The Two Unlucky Kids
Wang Yue's words clearly hadn't convinced everyone. Shen Qi was simply used to listening to Wang Yue, so he didn't argue.
Huang Shu just thought her teacher was remarkably generous, far beyond anything she'd imagined. How much would all this cost?
Qin Li, however, was thinking of Wang Yue. He was sure Wang Yue was right, but still couldn't help asking, "But why don't you build the houses yourself?"
That was exactly what everyone else wanted to know. They looked at Wang Yue in confusion, hoping for a clear answer.

Qin Li looked at the others and suddenly realized there was a problem: everyone except him seemed to have something of their own to do.
