Sweet love in military marriage: an egg in exchange for a rough husband

Chapter 396 I wonder when the decoration team will arrive?

"Little sister, let me tell you something," Su Tai was very excited when he saw that it was finally his turn. "I was a little nervous when I found the previous decoration team this time, after all, I didn't know them. But they turned out to be quite enthusiastic! It's no exaggeration to say that after they knew why I came, it was like meeting relatives whom I hadn't seen for a long time!"

Su's mother couldn't help but want to scold Su Tai again, thinking that what he said was a little out of tune!

What does "it's like meeting a relative I haven't seen for a long time" mean?

Who talks like that?

But as soon as Su Tai finished speaking, Father Su turned his attention to her reaction. Seeing her expression change, he patted her in advance and said to her softly, "The fourth child is also excellent!"

Su's mother's anger disappeared immediately, and she waited quietly for Su Tai to continue telling her about what he had experienced today.

"When I felt this way, I was very flattered." Su Tai found that Su's mother was not as angry as expected, and felt a little strange, but the joy at the moment made him ignore this point, "I asked them why they were so happy about my arrival."

"It turns out that they haven't received any renovation work for a long time. Many people don't have other livelihoods or skills, so they can only stay at home and farm and dig for food in the soil."

"But they have many children, and they all want them to go to school, so that they don't have to be blind like them, and they can have a better future. So they are under a lot of pressure in life. When they found out that I was looking for them to do the decoration, the glint in their eyes still makes me shudder when I think about it."

"So I thought a lot on the way back, thinking about how to help them. Because I was completely immersed in how to help them, I accidentally got on the wrong bus. I took multiple buses to get home, which resulted in me getting home after dark. I'm sorry to have worried you!"

After Su Tai said this, guilt showed on his face and he looked at Su's father and mother, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Su's mother did not yell at Su Tai for being careless and careless as before. "You have your reasons. I can't blame you. Now tell me, have you thought of a way to help them?"

Su Tai's strange feeling that had just been suppressed rose up again. He took a careful look and found that Su's mother did not look angry. "I wanted to take advantage of the break between classes to go out and walk around the streets to ask which houses need to be renovated, remodeled, or built. Because before I left, I specifically asked them if they could build a house, and they all said they could."

"Then what?" Su Yunyun asked when she saw Su Tai seemed a little hesitant.

"When someone says they want to renovate, remodel or build a house, I'll take the job and contact the renovation team to come into the city to do it." Su Tai took a deep breath and expressed his thoughts.

"Do you want to be a contractor?" Su Yunyun instantly recalled the words she had heard in her previous life.

"Contractor?" Su Tai muttered to himself, then nodded in agreement. "This name is very appropriate. What I want to do is to take on construction and lead a group of people to work."

"So are you planning to help on a voluntary basis or charge a certain fee?" Su Yunyun concluded that Su Tai had never thought of making money from this.

"Ah!" Su Tai scratched his head, bewildered. "Isn't this what I thought of just to help them? I'm just acting as an intermediary. How can I make money from this?"

"Brother, I believe you don't need me to explain too much about the principle of gratitude and resentment," Su Yunyun said with a serious face, "Except for family members, no one is obligated to be good to others for free. Once you do this, it is easy for people to have thoughts that they shouldn't have. In the end, you do good things but become a bad person in the eyes of others because you are not selfless enough, unless you plan to devote your life and everything you have to them wholeheartedly!"

"How is this possible!" Su Tai screamed, "I still have my own life to live. How can I give up my life for these people? After all, they are just familiar strangers to me!"

"Then we have to charge a certain fee!" Su Yunyun told him the answer directly.

Su Tai was a little overwhelmed. He just wanted to do something kind and help them improve their current living conditions. However, according to Su Yunyun, he could also make money for himself while doing good deeds, which somewhat subverted his cognition.

Unable to make up his mind, Su Tai looked at Su's father and mother and Old Du helplessly, hoping to get an answer from them.

"Fourth brother, you have good intentions. If you have good intentions, you should make them last longer. But if it lasts for a long time, you can't let your free help lead to other people's appetites getting bigger and bigger, and you won't be able to bear it. So what your younger sister said is very right. You can't do good things with bad intentions. The gain will outweigh the loss!" Su's father said in a deep voice.

"Fourth Brother, I believe you now understand the principle of doing good things with bad intentions. Let me tell you one more thing, human hearts are unpredictable, especially when it comes to interests. People's eyes and hearts will be blinded by money. Greed is insatiable, and when people feel that what you give them cannot meet their needs, they will backfire on you and make you regret doing this. I don't think you want to see this result!" Old Du started from the human heart and asked Su Tai to make a careful decision.

"If you ask me, since you want to do good things to help them, what's wrong with you making some money from it? There is no such thing as good without reason in this world. If you really help them for free, who knows what they will think of you," Su's mother said very directly. "Maybe they will think you have some unspeakable intentions, and will be on guard against you, or refuse to cooperate with you! You won't be able to help them improve their lives."

"Little brother, look, our parents and godfather all said so," Su Yunyun advised again, "I believe that my eldest brother and the others have the same idea!"

Upon hearing this, Su Tai looked at Su Ping and the others, and saw them nodding their heads at him. "Old Four, charging a certain fee can ensure that your work of helping others will continue to develop in the long run, and it can also help them better. I believe that your purpose of helping them is this, so charging a certain fee is very reasonable!"

Seeing that everyone in the family agreed with Su Yunyun's point of view, Su Tai made up his mind to help these renovation teams while charging a certain fee. He also had the mind to tease, "Okay, I'll listen to you. If the effect of my help is very good, I believe I can pay off the previous rent soon and buy a house earlier!"

When the Su family saw that Su Tai had changed his mind, they felt relieved and started joking with him. After everyone laughed for a while, they went back to rest in the moonlight.

The next morning, Su Tai got up and washed, then went to the window of the west wing and called Su Yunyun to get up quickly for breakfast, and then go to the store near Renmin University of Beijing early.

After Su Yunyun was woken up by Su Tai, she was a little confused at first. Then she woke up in bed for a while and realized that she had to go to see the layout of the storefront today, and then arrange for the decoration and purchase of materials. She also had to go to the street office, so she got up immediately to have breakfast.

Soon the two of them went out and took the bus. When they sat down on the bus, they asked, "Young man, when will the decoration team arrive?"
