Yan Jiefang impatiently swatted away Yu Li's hand, exclaiming, "Ah, I heard you! Don't bother me!"
Yan Bugui called out to Yan Jiefang several times without a response, so he decided to approach himself. "Boss, why are you still lying in bed? Dad found you some work; get up quickly!"
After being urged repeatedly by his father, Yan Jiefang finally exploded, "What are you shouting for? It's not like I can't hear! I finally have a day off, can't I just rest in peace?"
Yan Bugui was taken aback that his eldest son dared to yell at him; his face darkened immediately. Seeing her father-in-law getting angry, Yu Li quickly stood up to mediate. "Dad, don't be mad at Yan Jiefang. He's been feeling unwell and that's why he spoke to you like that!"
With Yu Li stepping in to explain, Yan Bugui couldn't continue scolding Yan Jiefang in front of her. He could only say, "If you're not feeling well, then just stay home and rest."
Yu Li sighed as she watched Yan Jiefang bury himself under the covers again. She realized that he felt embarrassed about working for Wang Jiefang and earning money for him, which was why he was reluctant.
After all, Yu Li was quite perceptive; she hadn't misjudged Yan Jiefang—he truly thought that way!
In Yan Jiefang's eyes, he had graduated from high school while Wang Jiefang had only muddled through two years of middle school before becoming a chef! Moreover, Wang Jiefang had become blind!
Why should a blind man be doing better than him? Why should he spend his money to work for someone else? No way! Hmph!
Outside, with the efforts of the two brothers from the Yan family, the tent was quickly set up.
At that moment, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties walked in through the front door. "Excuse me, is Master Wang Jiefang living here?"
Wang Jiefang approached upon hearing the question. "You must be Master Kui? I'm Wang Jiefang!"
"Hello, Master Wang. Director Wang from the street office sent me over. I heard you're planning to renovate your house, so I'm here to assess the situation!"
This Master Kui clearly knew about Wang Jiefang; he showed no signs of discomfort regarding Wang's eyesight issue.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Kui. Yes, I do need to renovate my house. Come on in; I'll explain the details to you!"
Wang Jiefang led him inside where Grandma and Sun Yuwei greeted them and stood beside him. Wang Jiefang pointed out the house as he introduced it. "Master Kui, let's start with this room. Can you make the back window a bit larger? About seventy-five centimeters wide and one meter fifty long would be great!"
Wang Jiefang felt that the back window was too small, making his room poorly lit; it remained dim even during the day.
Master Kui examined the window and noted that it was approximately thirty centimeters long and half a meter wide—standard size for back windows in this era! Although he didn't understand why Wang wanted such a large window, he nodded in agreement. "That's simple enough; no problem!"
"Also," Wang Jiefang continued, "this room just needs a fresh coat of whitewash on the walls. The most important thing is to replace all the roof tiles with new ones!"
Master Kui looked around the room and nodded affirmatively. "No problem! This work is easy!"
Recalling how cold winters could be from the original owner's memories, Wang Jiefang also asked Master Kui to install heated kang beds in both his room and Grandma's room.
