Gu Chengrui accompanied them to have a good meal. After the meal, Zhou Ying even served them a plate of cherries.
Once the group of people finished eating, they enjoyed a cup of tea in the restaurant.
When Qian Zhuang came to deliver the news, the group went downstairs and headed straight to the dock. After capturing the three men, Qian Zhuang and his brothers returned to the manor.
In the evening, Gu Chengrui arranged for a whole roast lamb with some wine and food. After the bailiffs were stuffed, they washed up and went to bed.
The next morning, Uncle Nian made mutton giblet soup with pancakes, and the group of bailiffs had a great time all around.
This was the first time they had received such great care in a long time.
Therefore, all of them were especially friendly to Gu Chengrui, while the six captured men were treated more miserably. They were taken away without even having a meal.
…..
The real refugees were handed over to the village Constable Tian Jingzhong, who taught them a good lesson. If they violated the rules again, they would be executed without question.
After sending everyone off, Gu Chengrui finally heaved a sigh of relief. He picked up his wallet and was about to pay for Qian Zhuang’s group of brothers.
Li Si quickly stopped him. “Doctor Gu, we don’t want the money this time. We want to work for you like brother Qian and the others.”
“Yes, Doctor Gu, please take us in. We will listen to your orders and never disobey them. We won’t chase after chickens if you tell us to catch dogs.” Ma Zi, who had become familiar with them, chimed in at this time.
When Qian Zhuang heard this, he gave him a slap and said, “Choice of words, come on. Why would you compare what we do to chasing dogs or catching chickens? Can’t you change the way you talk?”
“Haha, I’m just a ruffian who doesn’t know how to talk. I was just expressing my loyalty.” Ma Zi said with a smile, then looked at Gu Chengrui with anticipation.
Seeing this, the others immediately followed suit and expressed their loyalty. Some even knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Life was getting harder recently, not to mention that these were hooligans who couldn’t do proper work. They would starve to death sooner or later if they did not find a way out.
This was why they were all sincere about working under Gu Chengrui.
Qian Zhuang and Gu Erjiang looked at Gu Chengrui. “Doctor Gu, if you can take them in, it would be for the best. Although we’re gangsters, we’ve never done anything harmful.
“And I promise they’ll definitely change their bad habits and work hard.”
“Right, right. If you are hesitant about it, you can also test us first, like you tested Brother Qian.”
“If you’re sure we are of use to you, only take us in. Otherwise, we won’t bother you any further,” Li Si said.
Gu Chengrui saw their sincerity and pondered for a moment before saying, “Get up, all of you. I’m very touched that you want to follow and acknowledge me, and I can indeed take you all in.
“But you have to change your old habits. If you do anything underhanded again, I won’t be soft-hearted when I deal with you. I think you know this.”
“Yes, yes. If anyone commits a crime, you don’t have to do anything. We’ll deal with them ourselves.” Li Si nodded.
They were all present when Gu Chengrui dealt with Lin Dong, and they knew his skills better than anyone else. This was one of the reasons why they had chosen to follow him.
If they followed a powerful master with solid connections, they would be able to rise in social class in the future.
Besides, the young couple were usually kind and generous people.
“Yes, we will not allow a bad apple to spoil the bunch.” Gu Erjiang chimed in.
“How about this? You’ll all have a one-month trial. If your performance is decent after this month, I’ll take you in as long-term workers.”
“Alright, one month it is.” Li Si said.
“Then what will they be doing? Are they going to collect ingredients with us?” Qian Zhuang asked..
