In their previous lives, Su Yin, her mother, and her sister-in-law were brutally mu*dered by a mob. In a twist of fate, all three were reborn together.

Before the mob could reach their villag...

Chapter 435: Provocation

The person who was speaking was Rong San, a temporary worker who had just arrived not long ago. When he first arrived, he worked very hard and rushed to do everything.

But in recent days he has been obviously more perfunctory in his work and often slacks off.

Zhao Yuzhou had seen it many times, and he had reminded the other party several times, but the man turned a deaf ear.

Rong San's words did not attract much attention from the people around him, and everyone was doing their own work.

This made Rong San very dissatisfied.

He curled his lips, approached the group, and said in a low voice, "I say, are you stupid? You finish the work so quickly, and when there is no work, where can you find such a good job? Eight cents a day, and you can eat three meals a day, and even meat."

Rong San was speechless to these stupid people. "If we work slower, we can have more time and earn more. You are so quick and efficient, but you still want to rush the work. Aren't you just cutting off your own financial resources?"

Several people paused for a moment, apparently taking Rong San's words to heart.

"There is some truth in what Rong San said."

Someone retorted, "There is still a lot of work to do. The boss said before that after we finish here, there will be a farm to build, which is a big job. We can do it until next year."

Rong San couldn't stand anyone contradicting him, "Are you stupid? No matter how big the farm is, we have so many people, we can finish it quickly. After we finish, where can we find such good jobs? It's better for everyone to work slowly and prolong the time. If we can stay for another month, it will be profitable."

"Just think about it, if we work for an extra month or two, how much more salary we can get."

Rong San raised his finger and gestured a number, "One more month we can get an extra two taels of silver, and if it's two more months, that's half a tael of silver. Not to mention two more months of food."

"I'm sure everyone can't afford the food they have now, right?"

Once these words were spoken, no one objected.

The food here is really good, better than what many people eat during Chinese New Year.

Someone was moved by Rong San's encouragement and couldn't help but agree, "I think what Rong San said makes some sense."

"Yeah! Anyway, the boss doesn't ask us to do a certain amount of work every day. As long as we do a little less, no one will find out."

Rong San was very happy to see that what he said was recognized by others.

Just as he was about to continue the instigation, Zhao Yuzhou stepped forward and said, "If you continue to spread rumors and confuse the people, I will not be polite to you."

When Rong San saw someone jumping out to oppose him, he just wanted to see who it was, and it turned out to be Zhao Yuzhou.

Rong San knew Zhao Yuzhou.

Because when I first arrived, I heard people around me talking about him, and he knew the eldest daughter of the host family.

At first he wanted to curry favor with the other party and get some benefits for himself, but after observing for a while, he found that this guy was nothing.

"Oh, who was it? Isn't this a relative of the boss?"

The last sentence was said in a very sarcastic tone.

Everyone knew that Zhao Yuzhou knew the eldest daughter of the Dong family, but they had nothing to do with each other as relatives.

Zhao Yuzhou had a cold face and didn't fall into his trap. "Master Su gave you good food and drink, and even put charcoal fire in the place where you lived. You guys actually wanted to cheat Master Su. Do you have any conscience?"

As he spoke, he looked at the others, "Master Su is so kind to us and treats us like human beings. Is this how you plan to repay Master Su?"

These words made many people who were interested lower their heads in shame.

Rong San saw that the situation was not good, and immediately retorted, "Zhao Yuzhou, don't throw dirty water on us. In my opinion, you want to use us to curry favor with Miss Su, right? You are too vicious."

Facing Rong San's accusation, Zhao Yuzhou calmly retorted, "If I wanted to curry favor with you, I would have done it a long time ago. Is it necessary to do it now? Don't change the subject. Everyone knows exactly what you are thinking."

He didn't want to continue arguing with Rong San, so he said to the people around him, "Everyone should know how Master Su treated us. We can't go against our conscience when he treats us well. If we don't even have this little conscience, who will dare to employ us in the future, and who will dare to continue to be kind to people like us who do short-term work to make a living."

"You have to think clearly. Once this matter gets out, other employers will only treat us temporary workers more harshly. After all, in their eyes, no matter whether they treat us well or badly, we will cheat and act cunningly."

Some nodded in agreement, "Yuzhou is right. We can't be conscienceless."

"Yes! Master Su is good to us, so it is only natural that we should be more efficient."

"People should not do such cruel things that will disappoint good people."

Everyone looked at Rong San with contempt.

The few people who had agreed with Rong San before immediately moved away and stayed away from Rong San, for fear of being condemned by others.

After Zhao Yuzhou contained the situation, he just walked away and continued to do his work.

What Rong San did before had made him very uncomfortable. He wanted to tell the eldest lady, but was stopped by his mother. After all, Rong San had some connections with these escort leaders. He was not sure whether the eldest lady would deal with Rong San and the supervisor who protected him after knowing these things.

If the young lady didn't care, then he would undoubtedly be targeted, and then he would not be able to stay here. But now it's different. Rong San actually dared to encourage others to be lazy. I think the young lady and the others will definitely not tolerate it.

Rong San looked at the dispersing crowd, his face terribly gloomy, his eyes fixed on Zhao Yuzhou's departing back.

Someone saw Rong San's horrified expression, timidly stepped forward, and lowered his voice, "Rong San, you have to worry about that kid Zhao Yuzhou."

"What do you mean? Am I afraid of him?" Rong San said unhappily.

"Oh, that's not what I'm talking about." The man's eyes rolled around. "I saw with my own eyes that Zhao Yuzhou and the eldest lady were having a very pleasant conversation. They really know each other. You said something you shouldn't have said today, and you had an unpleasant argument with Zhao Yuzhou. I'm afraid Zhao Yuzhou will complain to the eldest lady. If you tell her what happened just now, I'm afraid..."

There is no need to say more about what will happen next, Rong San knows what the outcome will be.

"He doesn't dare." Rong San said this, but he began to feel uneasy in his heart.

The man said nothing more and turned away in a hurry.

Rong San stared at Zhao Yuzhou's back, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

In the evening, when it was time to get off work, everyone lined up to get their meals.

Zhao Yuzhou picked up his bowl and started eating. Soon, another person appeared beside him.

Rong San came over with a licking smile and put a piece of meat in the bowl into Zhao Yuzhou's bowl, "I can't eat it, you eat it."
