Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Carpenter Zhang was at home trying to find a solution to his problem because he was reported for cutting corners on the job. Unexpectedly, someone would take the initiative to ask him to come and work for them.

He immediately agreed to it with a smile, and made an appointment with Yang Xiaoyue to start the work on Saturday.

Originally thinking it was a small job, he went to the courtyard with an apprentice on Saturday.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, he was stunned by the look inside.

He listened to Yang Xiaoyue's request absent-mindedly, and then took his little apprentice to do it obediently under Yang Xiaoyue's nose.

Because the person was introduced by Xu Changping, Yang Xiaoyue stayed in the room for a while and then left with peace of mind to do other things.

Seeing Yang Xiaoyue leave, Carpenter Zhang immediately stopped his work and pointed to the cabinet against the wall and said to his apprentice:

"Hurry up and dismantle these cabinets. They are all made of small-leaf red sandalwood. Take them back and make some things. You can earn much more than working."

"Master, didn't the master say that we are not allowed to move these cabinets?" The young apprentice scratched his head and asked with a naive look on his face.

Carpenter Zhang was looking at the cabinets on the walls with shining eyes. When he heard his apprentice's words, he immediately slapped him on the back of the head:

"When did I say that? Why didn't I hear it? Besides, I asked you to dismantle the cabinet for the good of the master family. What does a little girl like her know?"

The young apprentice looked at Carpenter Zhang with an embarrassed look on his face and said hesitantly, "Master, this is not good."

Zhang San, the carpenter, looked at his young apprentice's stupid look and shouted angrily, "What's wrong with that? Do it or not? If not, get out of here tomorrow."

The young apprentice was frightened by the look on his master's face and dared not say anything. He quickly picked up the tools, walked over, and started prying it open.

Yang Xiaoyue finished cooking at Xu Changping's house and came to see the progress of the decoration. Unexpectedly, as soon as she came in, she saw a scene that made her angry.

I saw that the shelf that was originally fixed on the wall of the east wing had been half removed, and large and small wooden boards were scattered all over the floor.

She found that the other party did not stop after seeing her coming in, so she immediately stopped the worker who was about to start, and said to the decorator angrily:

"I told you that this shelf cannot be moved, how could you dismantle it without my permission?"

Seeing Yang Xiaoyue so angry, Carpenter Zhang immediately walked over with a smile on his face and said:

"What do you know, little girl? This thing is in the way. I'm taking it down for your own good."

Yang Xiaoyue became even angrier when she saw him like this, and immediately said with a cold face:

"What does this have to do with whether I'm a little girl or not? I told you clearly before, don't touch these things."

"Just build a stove and a cabinet here. What are you doing now?"

Seeing that Yang Xiaoyue was still angry, Carpenter Zhang put away his smile and said with a scoundrel look:

"Now that it's all demolished, what else can you do? Either you tear down the rest, or you just leave it like this!"

"You must put it back on, or I'll make you pay for it."

Yang Xiaoyue was really angry this time, and she also pointed at the wooden board on the ground and laughed.

"I can't install it. Since it's already been dismantled, I can only dismantle the rest."

Carpenter Zhang looked at Yang Xiaoyue with a rogue look on his face, and waved his hand arrogantly, asking his little apprentice to continue.

Xu Changping couldn't find out what had happened to the Sun family, so he could only ride his bike back to the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the east wing, Xu Changping heard a quarrel coming from the next room.

Xu Changping then remembered that it was he who asked Yang Xiaoyue to find a decorator, who had been leaving early and coming back late recently, and he didn't know what the work had looked like.

Hearing the quarrel inside, he quickly parked his bicycle and walked quickly towards the east wing.

Standing at the door of the wing room and seeing the scene inside, Xu Changping frowned.

I saw that the three-sided antique display cabinet that was standing upright against the wall had been violently dismantled in half, and Yang Xiaoyue was arguing with a stranger with an angry look on her face.

"What's wrong."

Xu Changping walked slowly into the east wing, stood beside Yang Xiaoyue, and looked at the middle-aged man opposite with sharp eyes.

"Brother Xu, you're back."

Yang Xiaoyue's eyes quickly turned red and she looked at Xu Changping pitifully.

Xu Changping rubbed her head and asked in a very gentle tone: "I'm back. What's going on? Who is this man?"

"Brother Xu, this is Carpenter Zhang from the address you gave me! Don't you know him?"

Yang Xiaoyue's eyes, which were originally filled with grievance, suddenly paused, and she secretly glared at Carpenter Zhang.

"Carpenter Zhang? I remember it was Carpenter Tan? Did I write the wrong address?"

Xu Changping didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that the wrong address actually had a carpenter.

"Here's the address."

Yang Xiaoyue obediently handed the note with the address to Xu Changping.

"That's right! No. 65, Wuyi Lane, Gulou East Street."

Xu Changping lowered his head to confirm the address he had written. After finding that it was correct, he raised his head and looked directly at the so-called Carpenter Zhang.

"Carpenter Tan rented the house to me."

Carpenter Zhang didn't expect that this family actually knew Carpenter Tan, and they came to see Carpenter Tan on purpose. He immediately became frightened and waved his hands repeatedly to refuse:

"She didn't say she was looking for Carpenter Tan, she just asked if I was a house decorator."

Xu Changping knew that he had forgotten to write Carpenter Tan's name because of his negligence. He rubbed Yang Xiaoyue's head apologetically and said:

"It's my fault. Next time I will write down the name, address and time clearly."

After comforting Yang Xiaoyue, he looked up at the mess in the room and said indifferently:

"Didn't she tell you to find Carpenter Tan? Didn't she tell you not to move the cabinet on the wall?"

Carpenter Zhang did not dare to treat Xu Changping the same way he had treated Yang Xiaoyue just now. He said in a flattering tone:

"Well...I just thought these cabinets were getting in the way, so I wanted to clear them out to make more space in the house."

"Really? Then should I thank you for your kindness?"

Xu Changping used his foot to turn up the rosewood slab that was placed under the debris and looked at Carpenter Zhang with a half-smile on his face.

"No... no need. It's my duty to consider the master."

When Carpenter Zhang saw Xu Changping's actions, he buried his head deeply in his chest and dared not even look at Xu Changping again.

"Tsk~, you don't think I'm praising you, why don't you get out of here right away."

Xu Changping was too lazy to deal with such a stupid person. Since Carpenter Tan was willing to rent the house to this person, it meant that he agreed that the other party would act under his name.

Then he would go directly to Carpenter Tan and ask him to give an explanation.

After hearing what Xu Changping said, Carpenter Zhang didn't even dare to pack up his tools. He hurriedly pulled his little apprentice and ran out crawling.
