"What?" Jiang Hai was stunned.
Ye Beiping put his hand on Jiang Hai's shoulder and said softly, "Brother Jiang Hai, let's make a bet. He will agree to my request, and I will make him offer a much lower price than other places."
This made Jiang Hai look at Ye Beiping's profile with some confusion, his brows furrowed.
I really don't know where Ye Beiping got his confidence from.
We've already made it so clear, but they still won't budge. Isn't saying they're considering it a polite way of refusing?
Having made up his mind, Jiang Hai gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll take this bet with you. I bet he won't agree, let alone give you a cheap price."
"good."
Ye Beiping smiled as if his wicked scheme had succeeded. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then our bet is that you wash my clothes for two months."
Since Tao Qiuyan returned to Hangzhou, Ye Beiping's clothes needed changing, but no one was willing to help wash them.
This is like free labor arriving.
Although it was already the tenth day of the first lunar month, Ye Beiping still didn't dare to touch the icy water.
Jiang Hai suddenly felt like he'd been tricked, but... a man's word is his bond, and since he'd agreed to the bet, what did this wager matter?
"No problem, two months' worth of clothes. If you lose, you'll have to wash two months' worth of clothes for me, and don't try to find excuses then."
His defiant tone made Ye Beiping suddenly burst out laughing.
The two walked out of Jiangshan Brewery with their arms around each other's shoulders, briefly exchanging greetings with Wu Gensheng along the way.
...
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
For three days, Jiang Hai did nothing but cook with a group of older women and go to the construction site every morning to check on things.
They were only satisfied when they discovered that dozens of people had already dug a large pit in an acre of land.
Just as he was heading back, he ran into Ye Beiping, who had also gotten up, and he immediately remembered the bet they made three days ago.
"Beiping, it's been four days now. Are you going to admit defeat on the bet we made?" Jiang Hai, who was worried for the first two days, gradually calmed down as the days went by. Now, he believed that victory was in his grasp.
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to bring up this topic casually.
Ye Beiping yawned, picked up a washbasin, and prepared to wash up. Without turning his head, he said, "What's the rush? We didn't agree on a time limit when we made the bet. Today, I'll make another bet with you. If Director Jin doesn't come in three days, I'll not only wash your clothes for two months, but also your socks for two months."
"This..." Jiang Hai was stunned. Doesn't washing clothes include washing socks?
Since Ye Beiping had said so, Jiang Hai had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
He had originally assumed that clothes would definitely include socks, and even...
"become."
Ye Beiping was brushing his teeth at that moment. When he heard Jiang Hai agree, he smiled, his mouth still full of foam.
Just then, Wu Guangfa came running over, panting heavily.
Seeing this, Ye Beiping could only wipe the foam from his mouth, his words barely audible with a toothbrush in his mouth: "Uncle Wu, why are you in such a hurry? Is something wrong?"
Seeing that the other person was still brushing his teeth, Wu Guangfa was not in a hurry. He first caught his breath before saying, "Beiping, is your foundation almost done? Wu Di said you have brought the blueprints. When can we start building the house? I heard that the house is really beautiful."
Wu Di had been talking about this for three days, which made Wu Guangfa very curious.
As an elder, he couldn't keep coming to Ye Beiping's place every day, so after waiting for three days and finding that Ye Beiping had obtained the blueprints but hadn't come to discuss them with him, the village chief, he got anxious and came over today.
You know, in the past, when villagers built houses, they would all come to ask for advice.
Now that he's met Ye Beiping, things have completely changed.
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping smiled and said to Jiang Hai, "Brother Jiang Hai, take out that blueprint and show it to Uncle Wu. Also, ask him to help find someone."
"Okay." Jiang Hai agreed and ran back into the house to find the blueprints.
Upon hearing this, Wu Guangfa rubbed his hands together, intending to take a good look at the house his son had been talking about for three days.
They even said they wanted to build one together.
Wu Guangfa went berserk at that time, and started building whatever he could find. Ye Beiping was already quite remarkable for his young age to know how to do business, but building houses definitely required experienced craftsmen.
When Wu Di said that the drawings were drawn by someone from Hangzhou, Wu Guangfa fell into deep thought.
Ultimately, I want to see this beautiful house.
A short while later, Jiang Hai came out carrying a bunch of wads of paper.
After these three days of looking at it from each other, the paper ended up like this. We're all country folk, we didn't really think about protecting it, since the blueprints were useless after we finished using them anyway.
I never expected that in just three days, it would be impossible to roll it up again; it was covered in wrinkles.
When Wu Guangfa saw these drawings, his brows furrowed: "You... these are the drawings for that damn thing?"
“Yes.” Ye Beiping nodded slightly, tossed the empty washbasin aside, and took the blueprints from Jiang Hai and unfolded them.
He noticed the paper was a bit wrinkled, and his brows furrowed as well. He simply put it on the ground, wiped it a couple of times, and finally managed to smooth it out a little.
"Uncle Wu, look, this is the house I'm going to build."
hiss!
Wu Guangfa gasped as soon as he saw the blueprints.
This isn't a house.
Is it a place where people live?
Are all houses in Hangzhou like this?
It's so beautiful.
Three questions popped into his mind, instantly shocking Wu Guangfa.
