Chapter 904 Just Kill Him
Da Ya panicked and ran past him into the kitchen.
Meng Yunzheng raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhao Xi, who came out next, with a somewhat subtle expression.
Was he rejected? Otherwise, why would he look so dejected?
While the Lu family was having dinner, Meng Yunzheng lags behind and walks two steps to Zhao Xi's side, asking in a low voice, "Have you finally broken the ice?"
"Um."
"Judging from your appearance, it seems the outcome wasn't very successful."
Zhao Xi looked pitiful. "It was so sudden. When I heard that Miss Wei was going to introduce her to her brother, I couldn't help myself and lost my composure. I was forced into this situation without any preparation, and I just blurted out what I was saying. Now that I think about it, I don't even know what I was saying."
Meng Yunzheng looked at him with sympathy, "Fortunately, Ayu and I are both smart people, and we understood our own feelings a long time ago."
Zhao Xi said fiercely, "What are you so smug about? Da Ya didn't tell me to get lost. She even promised to go back and think it over. I think my chances are still very high. We'll definitely get married before you two."
Meng Yunzheng, “…” I might as well kill him.
He gave a cold laugh, turned around, and went inside.
The dinner table was bustling with activity, but none of the people who knew about it mentioned it, acting as if they knew nothing about it.
However, Da Ya was a little absent-minded and didn't dare to look at Zhao Xi. Even when picking up food, she only picked up what was in front of her.
Shu Yu felt that her current state would likely attract the attention of her father and grandmother soon, and if they found out, she would probably have to crawl under the table.
As an understanding younger sister, Shu Yu immediately brought up the matter of the mansion's renovation, "Dad, did you go to see Engineer Zheng today? What did he say?"
Lu Erbai had just looked at Daya and felt that she was acting strangely when he heard Shu Yu's words. He immediately turned his gaze back and said, "Father talked to him, and he happened to be free of work, so he agreed. Tomorrow I will take him to the mansion to take a look. Once the blueprints are drawn up and the bricks, tiles, and timber are ready, we can start construction."
"How do you explain the hiring of laborers?"
Lu Erbai had also thought about this problem. "I originally thought of going to Shangshi Village to look for them, but it's the busy season for farming, and farmers are all busy. Even if I look, I won't be able to find many. I still have to look in the county town."
There are indeed short-term workers in the county town, but experienced workers already have their own craftsmen with them, so they can't abandon their original craftsmen to follow them.
As for those casual laborers, they are a mixed bag, and not only are their character unclear, but they can also easily cause conflicts.
This is Ayu's house, and it's so big. Lu Erbai definitely doesn't want anything to go wrong. He hopes everything will go smoothly so they can move in as soon as possible.
This is also why he wanted to find people in Shangshi Village. He knew everyone in the village well, who was hardworking, who had special skills, and who had conflicts with whom.
But the timing wasn't right.
Zheng, the craftsman, only had two or three capable workers. He had thought about building a team before, but due to the previous incident, he had been unable to get many jobs, and the quantity and duration of those jobs were short.
At most, other foremen would ask him for help when they were short-handed.
When Ayu hired him for shop repairs last time, many people saw it, which brought Zheng a lot of business.
However, such business is not common. But if the mansion of the village lord is repaired this time, such orders will surely come in the future.
