When they arrived at the courtyard house and the celestial bridal chamber, they discovered it was a

Zhou Zheng'an's laughter echoed in the courtyard, breaking Jia Zhangshi and Liu Qianqian's guard again, earning him over a hundred points.

Zhou Zheng'an then opened his door and looked inside. The house was a mess, with dust all over the floor and furniture overturned. He frowned, then looked at the third aunt and called out, "Aunt Yan, could you do me a favor and tidy up the house for me?"

He spoke loudly, deliberately making sure everyone around him could hear.

The third aunt naturally disagreed. She turned her head away and said, "I don't have time. I have other things to do."

A hint of disdain flashed in her eyes as she thought: Is this Zhou Zheng'an stupid? Making me do things for you is just offending Jia Zhangshi.

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Zheng'an immediately said, "100,000, Auntie, I'll give you 100,000, you help me tidy up the house."

His voice wasn't loud, but it exploded like a bomb in the crowd.

The three women were taken aback and asked repeatedly if it was true. Their eyes widened, and their faces were full of surprise.

Zhou Zheng'an nodded and stuffed the 100,000 yuan into the hands of the third aunt.

The three women were overjoyed. This 100,000 yuan was equivalent to half a month's or even ten days' wages for many people at that time. (Don't curse, this was done intentionally; there's a reason.)

She stuffed the money into her pocket, afraid that Zhou Zheng'an would change his mind, and then immediately took action, even calling Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang to help.

Her voice was loud as she ran, shouting, "Jiecheng, Jiefang, come help! There's work to be done!"

When Jia Zhangshi saw that he had done such a simple cleaning, she thought she could help him by offering 100,000 yuan. She wanted to stand up, but ultimately held back. She gritted her teeth and thought: I won't help him; let him be smug.

Of course, thinking about 100,000 yuan made her heart bleed; it was all money she had painstakingly saved.

However, Auntie Er couldn't help but offer to help, and Zhou Zheng'an immediately gave her 50,000 yuan. Auntie Er immediately went to help. As she walked, she said, "Zheng'an, don't worry, I will definitely clean the house spotless."

The people in the courtyard thought that Zhou Zheng'an must have had a brain injury from a previous fever and hadn't recovered yet, which was why he was so extravagant.

They started discussing among themselves, thinking, "This Zhou Zheng'an is really too foolish. He shouldn't spend his money like this."

Some whispered, "Who cares? Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of a good deal."

Zhou Zheng'an didn't bother with the details; this small amount of money was nothing to him. But doing so would isolate Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu, causing them to fight amongst themselves.

This is the basic logic of upper-level governance at the lower level.

This is a case of using a lower dimension to attack someone's thinking.

Meanwhile, Liu Qianqian also felt that Zhou Zheng'an was spending money extravagantly, thinking to herself: If you spend money like this, you'll become a pauper sooner or later. Let's see what you'll be so arrogant about then.

But she couldn't be bothered to care. She actually hoped that Zhou Zheng'an would become penniless, so that she could see how smug he would be then.

So he stood aside, arms crossed, looking at Zhou Zheng'an, thinking: Let this guy do whatever he wants, let's see what kind of trouble he can come up with.

Zhou Zheng'an watched as his second aunt, third aunt, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, and others got busy, asked Liu Qianqian to help supervise, and then ran off.

As he ran, he said, "Officer Liu, keep an eye on things for me. I have something to take care of."

His voice faded into the distance and soon disappeared at the entrance of the courtyard house.

Liu Qianqian was furious. She stomped her foot and shouted, "That Zhou Zheng'an is going too far! He's treating me like free labor!"

However, she stayed behind to help keep an eye on things.

After all, this person is the boss's boss's boss.

Of course, Zhou Zheng'an wasn't really ignoring things; he simply went outside and found a furniture store.

He walked into the furniture store, looked at the dazzling array of furniture, and said to the owner, "Boss, pick out some good chairs and tables for me, I want to buy some."

As soon as the shop owner saw a customer, he greeted him warmly, "Okay, sir, whatever you'd like, we have it all."

Zhou Zheng'an selected some stylish and high-quality chairs and tables, negotiated the price with the shop owner, and spent 500,000 yuan to buy the furniture.

This is a huge sum of money.

After that, he went to the store next door and spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy some pots, pans, chopsticks and the like.

Then, when no one was looking, he exchanged some cakes, cookies, and other treats. He thought to himself, "These delicious things will definitely come in handy, and I absolutely must."

Before long, the furniture store sent someone to deliver his purchases back to the courtyard house. This surprised the second and third aunts even more; they looked at the cartloads of furniture and household goods and began to discuss them amongst themselves.

"Zheng'an is really rich this week, buying so much stuff."

"Yeah, how much money does that cost? Where does he get so much money?"

"I think he must have something wrong with his head, otherwise he wouldn't spend money like that."

Next, the workers helped move the furniture into the house and started tidying up.

Zhou Zheng'an then shared half of the cake and cookies with Liu Qianqian, saying, "Director Liu, have something to eat. Thank you for helping to supervise the work. Replenish your energy."

Liu Qianqian refused, turning her head away and saying, "I don't want it, you can take it away."

Zhou Zheng'an immediately walked to her side, pressed his lips to hers, and whispered, "This is an order, hurry up and eat it."

He said loudly, "Officer Liu, you must be tired from supervising them. Have something to eat and rest."

Liu Qianqian reluctantly accepted it, and then reluctantly took a bite. The first bite was delicious; she had never tasted anything so good before. The sweet flavor spread in her mouth, making her unable to resist taking another bite.

Zhou Zheng'an was immediately amused, looking at Liu Qianqian's adorable appearance, but he pretended not to know, lest the little girl be embarrassed.

At the same time, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

For some reason, Liu Qianqian felt that Zhou Zheng'an wasn't so annoying anymore.

She glanced at Zhou Zheng'an secretly and found that he was actually quite handsome and had his own ideas about how to do things.

Although he could be a bit irritating at times, overall he wasn't entirely unacceptable. Her impression of Zhou Zheng'an subtly began to change.

This is what they mean by "he who takes a man's money is bound to him, he who eats another man's food is bound

right.

Soon, Liu Qianqian finished the cake Zhou Zheng'an had given her without realizing it, still feeling a little unsatisfied. Then she suddenly felt embarrassed, and thought Zhou Zheng'an had done it on purpose to embarrass her, and she began to hate him.

Zhou Zheng'an heard two "dings" in his mind. He looked and saw that it was Liu Qianqian breaking down. He was very strange. What was this little vixen up to now?

It can only be said that women's emotions are unstable.

After tidying up, Zhou Zheng'an looked at the newly renovated house and felt happy. He turned around and invited Liu Qianqian to have lunch together: "Liu Qianqian, you've been busy all morning, let's have lunch together."

Liu Qianqian glanced at him coldly and refused without hesitation, saying, "No need."

After saying that, she turned and left without looking back, leaving Zhou Zheng'an standing there alone.

Zhou Zheng'an watched her departing figure, too lazy to care, thinking to himself, "Hmph, I'd rather not be a simp."

"But he'll become a robber!"
