Chapter 53 Chapter 53
Recently, Youmi has stopped setting up stalls as he has too many things to do, so he has handed over most of the decision-making power of the Lamb Chef Team to Mei Kai.
Lin En wants to concentrate on studying medicine with Ye Xi and only helps out when he is free. Now the main owners of the stall are Mei Kai, Harvey and A Luo.
Although there were fewer people, their presence was not reduced. With the support of Yang Xiuluo, no one in the market dared to mess with them. Mei Kai and his two friends would occasionally see others fighting and would try to stop them, and both sides would give them some face. Therefore, it can be seen that they are already well-known stall owners in the market.
On the farm, Yumi clicks away on his calculator every day. He has made a lot of money from setting up a stall, which makes him feel more at ease. With income, he no longer has to worry about running out of money.
Ansius was not idle either. In order to expand Yumi's business, he used some unknown means to get an alien-made super-large truck from the town. It was really huge!
Yumi looked around the truck for a long time, her eyelashes fluttering with excitement, and climbed up the ladder. It felt like she was not standing on a car, but on the top of a mountain!
Ansius quickly carried down Yumi, who was trembling from the wind, and modified the ladder of the truck that day. The gap in the ladder was too big for Yumi. If Yumi missed a step, she would definitely fall through the gap.
That's dangerous!
After solving the problem of the truck ladder, Yumi often climbed on the truck to overlook the entire farm. He couldn't help sneezing, feeling that it was lonely at high places.
It’s really cold on this garbage planet in winter.
Seeing that he liked staying up there, Ansius added guardrails and a small awning on the top of the truck, and placed a small table, chairs, and a pile of warm blankets... The top of the truck became Yumi's secret base.
When the weather was good, he would put away the awning and lie on the lazy sofa made for him to bask in the sun. When he felt hot, he would press a button and the awning would rise again. The little man would turn over, reach out to grab a handful of jerky and eat it with his eyes closed, feeling that life was wonderful.
When she was not so lazy, Yumi would sit on the roof of the car with Anxius who had transformed back into human form to watch over the prisoners.
To be precise, it was Yumi who was staring at the prisoner, while Ansius was making milk tea, peeling nuts, cutting meat jerky, and then feeding them to Yumi one by one.
Yumi was so full that she burped. It felt like they were treating the big truck as a camping RV~
How comfortable!
A few days passed like this. Seeing that the prisoners were becoming more and more obedient, Yumi counted his savings on the Garbage Planet and prepared to go to the town to purchase supplies.
The main list this time is: sewing machines, basketballs, footballs and related sports equipment.
When the prisoners are released from prison, they can use the sewing machines themselves, and maybe even open a small store to sell clothes.
As for sports equipment, Youmi plans to build a sports field based on his impression of a prison, in the open space near the farm, so that the prisoners can get some fresh air and promote friendly communication among them.
And there is a group of young men at home who will never let the sports field go idle.
Of course, he himself also wants to exercise. He is so lazy, greedy and sleepy all day long, it must be because he hasn’t exercised for too long!
The next morning, Yumi went out with Ansius.
Both of them were wearing large cloaks, covering themselves tightly.
Ansius drove in his original form while Yumi sat high in the passenger seat, taking pictures of the scenery outside. It was his first time in town.
The town on the Garbage Planet was different from the towns that Yumi had in mind. It was very large, and its area was more like that of a city, but the various buildings and facilities were very simple and old.
However, there are still buildings such as hospitals, schools, and shopping malls. The hospitals are ordinary small hospitals, and the schools are not the kind that teach people knowledge, but various technical schools. Most of the school principals are aliens, and there are also exiled Sna people who come here to be teachers.
Doctors like Ye Xi should have made a living by doing similar work.
The schools here are very popular. Graduates of the Garbage Alien Society have acquired skills and no longer have to live a life of hunting and farming. They can also settle down in the town if they have a job. Those who can afford it will send their children here to go to school.
As for the mall, it is like a large wholesale market, with junk star bosses of different appearances busy sorting out goods, and customers bargaining and leaving if they are not satisfied. Conflicts in the market rarely occur here, after all, the bosses who can enter the shopping center to set up stalls or open stores must find someone to take care of them before coming.
To put it simply: The reason I can do business here is because I have connections above me, and maybe he is the same boss from the same faction as you are. You can't find any trouble with him, and most likely they will fight against their own people!
While shopping, Yumi followed Ansius to learn in depth about the survival rules of the Garbage Star Town, and carefully took notes in his little notebook.
The shopping went smoothly, and they bought five sewing machines and the rest of the items on the list. The truck was packed to the top.
They bought some delicious food to finish off the trip, and finally the two of them got in the car, and Ansius turned the car around and went home!
On the way back, Youmi was carrying a plastic bag and rummaging through it for something to eat. He had only had noodle soup in town for lunch, and he was a little hungry after a busy day.
Yumi found a small loaf of bread, which was imported from Sna Star and was considered a relatively expensive food. At that time, he saw some wealthy people from the Garbage Star with gold and silver all over their bodies rushing to buy it, and he judged that this bread must be very good, so he also bought one for everyone in the family to relieve their homesickness.
At this moment, Yumi took out two small loaves of bread, and seeing that Ansius was driving, she tore one open and ate it.
The bread was soft and sweet, not greasy at all, and had a good taste and texture. He ate it very contentedly. He licked his fingers after finishing it, then tore open the second bread. Just as he opened his mouth to take a bite, he remembered in time that it was Antheus's.
"Antheus, here." Yumi quickly put the small bread to his mouth, with a guilty look in his eyes, praying that the other party did not see that he was only concerned about his own greed at that time.
"You eat first." Antheus glanced at him.
"I've already eaten." Yumi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ansius didn't see her trying to eat his bread.
After a while, Ansius parked the truck steadily on the side of the road. He took the small piece of bread that Yumi had torn open, sniffed it carefully, lowered his head and put it in front of Yumi's mouth: "Eat."
Yumi: ...You're trying to seduce me.
Yumi, who was already addicted to the bread, couldn't say no. He opened his mouth embarrassedly and took a small bite.
After one bite after another, Yumi ate half of the bread with tears in her eyes, and then she turned her head away with her strong willpower: "You eat it, I'm full."
Ansius took back half of the bread, took a bite following Yumi's saliva, and fed the rest into Yumi's mouth again. The whole action was done in one go, and Yumi had no time to react.
"..." Yumi sat upright, chewing the bread in her mouth, trying to look serious as if saying "I'm not greedy, I'm just not picky about food."
The truck started moving again.
In the driver's seat, the monster who was spying on the villain with one eye was in a good mood.
After returning to the farm and resting for a night, Yumi began to arrange the equipment he had purchased.
Five sewing machines were not many, so Yumi picked up the blueprint and made some plans, then led everyone to tidy up another vacant house, placing the sewing machines, as well as the cloth blueprints and other materials that were purchased together, in it.
Yumi himself doesn't know how to use a sewing machine, but it is definitely possible to learn it. He remembers that a classmate had a sewing machine at home. That classmate loved handcrafts and taught himself to make a lot of things. Yumi had a canvas crossbody bag that the other classmate made for him as a birthday gift using a sewing machine.
Yumi turned on the optical computer and projected the downloaded sewing machine beginner's guide on the wall, letting some prisoners sit and watch while others practiced with him. The prisoners who had learned could not be taught. There were limited sewing machines, so the prisoners were divided into two groups, taking turns to use them every day. Those who could not use the sewing machines went out to help Anxius build the sports field.
In just a few days, the prisoners with strong concentration can master the sewing machine. Compared with other labors, they like sewing machines the most! This is a creative labor. In order to motivate them, Yumi will give them a piece of cloth every day and let them create freely after completing the work. Naturally, the things they make belong to them.
Soon, each of them had a small wallet made by themselves. Although they didn't have money to put in it now, they could use it after they were released from prison. How could the cloth bag wallets they usually bought be better than the ones they made themselves? Now they can DIY according to their own needs! They can even make the styles that only the big guys in town wear!
The prisoners who had not been beaten by the assembly line thought that operating the sewing machine was too much fun, which led to the first underground transaction among prisoners in the Lamb Farm Prison:
"Brother, I'll give you my portion of jerky today. Don't come and replace me tomorrow. Let me work on the sewing machine all day, okay?"
"Oh well, my feet just got tired, you're lucky."
Thinking that the prisoners were planning to escape from prison, Yumi, who was eavesdropping behind the wall, said: "..."
The first batch of clothes the prisoners made with sewing machines were blue and white striped prison uniforms. After washing and drying them in the sun, they all put them on happily and commented on them to each other.
Carl: ...Do you really know that those are prison uniforms?
With the prison uniforms, the prisoners seemed to have a sense of belief: they were indeed serving their sentences, and when their sentences were over, Boss Xiaoyang would not seek revenge on them, and they could have a brand new life!
Just thinking about it makes me motivated!
Yumi couldn't let them just focus on making sewing machines, so she would take them to a nearby blacksmith to learn blacksmithing every few days... The blacksmith was naturally happy to get free labor.
A few days later, the powerful prisoners made the first batch of handcuffs under Yumi's guidance.
Carl: ...eat some meat jerky to calm your nerves.
The prisoners don’t think of these handcuffs as being for their own use at all. As the day of their release is getting closer and closer, they think it’s better to save the handcuffs for the next batch of prisoners.
After making the handcuffs, everyone began to concentrate on building the sports field.
The prisoners did not dare to be lazy in this regard and worked very quickly to meet the deadline, fearing that the sports field would not be completed by the time they were released from prison. Wouldn't that be making things difficult for others?
After taking a shower at night, the prisoners began to discuss the progress of the construction site enthusiastically. They would argue over different construction opinions, and fall asleep angrily after the quarrel. Only in a daze did they realize something belatedly: being in prison is like going to school. Not only did they learn how to sew using a sewing machine, they even learned how to do construction ironwork!
Oh my god, I feel like it’s a waste of all my skills to set up a stall outside.
…
Yumi now has more and more things to do. In addition to monitoring the prisoners, he is also concentrating on planning the farm.
Spring is coming, and there are many things to plant and raise some animals. What should I raise?
All of these need to be carefully planned.
Now that the playground is basically completed, the prisoners can go there to play for an hour every day. Their sense of happiness has improved, and they can sew faster on their sewing machines.
When Yumi has nothing to do, she will go and play basketball, but she can't dunk the ball, and is often picked up by Anxius who has changed back to his original form and lifted in front of the basketball hoop.
Yumi narrowed her eyes and threw it in tremblingly.
Anyway, it’s a goal!
The prisoners watching from a distance: "..."
That day, Ansius was about to go out to town, and before leaving, he asked Yumi if there was anything she wanted.
Yumi knew that the candies were cheaper there, so she asked Ansius to bring some back.
That night, Ansius really brought back a lot of candies, as well as the small bread he bought last time. In addition, there was actually a big cake with a lot of strawberries on it.
Yumi was dumbfounded when she saw the cake: "Whose birthday is it?"
"Should we ask who likes cake?" Carl said with a smile, "No one is celebrating their birthday today."
Yumi was stunned, and Ansius looked at him softly.
Did Antheus buy it for him?
"..." Yumi was very happy, "Thank you Ansius!" The cakes here are very expensive, he couldn't afford to buy them last time.
After dinner in the evening, Yumi started cutting the cake and sharing it. In addition to sharing it with everyone, he also left some for the prisoners.
The prisoners, who were about to go to bed, were stunned for a moment when they saw the small cakes being delivered. The second one among them remembered the criminal investigation film he had watched not long ago and subconsciously muttered, "Are we going to the guillotine?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the prisoners immediately moved away from the cake, their bodies shaking like sieves.
"You don't like cake?" Yumi was surprised. "If you don't want to eat it, I'll take it away."
"…Why are you suddenly giving us this?" the eldest brother asked timidly.
"Because we bought a cake today." Yumi didn't understand why they reacted like this. Sharing a cake was very normal in his eyes. Whether it was a birthday or a celebration, wasn't the cake shared by a group of people?
After a brief silence, the eldest brother, attracted by the sweet smell, took the lead. He took a small piece of cake and ate it with bated breath.
Seeing that the boss didn't get poisoned after eating it, the others also tried to take their own portion and tasted it carefully...
After dividing the cake, Yumi left.
And in the house, crying sounds gradually came.
"So sweet, so delicious... woooo..."
"So this is what life feels like..."
"Boss Xiaoyang is such a nice guy, woooooo... Boss, I want to follow him."
"Get lost, I'm not even qualified, what the hell do you want?"
“…”
The tough guys ate the cake and cried: Is this the feeling of having your soul cleansed in a legal film? So touching!
This unprecedented feeling deeply touched the tough guys' hearts, causing them to hide behind trees and secretly wipe away their tears while working on the farm the next day: their previous lives were really wasted! Fortunately, they can start over! Woohoo…
It just so happened that a hunter lived not far from the farm. He passed by the farm after hunting and wanted to go to the lamb chef team to order some leek dumplings. However, when he got closer, he saw a group of burly men wiping their tears and looking pitiful... The man thought some kind of punishment was going on inside and turned and ran away in fear.
The next day, the news spread to the market, further proving the terrifying power of Boss Xiaoyang.
During this time, a few troublemakers in the market came to the farm to pick a fight. They didn't go to save people, but simply felt that their power was challenged. In order to maintain their position as the market's big brother, they rushed to the farm with their weapons in hand...
The result was several new inmates added to the farm.
Nowadays, everyone in the market knows that the consequence of provoking Yang Xiuluo is that there is no return!
Spring has not yet arrived, and because of Yang Shura's terrifying existence, no one in the surrounding area dares to take the lead anymore.
In a few days, the hunky men running the meat jerky stalls will be released from prison.
Yumi prepared to ask someone to notify the criminals' families to come and pick them up in time, but the families' addresses were a problem because the prisoners were hesitant and obviously didn't want to say.
Finally, under Ansius's death gaze, he confessed honestly.
The reason why he didn't want to talk about it was very simple. Embarrassment was one of the reasons, but the main reason was that he felt that the family members should have given up on these troublemakers.
In the past, they were able to act arrogantly just because they were good at fighting. No one dared to mess with these people when they were young and energetic. But once they became sick, old, or abandoned by the powers that be, all their enemies would come to them. Not only would they die miserably, but their families would also stay away from them as soon as possible to protect the next generation.
Yumi wrote several notices by hand that day and asked Carl, who served as her assistant, to deliver the notices.
Carl went to the addresses given by the prisoners one by one and delivered the notices.
The prisoners' families did not leave their original residence, but they were frightened when they saw strangers knocking on the door at first. Only after Carl said in a kind voice that he was just notifying them to go to the prison to pick up the prisoners in time did they come out half-believingly.
The family composition of the Garbage Planet is quite complicated. Most of the time, they just live together when they fall in love with each other. Flash marriages are quite frequent. This is the case with that group of local tyrants. Their families may not be as domineering, but they will not interfere too much in their partner's affairs. After all, the law of the jungle prevails here, and everyone is used to fighting.
There are also those who are afraid of being retaliated against in the future and hope that their family members will live a low-key life. However, if the original intention is not strong enough, it is useless to stop them with words.
Therefore, when the people at the meat stall in the market got into trouble some time ago, their families were not so surprised when they were sad. You hit me and I hit you. This kind of drama is often played out here. If you are not good enough, you will be "eaten". Who made them choose this path?
Later I heard that he was just locked up, but I didn't feel too relieved. The forces in some places locked people up for life, gave them only a little feed a day, squeezed their rest time, and finally worked them to death. It would be better to just kill them directly.
Although these family members did not leave their original residence, they had already given up on these unreasonable husbands/sons/brothers in their hearts and never thought that the one at home would have a chance to get out.
I never thought I would receive such a notice.
The person did not die, nor did he become a slave. Instead, he was put in prison. He had three regular meals a day, and after working, he had time to rest, exercise, play, and even read books and watch videos... My God, someone educates the troublesome spouse at home for them without paying any money?
Not only that, after hearing this gentleman's words that they could still visit the prison, they were already in a daze... After all, they were family, it was impossible for them not to have the slightest bit of reluctance, and in order to find out the truth, a group of family members decided to pick a day and go over together to take a look.
On the day of the prison visit, they were greeted by a handsome boy in a white cloak. He had sheep's horns, his eyes were twinkling, and his smile was meaningful... In short, that face was very bewitching.
Several people looked at each other and realized that this person was Lord Yang Xiuluo.
The camouflage ability was indeed very strong, and they were so scared that their legs went weak and they didn't dare to breathe deeply in front of Yumi.
They followed Lord Yang Xiuluo and peeked through the window at the macho man pedaling the sewing machine inside, then looked at other places to see the macho man fertilizing and watering the vegetable garden, and the macho men playing ball together on the sports field...Finally, they looked at the macho man Banban who was sitting and watching alien law programs and movies.
Family members: Scratching their heads.
Seeing their previously arrogant family members living honestly here, some people even doubted that they had made a mistake and kept rubbing their eyes... and then sighed.
In the evening, under Yumi's arrangement, the prisoners and their families began to chat across the wooden fence of the vegetable garden.
Family members: Reform yourself well, my children and I will wait for you to come out. (Seeing that you are quite good at farming, the abandoned fields at home will be handed over to you in the future.)
The prisoners on the other side of the wooden fence nodded one after another. In fact, they couldn't help crying when they learned that their family members had not abandoned them.
I used to be able to go home anytime and never felt homesick, but after living behind bars, I realized how precious home is. Of course, the main reason is that I was jealous of the farm family who loved each other every day!
Fortunately, their family was very nice and came to visit them bringing new clothes.
After all, in order to survive, the garbage aliens are often more like real beasts. Useless people will be despised and abandoned. These people really didn't expect that their families would come to visit these wastes who got into trouble and couldn't bring any help to their families during their sentences.
...Wow, I shouldn't have caused trouble in the first place. It would be so nice to have a wife, children and a warm bed!
But it’s okay now, they are more clearly aware of how dangerous the past days were.
In the past, people like them almost never had a good ending.
Macho men: I didn’t have a choice before, but now I just want to be a good person!
Similarly, the tough guy's family was also very moved. It was impossible for them not to be happy and relieved that he survived the fight and learned a lot of skills.
Under the orange sunset, with the night breeze blowing on his face, little Yumi stood on the top of a truck overlooking the farm prison, and once again experienced what it meant to be lonely at the top, until someone came up and covered him with a thick blanket... The blanket was so big that it almost wrapped him up!
It's really warm though, thanks!
Yumi only showed his head. He smiled at Ansius behind him, turned his head and continued to look at the people not far away, leaving Ansius with only his fat and bulging back.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the prisoners waved goodbye to their family members who looked back every three steps. Seeing their family members’ smiles, they felt their souls cleansed again!
I believe this day will be an unforgettable day for both the prisoners and their families.
