more, in a financial case like Jiang Shan's, all the money in the family must have been taken away. If he is not willing to give up and uses the money to bribe others, their family's financial situation will be stretched.
Now that Jiang Shujing has come to study at Peking University, her family probably can't even afford the food expenses.
This is why she only bought one dish, and because she was afraid of being embarrassed by others seeing her, she ran out in a hurry and bumped into others.
Since Yang Furong asked, Shang Ruoting didn't intend to hide it and simply told her what she knew.
Yang Furong was obviously a little emotional. "No wonder Jiang Shujing has been so low-key lately, often keeping to herself. She hasn't even been seen with her close classmates."
Speaking of this, Yang Furong actually felt a little gloating.
"Ruoting, do you think I'm a bad person? Why am I so happy to see her get humiliated?"
Shang Ruoting tapped Yang Furong's forehead lightly.
"You think too much. People like that should learn their lesson by suffering."
She knew very well that Yang Furong had just deliberately said that she saw Jiang Shujing bump into someone.
What's the big deal? It's a bedbug or a cockroach. Anyone who sees it wants to step on it.
Yang Furong felt even more proud when she saw that she was recognized by Shang Ruoting.
She held Shang Ruoting's arm affectionately and said, "In life, it is enough to have a close friend."
Shang Ruoting got goosebumps all over her body because of Yang Furong's jealousy.
"You're still proud of yourself."
Although Xu Lijie and others were just watching the show, they also saw the truth of the matter. They also disliked Jiang Shujing, but they did not feel any sympathy for her.
Looking at Shang Ruoting and Yang Furong interacting there, everyone also smiled foolishly.
In the future, Tan Chen will go to the courtyard whenever he has free time. After all, many of the house renovation projects this time are new plans he came up with.
Even though Zhang Wenfu and others had some experience with the plan he designed, he was still worried. He had to watch it on site more often so that he could make temporary adjustments if there were any unreasonable aspects.
Li Xiang did not disappoint Tan Chen in his work.
During the renovation process, if there were any missing materials, he could just go out and purchase them clearly, and the price was even cheaper than what Tan Chen bought.
For this, Tan Chen had to look at him with admiration.
Not only that, Li Xiang has never been absent from work or asked for leave since he came to work in Siheyuan. If people who don’t know his past know him, they will definitely think that he is a down-to-earth and hardworking young man.
This is indeed the case. This is the impression that Li Xiang has left in the minds of Zhang Wenfu and others. He is not only capable and smart, but also has many connections.
By the end of October, after everyone worked tirelessly, the renovation of the courtyard house was almost complete.
At present, only some details remain, and the furniture has been made by two carpenters from Sihe Village.
Today, the courtyard has been completely renovated.
The entire yard was paved with bluestone slabs, and the old tiles on the house were replaced with new ones.
Even the eaves, which were beautifully carved with patterns, were repainted.
The walls were freshly painted and the floors were painted in their original colors, making the house look spacious and bright, and the new furniture was neatly arranged.
What most intrigued everyone was the floor heating installed in the courtyard.
This was the first time everyone had seen this kind of operation. Seeing that the house was almost decorated, Zhang Wenfu said to Tan Chen:
"Tan Chen, how warm is your floor heating? Can you let everyone know?"
Li Xiang also chimed in when he saw this: "Yes, Tan Chen, let's show everyone how warm the floor heating is!"
Even if they didn't say it, Tan Chen had this plan.
Testing whether the floor heating was warm was one thing, but the most important thing was that he wanted to warm up the house which was still a little damp.
"No problem, let's give it a try while it's still early."
When Li Xiang saw that Tan Chen agreed, he immediately ran to the utility room and brought back a bunch of firewood.
"I'll go light the fire, and you all watch."
Soon, the stove fire was lit and the chimney above the roof was surrounded by smoke.
About an hour later, Li Xiang ran out of the east wing excitedly.
"Tan Chen, this is amazing, the ground is really hot."
Zhang Wenfu and his fellow villagers also came out of the house, with smiles on their faces.
"Tan Chen, you're amazing! You actually came up with this idea of floor heating. Not only does the room not have things like kangs and heaters that affect the visual experience, but it's also so warm."
Others also admired Tan Chen's intelligence immensely.
No wonder he was able to get into Peking University.
In fact, before this, Tan Chen was still a little nervous.
After all, the principle of floor heating was only explained to him by his wife, and he designed everything else himself. If it doesn't get warm, wouldn't all the trouble be in vain?
