Scum, My Duty, I Know You Don't Have a Son

After he finished speaking!

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

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

"What? No money!"

"You want to come in without money!"

"Old Fu, did a donkey kick your brain!"

"Since when has our Fishing Guild allowed stray cats and dogs to enter freely?"

"There's no room for negotiation!"

"Steward Zhang, please be kind, those few are pitiful children of mine..."

"Get lost!"

"Ouch!"

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

"Not good, Uncle Fu!"

Jiang Dafeng's expression changed drastically!

He couldn't care about anything else and pushed open the courtyard gate, rushing in.

Jiang Yi and the others followed closely.

They saw Uncle Fu lying on the ground, struggling to get up, his wrinkled face etched with bitterness.

Jiang Dafeng quickly reached out and gently helped him up!

Seeing Jiang Yi and the four rush in, the person called Steward Zhang was stunned for a moment before sneering.

"The four people Old Fu mentioned, could they be you four brats?

Don't tell me you're some country bumpkins from a forgotten corner of the world?

Haha!

You think you can enter my Fishing Guild just like that?

Hurry up!

Take this old man away with you, and get lost back to wherever you came from!"

As he said this!

Steward Zhang also stood up, raising his two chubby hands to drive them away.

Jiang Yi took a step forward, blocking in front of them!

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

This look fell into Steward Zhang's eyes!

It made his whole body prickle!

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

"I'm telling you, this is the Fishing Guild, not a place where you can do as you please..."

"Someone, quickly, someone..."

Steward Zhang took a few steps back, involuntarily opening his mouth to shout!

Just then!

Outside the courtyard, a hearty laugh was heard first.

"Haha, is that little brother? We meet again!"

Turning around, they saw!

A tall, gray-clothed man with his hands behind his back strode in.

The corners of his mouth were curved in a smile!

Although he was a little surprised to see so many people in the courtyard, he focused his attention on Jiang Yi.

His gaze was burning!

Just as he was about to speak again!

Steward Zhang, as if seeing his backbone, his chubby face lit up with joy!

He practically scrambled over to Liu Sheng's side.

"Steward Liu, help!

You've come at the perfect time!

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

I refused them!"

"They're actually trying to cause trouble here and hurt people! You must uphold justice for me, sir!"

Liu Sheng frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"We weren't causing trouble!"

Jiang Sanxi bravely stepped forward!

He even extended his hand, pointing at Steward Zhang, completely ignoring the threatening look in his eyes, and continued to explain:

"This fatso is lying!"

"Uncle Fu kindly found us work, but this fatso said he wanted money, and then he pushed Uncle Fu..."

Liu Sheng's expression immediately turned grim!

He turned and coldly looked at Steward Zhang beside him, his voice calm and low:

"Is what that young man said all true?"

The words landed in Steward Zhang's ears, chilling him to the bone, his body trembling like a sieve!

"N-no, it's not true! They're talking nonsense, Steward Liu, please listen to my expla—"

"Scoundrel!"

The response was an incredibly loud slap.

"Slap!!!"

Steward Zhang's plump, round body toppled over to the side, his entire body almost lifting off the ground.

The right side of his face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You don't need to come here anymore!"

"Bubu, it's me, open the door, Mo Xia Ci won't dare again, Mo Shang You Lao..."

"Guards, drag him out quickly!"

Two strong men entered. No matter how Steward Zhang struggled and wailed, they dragged him out swiftly, as if they were hauling a dead pig.

Once the courtyard was completely quiet!

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

"There are always a few bad apples in the business. I apologize for the unpleasantness, young man!"

"It's nothing, it's just caused you trouble, senior!"

Jiang Yi cupped his fists in thanks.

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

"Strictly speaking!"

"This is part of my duties."

"It's just that usually, someone else is in charge of this."

"If you hadn't been here today!"

"I might not have discovered that such a scoundrel had appeared in the Fishing Guild!"

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

"Listening to what that young man said earlier, did you come here today hoping to join our Fishing Guild?"

At this moment, Uncle Fu, as if reacting instinctively, quickly bowed and pleaded:

"Steward Liu, please be kind!"

"These few are pitiful children from Jiang Family Village. They've barely managed to escape here.

We only ask that you give them some work!

Old man asked earlier, they can do any kind of odd jobs, just enough to get by."

"Jiang Family Village?"

Liu Sheng nodded!

He obviously knew about this matter, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"So that's how it is!"

A glint flashed deep within his pupils.

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

"Uncle Fu, no need for that! This courtyard happens to be short of a few errand boys, I'll arrange it all at once!"

"Thank you, Steward Liu!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Steward Liu, you're a good person!"

Hearing this, Jiang Dafeng and the others were instantly ecstatic. Their plan to settle down in the small town now had a glimmer of hope.

Everyone nodded and bowed repeatedly, expressing their gratitude.

"However..."

Liu Sheng paused, looking at Jiang Yi with a hint of teasing in his smile.

"As for you, little brother, if I were to assign you menial labor, wouldn't that be a terrible waste of talent!"

Jiang Yi looked up and met his gaze!

"As long as it doesn't violate any fundamental principles, Sir... Steward Liu, please feel free to give me any instructions. I... am willing to follow your arrangements!"

As for what constituted a fundamental principle?

He, Jiang Yi, would be the one to decide!

"Haha, how could that be?"

"Don't worry, little brother, the tasks I assign you will absolutely not be difficult!"

Liu Sheng was overjoyed!

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something!

"Since that's the case, I wonder if you could call me 'Uncle Liu'? This wouldn't be too difficult, would it?"

Jiang Yi: "..."

Well, I'll be!

He hit me with a royal flush on the very first try!

Did this count as a violation of fundamental principles?

It seemed... not!

Fortunately, he wasn't asking to adopt him as a son and have him care for him in his old age, otherwise...

He would have had to kowtow!

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

"Just waiting for you to say that," Liu Sheng said with a smile!

"Aye! Good, good, good!"
