Wang Xiuxiu followed them, trying to persuade them again.
"Master, now that you've left, what's the point of my house being renovated only halfway through?"
She knew they were afraid of that group of people from before.
Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, so it's normal for them to be afraid.
"Don't be afraid. What era are we living in? If they dare to come, I'll call the police."
Wang Xiuxiu spoke firmly.
But the workers were unmoved. They shook their heads, and one couldn't help but say, "The police? Even if the police come, it won't do any good!"
"Comrade, considering how good your man is to us, I'm giving you a piece of advice: just spend a little more money and let them put on the show!"
Wang Xiuxiu took a deep breath. "Fine, if you want to leave, then leave. I'll find someone else."
She clenched her fist. "I refuse to believe that no one dares to take this on."
The foreman was packing tools into his toolbox when he heard this. He stopped what he was doing and gave Wang Xiuxiu a meaningful look.
This was the first time he had ever met such a young and stubborn girl.
They were all working people, and he didn't want to see Wang Xiuxiu suffer.
He sighed and said earnestly, "Comrade Wang, you can't beat them. It won't matter who comes."
As he spoke, the contractor looked bitter. "Since the land acquisition started two years ago, there have been countless incidents of vandalism and looting. My former boss is still lying in the hospital."
"He may never wake up in his lifetime, but the person who caused him to be like that is still living a life of luxury without any consequences."
He stretched out his arm and pointed to the sky.
"They're connected here. I know your man is in the army, Comrade Wang. If you don't want to ruin your man's future, I'll give you one last piece of advice: pay to avoid trouble!"
After the foreman finished speaking, everyone packed up their things.
Everyone stood up in unison, walked around Wang Xiuxiu, and went outside.
Wang Xiuxiu did not stop her anymore.
They were determined to leave, and if something happened later because she insisted on keeping them, she would feel guilty.
Standing in the new house, looking at the messy room, Wang Xiuxiu felt a surge of indescribable bitterness and melancholy.
She had already promised Lu Shishen that she would move out after the New Year.
It now seems that the house is far from being completed, and it's uncertain whether new workers can be found.
She wants to have a home of her own, but why is it so difficult?
As for those provocative people, she would definitely not compromise and would let them do the renovations directly.
Wang Xiuxiu felt that she was, after all, a person from the new era, and if she were to simply compromise with these people, she would feel that the education she had received was a joke.
She steadied herself, looked around the new house, and walked over to carefully tidy up the trash on the ground.
Every time she went downstairs, she would take some with her to throw away.
Lu Shishen has been here recently, and he's taken on all the work. Every time he finishes throwing things away, he's covered in dust.
Before Wang Xiuxiu could pick up the snakeskin bag from the ground, a pair of rough, large hands reached out from behind her and snatched it up first.
She turned her head, and Lu Shishen began throwing trash inside without any expression.
What brings you here?
Wang Xiuxiu was surprised and glanced behind Lu Shishen.
There is no one.
Lu Shishen continued working with his hands, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Zhao is playing at Liu Xue's house."
Wang Xiuxiu suddenly fell silent.
After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Lu Shishen, you don't need to do these things."
Lu Shishen completely ignored her.
Wang Xiuxiu simply stood up, dusted off her hands, and continued, "These workers can do it. It's just a matter of paying them a few more yuan, and that will solve the problem."
She stiffened her neck and raised her voice: "You don't owe me anything, and I don't want to owe you anything. If you keep acting like this, I'll only get more annoyed with you!"
Wang Xiuxiu was in a bad mood.
Whether before or after transmigrating into the book, she had encountered countless situations far more difficult than the one she was facing now.
She endured all those times alone.
She doesn't need anyone's sympathy or guilt; she can move forward on her own.
Lu Shishen's behavior, on the contrary, made her feel burdened and annoyed.
She was afraid of developing a dependency on anyone.
In that case, difficulties that you could face alone before might become more difficult in the future.
This is a very bad thing for her.
Lu Shishen's eyes flickered slightly, his hands continuing to move. "I already said, this isn't compensation, it's voluntary. Just consider me your worker."
His voice was much softer than usual.
Wang Xiuxiu felt a mix of emotions.
She didn't know what to say, so she simply kept quiet.
A moment later, Lu Shishen quickly cleaned up the construction debris on the ground, picked up the bag, and went downstairs.
Wang Xiuxiu frowned, but ultimately closed the door and followed him downstairs.
There are designated places to dispose of construction waste.
This is a new residential area, and many people have been renovating it recently.
As luck would have it, they ran into the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face again at the garbage dump.
He was standing with one hand on his hip, leaning against the wall, directing the sweating workers.
"Hurry up, haven't you eaten yet?"
"Brother Dao's money is all used to support a bunch of good-for-nothings like you. You can't even do this little job properly."
"Why are you acting like a turtle? Just lift it up and flip it over!"
A loud crashing sound rang out as waste materials were overturned all over the ground.
Lu Shishen happened to be passing by and was almost hit by the rolling debris.
The man with the pointed chin and monkey-like face sneered, turned to look at Wang Xiuxiu following behind Lu Shishen, and said in a flippant tone, "Oh, so the worker ran away, and you found a mistress to help you with the work?"
He looked Lu Shishen up and down, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
But he quickly disappeared without a trace, and then warned menacingly, "Comrade, Brother Dao's patience is limited, don't challenge him."
"I'll let it go this time. Bow to me and I'll help you keep it from him."
The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks raised an eyebrow and made a greasy expression.
Wang Xiuxiu was almost laughing in anger. "You scared all my workers away, and you expect me to bow to you? How dare you?"
The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, relying on being Brother Dao's close follower, had always acted arrogantly in this area, and had never been insulted like this before.
Still in front of a group of underlings.
He couldn't save face, so he immediately turned pale, picked up a brick, and threw it at Wang Xiuxiu.
"You bitch, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
His movements were unexpected, and Wang Xiuxiu was completely unprepared, instinctively raising her hand to block.
With a "thud," before the brick could even reach Wang Xiuxiu, it was kicked to the ground.
Lu Shishen's face was ashen, and his eyes and brows were filled with gloom.
He threw down the construction debris in his hand, looked up at the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face, and spoke in a cold and sharp voice.
"Did you dismiss our workers? And threaten my wife?"
The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face never expected that the brick flying in mid-air could be kicked aside with perfect accuracy by the man in front of him.
Still somewhat dazed, I saw that the man had a gloomy face, and the coldness emanating from him was somewhat frightening.
