Chapter 147 The Young General's Power

The sudden sound filled Old Liu and Zhao Youliang with surprise and delight.

The two shouted three words in unison: "Young General!"

That's right, the person who came was the tycoon who gave Zhao Youliang the gold lighter, the one known as the Young General.

He still looked rather dim-witted, and immediately burst out laughing when he heard Zhao Youliang and Old Liu calling him.

"Hahaha, that's right, it's Your Majesty!"

"What's wrong? You all miss us?!"

The young general walked in as if he knew the place well, his clear eyes, which also seemed a little foolish, curiously looking at all the coffins in the room.

Then he lay down in one by one to try it out, and even had Zhao Youliang help him put the coffin lid on.

After trying them all, he laughed heartily with satisfaction.

While laughing, he pointed to several coffins and said, "Oh my god, this one is the most comfortable to lie in. Let's save it for our eldest son."

"Those two over there are fine too, keep them for ourselves and Eighth Master."

"That row over there is reserved for Fatty Zhao and Chao'er's families."

"Oh, by the way, keep that black one over there, Quantum, for yourself."

"Anyway, you're not going to live much longer. I reckon you'll scream and die in the next few days."

Zhao Youliang was clearly not used to the "young general's" thought process and looked completely bewildered.

At the same time, he secretly wondered: Does this important person usually talk like this?

He'll get beaten up if he talks like that, you know?

Oh right, most people can't beat him; he's a big shot...

Just as Zhao Youliang was lost in thought, Manager Liu's voice rang in his ears.

"Quantum, your opportunity has arrived!"

"As long as you can win the young general's favor, none of your problems will be problems!"

"You absolutely must seize this opportunity!"

As it turned out, Zhao Youliang was kind-hearted, and he hesitated after listening to Old Liu's words.

He first glanced furtively at the middle-aged man who was still studying the coffin, then lowered his voice and spoke to Old Liu.

"Uncle Liu, I know you got injured when you helped me last time."

"If the young general helps me, he..."

Upon hearing this, Old Liu was moved by Zhao Youliang's kindness and began to explain to him.

“Quantum, the fact that I injured myself to help you is indeed a consequence of cause and effect.”

"Twenty years ago, the gentleman set a rule that none of us were allowed to interfere in anything."

"Because among these people, Uncle's cultivation is the lowest and he is subject to the fewest restrictions, that's why he was entrusted to teach you."

"As for the young general..."

Before Old Liu could finish speaking to Zhao Youliang, the mysterious young general suddenly spoke up.

"Quantum, right? I heard from 'the immoral driver' that you have a really fun shop?"

"Can you take us to see it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang hesitated for a moment, but still explained the rules of the paper-making shop.

The young general, who didn't seem very bright, was completely bewildered by the numerous rules.

"Holy crap, this is so complicated? I can't remember it... How about this, Quantum, you take me to take a look first."

"If all else fails, we can just change the rules."

"Change...change the rules?!" Zhao Youliang's face was full of disbelief upon hearing this.

"Young General, are you sure?!"

Zhao Youliang's attitude surprised the young general: "What, can't it be changed?"

"Did our boss set the rules?!"

Old Liu felt sorry for Zhao Youliang, and upon hearing this, he quickly spoke up.

"Young General, don't worry, the rules weren't set by the teacher!"

Upon hearing Old Liu's words, the young general immediately showed no concern.

Patting his chest, he pretended to be terrified as he spoke, "As long as it wasn't decided by our boss, who cares about the rest? Even my dad can't do anything about it!"

"Little quantum, don't say anything more, just lead the way!"

"Anyone who dares to stop me from changing the rules, we'll beat them up! Beat them until their own mothers won't recognize them!"

And so, Zhao Youliang, looking completely bewildered, left the coffin shop with the middle-aged man who didn't seem very bright.

Walking down the street, middle-aged people seem to be interested in everything.

Looking around, he soon bought a lot of random things from the vendors.

Furthermore, this middle-aged man never haggles over the price of anything he buys; he simply tosses a hundred-yuan bill at a time and doesn't ask for change.

If the item costs more than 100, he will give it 200 directly.

In short, it's all about "rounding up"...

As I was walking, several children suddenly ran towards me from the opposite direction.

The middle-aged man, referred to as the young general, clearly adored children and immediately gave away all the things he had just bought.

Old Liu, who had come along, smiled and spoke up when he saw this.

"Young General, since you like children so much, why don't you have a few yourself?"

The young general was quite annoyed upon hearing this, and even looked dejected.

"Oh, please don't say that!"

"We do want children, but Yun won't have any for us!"

"Not only did he not have children, he also got a tubal ligation! Uncle Liu, isn't that absurd?!"

Old Liu was stunned upon hearing this: "Miss Yun... she had a tubal ligation?"

Upon hearing this, the young general became even more annoyed: "No, she had me sterilized..."

Zhao Youliang and Old Liu: "..."

In a very short time, Zhao Youliang quickly recalled all the sad things he had experienced from childhood to adulthood, barely managing to hold back his laughter.

At the same time, I also got to know this young general better: a great man with a pure heart and no airs whatsoever.

Or rather, not very bright...

Seeing the awkward situation, Zhao Youliang subconsciously tried to make conversation.
