The little guys couldn’t bear to get their new clothes and quilts dirty, so each of them extended their heads outside the bed and cried silently.
It’s an indescribable feeling, not sadness, very happy, but just wanting to cry...
It wasn’t until much later, when exhaustion hit them, that they wiped away their tears and snuggled into their quilts.
Feeling the warmth of the bedding, enjoying an unprecedented peace of mind, fatigue washed over them, and one by one, they slowly fell asleep.
In their dreams, tears still lingered at the corners of their eyes.
But... the corners of their mouths already had a smile.
...
Fang Che and the other three were sitting together drinking tea.
"Boss, I really thought you were so heartless, only taking the little girl and abandoning the others."
Qiu Yunshang laughed heartily.
Fang Che frowned and turned to ask Dongyun Yu and Feng Xiangdong: "Qiu Yunshang really believes that, do you two believe him?"
Feng Xiangdong: "Hehe..."
Dongyun Yu: "I never believed a word from Qiu Yunshang, that bastard!"
Qiu Yunshang: "... Damn you, Dongyun Yu! Can’t you clean up your language a bit?"
"Not convinced, huh?" Dongyun Yu squinted, "I, as Fourth Brother, am cursing you, what are you gonna do?!"
Qiu Yunshang originally wanted to join in the discussion with a few words, but now he was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he leapt forward: "Dongyun Yu, you wretched scum, get out here!"
Dongyun Yu shook his head and swaggered out: "Tsk, embarrassed to use the word ’bastard’, and yet you dare spar with ..."
They went out and started fighting.
Feng Xiangdong and Fang Che: "..."
"Boss, those nine little guys, we definitely can’t let Dongyun Yu teach them."
Feng Xiangdong said worriedly: "Better to miss what he has to offer than let him teach! Soone like him erging just once is enough to throw the world into chaos; if nine appear... I can’t even imagine it."
Fang Che shuddered: "This is indeed a problem! Dongyun Yu, that guy, should never be allowed to teach children. Good thing you pointed it out, Xiangdong, we almost let that bastard exploit a loophole."
Feng Xiangdong was instantly satisfied: "See, I always think things through thoroughly."
"Yes, except for being weak in strength, you’re good at everything else."
Fang Che praised him.
Feng Xiangdong’s chest tightened instantly and he felt stifled.
With a twisted expression, he glanced at Fang Che, gritting his teeth and sighing: "Actually... it doesn’t matter if Dongyun Yu teaches, because Boss Fang... you’re not much better than him. In terms of deeply hurting others, you’re worse!"
One sentence was like a knife directly stabbing into the heart, leaving Feng Xiangdong clutching his chest and rolling his eyes without catching his breath.
His train of thought was interrupted.
Finally, it was Fang Che who broke the silence: "So, what do you think we should do with these few little guys? You were moved, but you’ve also taken on so trouble. Xiangdong, since you are so thorough, think about it carefully. After all, your strength..."
Feng Xiangdong clutched his chest, gasping painfully, feeling suffocated: "... Shut up!"
Fang Che obediently shut his mouth: "I’m the boss, you’re the youngest, I listen to you. You say shut up, I shut up."
"..."
Feng Xiangdong groaned in pain: "I want to apply for a transfer..."
"Don’t transfer... if you go ho now, you might get beaten half to death, but if you actively apply for a transfer, you’ll probably get beaten to death completely when you go back."
Fang Che advised kindly: "Choose the lesser of two evils, brother. Anyway, now you’re already Lao Ba, and if you escape, dead or alive... you’d still be Lao Ba. Think about it, if you count backwards, you’re also the boss."
Feng Xiangdong stared hopelessly, clutching his chest, looking at Fang Che with resentnt. Fang Che took three breaths, but Feng Xiangdong still hadn’t caught his.
After a long while, he finally sighed deeply from the heart: "Boss Fang... in this lifeti, having you as a boss and Dongyun Yu as Fourth Brother, I’ve been jinxed for sixteen lifetis! Ah! Ah ah!"
"Listen to you being so emotional... one lifeti is enough, but you’re thinking sixteen lifetis... okay, in the future, we’ll accompany you for sixteen lifetis too."
"..."
Finally, Feng Xiangdong lay lifelessly on the chair, as if crushed by a hundred black-eyed white bears weighing tons of rice.
But he could still clearly think about and discuss issues with Fang Che.
Fang Che couldn’t help but admire: "Shi family’s son is truly part of an illustrious family, such excellent upbringing! Even after being hit so much, he could still attend to his duties, truly... not hit hard enough."
As they talked, Feng Xiangdong gradually recovered.
After all the blows he’d taken, he now transford into a resilient and unyielding person like an unbreakable cockroach.
On the contrary, he started to analyze Fang Che.
"Boss Fang, today’s maneuvers, I basically understand, but not clearly, could you elaborate?"
Fang Che smiled wryly: "At the start, I was sowhat impulsive."
"That much I noticed."
"But later, it wasn’t impulsive anymore."
"Oh, how so?"
"Initially, I was indeed touched and wanted to help them, but just taking in that little girl wasn’t a big deal. After all, your sister-in-law is lonely by herself now, having such an adorable little girl to accompany her would be nice. That was my plan."
"So I thought it was no big deal."
"Moreover, the little girl is indeed too exquisite; if she stayed in the beggars’ den any longer, her future wouldn’t be good, you and I both understand this, no need to elaborate."
"Mm."
Feng Xiangdong acknowledged.
"But later, I discovered that Ren Chun was indeed quite sensible, so I gave him a test. It was a test of character, you saw it."
"If he had agreed, I would have honored my word and taken him away. Then throw him back into the Fang Family, just to be a servant."
"But he didn’t agree."
"The precious thing is not that he didn’t agree, but his sense of gratitude. You understand."
"He was tempted, it was obvious, but he still refused. That made admire him a bit. But what truly moved was the persuasion from the other seven little guys."
