Chapter 131: The Villagers’ Shock 1

The villagers only bothered to gather and gossip.

“My God, they hired so many thugs!”

“This…”

“Why do I feel like the Eleventh Daughter is not at all new to this sort of thing? Her way of doing things is exactly like that of a bigshot from Jianghu.”

“Exactly! I even thought that she wouldn’t be able to do anything as long as Old Man Zhang and his family stubbornly stayed put. Who would have thought.”

That she would send hired thugs over!

It was quite eye-opening.

Madam Wu, along with her daughter-in-law, Madam Guo, had also witnessed the scene sneakily. Madam Wu gulped and thought to herself, ‘This little girl sure has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. We can’t possibly deal with her. Looks like we really have to wait for the old lady to come back and put her in her place.’

After the old Zhang family moved, Jiang Yeqian immediately called for someone to change the locks on the door.

The people in the village, Ma Sanye included, had all assumed that Qi Qingyao would be staying in the old Zhang family’s home for the time being. However, to their surprise, they did not even see a slither of Qi Qingyao’s shadow.

However, come the next morning…

Just as the sun was rising, the people over at Qi Qingyao’s newly acquired land who were in charge of excavating the foundations had already begun their work. In order to hasten the work process, Jiang Yeqian hired over 30 people just to excavate the land, which was why the work had been extremely efficient as they plowed on without hesitation.

The scene of the huge construction project almost caused the lower jaws of each of the villagers to fall to the ground.

“Just how much money must she have to hire over 30 people just to dig the foundation!”

“A lot.”

“Is she in a hurry to move in?”

“She still hasn’t shown up ever since the time she asked for the land. What the heck is she up to?”

“Who cares what she’s up to! Just look at the scale of this construction project, it’s huge!”

“It’s making a lot of noise too, but we still have no idea what’s going on. If they’re just building an ordinary house, do they really need to call over so many people in such a grandiose manner?”

“That’s what I’m saying. She’s lost her mind after getting her hands on so much money. Based on how extravagantly she is spending, she’d probably go broke once she’s burned through all the money!”

Ma Sanye spotted Jiang Yeqian sitting on the shaft of a brand-new carriage. He was eating a steamed bun and had a book in his hand, looking carefree and relaxed.

Ma Sanye felt a little awkward interrupting him.

“If you’re building a house, don’t you need help from the villagers?” Typically, when someone was building a house in the village, the neighbors would come help each other to get the house up.

“There’s no need. We’ve already hired people.” Jiang Yeqian replied as he smiled politely.

Ma Sanye, “…”

While the villagers dropped by to have a look every day, the foundation was completed in just two days. In hopes of rushing the project, the old man hurriedly began building the body of the house.

The old man noticed that Jiang Yeqian would always be sitting on that carriage as he read a book with a neutral expression. Occasionally, he would come over and check on the progress of the project as well as the quality.

“You don’t have to sit here the whole day,” the old man said, thinking it was because Jiang Yeqian did not feel assured.

Jiang Yeqian, “Foreman.”

The old man, “…” For real, he would never simply spend a client’s budget!

They were professionals.

Exasperated, Jiang Yeqian simply pointed toward Si Jin.

The old man, “??”

Jiang Yeqian, “Foreman.”

The old man, “…”

So it was not to supervise them, after all.

Only then did the old man realize that the youth had taken off his mask, revealing his actual appearance that looked as elegant and beautiful as that of a divine immortal.

“Ah, you are…” The old man was stunned. This child was as beautiful as a lady.

“Yeah, I’m that horse-face.” Si Jin smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.

The old man scratched his head. After letting himself calm down a bit, he said, “Child, you’ve grown up to be this delicate and pretty but why are you wearing such a terrifying mask? You made us think that both of you were disfigured or something.”

Si Jin chuckled. “That’s because I’m this beautiful and since there’s a lot of people in town, Sister said that as a boy, I should learn how to take care of myself when I’m outside, lest I bump into some pervert. That’s why I wear a mask on purpose.”
