Lu Tianyu could hardly believe his ears. How could Zhao Di do this? She sent him to do odd jobs in the kitchen while she went upstairs to drink tea with that lecherous young master Zhao. He couldn't stand it anymore!
Ignoring Shunzi's advice, Lu Tianyu chased after him, but before he could even reach the top of the stairs, he was stopped by Afu and another employee.
Lu Tianyu glared at them and said, "Are you two blind? I dare to stop you!"
Afu said respectfully, "I'm sorry, brother, we're stopping you. My sister said you can't go up there!"
"You ungrateful wretches, I've given you plenty of benefits!" Lu Tianyu said irritably.
Afu wasn't intimidated and said directly, "Brother, we brothers remember your kindness, but how can your paltry sums compare to my sister's? My sister supports our family. By the way, my sister said you have to peel all those potato skins in the kitchen, or pack your bags and leave. Juxianlou doesn't keep idle people!"
Lu Tianyu was so angry he almost exploded on the spot: "You...you guys are really something!"
Shunzi thoughtfully reminded him, "My sister said no one can help you. Anyone who helps you will be punished along with you. Good luck, bro!"
Lu Tianyu's heart was bleeding. Yesterday's self-inflicted injury and heartfelt confession had convinced him that Zhao Di was completely moved by him, and he was sure she would treat him even better today.

As a result, she was forced to do hard labor while injured, and no one was allowed to help her. That was bad enough, but she actually drank tea with a man surnamed Zhao in a private room. It was simply outrageous.
But he dared not disobey. In the current situation, if he did not behave himself, Zhao Di might really kick him out. Now that he was leaving, wouldn't that Zhao fellow take advantage of the situation and get the first taste of the moon from the water tower?
For his wife's sake, he has to endure this!
Lu Tianyu arrived at the kitchen looking miserable. The workers there immediately understood and carried over a huge bag of potatoes, politely saying to Lu Tianyu, "Brother, your sister asked you to peel these potatoes!"
Lu Tianyu said angrily, "You know how to call me 'brother,' so why don't you carry a smaller bag!"
The man suppressed a laugh and said, "Brother, this is the smallest bag we have. Sister is so good to you. When I first came here, I had to cut three bags a day!"
Lu Tianyu was so angry that he didn't want to speak anymore. He said impatiently, "Get the hell out of here. I've seen it clearly now. You all keep calling me 'brother,' but in reality, you're all in cahoots with Zhao Di."
The guy was quick-witted too, and immediately said with a smile, "Brother, what are you saying? Of course we're on my sister's side! Aren't you on my sister's side too?"
Lu Tianyu was speechless.
The man flipping the wok added fuel to the fire, saying, "Brother, hurry up! If you can't keep up with the demand, it'll affect the serving of the dishes, and my sister will get angry!"

Lu Tianyu sighed, realizing how naive and foolish he had been. He had thought that by living and sleeping with these heartless people and receiving subsidies, they were already his people. Turns out, he was the clown himself!
Helpless, he picked up the knife and began clumsily peeling the potatoes.
It's not easy to find a wife, there's nothing I can do but endure it!
But he felt really bad. He thought that Zhao was a blockhead who would back down after suffering a loss, but he didn't expect him to be no good either. He hoped that Zhaodi wouldn't be led astray by him.
However, peeling potatoes wasn't entirely useless. Lu Tianyu was used to being waited on hand and foot and always took everything for granted. Today, he finally realized that he couldn't even do something as simple as peeling potatoes properly.
The quick-witted waiter was constantly attending to him, exclaiming in surprise, "Brother, are you peeling this or chopping it up? There's only the core left! Do you think potatoes are free?!"
A moment later, he urged again, "Brother, are you going to keep cutting until the monkey month or the horse month? The guests' wine is getting cold!"
Lu Tianyu threw down the knife and said defiantly, "If you're so good, then you do it!"
The worker said unwillingly, "Do you think I don't want to? Watching you work is much more tiring than doing it myself, but I said I can't help you!"
"Then shut up!" Lu Tianyu was already furious with the potato and had no way to vent his anger!

Lu Tianyu was starving when lunchtime finally arrived. As one delicious dish after another was served, he swallowed hard and couldn't resist any longer. He reached out to grab a piece, but his hand was suddenly struck hard by a stick.
Lu Tianyu said irritably, "You can't just make the oxen pull the cart without letting them eat grass. Are you running a shady business?"
Zhao Di said coldly, "Young Master Lu, who is it that's crying and shouting to come to my shady inn? The door is open, so please don't come back!"
Lu Tianyu felt incredibly unlucky; how could she have overheard him? He quickly smiled and said, "You're finally safe! You and that Young Master Zhao haven't been chatting all this time, have you?"
Zhao Di said noncommittally, "Of course, Young Master Zhao is as gentle and refined as jade, making people feel as if they are bathed in a breeze. I'll invite him to dine with us and prepare a few hearty dishes for him!"
Lu Tianyu clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles felt like they were about to break, but he still managed a standard fawning smile: "Let's eat together then, I'm starving too!"
Zhao Di looked Lu Tianyu up and down and said, "Young Master Lu, what brings you here?"
"Working!" Lu Tianyu said without any warning.
"I've peeled over a dozen potatoes this morning, and you still want to eat? Peel them properly, or I'll slap you!" Zhao Di suddenly roared like a shrew.
"Zhao Di, you can't mistreat your employees like this!" Lu Tianyu protested.
口口五六三七四三六七五
"Did I mistreat you? If you're unhappy, you can leave. I'll pay you half a month's salary!" Zhao Di asked the workers.
"My sister is so good to us!" Those people naturally showered her with compliments.
Zhao Di said gently, "Young Master Lu, it seems you're the only one who's leaving!"
"Whoever leaves is a coward. It's just peeling potatoes, I'll peel them to death!" Lu Tianyu went back to his seat and obediently started peeling potatoes.
Even so, Zhao Di deliberately provoked Lu Tianyu by instructing the chef, "Young Master Zhao can't eat spicy food, so please make it a little milder!"
Lu Tianyu could only vent his anger on the potatoes, muttering to himself, "They know other people's tastes in just three days, this is just too outrageous!"
"Does Young Master Lu have any objections?" Zhao Di asked!
"No, this potato looks pretty smooth and nice, but it's all black inside. I was just saying that casually!" Lu Tianyu didn't even look up; he was extremely annoyed!
Zhao Di ignored him, gave some instructions to the kitchen staff, and left.
Lu Tianyu could only watch helplessly as Zhao Di left. He didn't want Zhao Di to look down on him. Since he had said he would work here, he had to show some respect.

Lu Tianyu's hands were broken from peeling, and his back ached from sitting for so long, but he finally finished peeling the sack of potatoes.
After finishing his work, he couldn't wait to go out and find Zhao Di. He found her busy looking at the account books and not with Young Master Zhao, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
She went to find Afu and asked him anxiously, "What did Zhaodi and that Zhao fellow talk about? When did he leave?"
Ah Fu said, "Sister Zhao Di said that we waiters can only hear the customers' requests; otherwise, we're deaf!"
Lu Tianyu lost his temper and said angrily, "Don't try that on me, or I'll slap you!"
Seeing that Lu Tianyu was truly angry, Afu dared not play tricks anymore and hurriedly said, "Brother, don't be angry. It's not that I didn't want to tell you, but Sister Zhaodi wouldn't let us go up either. What could I do?"
However, they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation. When Sister Zhao Di saw Young Master Zhao off, she had such a radiant smile! —Qianqian Xiaoshan
Lu Tianyu felt a chill run down his spine. How did things turn out like this? Although Zhao Di was cold and aloof towards him before, she only got angry at him. She ignored anyone else who tried to take advantage of her. This Zhao guy is not easy to deal with!
Shunzi came over with a worried look on her face and said, "Brother, this problem is a bit serious. Our sister hasn't laughed like this in a long time. You have to step up your game!"
Ah Fu also said, "That's right, Sister Zhao Di has never been like this before. She doesn't want anyone to serve her when she eats. And I heard her say that she's having Young Master Zhao come tomorrow!"

"What? She's coming again tomorrow? This is outrageous! She made me do all the hard labor in the kitchen while she chatted and laughed with other men. I gritted my teeth and tolerated it today, but she even invited him to come again tomorrow. I'm going to have a good talk with her today!" Lu Tianyu stormed downstairs, determined to settle accounts with Zhao Di.
Shunzi and Afu were scared half to death, but it was too late to pull them!
