Instead of rushing to the kitchen to heat water for a bath, Qin Mei went to see their new kitchen and toilet. Seeing that not much had changed behind the house, she was quite surprised. She looked at Jie Jingchen, who had followed her. "What were you busy with all day?"
"Sewage disposal," Jie Jingchen said. He had been busy all day with the workers, trying to figure out how to handle the wastewater.
Qin Mei paused, taken aback. This was an awkward period for Shijiu City, as it lacked a proper drainage system. In some alleyways, the residents of an entire lane had to share a single public toilet. The fact that the Jie Family had its own toilet with decent sewage disposal was impressive. 'I have to admit, the Qiao family is really something else,' she thought. 'They were so considerate of Mrs. Xie.'
