8: Scum, it's my job, I know you don't have a son...

After speaking, Old Fu bowed and entered the small courtyard, while Jiang Yi and the other three waited outside.

In less than half the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a roar suddenly came from within the courtyard!

"What? No money!"

"You want to come in without money!"

"Old Fu, has a donkey kicked your brain?"

"Since when could just any Tom, Dick, or Harry enter our Yu Hang?"

"There's no discussing this!"

"Manager Zhang, please have mercy. My few are all poor children..."

"Get out of my way!"

"Ouch!"

An old groan followed, faintly accompanied by a "thud" of someone falling to the ground.

"Oh no, Old Fu!"

Jiang Dafeng's expression changed dramatically!

He couldn't care less for a moment, pushed open the courtyard door, and rushed in.

Jiang Yi and the others followed close behind.

They saw Old Fu lying on the ground, struggling to get up, a look of bitterness on his wrinkled face.

Jiang Dafeng quickly reached out and gently helped him up!

Seeing Jiang Yi and the four rush in, the man referred to as Manager Zhang, after a moment of stunned, sneered and said,

"The four people Old Fu mentioned, are they perhaps you four lads?

Could it be that you're just some country bumpkins from some forgotten corner?

Haha!

You, of all people, want to enter my Yu Hang?

Hurry up!

Take this old fellow with you and go back where you came from!"

As he spoke!

Manager Zhang also stood up and raised his two chubby hands to shoo them away.

Jiang Yi stepped forward, blocking his path!

He raised his head, his eyes revealing a hint of indifference!

This gaze fell into Manager Zhang's eyes!

Making him shiver all over!

"You... what do you want to do?"

"I'm telling you, this is Yu Hang, not a place where you can be presumptuous as you please..."

"Help, quick, help..."

Manager Zhang retreated a few steps, involuntarily opening his mouth to shout loudly!

Just then!

Outside the courtyard, a hearty laugh was the first to arrive.

"Haha, Little brother, we meet again!"

Turning to look!

They saw a tall, gray-clothed man with his hands clasped behind his back, stepping in.

A smile played on his lips!

Although he was a bit surprised to see so many people in the courtyard, he still focused on Jiang Yi.

His gaze was bright and piercing!

Just as he was about to speak again!

Manager Zhang, as if seeing his backbone, his chubby face filled with joy!

He almost scrambled to Warden Liu's side.

"Warden Liu, help!

You've come at just the right time!

These lads were brought by Old Fu, saying they wanted to find work here.

I refused them!

They actually tried to cause trouble here and even wanted to hurt someone. You must uphold justice for me!"

Warden Liu frowned and asked,

"What's going on?"

"We didn't cause trouble!"

Jiang Sanxi bravely stepped forward!

He even stretched out his hand, pointing at Manager Zhang, completely disregarding his threatening gaze, and continued to explain:

"This fatso is lying!"

"Old Fu kindly found us work, but this fatso demanded money, and then he even pushed Old Fu down..."

Warden Liu's face immediately darkened!

He turned and coldly looked at Manager Zhang, his voice light:

"What that young man said, is it all true?"

The words fell into Manager Zhang's ears, making his heart grow cold, and he trembled like a sieve!

"No... no, they're talking nonsense. Warden Liu, please let me expla..."

"Bastard!"

Responding to him was an incredibly loud slap.

"Bang!!!"

Manager Zhang's fat, round body tilted to the side, his entire body almost lifting off the ground.

His right cheek, moreover, swelled up visibly at a speed discernable to the naked eye.

"You don't need to come anymore!"

"B-b-but, Warden Liu, I-I'll never do it again, I have an old mother..."

"Someone, quickly drag him out for me!"

Two strong men walked in, and no matter how Manager Zhang struggled and wailed.

They dragged him out quickly, as if dragging a dead pig.

Once the courtyard was completely quiet!

Warden Liu then looked at Jiang Yi again, a hint of apology in his smile.

"There are always some bad apples in the business. I hope Little brother will forgive my rudeness!"

"It's fine, but I've troubled Senior!"

Jiang Yi clasped his fists in thanks.

"Haha, it's just a small matter!"

"Strictly speaking!"

"This is also part of my duty."

"It's just that usually, another person is in charge of most of it!"

"If it weren't for you all being here today!"

"I probably wouldn't have discovered such a scoundrel had appeared in Yu Hang!"

As he spoke, Warden Liu's tone suddenly shifted!

"Listening to what that Little brother just said, did you come here this time because you want to join my Yu Hang?"

At this moment, Old Fu, as if by reflex, quickly bowed and pleaded:

"Warden Liu, please have mercy!"

"These are all poor children from Jiang Family Village, who barely managed to escape here.

They just ask for some work!

I asked earlier, and they can do any odd jobs, just to earn a small living."

"Jiang Family Village?"

Warden Liu nodded!

Clearly, he also knew about this matter, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"So that's how it is!"

In the depths of his pupils, a gleam of light flashed.

Seeing the old man about to kneel, he raised his hand to help him up and smiled.

"Old Fu, there's no need for this! This large courtyard just happens to be short of a few odd-job workers, I'll arrange it all!"

"Thank you, Warden Liu!"

"Thank you, Sir!"

"Warden Liu, you are a good person!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Dafeng and the others were instantly overjoyed, their plans to settle down in the small town now had a place.

Each of them nodded and bowed repeatedly, expressing their gratitude.

"However..."

Warden Liu paused, looked at Jiang Yi, and smiled with a hint of teasing.

"As for you, Little brother, asking you to do odd jobs would be a bit of a waste of talent, wouldn't it!"

Jiang Yi raised his head and met his gaze!

"As long as it doesn't violate principles, Senior... Warden Liu, please feel free to command, I... am willing to follow arrangements!"

As for what constitutes a matter of principle?

Jiang Yi, he would decide!

"Haha, how could it be?"

"Don't worry, Little brother, the things I ask you to do will definitely not be difficult for you!"

Warden Liu's heart bloomed with joy!

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something!

"In that case, I wonder if Little brother could call me 'Uncle Liu' to hear it.

This, shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Jiang Yi: "..."

Good heavens!

The first time, he was dealt a royal flush!

Is this a matter of principle?

Apparently... not!

Thankfully, he wasn't asking him to be his son and take care of him in old age, otherwise... he'd have to kowtow!

Jiang Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and called out, "Uncle Liu."

I've been waiting for that! Warden Liu smiled!

"Ay! Good, good, good!"
