Transmigration Of Mian [Reluctantly] Becomes His Man [Wife] (穿越之勉为其男)

Chapter 039: Live In a New House (1)

Later, Qin Mian wasn't in the slightest surprised to see Du Shi and her company coming back for lunch or to see Lei Daqiang at the table. Only Lei Chuntao, whose skin was too thin, unwilling to come. Despite that, Qin Mian still prepared her meal every day and asked Du Shi to bring it home.

Nearly half a month later, the new house was finally completed, standing in silence with greenish-black bricks and black roof tiles. For the reason that Qin Mian often went to "supervise" and treat the laborers warmly and considerately, in return, the laborers worked very carefully. Every brick and tile was very neatly put and one would know at a glance that they had done their best.

On the day when the house was completed, Qin Mian moved the meal from noon to evening and also prepared good wines. The laborers ate and drank to their heart's content and satisfaction, to the extent where they were smiling broadly even when being scolded by their wives who called them home.

After this event, they had a little more understanding of Qin Mian and Lei Tie and later treated the two with a little more kindness. To a certain extent, this attitude had affected other villagers. Qin Mian and Lei Tie then had a better relationship with the people in the village, especially Qin Mian. This was a part of the story to be recounted later, not to be mention at the moment.

Qin Mian struck the iron while it was hot[1]. He found several experienced masons earlier and showed them the drawing of the heatable brick bed that had been drawn for a long time as he explained in detail so that the heatable brick bed would be successfully built.

[1] act at good opportunities or while circumstances are favourable.

Aside from having a trace of surprise when seeing the drawing, Lei Tie didn't voice an opinion and gave Qin Mian a free rein to do what he wanted.

After the heatable brick bed was completed, Qin Mian focused on the bathroom. It took him and Lei Tie two days to find some blocks of marble from the mountain and sent them to the Precious Stones Pavilion where pieces of jewellery and ornaments were made, requesting them to use special cutting tools to cut the stones to flat slabs for the bathroom floor and the kitchen stove. It costed 5 taels of silver just to cut and polish it, which made Qin Mian so distressed that he didn't buy meat dishes that day.

The cutting master in that shop was more distressed than him. His cutting knife was used to cut precious stones, jadeite and pearls, not rocks. Ultimately, he cut it for the sake of money.

Afterwards, Qin Mian and Lei Tie went to the Rich and Honor Woodcraft Shop with furniture drawings.

Liao Zhifu saw Qin Mian enter the door with a smile on his face, while Lei Tie followed him silently with a basket on his back. This familiar scene made him think that time had turned back to a month ago.

"Manager Liao, hope that you are well."

The sprightly smile on Qin Mian's face suddenly made Liao Zhifu feel a little stomachache, "Haha, it's little brother, all thanks to you." The last blueprint made their employer earned more than 5000 taels, which was not much for them businessmen, but it was rare to get 5000 taels for a month's net profit. Therefore, he didn't want to offend Qin Mian.
