Chapter 212 Mountain City Construction Team
"This... Sister Qing, is this really my home?"
Not to mention Qin Qing, even Bai Fanmi was stunned. He walked back and forth, swaying again and again, and refused to enter the house.
Qin Qing looked at the wooden door at the entrance. It had been painted red and two stone lions were placed in front of it, giving it the air of a large mansion. As she walked in, she saw a small bridge and flowing water in front of the courtyard, with koi swimming in the pond.
There are three rooms in the whole yard, all of which have been renovated now, with red windows and white walls, giving off an ancient charm.
The lobby door was a folding wooden door. Pushing it open, one could see the spacious room, square and bright. Qin Qing walked around the courtyard. Although it was still in its infancy, it was basically recognizable as the design she had drawn.
It is almost completely refurbished according to the original appearance.
The more Qin Qing looked at it, the more incredible it became. According to her estimate, it would take at least a month to complete the project. After all, there were only three people in Tang Tianqiao, and they could only do so much work, so the construction period would naturally be extended.
Now, in just over half a month, she has completed this step. After taking a look, she is sure that she only needs to install the lights before she can officially open for business.
"Where is my second uncle?"
Bai Mifan also looked around inside and out. He couldn't believe that such a beautiful courtyard was actually his home! He really made the Bai family proud! He also searched around, wanting to thank Tang Tianqiao, but after searching for a long time, there was no one in the courtyard.
"White Rice, have you ever given money to my second uncle?"
In the past half month, only Bai Fanzi has returned to the mountain city, and Qin Qing has never come to visit.
She calculated that to reach this stage of the project, at least another three thousand yuan in funding would be needed, but Tang Tianqiao never mentioned it or asked her for it. She could only suspect that Bai Fandi had secretly given her the money.
"No, Sister Qing, didn't you pay for this?"
Bai Fanmi thought the money was given to Tang Tianqiao by Qin Qing.
"I didn't give it to you either."
Both of them were stunned for a moment. The decoration cost a lot. Before, the two of them had only paid Tang Tianqiao two thousand yuan in total. They had planned to pay it back in half a month, but now the work was almost done and they still hadn't received the money.
But the problem is...
Where did Tang Tianqiao get so much money?
Qin Qing was also dumbfounded. Her second uncle only had 800 yuan from Yangcheng, which was not enough no matter how she calculated it. Just when Qin Qing wanted to find Tang Tianqiao to ask for clarification, a group of people in gray clothes came in, carrying sacks. One after another, Qin Qing roughly counted them and found that there were twelve of them!
"What are you doing?" Qin Qing asked vigilantly. Lei Zi stood in front of Qin Qing calmly, staring at the people in front of him warily.
"We're here to work!"
The leading man said with a gloomy face.
Qin Qing frowned. Where did they find so many people to do the work?
"Did you come to the wrong place?"
Just as Qin Qing was about to ask again, Bai Mifan pulled the leading man with some suspicion and asked in disbelief.
"You are... He Hong?"
He Hong wiped his face and glanced at the white rice with annoyance, "What? Why are you calling me grandpa!"
"Brother He? Is it really you? You...how did you end up like this? Ugh, why are you working here?"
Bai Mifan couldn't hide the shock on his face. This man was clearly He Hong, Brother Ke's subordinate. It seemed that the dozen or so people were also his subordinates, but why were they working here?
"What? Not welcome? Then let's go!"
He Hong turned around and left. Just as he reached the door, he bumped into Tang Tianqiao who was walking in with a sack on his back. He was followed by bamboo poles and potatoes. When Tang Tianqiao saw He Hong was about to leave, he immediately grabbed him.
"Xiao He, where are you going?"
He Hong glared at Bai Fan Mi and said, "Why should I stay here if the host doesn't welcome me? Brother Qiao, your work here is almost done. It's time for us brothers to leave."
"How can that be? I have to paint the wall again today, you guys have to help me!"
Qin Qing stood aside, listening to the conversation between He Hong and Tang Tianqiao, and she seemed to understand a little.
Why was Tang Tianqiao able to complete the project so quickly? It turns out he had helpers behind him!
But He Hong is Ke Jianbin's man. How could these thugs listen to Tang Tianqiao and actually help him with his work?
"Hey, Brother Qiao, since you said that, we brothers will give you a hand!"
He Hong waved his hand and immediately told everyone to start working. Tang Tianqiao also smiled, and when he looked up, he found Qin Qing and Bai Mifan standing in the room. He greeted them with a flattering look on his face.
"Why are you back?! Qin Qing, take a look, are you satisfied with the renovation of this house?"
This was not what Qin Qing wanted to ask now. She quickly pulled Tang Tianqiao aside, looked at He Hong and others who were already doing their work obediently, and asked in a low voice.
"Uncle, what's going on? Why are they helping you with your work? Did you pay them?"
"No! I didn't pay them. Also, during this period, the construction deadline was very tight, and I didn't have enough money on hand. It was their boss, Brother Ke, who borrowed money to help me pay for it."
Tang Tianqiao said this honestly. When he said this, Bai Mifen opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Are they really so kind?
"Second uncle, you know them."
Qin Qing also found it strange. After she asked, Tang Tianqiao told her the whole story.
After Qin Qing left, Tang Tianqiao had been renovating the Bai family's house, hammering and banging away. He Hong then brought his men in to cause trouble. They thought Tang Tianqiao was Bai Mifan's enemy and wanted to cause trouble for the Bai family. However, upon learning that it was just renovation work, the group said they were fine and wanted to leave.
Before leaving, He Hongduo asked, "Does the boss know about the renovation of this house?"
Tang Tianqiao had no idea who the boss he was talking about was. He thought about it and realized that the only person who could ask him to do something was Qin Qing. He nodded and said.
"Yes, that was her idea."
He Hong and the others seemed to change their expressions again and again, and asked tentatively.
"Do you need our help?"
In reality, He Hong was just asking out of courtesy, but Tang Tianqiao took it seriously. "If you guys help, I think the boss will be very satisfied!"
As soon as these words were spoken, He Hong brought a dozen people with him and became Tang Tianqiao's subordinates, doing hard labor with him every day.
Some were painting the walls, some were laying tiles, and some were doing carpentry. It only took about ten days to decorate the house into what it looks like now.
"Qin Qing, you don't know, these guys may look like scoundrels, but unexpectedly, they actually have some real skills!"
