Chapter 76 Hehehe, No Hehehe
Chapter 76 Hehehe, No Hehehe
Gao Mengli looked at the "divorce agreement" handed to her and the saliva-covered calligraphy brush, her lips twitching slightly in disgust.
Nevertheless, he resigned himself to taking it, drew a diagram on the table, and handed it to Dou Weiyi.
Dou Weiyi excitedly grabbed the blueprints and looked at them, her heart filled with a surging wave of emotions.
"Good! Good!"
Dou Weiyi held the blueprints as if they were rare treasures, her eyes glued to them.
"With these blueprints, the public toilet will surely become a scenic spot in Pingyao once it's built. Mrs. Lin and Lin Xi, you two have made a great contribution. Once the public toilet is completed, you two will not charge a sanitation fee!"
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi were speechless. Well, thank you so much.
As Dou Weiyi spoke, he carefully put away the blueprints. "I will go and arrange manpower and materials immediately, and make sure this public toilet is completed as soon as possible. Oh, and the papermaking business can't be delayed either. You just focus on making paper; I'll buy it all!"
After saying that, Dou Weiyi left in a hurry, calculating the amount of wood and bricks needed to build the public toilet and which craftsmen would be most suitable. His back view was full of barely suppressed excitement.
Every now and then, it would jump around in place a couple of times.
Lin Xi and Gao Mengli were speechless.
Lin Xi walked to the bamboo basket at the stall, took out dumplings and small fried fish, and waved to the chubby girl who had just finished washing the dishes, "Chubby girl, this is for you. Eat it before you go back, so that the county magistrate won't steal it if you carry it back!"
Fatty lived in the Dou residence. Judging from Dou Weiyi's practiced "robbery" method just now, Lin Xi was very suspicious that the things Fatty took back probably wouldn't even end up in her own stomach.
Lin Xi clearly distinguished between outsiders and his own people; he simply didn't want to feed that damned man.
Upon hearing this, the chubby girl's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and she ran over, exclaiming, "Brother Lin, you're so kind!"
Seeing the chubby girl wolfing down her food, Gao Mengli felt sorry for the girl and couldn't help but laugh, "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you!"
The chubby girl nodded happily. After eating the dumplings, she didn't eat the fried fish anymore. Instead, she carefully wrapped it up and put it in her arms.
Gao Mengli watched with curiosity and couldn't help but ask, "Fatty, you've already eaten the fried fish, don't leave any."
This time, the chubby girl shook her head. "Sister Li, let's save this for the eldest brother and the rest of the family!"
It's pitiful that she, a scholar with the qualifications of a licentiate, goes out every day to act as a matchmaker. Qian Yan'er and the others also do manual labor in Ju'an District, repairing houses for those who are missing limbs, and don't return until dark.
And because she ate a lot, she unexpectedly got this wonderful job.
She herself is blessed, and she must share it with her "family"!
Upon hearing what the chubby girl said, Gao Mengli immediately recalled the scene of Zhang Biao beating them up that day.
He burst out laughing.
I'm sorry, she just couldn't hold back anymore.
The chubby girl looked at Gao Mengli with a puzzled expression, "Sister Li, what are you laughing at?"
Seeing Gao Mengli's tearful yet amused expression, Lin Xi quickly patted her back and smoothed things over, "Oh, Mengli just remembered that my chickens laid eggs, so she's happy!"
Hearing this, Jiang looked puzzled.
Chickens? What chickens? Could it be those three virgin chickens in their house?
Did it lay an egg?
She glanced at the two of them. What nonsense were they spouting with such a straight face again?!
After packing their things, the group took an oxcart home. The most important thing was to make the paper towels first!
Meanwhile, Dou Wei had been thinking about the structure of the squat toilet the whole way. The drainage pipe could be made of clay ceramic. The toilet bowl above could also be made of clay ceramic and then glazed.
So he took Ruan Dan, turned around at the door of his house, rented an oxcart, and headed to the nearby pottery village.
As they approached the village entrance, villagers working in the fields looked up to wipe their sweat, and saw an oxcart slowly driving into the village.
Upon closer inspection, he was so frightened that he dropped his hoe and ran away.
He ran all the way to the village chief's house, shouting, "Village chief, village chief, something terrible has happened! That deadbeat Dou Weiyi is here again!"
The village chief was doing his accounts inside when he heard the shout. He was so startled that he almost dropped his abacus.
"What? What's he doing here? He still hasn't paid the money he owes our village for goods. Why is this plague god here again?"
As he muttered to himself, Village Chief Niu hurriedly walked out.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Dou Weiyi get off the oxcart with a big smile on his face, accompanied by Ruan Dan.
The village chief's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly groaned.
“Hey, Village Chief Niu…”
Dou Weiyi stepped forward to greet him, but before she knew it, Village Chief Niu turned around, went inside, and closed the door in one swift motion. "I'm not Village Chief Niu, you've got the wrong person."
What kind of village chief is Niu? He's not Niu at all. Dou Wei is the real deal. Nobody is more Niu than him.
Even someone with the surname Niu can't compare to Dou Weiyi.
"hehe……"
Dou Weiyi was thoroughly turned away. He touched his nose, turned around awkwardly, and saw Ruan Dan trying not to laugh beside him.
He glared at him, his words harsh, "I advise you not to go too far!"
Ruan Dan's eyes immediately darted around, and she changed from suppressing her laughter to whistling, after all, the "laughing gas" in her heart had to find a way to get out.
Otherwise, a huge person would suffocate!
"Hmph..." Dou Weiyi snorted coldly.
Then he turned around, his expression changed instantly, his eyes were full of smiles, and he knocked on the door, "Village Chief Niu, I know you're in there, please open the door quickly, I have important business to discuss this time!"
From inside came the village chief's angry voice: "Hmph, what important business could you possibly have? You still haven't settled the payments for the last batch of goods, the one before that, and the one before that. Are you trying to get credit again this time? Let me tell you, no way!"
Upon hearing this, Dou Wei was so anxious that he jumped up and down at the door. This village chief Niu was really something, always hitting his sore spots.
Dou Weiyi coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment, "Village Chief Niu, this time is really different. This is a big deal. If we do it well, not only can we pay off this order, but we can also pay off all the previous debts. We're guaranteed to make a lot of money."
The village chief, Niu, inside the house sneered and retorted, "Hmph, you always say that. If I believed you, I wouldn't be able to keep my job as village chief. Magistrate, stop wasting your breath here and get out of here!"
It's really heartbreaking. They need to eat too. If it's a choice between fearing power and having enough to eat, he'll still choose the latter.
What's that called again? Unyielding to power. Yes, that's it!
He's the last line of defense for their village; they can't let him run up debts again this time, they can't afford to lose him.
Seeing that the village chief was unmoved by reason, Dou Weiyi had no choice but to take two steps back tactically, lightly tiptoe over the courtyard wall.
It landed steadily in front of Village Chief Niu, whose eyes hadn't even had time to return to their normal position after rolling them back to their original shape. "Hehe~"
Village Chief Niu: No, hehe
