After all, if he worked at home, he could do the easier work and find an excuse not to go. Therefore, although he was a little reluctant to give up the 'potentially available' meals, Yun Wansheng still said, "I'll work at home, let my brother do the house repairs."
Yun Dazheng nodded and said, "Since you're unwilling to help this old man, then it's settled. However, I must remind you that you'll be doing chores at home, and your brother will help me. You should put in some effort when you're doing chores at home, instead of always pretending to be sickly and weak. Be careful that people don't believe it, or you won't be able to find a wife."
Yun Dazheng's words displeased Yun Wansheng, who retorted, "Who's pretending to be sick? I really am in poor health! It's my fault for not giving birth at full term. It's not my fault."
As for his wife... well, at worst, in two years he'll stop faking his illness and let people know he's "well-off," then things will be much easier, right?
Besides, it's all because you're such a stingy old man. If you were willing to squeeze even a little bit out of me, wouldn't I be able to get a wife?
Thinking about it this way, Yun Wansheng felt that he should help the old man repair the house. Maybe that would make the old man have a better impression of him? However... Yun Fusheng was so obedient, helping them fetch water and do heavy work every now and then. He did so much, but apart from letting him eat a few meals, the old man didn't seem to give him anything else.
Thinking about it this way, Yun Wansheng felt that the old man's stinginess was ingrained in his bones, and there was no point in trying to please him. He might as well save his energy.
So when Yun Dazheng asked him if he was really sure he wouldn't change his mind, Yun Wansheng gave a positive answer.
Upon receiving Yun Wansheng's affirmative answer, Yun Dazheng breathed a slight sigh of relief, but did not show it on his face. He simply said, "That's settled then. Once the date for demolishing the house is set, I'll come and call Fusheng. If you assign Fusheng any other work then, don't blame this old man for scolding me."
After Yun Youtian and his wife reluctantly agreed, Yun Dazheng put his hands behind his back and went home.
Yun Duo was already home. As soon as she saw Yun Dazheng return, she said, "Grandpa, Uncle Wu agreed to help. He said that once our date is set, he will invite the construction team he knows to come over. With a professional construction team, the house will be repaired very quickly."
Yun Dazheng nodded and said calmly, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Brother Wu."
Upon hearing this, Yun Duo realized that Yun Dazheng wasn't very interested.
She was perfectly fine when she went out, so why did she lose interest after visiting her 'uncle's'?
Are they making me angry again?
Thinking it over, Yun Duo advised, "Grandpa, is it that they won't let Brother Fusheng come to help? Actually, it doesn't matter if they don't let Brother Fusheng come to help, since it's all handed over to the construction team anyway."
"Uncle Wu said that they are professionals. In the city, the people who repair houses for those bosses are all honest craftsmen. They won't cut corners or use inferior materials. As long as we pay enough, we don't have to worry about anything. They will take care of everything perfectly."
"Moreover, Uncle Wu also said that they can help us out and keep an eye on things to ensure there are no quality problems and that the progress will not be delayed."
"Once the old house is demolished, we can move into the new one in less than a month. This is only because the transportation here is inconvenient, and the stones can only be quarried in our vicinity; otherwise, it would be even faster."
