"Ms. Cheng's parents are going too far. Are they marrying off their daughter or selling her?"

"Can money be more important than my daughter's happiness?"

"If my parents were still alive, they would never treat me like this!"

Tan Zhilin was filled with righteous indignation, and as he spoke, he slapped the door hard.

"Hiss~" He successfully slapped himself and hurt himself.

His eyes were filled with tears again, and he held his hands and blew hard.

Ah Ku leaned against the door, watching him do something stupid, and rolled his eyes speechlessly to the sky.

How come I end up with such an idiot around me?

Jiang Tiantian propped up her chin, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and she sighed and said, "Maybe not every parent truly loves their children, right?"

In this world, there are too many things that can override family ties.

Fame, wealth, power, status...

Especially for a prominent family like Cheng Yining's that has fallen into decline, the unwillingness in their bones will make restoring the family's glory their top priority.

Judging from Cheng Yining's upbringing and temperament, he must have been carefully nurtured when he was a child, which means that his life must have been pretty good back then.

It’s just… I don’t know why, but now I have fallen to the point where I have to sell my ancestral property.

At the front door.

The three door gods with different shapes made Shen Xiaoqiang, who was walking from afar, laugh out loud.

"Hahaha……"

"Sister-in-law? What are you doing?"

"Are you basking in the sun here?"

Jiang Tiantian followed the sound, quickly stood up from the ground, patted the dust off her butt, and said awkwardly: "Brother Qiang, you're here?"

Shen Xiaoqiang didn't care about the details and thought that people just liked to sit at the door and chat.

He also sat down on the stone steps at the door, "Sister-in-law, you're welcome."

"Don't mention it. It's quite cool sitting here. The breeze is blowing through the hall..."

He took out the black leather bag from under his armpit, took out a few pieces of paper from it and handed them to Jiang Tiantian.

"Sister-in-law, this is the budget I made, would you like to take a look?"

“Haha…Okay!”

What could Jiang Tiantian say? She could only continue to sit at the door and look through the budget sheet.

After reading it, Jiang Tiantian did some calculations in her mind and felt that something was wrong, so she opened it and read it again.

"Hey, Brother Qiang, why is the budget so much less than I expected?"

Shen Xiaoqiang waved his hands generously, pointed at the roof, the courtyard wall, and the ground, and said:

"See, I didn't charge you for the bricks and tiles in these places in your yard that need repairs."

"I demolished an old house and got a lot of old bricks and bluestone slabs. Don't you want to keep the quaint traditional flavor of this yard? Using those is perfect!"

Jiang Tiantian quickly waved her hands, "Brother Qiang, how can this be possible?"

After a pause, she continued, "Then let's say I bought it from you, is that okay?"

Shen Xiaoqiang frowned, "Sister-in-law, why are you so polite to me?"

"I stole those things from other people, and I didn't ask for money. Besides, given my relationship with Jiu Zhang, there's really no need to calculate so clearly."

"Jiu Zhang, that kid, has helped me a lot for free in the past. If you really want to count it this way, then it's not clear."

Since the other party said so, Jiang Tiantian couldn't refute it.

I thought to myself that I would go back and find some money for them from other places.

So, he smiled generously and thanked Shen Xiaoqiang, "Then I would like to thank Brother Qiang first."

"That's right." Shen Xiaoqiang said happily.

"Okay, that's what I'm here for. If you can handle it, I'll go back and start preparing. I'll bring people over to start work tomorrow."

After Shen Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he stood up and rubbed Tan Zhilin's head. "Xiao Lin, what's wrong with you? I just realized that you've been crying."

"Who bullied you? Even if you were bullied, a man should shed blood and sweat but not tears. How can you be so weak in mental endurance? This is not good."

"Starting tomorrow, follow my men and train together!"

After hearing this, Tan Zhilin immediately jumped up from the ground like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Qiang...Brother Qiang, I seem to hear someone calling me inside..."

As he said that, he was about to slip into the door.

Shen Xiaoqiang stretched out his strong hand and pulled him back.

"If you don't think positively, there's something wrong with your brain. I think you just think too much all day long and lack exercise."

Shen Xiaoqiang turned and looked at Jiang Tiantian, "Sister-in-law, starting from tomorrow, I will assign him to my team and let him work together. Is that okay?"

Jiang Tiantian looked at Tan Zhilin, who was about to cry but had no tears. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she said subconsciously: "... No problem, Brother Qiang, you can abuse me, oh, no, you can teach me..."

"I also think this kid is a little too weak..."

"Jiang Tiantian..." Tan Zhilin spoke silently with gritted teeth.

Jiang Tiantian turned her head away and cruelly pretended not to see it.

A Ku was also tactful and quickly turned his head away.

"Haha...Okay! Now that you say that, I know what's going on!"

"Don't worry, when your yard is renovated, I promise to give you a capable subordinate."

Shen Xiaoqiang's big hands, like a palm-leaf fan, slapped Tan Zhilin's skinny body.

"Ahem... help..."

Tan Zhilin was like a kitten, unable to move at all in Shen Xiaoqiang's hands.

"Tsk tsk~ Too weak, it falls down with a single gust of wind..."

Shen Xiaoqiang pouted in dissatisfaction and took him aside.

"By the way, has the landlord of the yard you want to rent come today?"

"Here they come. Look, they are talking inside." Jiang Tiantian pointed in the direction of the main hall.

"Oh, just come."

Shen Xiaoqiang nodded, without thinking too much about why the landlord came, and the three people in charge were sitting outside?

"Then I'll be leaving first, sister-in-law, see you later!"

"Hey, Brother Qiang, take care!"

After watching Shen Xiaoqiang walk away, Jiang Tiantian turned around and looked towards the main hall.

I don’t know how long those two people will stop complaining.

She sighed, turned to Tan Zhilin and A Ku and said, "A Ku, you and Xiao Linzi go to the nearby area and see where there are furniture stores. We need to buy some beds and cabinets there."

"No need, just buy some bedding and I can sleep on the floor." A Ku said indifferently.

"No, I won't sleep on the floor. It's so hard."

Tan Zhilin, who had been delicate and fragile since childhood, was not happy with this and started jumping up and down on the spot.

"It's not like we can't afford a bed, so why sleep on the floor?" Jiang Tiantian also disagreed.

The child A Ku, as his name suggests, has never been loved by anyone since he was young, and he has developed a personality that allows for anything.

This is not good. I should give him more care and love in the future!

Jiang Tiantian looked at Ah Ku and said earnestly, "I'm telling you, don't think you're young now and ruin yourself. When you're old, you'll regret it."

"Shh~"

Ah Ku sneered indifferently, "Jiang Tiantian, do you need me to remind you? I'm older than you. Who are you preaching to?"

Are you the boss or the nanny?
