Chapter 136 A lot of discussion
On the third day, when Carpenter Li was coming to renovate the house, Li Shengli carried his things to Ma Jianshe's house in the back house of the front yard and asked Ma Jianshe's mother to help cook lunch for Carpenter Li and his group in the afternoon and to watch the door for him.

"Shengli, your third aunt is free too, so ask her to help you look after it." Yan Bugui saw Li Shengli carrying things to find Ma Jianshe's mother and stopped Li Shengli with a plan in mind.

"Don't bother Third Aunt with such a small matter. I've already talked to people about it." Li Shengli said with a wry smile, thinking to himself, doesn't he know the situation in your family? If you let Third Aunt cook, given her personality, she will definitely cut corners and there will be no limit on the amount, so the extra food will be stuffed into her own pocket. How will Carpenter Li look at him then?

Ma Jianshe's family knew this well. They knew that the grain they had received was more than enough per capita. Even if Ma Jianshe's mother cut corners, she would not do what the third aunt did.

Yan Bugui understood what Li Shengli meant and awkwardly gave up his seat. Looking at Li Shengli's back, Yan Bugui thought to himself, this Li Shengli has become smarter.

After Li Shengli went to work, all the idle people in the yard came to the front yard to join in the fun and watch Carpenter Li and his helpers busy at work.

"This Li Shengli is a piece of shit. He has money to clean up the house but doesn't even know how to help us." Jia Zhang cursed quietly, and several middle-aged women chatting nearby frowned.

These aunts are all very annoyed with Jia Zhang's family. Whose life is easy these days? Only Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu are crying poor in front of everyone all day long.

"Hey, why do you think Li Shengli is cleaning up the house for no reason?" An old lady living in the backyard who was not so well-informed asked curiously.

"You don't even know this. The boy from the Li family is getting married soon." Ma Jianshe's mother explained to this person.

"Ah! Really? I don't know when."

"Look, if we clean up the house now, we won't get married until June or July."

"Oh, the gift money will be another expense when the time comes." Families that are less wealthy are a little worried.

"Hey, why are you worrying so much? How can a chef be short of your stuff?" Someone nearby told her not to worry, because the banquet for the chef's wedding had to be of higher standard.

"That's true, but there are no elders in Li Shengli's family. Who will be the master of ceremonies?"

"It's hard to say. By the way, Auntie, do you think the witness will be the one from your family?" Someone remembered Yi Zhonghai, the most senior uncle in the courtyard, and asked Auntie.

"Oh, our old Yi didn't say anything, and Li Shengli didn't come to see our old Yi either." The aunt shook her head. Only Li Shengli could come to see him about this matter, and Yi Zhonghai would never rush to act as an elder. If he was rejected, would Yi Zhonghai still have the face to lose?

The aunt who asked the question looked at the second and third aunts.

"No, Li Shengli didn't look for our Lao Liu." The second aunt shook her head and said.

"No one has looked for our Old Yan either." The third aunt followed suit and shook her head.

"It's strange, who is Li Shengli looking for?" The aunt who asked the question earlier murmured to herself in some surprise.

"Why do you care so much? Just look at the invitation Li Shengli sends to you when the time comes." Ma Jianshe's mother interrupted her mumbling.

"However, I heard from our old Yan that Li Shengli doesn't plan to make a big deal about it." The third aunt interrupted at this time.

"Aren't you planning on making a big deal?" Several aunts shouted in unison, looking at the third aunt.

"Yes, our old man Yan asked, and Li Shengli said that there are no elders in the family so he doesn't plan to have a big wedding." The third aunt cleared up the confusion for the few people.

"There's nothing to eat now." After hearing what the three aunts said, one of the aunts clapped her hands and spread her hands. The other aunts also sighed. Everyone was waiting for Lee Seung-ri's wedding to have a big meal. Lee Seung-ri was not a stingy person, so the wedding banquet would definitely not be bad.

Although Jia Zhang also sighed after hearing this, she did not have the same expectations as the others. After all, the relationship between the two families could not be any worse. Jia Zhang did not think that Li Shengli would invite her to the wedding. At this moment, she was smiling with a gloating look.

Carpenter Li was working in Li Shengli's house, with wood coming in and out. At noon, Carpenter Li and his apprentice had finished their meal and were resting in the corridor under the eaves at the door.

"Carpenter Li, how much will it cost to build this house?" The third aunt came over and asked curiously.

"This job costs one hundred yuan including labor and materials." Carpenter Li gave the third aunt a finger.

"So many?" The third aunt was a little surprised. She had originally wanted to ask Carpenter Li to repair her own door as well, as the door of her house was a little loose.

At night, when everyone in the courtyard got off work and returned, the women told their men the news.

"This kid Li Shengli is really rich." Yan Bugui sighed as he watched Li Shengli's family do some work.

"Old Yan, the carpenter happens to be here. Why don't we ask him to take a look at our door tomorrow? It's not good that this door keeps creaking." The third aunt remembered that her wooden door was a bit old.

"I'll tell Li Shengli later." Yan Bugui said confidently.

Yi Zhonghai listened to what the aunt said and thought about it carefully, but still did not get close to Li Shengli. Yi Zhonghai knew that Li Shengli was not close to anyone in the yard.

It's a pity for Liu Haizhong of Liu Haizhong's family, as he has lost a place to show off. However, Liu Haizhong and Li Shengli are not very close. Although Liu Haizhong wants to act like a big shot, Liu Haizhong thinks that he is a leader after all, so there is nothing wrong with him trying to get ahead.

After dinner, Yan Bugui waited for Li Shengli to come back on his bike, and then he walked towards Li Shengli's house.

"Shengli." Yan Bugui walked up to Li Shengli, who had just parked his bicycle.

"Uncle, is there something wrong?" Li Shengli had no idea what Yan Bugui was planning this time.

"Shengli, you see, there's something wrong with the gate of Third Uncle's house." Yan Bugui rubbed his hands and said.

"There's a problem with the gate, find someone to fix it." Li Shengli replied unhappily.

"I was planning to repair it, and you happen to have a carpenter here." Only then did Li Shengli understand Yan Bugui's plan.

"Then you can talk to Carpenter Li tomorrow and ask for the right amount." Li Shengli didn't plan to talk to Carpenter Li himself. If he did, he would be owing him a favor.

"Shengli, tell Carpenter Li and he'll do it for you. It's just a small thing." Yan Bugui smiled and didn't feel embarrassed.

"That's none of my business. The agreement I made with Carpenter Li was only to repair my own house. I have no control over anything else." After saying that, Li Shengli returned to his room.

Li Shengli didn't even think about paying any attention to Yan Bugui. This guy was too good at taking advantage of others.
