However, Zhang's mother turned a blind eye to the scene and looked at Zhang Youhua, "Second brother, you speak first."
"I don't agree!" Zhang Youhua said, glancing at the third and fourth brothers.
The third and fourth brothers were both trembling and refused to say a word no matter how they were asked.
"Just talk to each other, say whatever you think, it doesn't matter," said Zhang Youcai.
He didn't notice anything unusual about the third and fourth brothers, and just thought that his two younger siblings were timid and cowardly.
Tian Chengcheng saw it very clearly.
It turned out that not only Zhang Youcai disagreed, but Zhang's mother also disagreed. After all, it was a matter of interest, and she was careless!
But she just watched them silently, quietly waiting for the result. She even thought about Wang Xiaohong. Would she also not want to spend more money? Would she one day be scheming for the same benefit?
She quickly rejected her idea.
No matter when, she always believes that there are still many kind people in this world!
She also didn't want to see into other people's hearts.
I just want to work hard on my own things, lend a hand to others as much as possible, be kind, and leave the rest to fate!
Besides, she is a lucky character, and losing her is their loss.
Tian Chengcheng was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Zhang Youcai raise his voice, "Why don't you two talk? Are you mute if you keep your heads down?"
After being yelled at by him, the third and fourth brothers became even more frightened, but the two of them still did not dare to raise their hands.
"Not raising your hand means you oppose it," said Zhang Youhua.
"Shut up!" Zhang Youcai yelled immediately.
He never expected that his second brother would drag his feet on this matter. Fubao rented their house out of pity for their family and even made concessions by paying the rent for the next two or three years in advance. It was obvious that he was helping them, but his second brother not only did not appreciate it, but also did something that made him feel upset.
It makes me angry just thinking about it!
Zhang Youcai has a good temper and almost never loses his temper, but this time he was really angry.
Zhang's mother took one look and quickly gave her second son a look, "Youhua, just listen to your eldest brother."
"No, we agreed on a show of hands vote and it's a show of hands vote." Zhang Youhua lowered his head but refused to give in.
Zhang Youcai snorted in anger and looked at the third and fourth brothers, "You two, express your opinions quickly."
The two men lowered their heads even lower. After a few seconds, the fourth one raised his hand first, "I, I agree."
The situation was reversed in an instant.
Zhang Youhua glared at the fourth brother fiercely, stood up and ran out, "You can do whatever you want to me."
Zhang's mother wanted to call him back, but Zhang Youcai stopped her, "Mom, don't bother with him. Youhua has such a bad temper and doesn't know how to be grateful at all. I'll have to teach him a lesson tonight."
The so-called education is actually beating!
Nowadays, if a child is disobedient, a slap in the face can cure all the problems without any hesitation.
If the child is not convinced, just slap him twice. If the child has thick skin, use a broom or a feather duster. In short, parents are used to using whatever tools to beat the child afterwards.
Mother Zhang didn't say anything else. Instead, she looked at Tian Chengcheng and the others and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. It's all my fault for not educating my child well. Fubao, don't take it to heart. Just do what needs to be done."
Zhang's mother kept showing weakness and taking all the responsibility on herself, and her last sentence was unclear.
Not only did she save her son's face, but she also proved that she was a good mother who cared about her son. The key point was that this was very pitiful.
Tian Chengcheng met her eyes and probably guessed her intention. She wanted her to take the initiative and take full responsibility.
Originally, she didn't care.
But now - I'm sorry, it's impossible!
"Then each family will pay half. I didn't think it through. After all, Aunt Wang and her family paid for most of the rent. Aunt Wang had to pay for the investment. I can't speak on her behalf. I don't feel guilty about each family paying half."
Tian Chengcheng's voice was soft and her smile was harmless.
Zhang's mother rubbed her hands, and after hearing what she said, she didn't insist anymore.
Of course she hopes to spend less money, but she also doesn't want to be the bad guy, especially now that nothing has started. If the relationship becomes strained, it will be difficult to get along with each other, and her job will be in jeopardy.
Soon, the matter was settled. Master Liu was the contractor because Tian Chengcheng wanted to entrust him with everything, and the money for purchasing materials had to be included.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Fubao, I can be your full agent. It's just a matter of running a few errands. But they won't give you credit for the materials, and my family isn't well off, so I can't come up with that much money all at once."
Tian Chengcheng looked at the total bill. Excluding labor costs, the material cost alone was about 700 yuan.
"Here's one thousand yuan, an advance payment along with the workers' wages. Keep track of the bills and I'll refund you any excess or make up for any shortfall." Tian Chengcheng put down the one thousand yuan bill and said, "Master Liu, I'm very grateful for your hard work and help. Please don't put any money into this. Any expenses like buying materials, transportation, and eating out will all be included in this."
Master Liu didn't expect her to be so straightforward, so he said readily, "Okay, then I'll take on the job. I'll write you a receipt."
Tian Chengcheng wrote down the receipt and said, "By the way, Master Liu, their wages are based on the market, so yours will be ten yuan a day."
Decoration is not an easy task. It is very tiring to run around every day. And if you want others to work for you sincerely, you have to be willing to pay.
"Ten yuan is too much. Now a worker earns less than 200 yuan a month. Five yuan a day is enough. I won't feel at ease if I take more than that." Master Liu said.
Now a skilled worker earns three dollars a day, and an unskilled worker earns two dollars a day, so five dollars is already a lot for him.
Tian Chengcheng was firm. "The ten yuan is settled. We won't come here to check on you. Master Liu, treat it as your own business. If there's anything you're unsure about, have Brother Zhang tell him and we'll come over to take a look."
Seeing her full of momentum, Master Liu agreed and said, "Then I'll accept it. Don't worry, I will do it as my own job. You can rest assured."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to Master Liu."
Tian Chengcheng smiled and said that not only did he give a lot of money, but he was also very pleasant to talk to.
But if she did this, it would be a bit difficult for the Zhang family to deal with. They were both doing the same work, and she couldn't pay the decoration team more money in a day and pay the Zhang family less money for building the house.
"Uncle Liu, let's just use the same standard. But we'll keep an eye on it ourselves, and it'll be cheaper if we buy the materials together." Zhang Youcai said.
Master Liu nodded. "Okay, that's settled then! I'll get some people over and tell them to work harder to build your house as soon as possible. You take care of your own people, so I won't be involved."
One day less means one day less wages!
Moreover, building a house in the village requires help. At that time, there were few rich people but many strong people. Whoever built a house, the surrounding neighbors would go to lend a hand, remember the favor, and repay it when the time came.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu." Zhang Youcai thanked him.
He knew that Uncle Liu was a real man, so he looked for him.
