Chapter 277 Oh, this damned teamwork

Yes, how is the pay calculated?

Lu Sanzhu immediately became excited. Shu Yu glanced at him, and he quickly composed himself and became more reserved.

The three young men exchanged glances, and the one standing in front held up one finger.

Shu Yu frowned. "One tael of silver?"

Of course not, it's one hundred coins.

The three young masters couldn't help but glare. It wasn't that they were stingy or miserly; they were all big spenders. The key issue was that they were still resentful and wouldn't give a single penny, let alone a hundred.

Besides, looking at their stingy appearance, they should be secretly laughing if they were given a hundred coins.

They considered this amount as a bribe to a beggar.

Just as they were about to shake their heads, Shu Yu said, "You only have one tael of silver. Do you think you're giving money to a beggar?"

The three of them were taken aback. Lu Sanzhu, who was already feeling so satisfied that he almost jumped for joy, looked at Shu Yu in astonishment.

Not only him, but also Tang Wenqian and Lan Hua looked at her. Isn't one tael of silver a lot?

Shu Yu was already frowning as she did the accounting. "You only paid me one tael of silver, that's really stingy. My third uncle was soaked in the water for so long, his hands and feet are all wrinkled, he might even catch a cold."

As he spoke, Shu Yu glanced sideways at Lu Sanzhu.

The latter suddenly had a flash of inspiration and turned to the side, sneezing twice loudly.

Oh, this damn good chemistry.

Shu Yu pointed at him, "Listen to this! He's already caught a cold. He needs to see a doctor and take medicine when he gets back, and he'll need to stay in bed for at least two days. The doctor's fees, medicine costs, and lost wages need to be compensated. Besides, my third uncle just said he was only going to demonstrate his swimming skills, that he could swim one lap and then come up, but you guys weren't satisfied and even made a racket, attracting everyone around. Look, even people from our village have come to watch the spectacle. This won't do. My third uncle still has his pride. What if the villagers go back and spread the word, and everyone laughs at him?"

Tang Wenqian, a fellow villager, stood there expressionless.

Shu Yu sighed, "You caused these consequences, and my third uncle's spirit has been hurt. So there should be some compensation for his mental state, right? Also, my third uncle only agreed to demonstrate his skills, he didn't say he allowed you to hit him with bamboo poles, did he? He was hit on the forehead several times just now, I don't know if it will cause him any mental problems. What if he suddenly goes crazy and beats his wife and children? This is all your fault."

Everyone, "..."

So that's how wages can be calculated?

Even Hu Li coughed lightly and silently looked in the direction where the adults were.

He misunderstood the adult. The adult is right. Miss Lu... is not an ordinary girl. She won't suffer any losses.

The three people were also stunned, staring at Shu Yu in astonishment. Why were they being blamed for all of this?

"Then tell me, how much do you want?"

“If it’s less than ten taels, we’ll be losing money,” Shu Yu said generously.

"Ten taels? Why don't you just rob me?"

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Isn't that what I'm doing right now, stealing from you guys?"

The three refused, saying, "But you also kicked...pushed us into the water, and there were seven of us. So we're the ones who lost out, aren't we?"

Shu Yu remained silent, and the three assumed she was in the wrong and couldn't say anything.

However, she quickly raised her head again and nodded in agreement, saying, "You're right, this matter is a bit complicated, so I suggest that we go to the government office and let the officials determine who bears more responsibility."
