Fu Bajin had no reason to refuse, two more people helping out would be good, but he looked at Fang Haitang with some worry, "You... can you do it?"

"Don't underestimate people, can you?" Fang Haitang said stubbornly.

"Okay, then follow me."

Fu Bajin walked two steps and found that Fu Tianfu hadn't followed up, "Tianfu, what are you doing standing there? Come on."

Fu Tianfu looked at Fu Jiujiu reluctantly, "Uncle Eight, can I play with my little aunt for a while?"

"No, get to work quickly."

Fu Tianfu let out a long, mournful wail to the heavens. Why was his life so full of hardship?

Hot Springs Inn.

After a batch of customers arrived, Zhou Baoshan leisurely walked in. As soon as he came in, he asked Liang Dong, his fellow clerk, to pour him a glass of milk.

"It's not Zhou Baoshan, we're both partners. What right do you have to order me around? Besides, that milk is for the customers."

Liang Dong, following in the footsteps of his father Liang Dacheng, remained straightforward and respectful even when aware of Zhou Baoshan's identity. Unlike some others who fawned over Zhou Baoshan, he maintained a level of decorum.

Zhou Bao Shan immediately became furious, "Liang, you dare to compare yourself to me? This manor belongs to my sister's brother-in-law, it's just like mine. If you want something done, just do it quickly!"

Someone came over to persuade Liang Dacheng to swallow his pride and not clash with Zhou Baoshan. No matter how bad he was, he was still the boss's younger brother.

The daughter-in-law of the Fu family wouldn't reason with them, these outsiders.

What are you looking at? If you don't leave, I'll tell my third sister and she'll make sure you can't stay here.

"Don't do it, Dǒngzi. A real man can bend but not break," someone advised.

Liang Dong wasn't afraid of Zhou Baoshan, he could just quit if things got bad. But his family had always gotten along well with the Fu family, and he didn't want to make things awkward between them because of this. He felt sorry for Uncle Fu.

"Wait."

Zhou Baoshan was even more pleased with himself. When Liang Dong brought him a bowl of milk, he took the bowl but accidentally poured it on Liang Dong's head.

The milk flowed down Liang Dong's hair and onto his face, down his neck. Liang Dong was a tough guy too, his reason drowned out by the heat of the moment. With a single choke hold followed by a back throw, he slammed the other man to the ground.

If it weren't for someone pulling him back, Zhou Baoshan would have been beaten up badly.

"Dongzi, you can't do that, you can't."

"Tongzi, let go!"

Liang Dong was pulled away and wiped his face, "Such good things were wasted."

Zhou Baoshan also stood up with everyone's help, but he still wanted to hit Liang Dong. Everyone was afraid of him not because of his ability, after all, they all grew up together in Yangshuzhuang. Where would they let him hit Liang Dong?

He was held in place, unable to move.

"Alright, you little punk. Don't think you can get away with this."

Liang Dong took a deep breath, "If I don't get it done, so be it. I won't put up with your crap here anymore."

"Get out, get lost!"

If Liang Dong hadn't been considering the relationship between the Liang and Liang Fu families, he would have beaten Zhou Baoshan severely long ago. He left angrily.

Fu Dagjin just came in to look for the shop assistant, but there were people wanting to take a bath at the other end. How come no one was visible?

He entered the door, Liang Dong went out, and the two people bumped into each other.

"Brother Liang, you look overjoyed. What's the good news?"

"Da Jin, I can't do this anymore, I'm leaving." Liang Dong said, and before Fu Da Jin could react, he was gone.

Fu Dajin was stunned, looking at the others in the room, "What's going on here?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Baoshan, but no one spoke.

Zhou Baoshan waved his hand dismissively. "Brother-in-law, didn't he say he wouldn't do it? With money, who wouldn't want to?"

That's what it is, but Fu Dajin, though younger than Liang Dong, knew he wasn't someone who fished three days and rested two. He was always the first one to get to work, and that's how things have been these days.

"Da Jin, hurry up! The guests are calling for you," Zhou said.

The business was booming, with many customers. Fu Dagin was busy running around, thinking he would ask about it later after going home in the evening.

When Liang Dong got home at this time, his father Liang Dacheng would definitely ask him what happened. So Liang Dong told him everything.

Liang Dacheng frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "Son, I've been friends with your Uncle Bai for decades. You tell me, why did you just quit on a whim? This won't do. I have to go find Uncle Bai to apologize."

"Father, I'm not wrong again. It was Zhou Baoshan who was too much."

Liang Dacheng also knew, "Yes, but your Uncle Wan is not easy. He wants all the good things to happen to our village people. Even though my father can't help him, we can't cause him trouble."

"Think about how much they've helped us. Think about your wife, if it weren't for them, would she even be here now?"

Every time Liang Dong thought about his daughter-in-law almost being tricked, he would feel scared. "Father," he said, "I'm a grown man now, I don't need you to wipe my butt for me."

"Do you think I'd love to wipe your butt for you? Aren't you the strong one, like a bull with its horns up? Fine, I'll go."

The Fu family was originally harmonious, with the whole family taking care of their children, working, playing, and studying.

Under Fu Bajin's lead, the Fu family courtyard became a handicraft classroom. Fu Bajin led everyone in playing mahjong, while Fu Erjin made snacks and milk tea for these kids.

Liang Dacheng stood at the door of Fu's house, a little embarrassed to go in.

Still a little ball of milk, her eyes were sharp and she saw him hesitating at the door for a while. She took the initiative to call out to him, "Uncle Liang!"

"Chirp chirp, what are you playing? Oh oh, aren't these Erpang and Sanpang?"

"Big Brother Liang, what brings you here today?" Fu Baiman came out as soon as he heard the noise.

"Millions, I need to talk to you. Let's go somewhere else."

Fu Baiman immediately followed when he heard something was up, fearing that he might miss something important.

He heard that two boys were fighting, and the more he listened, the darker his face became.

"A million, our Dongan is young and spirited, I'm sorry for the trouble he caused you, wasting all this money out of kindness. I've already scolded him."

"Fu Baiman is not an unreasonable person, "Liang Gege, you don't need to scold the child, I know about this, I will have Dajin apologize to Dongzi later."

"No… I don't mean that. How could we possibly make Dajin apologize? It has nothing to do with him?"

That's settled.

The two old friends were red in the face outside,

not from anger, but from embarrassment because one of them wanted to apologize.

Fujujiao is holding one with her left hand, one with her right hand, and another one is grabbing her lapel from behind.

She didn't know why she was so popular. The three little ones wouldn't let go of her, even though there were three pendants on her. Nevertheless, she listened to the gist of it.

I knew Zhou Baoshan would definitely stir up trouble.

If he could actually do his job well, there would be a ghost.

That evening, when Fu Dajin came back, he was scolded by Fu Baimian right away.

Fu Dajin had never seen his father so angry, he was too scared to even breathe.

The little ones at home dare not speak.
