"Okay, I'll give you large pieces of mahogany when the time comes." Master Zhang responded to Lin Tian while calculating with a pen and paper in his hand.
"I've calculated it for you. The total cost including labor and materials is three hundred and fifty yuan." After a while, the other party handed the price list to Lin Tian.
Then he continued, "Boss, you need to pay half of the deposit first, and you can pay the remaining half after it is done."
Lin Tian took out some money from his pocket, counted out 175 yuan and handed it to Master Zhang, "Please count it!"
After counting, Master Zhang put the money in his pocket. At this time, Master Jin also assigned work to his subordinates and came out of the house.
Then he asked, "Have you discussed everything?"
"Everything has been discussed. I'll trouble you and Master Zhang to serve you from now on." Lin Tian said politely.
At this time, everyone in the yard got up. Seeing the bustling backyard, many people came over and asked what was going on.
"My dear friends, my family has recently arranged to help me renovate the house here. We have already found a construction team. I hope you can forgive me if there is any disturbance in the future," Lin Tian said loudly while bowing to the outside.
When everyone saw that it was just renovation work, they all dispersed, but a few people stayed. The leader was Yan Fugui and his eldest son Yan Jiecheng, followed by Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu.
"Xiao Lin, do you no longer want these old tables, chairs and benches that you cleaned out of your room?" Yan Fugui said to his son.
However, Lin Tian had never thought about what to do with these old tables, chairs and benches. If he sold them, they would be worthless, and if he threw them away, he would be called a spendthrift.
While the two were talking, Jia Zhang and her son each picked up a bench and walked home, saying as they walked, "If you don't want them anymore, just give them to me."
Lin Tian was stunned at that time. There really were people who were so shameless. It was understandable that Yan Fugui came up to ask for it, but it was too much for the Jia family mother and son to just move away.
"Put it down!" Lin Tian almost laughed himself out of anger, and then he said loudly, "Did I say no?"
Jia Zhang stopped and said confidently, "If you move out, I will think you don't want it anymore. If you don't want it anymore, just give me some household expenses. Don't be stingy."
Lin Tian was also a little angry. He had never seen such a shameless person. "I said, put it down!"
At this time, Yi Zhonghai appeared out of nowhere and said, "Xiao Lin, how can you talk to your elders like that? Is it necessary to just use your two stools?"
Lin Tian didn't look at Yi Zhonghai straight in the eye. "I'm not such a shameless elder. Did I say I don't want it? Otherwise, Uncle Bu Yi can just buy it and give it to the Jia family, right?"
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned green. "How...how can you talk like that?"
"How can I say anything? He's just a neighbor. Why are you acting so senior to me? Why don't you give all your pots and pans to the Jia family?" Hearing the quarrel in the backyard, everyone who had originally dispersed hid outside to watch the fun. Lin Tian also discovered that everyone in this yard loved to watch the fun.
"Who approved this renovation? Is it safe to bring so many strangers into the compound?" Yi Zhonghai put on his airs as a superior again and didn't mention what happened just now.
Before Lin Tian could confront Yi Zhonghai, Secretary Wu came over and explained loudly to the people around him, "Let me tell you, Xiaolin's house has been converted into a private property, so the renovation does not require anyone's consent. Xiaolin has also reported it to the street office and me."
Yi Zhonghai's face turned green after hearing this. You didn't come out earlier or later, you were just waiting to slap me in the face. He shouted at Jia Dongxu in a low voice, "Dongxu, go, take your mother home!"
Seeing that there was no excitement, everyone left. Only Yan Fugui and his son had not left yet. He was still thinking about the tables, chairs and benches here.
"Uncle Third, it's not a problem for me to give you these tables, chairs, and benches. I was planning to chop them up and use them as firewood. How about this, I'll give them all to you, but you have to bring me five bundles of firewood."
Yan Fugui agreed immediately. It's okay to use old tables, chairs and benches, but it costs money to buy new ones. It's just a few bundles of firewood, so let the eldest son go out and get some when he's free, and then pull Yan Jiecheng up and start moving them home.
After handing over the decoration work to the two master craftsmen, Lin Tian pushed the cart out to go to work. When he reached the middle courtyard, he heard Mrs. Jia muttering and cursing.
Lin Tian did not tolerate it at all and said loudly, "If anyone dares to say bad things about me behind my back, don't blame me for reporting him to the street office." Lin Tian guessed that Jia Zhang was most afraid of going to the street office to study, so he deliberately brought this matter up to refute her.
Although this incident completely offended the Yanglao Gang, Lin Tian didn't care. This group of people were actually bullies. With Yi Zhonghai leading the way, how could they become powerful? It was just like in the countryside, whoever didn't have a son would be bullied. I've never seen a family with no son dare to bully others.
