Chapter 101 - 101: Meng Yunzheng and Zhang Shu?
Craftsman Zheng moved the door and said, “This is not a problem.”
“And this wall on the left, I wonder if we can make a few big windows. I want to let in more light.”
Craftsman Zheng went over and examined the wall carefully for a moment. He gave her an approximate width, “This piece can be knocked out and installed as a window.”
Shu Yu replied, “That’s enough.”
She then brought Craftsman Zheng to look at the door that connected to the backyard.
“This has to be removed and the passageway widened. It’s connected to the room in the backyard which I want to use as a fitting room.”
Then, she wanted to separate the fitting room from the other room in the backyard and the kitchen so that the living and working areas could be separated.
As such, there was only one room left for people to stay.
However, there was nothing she could do. After all, the original shop was quite small.
Therefore, she wanted to make a bunk bed in that room. The bottom of the bunk bed would be wider and could sleep two people, while the top would be narrower and could sleep one person. With that, one room could accommodate three people. It was a little cramped, but the conditions were limited now.
When she earned money, she would buy a house in the county town.
Shu Yu tried her best to make use of the resources. Even with that, she still had to have a separate utility room since there had to be a place to store the goods.
Either way, the backyard space was fully utilized. Craftsman Zheng, as a professional, gave a few suggestions to adjust the layout to make it more suitable and beautiful.
Shu Yu fully believed her father’s words now. Uncle Zheng was indeed meticulous and capable.
“Then it’s decided,” Craftsman Zheng said, “I’ll go to the market to take a look later. There are some things that I still have to pick out.”
Shu Yu nodded, “I’ll go with you. I’ll just buy it then if it’s good.”
This time, Daniu did not say that he wanted to go. He would not interfere in matters that involved money.
Shu Yu followed Craftsman Zheng to the market that mainly sold materials. Craftsman Zheng had connections and chose the middle-grade ones. This was just a rented shop, so it was enough.
Shu Yu had some understanding of these materials. She could tell that Craftsman Zheng did not cheat her. Even if he did, it was fine. She didn’t understand, but her father was a carpenter. He would know if the work was good or not when he came around. There was no need for Craftsman Zheng to be greedy.
The two of them ate a bowl of noodles at a stall before continuing to shop. By the time they finished, it was already very late.
Craftsman Zheng had to go home to prepare the tools and call two workers to help. After all, Shu Yu did not give him much time, and he needed help.
With that, Shu Yu and Craftsman Zheng parted ways at the entrance of Dongmen Street.
Shu Yu heaved a sigh of relief after finishing one matter on her list, and her walking became much lighter.
However, just as she was about to turn to Ningshui Street, she suddenly saw two familiar figures standing in front of her.
Shu Yu stopped in her tracks and her gaze fell on the man who was facing her sideways.
Zhang Shu… Why was he here?
And wasn’t the person standing opposite him Meng Yunzheng? Wasn’t that Young Master Meng whom she had just met a few days ago?
How could these two people who had nothing to do with each other know each other?
Shu Yu frowned slightly. The next moment, she saw Zhang Shu smile at Meng Yunzheng and walk around him.
Meng Yunzheng was still standing in the same place, but his indifferent eyes quickly turned to look at Shu Yu. Their eyes suddenly met.
Shu Yu wanted to leave but it was too late.
Although they had agreed that they would act as if they hadn’t seen each other last time, Meng Yunzheng did not look away after seeing her now.
As such, Shu Yu hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward and stood in front of him.. She smiled and asked, “Do you know Zhang Shu?”
