South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"But Brother Mu, these two chickens cost several thousand dollars, and my pocket is a little tight. I haven't received my salary for this month yet." Wang Xin smiled embarrassedly.

Yuan Mu looked at Wang Xin speechlessly, then looked at Niu Dali.

"Brother Yuan, I don't have any expenses. One chicken can make do, and these two..." Niu Dali also smiled awkwardly.

Yuan Mu sighed and turned to look at Yao Yuling again.

"Brother Yuan, you knew before that I exchanged all the money for cloth coupons, otherwise I wouldn't have fainted." Yao Yuling pouted and lowered her head.

"Oh my god, you four are adults now. Even though you just started working not long ago, you still have to save money." Yuan Mu was speechless.

"What should we do? Brother Yuan, how about the three of us get a chicken together, and then I'll quietly put it into the pen at night, okay?" Niu Dali suggested.

"Is that what men do? Men do things in an upright manner. You didn't do it on purpose, and you didn't steal it from someone else's circle. What are you afraid of?"

"It's not scary to make mistakes. You have to have the courage to take responsibility for them. That's what a man should do. Do you understand, Dali?" Yuan Mu glared at him.

"Oh my god, Brother Yuan, you are such a man." Yao Yuling's eyes were full of stars.

When Niu Dali saw Yao Yuling like that, he immediately wanted to show off.

"Well, Brother Yuan and I think the same thing. A man should be upright. It's settled. Buy two. I will personally apologize to Brother Wu and Mrs. Wu later!"

"Then you pay for it?" Wang Xin glanced at him and said.

Niu Dali was instantly exhausted and hung his head. If he really had enough money in his pocket, he wouldn't mind showing off in front of Yao Yuling, but now he really had the will but not the ability.

"Well, I only have three cents left. I'll give it all to you." Yao Yuling reluctantly took out three cents from her small bag and stuffed it into Niu Dali's hand.

Seeing this, Wang Xin also took out some small change from his pocket, which totaled about one dollar and stuffed it all into Niu Dali's hand.

"That's not enough." Niu Dali looked at the money in his hand and said.

"So what? You're not paying a penny!" Wang Xin shouted angrily.

"No, I mean buying two chickens is not enough." Niu Dali said aggrievedly.

The three of them were embarrassed for a moment, then turned to look at Yuan Mu.

Yuan Mu was incredulous and pointed at himself.

"Why, you want me to pay for you?"

"Well, Brother Mu, consider it as a loan. We will pay you back after this month's expenses are paid." Wang Xin said.

"I really owe you!" Yuan Mu glared at the three of them speechlessly, then took out five dollars from his pocket and put it in Niu Dali's hand.

"Bring the rest back to me. And, buy good chickens from regular places. Don't bring back sick chickens, or you'll kill all the chickens in Brother Wu's house." Yuan Mu looked at Niu Dali and reminded him.

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan. I will pick the best and fattest ones." Niu Dali assured.

"Okay, go quickly and deliver it to Brother Wu's house this afternoon." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the afternoon, Niu Dali was carrying a sack in his hand, followed by Wang Xin and Yao Yuling on his left and right. Yuan Mu was walking in front, and the group headed towards Old Brother Wu's house.

"What's this style? What are you doing?" Aunt Cai was washing clothes and saw the four people and asked in confusion.

"Well, Aunt Cai, it's nothing, let's go see Brother Wu." Niu Dali said awkwardly.

As he spoke, Niu Dali took two quick steps into Brother Wu's house, which made Aunt Cai a little confused.

"What are these kids doing?"

"Hey, Mrs. Wu, are you going out?" As soon as I entered the room, I saw Mrs. Wu about to go out.

"Xiao Mu, Wang Xin, Dali, Yao'er?" Seeing these four people, Mrs. Wu was stunned.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Wu was a little confused. Why did these four people go together?

"Da Li! You say it yourself!" Yuan Mu pulled Niu Da Li out from behind him.

"What's going on? Why are you making so much noise?" At this time, Brother Wu came out of the house and was also stunned when he saw the four people.

"This is what you are doing?"

"Don't worry about what you are doing, just go into the house first." As he said that, Brother Wu let the four people into the house.

Several people sat down in the room.

"Yuan Mu, what are you doing here?" Old Brother Wu glanced at several people and finally fixed his eyes on Yuan Mu.

"Say something!" Wang Xin kicked Niu Dali.

Brother Wu and Sister Wu immediately turned their eyes to Niu Dali, making him feel embarrassed.

"Well, Brother Wu, Mrs. Wu, this is what happened."

"What's the matter? Isn't it worrying?" Wu Ge urged.

"Oh, why are you so slow? Let me say it!" Yuan Mu glared at Niu Dali, then looked at Wu Ge.

"Brother Wu, this is what happened. Nadali caught a chicken outside yesterday. He didn't know it was your Egg King, so he roasted it. Now the three of them have probably digested it." Yuan Mu pointed at the three people behind him.

After these words were spoken, Niu Dali, Wang Xin and Yao Yuling lowered their heads.

"Oh my god, the Egg King was eaten by you three?" Mrs. Wu wailed.

"Enough, what are you howling for? Didn't people tell you that it's the egg king?" Old Brother Wu shouted, and Mrs. Wu stopped howling immediately.

It has to be said that Brother Wu is definitely the boss and the top leader in the family.

"Brother Wu, Dali is your apprentice. You know his character. He couldn't have done it on purpose. So the three of them gathered two chickens to knock down the egg king, as an apology to you." Yuan Mu pointed at the sack under Niu Dali's feet.

"Hurry up and give the chicken to Mrs. Wu!" Yuan Mu urged.

"Okay, okay." Niu Dali quickly opened the sack, and two hens with their feet tied were lying there. Although they were not as fat and big as the egg king, they were still pretty good.

"Brother Wu, Mrs. Wu, we were indeed wrong in this matter. I would like to apologize to you." Wang Xin stood up and apologized.

"Yes, Brother Wu, Mrs. Wu, we really didn't mean it. We're sorry." Yao Yuling followed closely.

"Brother Wu, sister-in-law, I'm sorry." Niu Dali also apologized repeatedly.

"Oh, it's okay. It's not a big deal. Just give you one chicken and you can take the other one. It wasn't intentional. You've apologized too, so let it go." Old Brother Wu waved his hand and the matter was let go.

"Great!" Yuan Mu smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Brother Wu, as for anything else, please keep these two chickens. You have already brought them here. Otherwise, I would feel uncomfortable." Niu Dali said repeatedly.

"Okay, you only earn that much a month? Just take it back!" Brother Wu insisted.
