Chapter 614 Employees

A Jin suddenly turned around, looked at Yu Shijiu, and said with a complicated expression:

Did a customer hit you?

Yu Shijiu nodded and sighed, "That's right, it was this customer who asked me to pick up breakfast who got it."

"..." Ah Jin looked at him, hesitatingly asking, "Was the beating serious? Is it serious?"

"It hurts a little." Yu Shijiu sensed something from A Jin's attitude, so he pretended to be in pain, rubbing his shoulder and grimacing.

"The customer hit me too hard; I feel like my shoulder is shattered."

The self-inflicted injury was... well, it wasn't really a self-inflicted injury, since Yu Shijiu's shoulder was genuinely in pain; he was just using "pain" as an excuse.

"May I take a look?"

Ah Jin suddenly leaned closer to him, placed the plate and tray he had just prepared on the table, and whispered:

"I'm not doing anything, I'm just a little worried. We all rely on our physical strength to work, so if something goes wrong with our health, we'll have to be kicked off the ship."

"……it is good."

Yu Shijiu pretended to hesitate and touched his shoulder. "If it's serious, Brother Jin, please don't tell Brother Wu and the others. I'm afraid they'll kick me out."

“I also have to work on the ship to support my older brother and sister. They are all disabled, and they can’t survive without my wages…”

In a town villa, Anjie and Chen Yi, both forced into disability, sneezed simultaneously. Anjie stared strangely at the babbling teenager on the screen, her lips twitching, while Chen Yi rubbed his itchy nose and chuckled.

"Shi Jiu is now using us as an excuse, which is a good thing."

“…” Anjie popped the freshly peeled orange into her mouth and said expressionlessly:

"The disabled person should keep quiet."

Chen Yi: "..."

Chen Yi smiled and shook his head, "I'll go get some more strawberries—"

"Don't take the strawberries."

Anjie refused: "Just bring some more oranges, oranges are cheap. Save the strawberries for Shi Jiu and the other two to eat when they come out."

Chen Yi disagreed: "Sister An, this isn't how you spoil a child. Do you know how many news stories there are about children who become arrogant and ignorant because they're spoiled, and eventually adults can't control them no matter what they do—"

“Chen Yi.” An Jie raised her hand to interrupt him, her expression complicated, “Which of the three looks like a child—oh, Shi Jiu does look somewhat like one.”

After all, Yu Shijiu looks too young (it's definitely not because Yu Shijiu is short or has a youthful face).

Chen Yi, interrupted, paused for a few seconds, then frowned: "...So, Sister An, what you mean is..."

"I don't like strawberries."

Anjie said frankly, "I prefer oranges and tangerines... Oh right, I remember you bought a watermelon from the supermarket yesterday, right? We cut it in half and each of us ate half. Half a watermelon will last me a long time."

Chen Yi: "..."

He didn't expose Anjie's words, and nodded with a wry smile:

"Okay, I'll go cut the watermelon. Sister An, you wait here for a while."

"it is good."

Anjie nodded and added, "Should the mutton soup in the kitchen be simmered on a low flame?"

"It's been changed."

Chen Yi walked towards the refrigerator without turning his head and said, "I just switched to low heat."

Anjie stopped talking and continued peeling the orange, staring intently at Yu Shijiu on the screen.

On the screen, a well-behaved and innocent-looking boy wiped the corner of his eye, which was completely dry, and sighed:

“Brother Ajin, you have no idea how much pressure my family is under. My sister has a bad leg, and my brother has a bad hand. They are both perfectly healthy people, but they just can’t do any work. It hurts me to see them like this every day. There’s nothing I can do. My family is about to go hungry, so I have no choice but to go out and work myself.”
