Then he turned to look at the crowd outside, who seemed to be gathering their anger.
They haven't been able to convince themselves to do those other jobs yet.
Therefore, Lu Yuan knew that it wasn't time yet; it would be time for him to start preparing when they realized they needed to look for jobs.
When Lu's mother and Xiaoshan's mother were having lunch, the aroma of the food filled the house and wafted far and wide.
In stark contrast to them, the group of people in the square stood there, all starving.
A family was chatting and eating here, while a group of people stood in the wind outside, waiting for the person in charge of the worker recruitment event to arrive.
I've been waiting since 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., and still no one has come to manage this matter.
Although some of them had already asked, the replies they received were all things like "wait and don't cause trouble," which made them all feel a chill in their hearts.
They wouldn't do this at all if they weren't looking for food.
Before Lu Yuan and his family had finished eating, they sensed that something was happening outside.
He turned his head and glanced at her, and immediately saw Aunt Liu holding a child standing at the window, pointing outside.
"Look, the people in the square are coming this way."
Lu Yuan immediately put down his chopsticks and turned to look at it.
Sure enough, the people in the square, their faces contorted with anger, strode quickly toward them.
Seeing their reaction, Lu Yuan felt a surge of tension.
"Are these people planning to attack us? Get ready, I'm going to stop them!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan took a tissue to wipe his mouth and left the room.
However, he did not leave through the main gate, but instead left through the side gate.
This way, one can better highlight their image as a great philanthropist.
Lu Yuan found a hat at the construction site and strode towards them.
However, when Lu Yuan arrived, the workers had already surrounded their home.
Several representatives stood in front of the door, crying and pleading for a swift resolution to their employment problems.
The old man's behavior at this moment was simply infuriating.
He sat calmly in his room, sipping his wine and eating the side dishes in his bowl.
He didn't care at all about the complaints from the people outside, and even the deer's parents couldn't stand the old man's behavior.
Just then, someone suddenly took a step forward, and the guards began to tense up.
They were holding guns pointed at the person walking towards them.
"Go back! I'll let you go back!"
The person's face was filled with sadness.
"Chairman Lu, when are you finally going to let us work? Wasting even a day now is a loss, and we want to help you with your work!"
The old man gave a cold laugh.
"Are you trying to help me with my work or just getting yourselves something to eat? Don't get confused, our work isn't in a rush. Doing it today and doing it tomorrow will have about the same effect!"
The old man's words immediately enraged the people below, but they were still suppressing their anger.
"Chairman Lu, when will you be willing to let us work? We're really just here for food, that's all we want!"
"You promised to take us in and live with you, but now you've gone back on your word! This isn't right!"
"Oh, we promised you we'd take care of you? Who promised you that? Was it me? When did I promise you that?"
Upon hearing Old Master Lu deny the matter, everyone below was filled with anger.
Lu Yuan had said these words when he saved them, but he didn't expect that the old man would deny it.
"It was Mr. Lu at that time..."
The man's eyes immediately reddened as he spoke these words.
Suddenly, they remembered what Lu Yuan had done before. How good Lu Yuan had been to them back then. Now that Lu Yuan had just stepped down, their old man had done this. This comparison immediately highlighted how good Lu Yuan had been to them.
At that moment, Lu Yuan was originally planning to go up, but when he saw the old man making gestures to him, he immediately understood.
They hid behind a house in the distance, waiting for the old man's orders.
However, at that moment, a system notification sound suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Gained 10 Gratitude Points!]
[Gained 10 Gratitude Points!]
[Gained 10 Gratitude Points!]
...
The sudden system notification sound startled Lu Yuan for a moment.
Then he glanced in the distance.
The old man stood at the doorway, lecturing them one by one as if he were scolding children, listing all the wrong things they had done over the years.
The people below felt increasingly ashamed as they were being talked about, and they all lowered their heads and pounded their hands, not daring to utter a sound.
“You bunch of ingrates. Don’t you know how Lu Yuan treated you before? He was so good to you, so what’s wrong with you traitors doing some work?”
"If you're so picky and complain about everything, why don't you go and do it yourself!"
Everyone was speechless, and none of them dared to speak again. Seeing this, the old man immediately continued.
"And you lot can't tell good from bad, don't you have any magnanimity? Think carefully about how Lu Yuan treated you before!"
He does everything himself. Are you afraid of danger but we aren't? Lu Yuan is better than you, but does that mean he deserves to be on the front lines?
The old man launched into a long, rambling lecture about the people under him. They were so intimidated that they didn't dare to look him in the eye. When the old man finished speaking and felt that the time was almost up, he quietly gave Lu Yuan a wink.
At this moment, Lu Yuan quickly ran over from a distance. When he got closer, he saw that everyone had their heads down and hadn't even noticed him.
Lu Yuan coughed softly and went to the old man's side: "Grandpa, what's going on?"
The old man had a kind smile on his face and looked at Lu Yuan.
"You've worked so hard all these years, child. It's not worth it for these ungrateful wretches who have no tolerance whatsoever! Wouldn't it be better if we just quit and live our own lives?"
At this point, the old man suddenly gave Lu Yuan a wink.
Lu Yuan immediately raised his voice and said.
"Grandpa, this is different. These people are all our brothers. We can't abandon them. Don't worry about this. I'll take care of it!"
