Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 81 Jia Zhangshi complains to an old man
Next up!
Li Feng spent the entire afternoon painting this large porcelain slab.

In the afternoon, Li Feng made some revisions to his initial draft, as he wanted to achieve perfection.

In one afternoon, Li Feng completed the revisions to the draft of the large porcelain plaque, as well as the outlining of some of the figures.

After all, time was a bit tight in the afternoon.

You can't draw much in an afternoon.

However, Li Feng had by this time clarified the general drawing ideas and techniques.

What follows.

It's simple.

Li Feng estimates that it will be completed by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.

However, just to be on the safe side, I said it would take three days.

However, Li Feng was unaware that the higher-ups had given Master Deng ten days to complete the porcelain painting on this theme.

When Li Feng first said three days, Master Deng thought he had misheard.

After confirming, Master Deng realized he hadn't misheard. So, Master Deng wanted to see if Li Feng could finish painting the porcelain plaque in three days.

time flies.

Soon it was time to get off work.

Li Feng stopped writing and went straight to the cafeteria.

After all, painting on an empty stomach is not in Li Feng's nature.

After finishing his meal, Li Feng went back to get off work for a while longer before heading home like everyone else.

After all, Master Deng and Zhang Jiefang had already gone home from get off work.

The reason why Master Deng didn't work much overtime today was because with the addition of Li Feng and the others, the progress of his order fulfillment had accelerated considerably.

Now, Master Deng only worked overtime for a little while before going home.

Seeing that Master Deng had left, Zhang Jiefang and Jiang Fei naturally wouldn't continue painting either, so as soon as Master Deng left, the two of them also left.

As for Han Ming and the others, they also followed.

Li Feng felt that three days was more than enough.

So Li Feng also chose to leave work.

After packing his things, Li Feng left the ceramics factory.

As Li Feng walked out of the factory gate, he couldn't help but sigh.

I learned a lot today.

Today, I not only became a full-time employee but also completed the tasks required for becoming a full-time employee, and I also started two system tasks.

This was something Li Feng hadn't expected.

the other side

The Jia family's courtyard house.

An old man was sitting in Jia Zhangshi's house at that moment.

At that moment, he was listening to Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu complaining.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi cried and complained to the old man.

"An old man."

“My son is gone. Now my only wish is to watch my grandson Banggeng grow up.”

"As you know, Dongxu used to raise pheasants."

"Now that Dongxu is gone, all that's left is my daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu."

“My daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu, is also pregnant, so even if she is filling in for someone else, she can’t go to work for the time being.”

"Our family has even had trouble getting food."

"Grandpa, you have to help us!"

"Otherwise, we would all starve to death."

The old man listened to Jia Zhangshi's lament and frowned slightly. Then he remembered that everyone had given a lot of money as condolence money at the funeral yesterday. Had they run out of money?

Then Yi Zhonghai thought that even if a feast was held yesterday, there should still be a lot left, so he couldn't help but ask Jia Zhangshi.

"Sister-in-law!"

"I know about your family's difficulties."

"Now, in your family, only Qin Huairu is left as a breadwinner."

"And she's pregnant, but didn't everyone contribute a lot of money as a gift yesterday?"

"How much is left now?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi immediately complained to the old man.

"Why!".

"Uncle, you know about this too!"

"Now that it's winter, ingredients are quite expensive."

"Actually, most of the money we received for the funeral has been spent, and none of us have any money left."

After Jia Zhangshi finished speaking, she couldn't help but turn her gaze to her daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu.

After seeing the look in her mother-in-law's eyes, Qin Huairu immediately started crying and complaining to the old man.

"Yes, sir." "We really are out of money, otherwise we wouldn't have come to you."

"Grandpa, please help us."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she started crying.

Qin Huairu is truly heartbroken now, after all, she really loves her husband.

Qin Huairu had just thought of Jia Dongxu again, so she started crying.

However, Qin Huairu's crying made the old man think that the Jia family might really be broke.

So the old man nodded to Jia Zhangshi and said.

"Then I'll ask my second and third uncles for a solution."

"I'll talk to you about this once I figure out a solution."

Upon hearing what the old man said, Jia Zhangshi quickly nodded to him in gratitude.

"Thank you so much, sir. Please take this matter into consideration."

Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly and prepared to get up and leave.

After all, he still needed to discuss this matter with his second and third uncles to see what to do.

Subsequently
Yi Zhonghai left the Jia family.

After leaving the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai immediately summoned his second uncle Liu Haizhong and third uncle Yan Bugui to discuss what to do about the Jia family's affairs.

After Liu Haizhong finished listening to the story of the Jia family, he immediately spoke to the old man.

"We know the Jia family is having difficulties, of course, but we still have to make a living, don't we?"

"However, that's the principle."

"But for this kind of thing, I think it's best to talk to Director Wang."

At this point, Liu Haizhong directly suggested reporting the matter to Director Wang, since Director Wang was the director of the neighborhood committee, and Yi Zhonghai had always been the one liaising with Director Wang.

Therefore, sending Yi Zhonghai to see Director Wang is the best option.

If Yi Zhonghai meant for him to use his own money to help the Jia family, then he definitely couldn't help them.

After all, one's own money doesn't grow on trees.

Besides, he was only the second oldest man in the courtyard, and he didn't want to get involved in things that didn't bring him any benefit.

Therefore, passing it on to Director Wang is the best option.

When Uncle Yi Zhonghai heard Liu Haizhong's advice, he couldn't help but frown.

If I go directly to Director Wang, wouldn't that make me look incompetent?
How can I act like a big shot in this situation?

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai could not accept Liu Haizhong's opinion, so he turned his attention to the third uncle, Yan Bugui.

At this moment, Yan Bugui saw that Yi Zhonghai was looking at him, but he didn't know what to do.

After all, their own family is also struggling financially.

So he simply shook his head at Yi Zhonghai in response.

"Uncle, there's nothing I can do."

"Why don't you come up with a solution?"

Seeing that his third uncle was like this, Yi Zhonghai nodded and then expressed his opinion to his second uncle Liu Haizhong and his third uncle Yan Bugui.

"I plan to mobilize the entire hospital to donate."

This is the only solution Yi Zhonghai can come up with now. If he is asked to contribute money to help the Jia family, he doesn't have that much money to do so. Besides, if Jia Zhangshi or Qin Huairu goes to Director Wang...

Director Wang would definitely question his abilities, and Yi Zhonghai also knew that Director Wang would still ask him to handle this matter.

In that case, it's better to resolve this matter yourself first.

When Yi Zhonghai revealed his solution, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were completely stunned.

After Liu Haizhong realized what was happening, he immediately objected.

"I disagree."

When Yi Zhonghai saw that Liu Haizhong disagreed, he immediately asked Liu Haizhong.

"Do you have a better idea?"

Liu Haizhong was speechless after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said.

The reason Liu Haizhong was speechless was because he knew that if the Jia family went to Director Wang, the steward in charge of the courtyard would still resolve the matter.

Yi Zhonghai proposed this solution, but if Liu Haizhong disagreed, Director Wang might remove him from his position as the person in charge, which was something Liu Haizhong didn't want to see.

So Liu Haizhong has nothing to say now.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong was speechless after being talked to by Yan Bugui, he simply remained silent.

After all, with bangs already in this state, there's no point in objecting.

At this point, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui did not object, so he spoke to the two of them.

"Alright!"

"Since none of you object, I will convene a hospital-wide meeting tomorrow and then mobilize everyone to donate."

"It's settled then!"

Yi Zhonghai then made the final decision and approved the deal.
