Fu Dabai also knew that it was time to farm at home.

So he was in a hurry to go back, because his wife and mother must be very busy now, as well as his father.

But this stupid thing in front of me just refused to leave!!!

The thing is, Fu Dabai hurried to the county this morning.

Then he went straight to Shouhou's house. Before he left yesterday, he told his two younger brothers that no matter whether they found the person or not, they should return to Shouhou's house after dark and wait for him to come over.

The brothers of Fu Sanbai, Fu Sibai and Fu Dabai spent the whole day searching yesterday and only then found out some information.

But the two of them squatted in Wutong Lane for several hours, and no one came out. It was not until dark that a teenager came out and lit a lantern.

They went up to him and asked him, but the boy refused to say anything.

They were too embarrassed to enter such a place, so they could only go back to Shouhou's house and wait for Fu Dabai to come.

Fu Dabai's reputation in his early years was that of a gangster, and it's not much better now, so naturally he has nothing to be embarrassed about.

Thinking of not making any noise, he only took two people with him, went to Wutong Lane, knocked on the door and broke in.

Sure enough, they found Fu Erbai chopping wood in the backyard. Fu Dabai originally wanted to leave after finding him, but Fu Erbai refused!

Fu Dabai sucked his teeth and wondered whether he should just knock him out or just carry him away. Anyway, his brain wouldn't get any dumber, so a hit from a brick wouldn't be a big deal.

Fu Sanbai also looked at his second brother with a headache.

Fu Sibai was young and thin-skinned after all. When he entered such a place, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He kept his head down and didn't say a word, not daring to look anywhere.

Moreover, a few women appeared at the window over there, and they were curiously looking out and looking at the few people.

After all, it's very new. Usually, the people who come to look for people are the wives of customers. This is the first time that brothers come together to look for workers.

But think about it, those who come here to work must be those whose families can no longer make ends meet. Let alone finding someone, it’s good enough that they don’t sell themselves in. So what’s going on here?

Several women watched the fun with great interest.

Fu Erbai was stared at by a group of people, and his face turned red. Seeing that his brothers were unwilling to leave, he could only stammer and say:

"My fourth uncle said that if you work here for three months, you will be paid one tael a month, with food and lodging provided.

Fu Dabai and Fu Sanbai frowned at the same time.

"You've been cheated, you big fool! Who would pay their wages every three months?"

Fu Dabai cursed angrily.

Fu Erbai quickly shook his head: "How could that be? Fourth uncle is a very nice person."

Which good person would run a brothel?

Fu Dabai was so angry that he aimed his eyes directly at the row of bricks piled at the base of the wall. He signaled Fu Sanbai with his eyes, then stretched out his arm and put his arm around Fu Erbai's neck and said:

"Second brother! Listen to what I have to say..."

Fu Sanbai quietly walked around behind the two of them and touched a brick: Come on, second brother, let me hit you with it, so you will remember it!

He slowly walked behind Fu Erbai and was about to make his move.

At this time, Xiao Yang's fourth uncle arrived with two men and the gatekeeper.

Before the fourth uncle came near, he smiled and said:

"What good day is today? You brothers are all here so early in the morning."

Fu Dabai bowed politely and smiled:

"What day can it be? It's the spring ploughing day.

Fourth uncle came just in time. We were just talking about taking Erbai back home as there is a lot of work to do at home.

But he was stubborn and insisted that his fourth uncle make him work for three months before he would pay him. I was still talking to him about it.

Fourth uncle is your wife's uncle. If your family has problems, how can he shamelessly refuse to give you money, cheat you, and not let you leave? How can he think of making you work for free? How shameless must he be to do such a thing? Do you think Fourth uncle is shameless? "

As he spoke, Fu Dabai clapped his hands and said happily:

"That's what I was talking about!

It's a coincidence that you're here. Well, we're family, so I won't say anything. Do you think it's convenient for me to pay you now, or ask a few brothers to go to your house to collect it?

Yes, spring ploughing is very busy, but some people are idle all year round and rely on collecting debts to make a living. "

Fu Dabai glared at him with his hands behind his back, and almost said directly that he would send the gangsters to their house to say hello.

Fourth uncle's face froze, and when he heard this, he gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart:

Why did this guy come to my house when anyone else could? A few years ago, he was a scoundrel!

But he also knew that he would not be able to fool the eldest brother of the Fu family by being stingy today, not to mention that there was a cunning third brother behind him.

He could only put on a somewhat embarrassed look, walked around Fu Dabai, pulled Fu Erbai and said:

"Erbai, we are all family. If you are busy with spring ploughing, just tell me and your fourth uncle will let you go back immediately. Why do you need these old people to pick you up? It's as if your fourth uncle is unreasonable."

Fu Erbai was stupid, but also honest. He blushed when he heard this: "No, it wasn't me who asked..."

Fourth uncle was in no mood to listen to him talking about that useless thing, so he continued:

"Logically speaking, Fourth Uncle should give you the money, but you see,"

Fourth Uncle nodded at the boy and the two men over there, motioned Fu Erbai to look at them, and then continued:

"In this case, there will be no rules here, so how about this, I will give you half a pound first, and then the other half.

You take it back first, and when you are done with your work at home, you can come back and continue to work for me. Then we can settle the payment every three months. How do you think?"

Fourth uncle held his hand and whispered:

"This is for my niece's sake!"

Fu Dabai and Fu Sanbai both wanted to spit in his face, you shameless bastard, you are paid for your work only for your face, if you don’t give him face, he would have to give you something!

But Fu Erbai had already accepted it with a touched look on his face, and said shyly:

"Okay, thank you for troubling me, Uncle. I'll be back as soon as I finish my work at home."

My fourth uncle hurriedly said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you can come back anytime. Oh, it's getting late, and I have work to do at home, so I won't keep you here any longer.

Wait until next time. Next time you come, Fourth Uncle will treat you well and invite you to Deyue Tower for a good meal."

As he said that, he asked the boy to get half a dollar and give it to Fu Erbai.

Fu Dabai and Fu Sanbai looked at Fu Erbai who was still thanking his fourth uncle and didn't bother to pay attention to him. They turned around and left, not forgetting to pull Fu Sibai along.

After leaving the house, Fu Erbai was thinking about buying a piece of soft cotton cloth for his daughter to make clothes.

A few people had no choice but to follow him to the cloth shop again.

After buying the cloth, I went home.

Considering that he is his brother after all, Fu Fu Da Bai still told Fu Er Bai:

"Second brother, we'll be home soon, be obedient and don't talk back even if you get beaten or scolded.

We are a decent family, there is no way we can go to a brothel to find work."

Fu Erbai was not very willing to mutter:

"Didn't Big Brother work in a casino before?"

Fu Dabai: ...

Fu Sanbai was watching the fun with a brick in his pocket and he almost laughed out loud.

Fu Dabai waved his hands in anger:

"Go away! How old was I then? If I fooled around for a few years, people would at most say I was young and ignorant!

Look at you now, you are already 25 years old and have several children. I would have thought you were old and rebellious and wanted to become a rascal!"

Fu Erbai said sullenly, "You are already 27 years old, and you still meet those scoundrels from the surrounding villages from time to time."

Fu Dabai: ...Can we live like this? You have to expose me, don't you?
