Chapter 317 Debt Settlement with Work (2/2)



Wuya and Liaochen were initially a little reluctant to let go, but Su Ji didn't have those concerns.

In just a few months, he had already become a member of the Lu family.

Su Ji kept serving food to the two of them without any hesitation, saying, "Master, senior brother, please eat more and don't be polite with them."

Lu Yi and the others aren't petty people; they'll only get upset if you're too formal.

Lu Yi and Ye Ran looked at him with smiles. Su Ji was right. "Yes! Don't be shy, eat first."

Su Ji happily served food to Wuya and Liaochen, saying, "I knew it! They are both good people. They have been taking care of me during my time here."

Liao Chen lifted his head from the bowl and looked at Su Ji curiously. "This time, my master and I came down from the mountain. It took us a lot of effort to find you."

How did you find them after coming down the mountain alone? Didn't you get lost? I remember you weren't very good at finding your way around.

Su Ji sighed and complained bitterly to his master and senior brother who had raised him since childhood, "Sigh! Don't mention it."

I made a terrible mistake back then. I came down the mountain all by myself and had no idea that everything down there cost money.

The first place I went down the mountain was a steamed bun shop. I was starving and just wanted to eat a steamed bun.

The owner said to me, "Young man, would you like some steamed buns? We have all kinds, eat as many as you like."

I immediately thought that meant they were going to treat me to steamed buns, so I ate a whole bowl of them in one go. The owner even told me that there would be more if I wasn't full.

In the end, I ate several more. After I finished eating, the owner told me I had to pay, but where would I get the money?

Since he didn't have anything presentable on him, he got a severe scolding from the boss.

In the end, I was kept on to work. I worked for a few days, but instead of making up for my debts, my work period was extended because I broke the boss's bowl.

Those present burst into laughter upon hearing Su Ji's words. "You said something like this? Why haven't we heard you mention it before?"

Lu Yi laughed until his stomach hurt, then grabbed Su Ji's shoulder and asked, "So what happened in the end? How did you get away from the steamed bun shop?"

Su Ji scratched his head. "I guess I was lucky. Back then, I heard that you couldn't just do business anywhere, so the steamed bun shop owner had to open it secretly."

Just then, someone came to inspect the place, so he quickly closed the door and let me leave.

But he didn't let me leave just like that. He took all the things I had with me, saying I was a jinx to him, and only then did he let me go.

Lu Yi burst out laughing, tears streaming down his face. "You're so lucky..."

Ye Ran looked at him curiously, "And then? How did you finally meet Zheng Fei?"

Speaking of this, Su Ji became even more frustrated, "After that, I started a long search with no money left!"

I had no money and didn't know how to do anything, so I thought I could try my luck going up the mountain and maybe I could find some fruit or something.

As soon as I got up the mountain, I encountered a tiger, which scared me so much that I jumped up into a nearby tree.

Lu Yi and Ye Ran were somewhat surprised at this point. "There's more to this story? Did you run off to the deep mountains?"

Su Ji nodded dejectedly, "That's right, but I accidentally got lost and ended up deep in the mountains."

Wuya and Liaochen, who were standing nearby, were also worried for him. "Fortunately! Buddha has the virtue of cherishing life and will not let you fall into a dead end."

The tree beside you is the help that Buddha is giving you.

It would have been better if this hadn't been brought up; the mere mention of it only intensified Su Ji's grief and indignation...
