Chapter 154: Zhang Lei's Clever Solution
Chapter 154: Zhang Lei's Clever Solution
Soon, the 10 people brought iron shovels, brooms, and buckets from their homes.
Standing at a safe distance, Zhang Lei directed, "First, use soil, shovel soil, to cover those things up. Then shovel the soil and that stuff together into the manure bucket. Hurry up!"
The ten people quickly covered their mouths and noses with cloth, and then started working as Zhang Lei had instructed.
First, they shoveled up dry soil and spread it thickly on the ground to cover the yellow filth. Then, they shoveled up the soil and excrement one scoop at a time and poured it into the manure bucket.
In no time, most of the filth on the ground was cleaned up.
Zhang Lei then looked at the group and said, "There's a pool in the middle courtyard. Go and fill buckets with water to wash the tables and benches clean!"
The group quickly ran to fetch water, pouring bucket after bucket onto the table and benches, and then scrubbing them vigorously with brooms.
Thanks to the hard work of these 10 people, the floor and tables and chairs in the courtyard were finally restored to their original state.
Looking at the large bucket full of dirt and excrement, Zhang Lei muttered to himself: "This Jia Dongxu, it feels like his intestines are about to come out."
When everyone saw that Zhang Lei had done a good job of directing the operation and quickly cleaned up the courtyard and restored it to normal, everyone immediately burst into applause, which was loud and enthusiastic.
Seeing the enthusiastic applause, Zhang Lei smiled and waved his hand, saying modestly, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's all for the sake of our courtyard house's environment."
Meanwhile, Yi Zhonghai was extremely jealous. He slapped his forehead, feeling extremely annoyed: Why didn't he think of this method? He was usually the one who showed off in the courtyard, but today Zhang Lei had stolen everything.
At this moment, Xu Damao and Shazhu, who were still lying on the ground pretending to be dead, were spotted by Zhang Lei at a glance.
Zhang Lei picked up a small stick from the ground, poked the two of them, and said, "Hey, stop pretending to be dead. Get up and go home to take a shower. You smell terrible."
Xu Damao and Shazhu slowly got up, covered in dust and looking disheveled, and walked back home.
After Jia Dongxu's outburst, everyone lost their appetite, and the originally lively wedding banquet ended abruptly.
In the backyard at Liu Haizhong's house, Liu Guangqi and his second aunt were still comforting Zhao Qing.
At this moment, Zhao Qing was crying her eyes out, sobbing as she said, "Why am I so unlucky? My wedding day has turned into this..."
Liu Guangqi could only keep coaxing her, "Don't cry, don't cry, this isn't what I wanted either..."
The second aunt also tried to comfort him, saying, "Good child, don't cry. Life is long. Today was just an accident, an accident..."
No matter how they tried to persuade her, Zhao Qing's tears just wouldn't stop falling.
Liu Haizhong, smelling of excrement, returned home in a disheveled state.
When the second aunt saw his appearance, she was immediately startled: "Old man, what's wrong with you?!"
Liu Haizhong, not bothering to explain, covered his nose and roared, his face turning pale, "Stop asking questions! Boil water right now! I need to take a bath! Hurry!"
After saying that, he rushed into the house, as if he wanted to scrub off every last bit of skin on his body. Although Aunt Er was terrified, she didn't dare to delay and quickly went to the kitchen to start a fire and boil water.
Although the filth on the ground had been cleaned up, the sour and rotten smell lingered in the air, making people reluctant to enter.
Zhang Lei didn't want the three girls to be tainted by this bad luck, so he led the three sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, around the side rooms to avoid the worst-hit area in the central courtyard, and went directly into the east wing to return to his home.
Fortunately, the east courtyard and his rear building are now connected, creating a dedicated passage. Otherwise, Zhang Lei would have had to grit his teeth and walk through the central courtyard, which would have been a real pain.
And the Jia family.
At this moment, Jia Dongxu lay on the bed, his whole body like a lump of mud, being constantly washed with water by Jia Zhangshi. His eyes were empty, he wanted to cry but couldn't, and he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.
As Jia Zhangshi wiped him clean, she kept cursing, "Where did that bitch Qin Huairu go? I can't find her anywhere! She disappears at the crucial moment!"
Fortunately, Jia Dongxu had already emptied his stomach completely outside, otherwise Jia Zhangshi really wouldn't know how to deal with it.
Qin Huairu, before Director Wang even entered the hospital, had quietly slipped out of the courtyard and hidden far away, following Zhang Lei's signal.
Banggeng stood at the door, pinching his nose and saying with a look of disgust, "Grandma, my dad smells terrible. Can we not let him stay in the house?"
Madam Jia immediately scolded, "He's your father! Whether he smells good or bad, he's still your father! You can't say that!"
Banggeng pouted after being scolded, then pushed open the door and ran out: "I'm not home, the house stinks!"
Watching Banggeng run away, Jia Zhangshi stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.
After giving Jia Dongxu a bath, Jia Zhangshi looked at herself, who was covered in dirt and stench. She found the bath ticket and money, pushed open the door, and, despite the disdainful looks from the people in the courtyard, went straight to the bathhouse.
The people in the bathhouse were startled when they saw Jia Zhangshi and quickly stopped her, saying, "Get out! Where did this beggar come from? Why are you trying to squeeze in here?"
When Jia Zhangshi heard someone call her a beggar, she immediately flew into a rage and retorted, "Which baby didn't grow up before letting you out? Open your donkey eyes and look at me! I'm here to take a bath!"
At this moment, the bathhouse manager also rushed over. Seeing Jia Zhangshi's appearance, he was startled and quickly said, "No, no, you smell terrible! How can you come to bathe? Get out, get out!"
Hearing this, Jia Zhangshi became even more displeased: "Fine, I'll leave then! Who wants to bathe in your bathhouse? Who would come to your bathhouse if they weren't dirty?"
Without a second thought, he threw the tickets and money on the counter, grabbed his belongings, and rushed into the bathhouse.
The steward saw this and quickly came up to stop Jia Zhangshi, but when he got close to her and smelled that odor, he was startled and subconsciously took two steps back.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jia Zhangshi rushed into the bathhouse.
As soon as she entered the bathhouse, a stench filled the air, causing everyone to cover their noses, and the bathhouse instantly erupted in chaos.
Everyone was so frightened that they all rushed out dressed, leaving the bathhouse almost empty.
When Jia Zhangshi saw this scene, she didn't think anything was wrong. On the contrary, she felt it was peaceful and took off her clothes and jumped into the pool.
The bathhouse manager, upon seeing this, turned green with rage and pointed at Jia Zhangshi, shouting, "You come out here! What are you doing! You've driven everyone away with the stench!"
But Jia Zhangshi ignored him completely and continued to scrub the mud in the pool.
The customers who rushed out covered their noses and shouted at the manager, "Refund! Refund! We can't take a bath now!"
The supervisor looked at the people running out of the room, then at the "culprit" in the pool, and felt like crying but had no tears in his eyes. Only one thought occupied his mind:
What a huge loss! A truly huge loss!
