"I don't care, if you want to boil water, gather firewood yourselves! Don't order me around!"

"Such clear water is undrinkable, what a picky person."

Bai Manshan understood that Fan Dazhu and Fan Erzhu, who were in charge of collecting firewood, were dissatisfied and had quit.

“We agreed that someone would dig the pit, someone would build the stove, someone would fetch water, and someone would cook. You two are in charge of gathering firewood for this meal, how can you not do it?”

"I don't care, I'm not doing it anymore, what can you do about it!"

"Be careful, or I'll go back and tell my uncle!"

"You, you"

The onlookers were now in an uproar; this was outrageous!

Then everyone suddenly remembered that there was a Master Bai, and hurriedly went to look for him. When they turned around, they saw that Master Bai was blocked at the very back.

"Master Bai, why are you so late? There's a commotion inside. Please go in and settle this matter quickly."

Bai Manshan: ...Did he just arrive? He clearly couldn't squeeze in!

The crowd, which had been packed tightly together, immediately made way for Bai Manshan.

Bai Manshan walked in and saw Fan Dazhu and Fan Erzhu with expressions that said, "Everyone is making things difficult for them, but they are very strong."

Bai Manshan was about to take action when he caught sight of Hu Wenhua to the side. He immediately changed his mind and waved to him.

Hu Wenhua, who was called out, stepped forward in a daze, only to hear Bai Manshan ask, "Wenhua, what do you think should be done?"

Hu Wenhua looked at the two arguing parties and said generously, "It's easy. Dazhu and Erzhu have gone back on their promise. Let them separate."

This meal is fine; we'll each take care of our own next time.

Fan Dazhu's face lit up with joy. He was most afraid that Bai Manshan would punish both sides without distinguishing right from wrong, which would be too unfair to him!

Unexpectedly, he asked Hu Wenhua for his opinion, but considering that Hu Wenhua's suggestion would not harm them, he agreed.

He looked at the group arguing with them and sneered, "Fine, then Xu Laosan and the others can have dinner separately tonight."

Xu Laosan complained, "Why should we be the ones to be separated!"

Seeing that another argument was about to break out, Hu Wenhua interrupted: "No need to argue, I'll ask!"

The rest of you, are you going with Xu Laosan and his group, or with Dazhu and Erzhu?

"Go with Xu Laosan!"

“We were originally with Xu Laosan, but Dazhu and Erzhu insisted on squeezing in.”

"The work was arranged before we set off. The people who fetched water and started the fire didn't say anything, but the people who gathered firewood were unhappy."

"Anyone who didn't know better would think it was some kind of heavy job; I'd be embarrassed to even say it!"

"Besides, all the noodles from our family have been stir-fried, and they smell delicious when boiled in water. Only Dazhu and the other two's noodles haven't been stir-fried, so they have a raw noodle taste mixed in. In addition, they produce less, so how can you blame Xu Laosan and the others?"

The final conclusion was that Fan Dazhu and Fan Erzhu were kicked out!

The other two teams witnessed the whole thing, but no one was willing to take responsibility. The two were dumbfounded and behaved themselves for the rest of the afternoon.

Bai Manshan didn't care. He thought it would be best if they could adapt, but if they couldn't, he wouldn't create conditions for them to adapt. Anyway, there wouldn't be a next time.

He looked at Hu Wenhua with admiration.

This is a promising talent; with proper training and development, he'll be very useful in the future.
