Chapter 49: Beaten, Injured, Counted as Work Injury

Wuu, how pitiful…

An Jiu wiped tears at the side.

Shi Lin's face darkened, and he kicked over, saying, "Do you even look like a Dark Guard? Who cries all day like you?"

He really loses face.

What bad luck, running into these weird Dark Guards.

If they weren't still useful at work, I'd really want to dump them somewhere.

An Jiu dodged, unwilling to answer him.

"Master, I don't cry all day; I only cry a few days."

Qiao Sheng snorted with laughter.

An Jiu looked over.

Qiao Sheng immediately said, "Keep crying, don't mind me; I just thought of something funny and couldn't help laughing."

An Jiu, tears streaming, said, "Miss, I do tend to cry, but I'm not stupid."

He couldn't tell why she was laughing.

Qiao Sheng laughed again, "Sorry, I really can't help it."

Xiao Shitou also couldn't help laughing.

"Mom, I've never seen an uncle like this before; he's so hilarious I don't even want to cry!"

Qiao Sheng rubbed Xiao Shitou's head and said, "If you don't want to cry, don't; if you want to cry, do. People shouldn't bottle up their feelings; when it's time to vent, you should vent."

"Miss, you're right!"

An Jiu wholeheartedly agreed with Qiao Sheng's words; seeing her made him feel like he'd found a kindred spirit.

Shi Lin shouted, "Shut up and stay outside; don't come in unless I call you."

An Jiu pursed his lips and walked out.

Suddenly he thought of something.

He stopped and said, "Master, you haven't paid us last month's wages, and this month is almost over; when will you pay? Are you out of money?"

Shi Lin: "……"

Does he think his face hasn't lost enough today?

Shi Lin said, "Do you think I'm out of money? All you do is daydream; do your work, or I'll dock your pay!"

After hearing him finish.

An Jiu murmured, "I was wondering why you don't pay us, Master; turns out you think deducting our money means you don't have to pay wages…"

Shi Lin felt like beating him up.

He dragged An Jiu out, moving at breakneck speed.

Xiao Shitou worriedly said, "Mom, Uncle Shi, are you going to beat him?"

"It's fine; if he gets beaten and injured, it counts as a work injury, he'll pay."

Qiao Sheng deliberately raised her voice.

An Jiu's eyes lit up upon hearing that.

Shi Lin's face darkened, even darker than before.

Less than half an hour.

Shi Lin walked in from outside, saying, "Qiao Sheng, if you don't oppose me, are you just being difficult?"

"Saying that, how can you not let people speak the truth?"

Qiao Sheng raised her eyebrows and asked him.

Shi Lin was left speechless.

Qiao Sheng brought a wooden basin and placed it before Shi Lin, saying, "Since you're staying for a meal, help out. These are fish, you know them? Please clean them all out, removing the guts and gills."

It's not that she doesn't know they're edible.

But she doesn't like eating them.

Shi Lin picked up the basin and headed out, then summoned An Jiu: "What are you staring at? Come help me clean these fish."

He doesn't know how; can An Jiu not know either?

An Jiu didn't start right away but bargained with Shi Lin.

"Master, I've helped clean the fish. Can I eat them later? If I can, I'll start; if not, you do it yourself."

Which family's Dark Guard behaves like this?

His family's Dark Guard!

Shi Lin deeply regretted making that choice; he thought they'd follow him wholeheartedly, treating them well in every way, but it turned out like this.

"Alright, I'll give you some fish to eat later."
