"Daughter-in-law, are you hungry? If not, we will notify the wall painter first so that he can come over to work."

Now that the house is definitely theirs, a lot of work can be done without any worries. Su Yun hoped that the house renovation project would start as soon as possible, so she couldn't wait to say: "I'm not hungry, let's go and notify the painter first."

Han Lingyuan laughed. His wife's eagerness to try was like a child getting a favorite toy. It's rare to see such a childish side of her. Well, it's really strange.

However, he is also looking forward to the completion of the finished product of the house.

The two of them took the bus and went to the painter's house. The master was already waiting at home and knew they were coming because Han Lingyuan had greeted them in advance yesterday. When he saw him coming, he naturally knew that the trap was nailed.

The salary Han Lingyuan paid was higher than what he usually received when taking orders himself, but he required that the painting be meticulous. If the painting was not up to standard, the work would have to be reworked. The requirements were strict, but the painting master did not hesitate. He was already very skilled and was not afraid at all. People are finding fault, doesn’t this extra money fall safely into his pocket? As for the apprentice he brought, he didn't need to spend a lot of money. He mainly learned skills from him.

The painter said he could go over now and had lunch in advance.

Han Lingyuan and Su Yun took the painter and his apprentice to the newly bought house. The painter visited the upstairs and downstairs and said that the house they bought was good, and the layout and location were excellent.

Then I couldn't help but ask about the price. When I heard it was eight thousand yuan, I was speechless.

Although this house is indeed worth this money, but...but who can easily get so much money in one go? Ordinary workers, with a large family and a mouth open for food, will not be able to save much money at the end of the year. No matter how much the salary is, it can't withstand the large number of people.

This young couple from outside the country are really rich. The locals who were born and raised in Kyoto are not as wealthy as them.

However, it is not easy for outsiders to come to Kyoto, it is not easy to rent this house, and it is even more difficult to buy a house. In comparison, they, the locals, have the advantage.

For a moment, the painter's mentality was a bit broken. He didn't know whether it was envy or sympathy.

In the end, it was his apprentice who broke his random thoughts and asked him what to do with the materials.

Han Lingyuan said that he would leave the materials to him, and the painter was naturally happy to do so. Although the price he gave was the market price, if he introduced the order to an acquaintance, he would get some gray income, and at least he could give him a pack of cigarettes.

The painter patted his chest and promised, "We can paint your place beautifully and look brand new in two days."

"Master, the walls of this courtyard also need to be painted."

Many of the walls of the courtyard were mottled and peeling. Su Yun saw that the painter kept emphasizing the house, and was afraid that he would miss it, so she hurriedly explained it.

The master was a little surprised and his eyes widened: "The walls of this courtyard also need to be painted?"

"Yes, the exterior walls and interior walls should be painted together. Are you too busy?"

Su Yun asked.

"Okay, why not? If that's the case, two days may not be enough."

After the master took a breath, he quickly replied. He originally thought that there was no need to paint the courtyard wall, but it was obvious that this young and beautiful woman liked beautiful things, and how could she refuse the business that came to her door?

"It doesn't matter. If you don't have enough time, just move it later, but the quality must be guaranteed."

Su Yun has no objection to this.

Han Lingyuan's wife had the final say anyway, so the few of them decided happily.

After the decision was made, Han Lingyuan gave the master a sum of money in advance, saying that it would be used to buy materials. He would return the excess and make up for the shortfall. Recently, he would come here every day. If you have any difficulties, just ask him directly.

The painter guessed that he was coming to supervise the work or check the progress, but he didn't care. The people nearby were still squatting and watching every day, just for fear that they would be lazy. This couple was very arrogant.

After Han Lingyuan finished explaining to Su Yun, he left.

When the painter's apprentice saw them leaving, he couldn't help but said: "Uncle, beautiful women are such a waste of money."

Who doesn't like beautiful people and things, and he is no exception. He used to really think about marrying a beautiful wife after completing his studies, but now, he changed his mind and felt that he couldn't afford a beautiful wife.

The painter laughed, and the wrinkles on his old face piled up.

He said earnestly and sincerely: "Marry a virtuous wife, and a wife who manages the household well. Unless you can make money yourself, you must be cautious."

This apprentice is his wife's nephew, and he has tried his best to teach others. If he were an outsider, he would definitely not show off all his special skills. Otherwise, wouldn't the apprentice starve to death after learning the master's skills?

The little apprentice learned the lesson and nodded obediently.

After a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, what do you think they do, and how come they are so rich at such a young age?"

"I don't know, why do you care so much? Just check your household registration. Work hard and get the money as soon as possible."

.......

Su Yun naturally didn't know that she had just arrived in Kyoto and was treated as a prodigal daughter-in-law. Anyway, she just can't get away from the prodigal. Who told her to pursue details sometimes?

After the two had lunch, Han Lingyuan sent Su Yun back to the guest house to rest. He took the design drawing to the carpenter. He accompanied the carpenter to the house, measured the dimensions, and estimated the wood that needed to be purchased.

Part of the wood was brought to the house, and part of it was brought to the carpenter's home, because some jobs could be done at the carpenter's home.

In order to speed up the progress, it is best for both parties to work together and not wait for three days before starting.

After the carpenter saw the design drawing given by Han Lingyuan, he praised it three times "Wonderful" and chased him to ask who designed it and whether he was a great designer.

Han Lingyuan said proudly: "My wife designed it."

The carpenter took two steps back and looked at him from head to toe twice, with a suspicious look on his face: "How old is your wife?"

"My wife is twenty years old this year."

There was a sense of pride in Han Lingyuan's tone.

The carpenter was silent and looked at the sky again. He didn't really believe that a twenty-year-old daughter-in-law could come up with such a design.

After the carpenter master died, he was resurrected with full health. The main reason was that he was eager to finish it quickly and see the renderings.

If it weren't for the fact that his home wasn't spacious enough for people to live in, he really wanted to make his own home like that. It could also be used as a model house for people to visit in the future, and there would be an endless supply of orders.

After this is completed, I wonder if the owner of this house will be willing to give him this design drawing?

The carpenter struggled for a while and discussed the matter directly with Han Lingyuan, saying that he could work in vain and could he give him the design drawing.

Han Lingyuan said that he would ask his wife when he gets home and she would give it to him if she agrees.

The carpenter looked at him with sympathy. He felt that it was really pitiful that a grown man like him had to go home and ask his wife for her opinion on such a trivial matter. He couldn't make the decision!
