I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 16 - Saved a Meal of Porridge

In the evening, the four of them returned to the cabin, and Xiao Liu's action of kicking the door loudly woke up the Mine Slaves inside.

The Mine Slaves, who had been sound asleep, instinctively climbed out of bed, only to realize that it was still completely dark outside and that it was not yet time for meals and work since only Tian Lin and others had entered.

This group of people, fearing Boss Zhang and Tian Lin, dared not speak out in anger and lay back down.

Seeing that he had already woken everyone up, Boss Zhang simply clapped his hands to draw the attention of those in the cabin.

Boss Zhang said, "These two are the Liu brothers, Da Liu and Xiao Liu, my sworn brothers. From now on, we'll all be working together in the mine, and I hope everyone can look after each other."

A Mine Slave said, "With Boss Zhang and Supervisor Tian here, there's hardly a need for us to look after anyone. In the future, please take care of us in return, considering we share the same cabin."

"Fair enough, everyone go back to sleep."

After Boss Zhang finished speaking, he and Tian Lin started undressing at the side of their beds.

The newcomers looked uncertainly at the fully occupied beds, unsure of what to do.

Da Liu and Xiao Liu fared better, as other Mine Slaves, respecting Supervisor Tian and Boss Zhang, made space for the two men.

Da Liu began to undress, while Xiao Liu, touching the greasy straw mat, couldn't help but curse softly.

Then he slapped a Mine Slave next to him, who was about to fall asleep, and said, "Move over a bit, man. You don't even bathe, it's really freaking disgusting."

The slapped man, swollen-faced and baffled, was on the verge of tears and dared not cry.

Da Liu pulled Xiao Liu aside and apologized to the Mine Slave saying, "My brother has a bit of a temper, sorry about that. I apologize on his behalf."

The Mine Slave wiped away tears, not daring to say anything else, turned over, and pressed close to another Mine Slave far from the Liu brothers.

Tian Lin saw this scene clearly, and he looked at Boss Zhang.

Boss Zhang just smiled and shook his head, saying nothing, and the two went to sleep for the night without further conversation.

Tian Lin had now rested in this cabin for two days, and his injuries were almost healed.

With Boss Zhang leaving in the afternoon, he couldn't keep resting like this.

When the Supervisor came to wake everyone in the morning, Tian Lin also got up and went out to fetch porridge.

Manager Xu was very stingy, even the Supervisor had only porridge and a few pickles to eat.

Boss Zhang got two extra bowls of hot porridge, adding more pickles for the Liu brothers as well.

The group squatted in another corner, listening to Boss Zhang say:

"I'm going out for business these few days, and the cleaner and more beautifully I handle things, the more Manager Xu will trust me."

He said to the Liu brothers, "You two just arrived, bear with the hardships for a couple of days. When I return, I'll figure out a way to secure you both Supervisor positions."

Xiao Liu couldn't help expressing his dissatisfaction, "Why not plan for it now?"

Boss Zhang grinned and said, "Manager Xu is very miserly. Supervisors receive a monthly salary of one or two silvers. He's reluctant to give more, so there are only ten positions for Supervisors—you brothers want to be Supervisors, you'd have to trade lives with someone like Tian did."

Xiao Liu looked at Tian Lin in astonishment and said, "You can kill someone? I thought the Supervisors here were not so weak."

Tian Lin said nothing, while Xiao Liu, eager to try, said, "These guys can't even beat Old Fourth, looks like they really aren't much. Heh, I'll go meet them now."

Xiao Liu stood up as he spoke, but Da Liu grabbed him.

Da Liu said sternly, "Boss Zhang is our elder brother, whatever it is, we should listen to him."

At this moment, Boss Zhang also said, "It was an accident that Tian killed a Supervisor without being punished. Now that you are a Mine Slave, it's best not to overstep your bounds. Otherwise, even if you kill a Supervisor, Manager Xu won't let you off."

Hearing the name of Manager Xu, Xiao Liu's eyes showed a hint of dread.

He knew that Manager Xu, a practitioner of the Immortal Technique, was not someone he, a fighter from the worldly society, could handle. If he upset the other, his life would be at risk.

"What should we do? Who knows how long you'll be gone?"

Elder Zhang said, "It shouldn't take too long. When I get back, I'll help you find a position."

He finished the porridge in his bowl, patted Da Liu on the shoulder, and stood up to return the bowl.

At that moment, Tian Lin also finished his porridge and followed behind Elder Zhang.

He quietly asked Elder Zhang, "Da Liu is not a calm person, his brother might be okay, but I'm not entirely reassured about him."

Elder Zhang said, "The two brothers, one is a second-rate master and the other is a third-rate. With these two brothers here, others won't dare to plot against you when I'm away. As the saying goes, 'a hero needs three helpers,' we two alone can't stand our ground."

This made some sense; his own isolation was the reason he had been sleeping among the Mine Slaves for the past few days.

With Elder Zhang gone, if he got into a conflict here, who would help him?

"Then let's find a way to make them both Supervisors."

After Tian Lin spoke, Elder Zhang asked him, "Do you have a plan?"

Tian Lin was about to speak when suddenly a commotion drew their attention.

They saw a crowd of Mine Slaves gathering in a group, confronting the brothers, Da Liu and Xiao Liu.

Elder Zhang went over and found out that Xiao Liu, not satisfied with his portion of porridge, had started snatching from other Mine Slaves.

Out of respect for Tian and Zhang, everyone tried to endure Xiao Liu's behavior.

Seeing Xiao Liu grabbing the limited porridge they had, they couldn't hold back any longer, and a dispute broke out.

"I think you're all too full and idle. Better if none of you eat today, just go and start working."

Before Elder Zhang could speak, Manager Xu stepped in.

The Mine Slaves changed their expressions, even the arrogant Xiao Liu couldn't help but go pale.

A slap resounded, and a palm print immediately appeared on Xiao Liu's face.

Just as Manager Xu was about to kick, Da Liu and Elder Zhang stepped forward to shield him, Elder Zhang said, "Manager Xu, please —"

"Slap!"

Another slap resounded, this time it was Elder Zhang's face that swelled.

Manager Xu scolded Elder Zhang, "Is this how you serve as my dog? Not assisting your master but shielding outsiders."

Elder Zhang chuckled and said, "It's not that I intentionally oppose Manager Xu, but Da Liu and Xiao Liu are my sworn brothers. They are ignorant, so I apologize to the manager on their behalf."

Manager Xu snorted coldly, "Fine, considering that you still want to help me, I'll let them off this time. Stop wasting time in the mine now, go handle your business and come back to report."

Elder Zhang nodded, walked over to Xiao Liu, pulled him up from the ground covering his face, and dusted off his clothes.

Xiao Liu dared not look at Manager Xu or Elder Zhang. At that moment, Xiao Liu behaved obediently like an injured child.

A few Supervisors spectating chuckled mockingly, only restraining themselves due to Manager Xu's presence.

Manager Xu shouted at the Mine Slaves again, "What are you idiots standing around for? Get back to work!"

The Mine Slaves, furious yet fearful to speak out, glared at the backs of the Liu brothers and turned to pick up their baskets to carry stones.

Tian Lin noticed that although Manager Xu kept a stern face, his mood seemed rather good.

Perhaps, it was because this scuffle saved a meal's worth of porridge?
