Chapter 106 Interesting People
When Li Qin got up the next day, it was already past ten o'clock.
Since there wasn't anything going on outside today, Li Qin decided not to leave the space.
After a simple breakfast, he first completed the day's planting and harvesting tasks, and then observed the growth of the poultry and livestock in the space.
Then I spent a few hours leisurely in the space.
Only after finishing lunch did he leisurely leave the space and return to the courtyard house.
He originally planned to wait until the steel rolling mill was about to close in the afternoon before going directly there.
But Li Qin suddenly remembered that the house in the backyard was being renovated, and no matter how busy he was, he had to go and take a look.
He immediately put away the magic suitcase as soon as he stepped out of the space.
Just as he was about to Apparate away, he suddenly stopped.
His gaze was fixed intently on the direction of the door.
A strange expression flashed across his face.
"I thought I was just imagining things, but I didn't expect someone to actually come looking for me and even open the door."
Through some observational spells, Li Qin discovered that his door had been opened, but he didn't know who it was.
At this moment, he felt even more strongly that what he did last night was correct.
What he needs now is time to arrange some things. As for dealing with the people in the courtyard, that's not urgent for now.
Anyway, there's plenty of time ahead.
He wouldn't let the people in the courtyard easily interfere with his plans and ideas.
next second.
Li Qin had vanished from the room and reappeared in a hidden alleyway nearby.
After making sure no one was watching, he slowly walked out of the alley and headed towards the courtyard house.
It was lunchtime, so most households were either cooking or eating at home.
Actually, this was something Li Qin did intentionally.
This way, you can avoid encountering people in the yard as much as possible.
Li Qin walked smoothly to the backyard.
The main gate of the backyard house was still tightly closed. No one knew what the deaf old lady was doing hiding in the room all day long.
A hint of curiosity flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
In the world of courtyard houses, the most mysterious person is undoubtedly this deaf old lady;
No one knows her true identity.
Some say it's an enemy spy, some say it's a family member of a martyr, some say it's a mistress of some prince...
In short, there were all sorts of things, making the old lady even more mysterious.
Li Qin recalled the original owner's memories and realized that since moving into the courtyard house, he had only seen the deaf old woman two or three times in total.
Based on these few impressions, Li Qin couldn't discern anything.
Perhaps we will only find out the true identity of the deaf old lady in the future.
"I'm still too weak. If my magic level were high enough and my magical skills were deep enough, I could master the Legilimency spell. Legilimency can directly read the memories in the other person's mind."
If Li Qin mastered this ability, finding out the identity of the deaf old woman would be extremely easy.
However, his abilities were not yet sufficient to master a profound spell like Legilimency.
Li Qin shook his head, in front of the west wing room.
As soon as he walked over, he saw two people building a wall on his small plot of land, and several people working in each of the two rooms.
"Constructing three lines simultaneously can indeed save a lot of time."
No wonder Master Sun was confident he could renovate the house in ten days; it turns out he used this method.
While this can shorten the construction period, it also requires more labor costs.
If Li Qin weren't currently flush with cash, he wouldn't have had the confidence to use such a plan.
Li Qin saw that Master Sun was in one of the side rooms, so he went in.
"Boss, you've arrived!"
Upon seeing Li Qin enter the room, Master Sun immediately came over.
Master Sun's face was full of smiles.
"How's it going, Mr. Sun? Is the construction going smoothly? Has anyone caused any trouble?"
Li Qin nodded, then asked with some curiosity.
Master Sun's smile faltered for a moment, but he continued smiling as he spoke.
"Master, you really have to admit, the people in this courtyard are quite interesting."
Two days ago, after we finalized the house renovation, I went back and contacted the people involved. I also finalized the materials we needed overnight. Yesterday, when we brought the materials to renovate the house, a pot-bellied man who called himself my second uncle kept asking me all sorts of questions.
I was originally planning to just brush him off, but I didn't expect this old man to claim that he was the leader of the compound.
They won't let us start construction without their permission.
In the end, I had no choice but to produce the renovation permit issued by the neighborhood committee.
Even so, that second uncle still wouldn't stop;
In the end, I really had no other choice but to say that I would go to Director Wang of the neighborhood office to report this matter, and only then did he slink away.
Master Sun has renovated countless houses and encountered all sorts of people.
But this is truly the first time I've encountered something this strange.
I've certainly broadened my horizons.
Upon hearing Master Sun's description, Li Qin knew that Liu Haizhong was showing off his power again.
Unfortunately, the people I met weren't the residents of the courtyard.
The old man in charge of a mere courtyard, frankly speaking, is nothing more than a nobody.
"The situation in this courtyard is a bit complicated. Thank you for your hard work, Master Sun."
Li Qin still needed these people to help him build his house, so he didn't hesitate and immediately took out several packs of Daqianmen cigarettes from his person.
"Master Sun, I've been quite busy lately, and I have to go to the countryside from time to time, so I definitely can't come here every day. I'll leave the house to you. Although Li Qin doesn't provide lunch and they have to work overtime."
However, Li Qin made sure to pay both wages and meal allowances, so the workers present had no complaints.
Seeing that Li Qin had left them several packs of Daqianmen cigarettes,
The way everyone looked at Li Qin immediately became more favorable.
"Don't worry, boss, I'll take care of everything perfectly for you regarding the house."
"If you, the employer, don't approve it after it's finished, we'll feel awkward taking your wages."
For artisans, reputation is of utmost importance.
Especially since Li Qin is not stingy with money this time, if they can't fix the house for Li Qin, they will really be too ashamed to face anyone in the end.
Li Qin immediately smiled and nodded.
He also believed in the integrity of these artisans.
"Now that construction has started, I will pay a portion of the wages according to the rules."
One of the main reasons Li Qin would come to the backyard was to give money.
He had only paid Master Sun a portion of the material costs, but hadn't paid him any wages yet.
"I won't go into the detailed calculations. I'll pay you 100 yuan in advance, and the rest will be settled in one lump sum after the project is completed and inspected."
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Master Sun's face immediately broke into a smile.
When they are doing construction, although they do receive advance payments, it's mostly just a formality. Getting one-fifth of the payment in advance is already considered a lot.
Li Qin didn't even bother to calculate and just gave him one hundred, which surprised him greatly, but also made him very satisfied.
