“Perfect! Let Yun Wansheng help us carry the stones. After he’s done, he can go home for dinner and then come back to help. It’ll be a good opportunity for him to show his filial piety…” Yun Duo’s voice lowered slightly as she said this: “It’ll be good for us to have one more person to work with, and we can also save on one person’s meals.”
Yun Duo smiled smugly, looking at Yun Dazheng with a pleading expression: "Grandpa, Grandpa, tell me, isn't Duo'er's idea great?"
Good my ass!
Yun Wansheng's face was as black as a fire poker that had been used for a long time, and his eyes were like two bright flames, he was just short of pointing at Yun Duo's nose and cursing.
You brat, what grudge do you hold against me? Aren't I, Yun Wansheng, your cousin? Why are you doing this to me?!
However, Yun Dazheng seemed oblivious to Yun Wansheng's grief and indignation, nodding seriously and saying, "Duo'er's idea is good. It's good to see if Wansheng really wants to change his ways and be a good person from now on, and stop being cunning and deceitful."
"However, I have never lifted stones before...never done any heavy work...How about this, let's ask the people who carry the stones to take care of me and have them carry lighter stones. When going uphill or downhill, let them remind him and teach him how to use his strength and how to save energy..."
At this point, Yun Dazheng paused slightly, nodded with a hint of smugness, and continued, "Perfect, it will also let others see that our young man has truly turned over a new leaf and reformed himself. It will also make it easier for him to find a wife in the future, so that he won't be rejected by the woman."
Then, he praised Yunduo again: "Duo'er is very thoughtful. Let's do it the way you said."
Seeing that Yun Dazheng was about to decide what work he would do in just a few words, Yun Wansheng was naturally unwilling. He also knew that if he didn't "fight" for it, he would probably have to go home dejectedly.
Yes, there's absolutely no way I'd go lift stones, not even if it meant death.
So, as soon as Yun Dazheng finished speaking, Yun Wansheng shouted loudly, "I disagree!"
"You disagree?" Yun Dazheng frowned and looked at Yun Wansheng with a slightly reproachful tone, saying, "You said you would help, but you disagree with the work I arranged for you. What are you trying to do?"
"Grandpa." Yun Wansheng tried hard to control himself so that his tone would sound normal and not resentful. He called out to Yun Dazheng and said, "People in operas say that a general should know how to appoint people to positions. You should do the same when you are building a house."
He paused, tapped his chest, and said, "Look at my physique, do I look like someone who can lift stones?"
"Same!" Before Yun Wansheng could finish speaking, Yun Duo deliberately shouted from the side, and at the end, she clenched her fist and waved it vigorously, cheering Yun Wansheng on: "Brother Wansheng, I believe in you, you can definitely do it!"
Yun Wan was so angry she nearly fell over backwards, but luckily she didn't utter a curse.
You wretched little brat! Just wait till I get my hands on you!
Despite his anger, Yun Wansheng maintained a facade of composure. He pretended not to hear Yun Duo's words, looked at Yun Dazheng with a slightly embarrassed expression, and continued, "Grandpa, although I'm not strong enough to do heavy work, you know... I used to be quite lazy... Of course, I'm definitely going to change that now. But, Grandpa, watching others work and preventing them from slacking off is my forte."
