Chapter 116: Zhang Chaomei Takes Office

In reality, things were not at all as Han Li had imagined. While he was happily petting his dog and waiting in the courtyard, the Yun sisters had unexpectedly summoned Hao Hongmin, Yang Xiuying, He Mi, and Qi Zhaodi over.

Yang Xiuying teased, "Han Li, you're really being unfair! You secretly built a bathroom without telling us. Are you afraid we’ll use it?"

Although Han Li was bewildered, he had to smooth things over. "Haha, how could that be? I haven't even finished the final inspection yet; I'm not sure if there are any defects."

"Let's go see the bathroom you built first."

As they all swarmed into the house, Yun Yingying noticed Han Li’s dazed expression and whispered in his ear, "My sister said this bathroom couldn't be kept a secret. It’s better to let those we have a good relationship with know about it; besides, this will stop you from having any bad intentions."

Han Li thought to himself, *Yun Jingjing, I thank your ancestors for eight generations!*

Out loud, however, he said, "Your sister is wronging me. What kind of 'bad intentions' could I possibly have?"

Yun Yingying blushed and whispered, "You say that, but you were acting like that—how is that not having bad intentions?"

"What do you mean 'like that'? I climbed up, but I just wanted to observe it carefully and then clean it by hand. Is there anything wrong with that? How could that be considered a bad intention?"

"Stop talking."

"Fine, fine, I'll stop. We are dating now, surely you shouldn't listen to everything your sister says?"

Yun Yingying said in a voice barely audible, "I haven't told her about the things you did to me. If I did, my sister would definitely be angry. Things at home aren't great, so I don't want her to be too upset. Maybe when there's an opportunity..."

The atmosphere was just about right, but just as Han Li was about to say something, Yun Jingjing called out from inside the room, "Little sister, come here for a second."

"Coming!"

Yun Yingying gave Han Li an apologetic look, rubbed her face to cool down, and went inside.

Once the women saw that the bathroom required burning wood and charcoal to heat up, they quickly reached a consensus: the secret of the bathroom must not be shared with others. If too many people knew, who would get to use it and who wouldn't? It would only cause Han Li trouble. Furthermore, since they were on good terms, using his bathroom was already a favor; they shouldn't take advantage of him regarding the supplies. They decided they would help trade for charcoal from the villagers, having seen how exhausted Han Li looked over the past two days.

They discussed it among themselves and settled the matter, with Yun Jingjing providing guidance at key moments. Han Li could only accept this unnecessary meddling. However, the benefits were immediate—the Yun sisters were the first to use the bathroom that night. Yun Yingying emerged first, wearing thin clothes and carrying the faint scent of soap...

In the following days, the other women took turns using the bathroom, though the Yun sisters were always present. While there were no further developments, catching a glimpse of the beauties right after their showers was a treat not everyone got to enjoy
