Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 603 - 233: The Four Brothers Who Walked Into the Trap! _4

The volunteers assigned were not just anyone; some were even inmates. And as he scanned the group, he was even more surprised to find four particularly familiar faces. They seemed to recognize him too, keeping their heads down the entire time.

"COUGH, COUGH. You... all come with me," he said.

Afterward, he took a deep breath and led the thirty or so "volunteers" to various areas of the nursing home.

"You two, help the elderly with tidying up their bedding and clothes, and clean up the place."

At each area, he assigned a task, leaving them to get on with their work.

"You two, there are a few elderly people here who have difficulty walking but like to go for a stroll every day. Give them a hand."

"You three, can you tell jokes? Keep the elderly company with some jokes."

"And you guys..."

It didn’t take long before he had assigned tasks to all thirty-plus individuals. Of course, this excluded Jiang Daping and his three companions, who kept their heads down.

"As for you..."

Finally, he looked at the last four "volunteers" and said gravely, "Today is a joyous occasion for our nursing home; two elderly residents are tying the knot."

As soon as the words fell, the four men couldn’t help but tremble involuntarily.

A smile played at the corner of Qin Mu’s mouth. He then said, "But since the elders are quite old, you should take care of them closely and follow their instructions."

With that, he began leading them towards the makeup room, assigning the four men to Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua.

Although he had no idea how they had suddenly shown up, let alone as volunteers, this was undoubtedly the best arrangement for them. These four had a longstanding grudge against Feng Cuihua, preferring probation over fulfilling their duty to provide for her care. In the end, they still had to serve Feng Cuihua and their "stepfather."

「Two hours later.」

The nursing home. Outside the banquet hall, Zhang Qingyuan and Qin Mu stood side by side at the entrance, greeting the guests.

Meanwhile, Zhang Qingyuan, watching Qin Mu, couldn’t help asking, "Xiao Qin, did they take the wrong medicine or something, volunteering straight into our trap?"

He had been in the middle of getting ready when Qin Mu suddenly walked in with Jiang Daping and his quartet, giving him quite a scare. At first, he even thought these four were here to disrupt the event. After Qin Mu explained, he felt a bit more at ease, but he was no less shocked.

"They’re volunteers, sent by the correctional community. I guess... they’re just out of luck, and all got assigned to our home," Qin Mu said, shrugging nonchalantly.

The four men were assigned to different correctional communities, and each community sent people to different nursing homes. That this situation occurred could only mean these four were incredibly unlucky.

"By the way, how are these sons of yours faring? Are the four of them obedient?" Qin Mu suddenly asked, turning his head.

Jiang Daping and his companions were not participating in ordinary volunteer work. It was a public service activity organized by the correctional community, aimed at labor reformation. After it ended, their work would be evaluated. If they hadn’t fully committed, they could easily receive a poor assessment. Afterward, the correctional community and judicial office staff would naturally provide them with some mental "education" and ideological "transformation."

"So far, so good. They’re just a bit unruly, especially when facing Cuihua. I guess they’re just spoiled," Zhang Qingyuan said with a conflicted expression after some thought.

For the past two hours, he had them do a dozen or so tasks. At first, they were somewhat resistant, but later they became quite compliant. But when dealing with Feng Cuihua, they were still defiant and somewhat difficult to manage. They were going through an extraordinarily long rebellious phase.

And now, as it was time to receive guests, he could only come to the door alone, leaving the four in Feng Cuihua’s charge.

Just then, "Old Zhang, congratulations on your wedding! Congratulations!"

Outside the hall, a group of people emerged, each heading straight for Zhang Qingyuan. In their hands, they all held slightly small red envelopes.

"COUGH, COUGH. They are staff from the court. That one is Xiao Wang, this is Xiao Sun, and that one is Xiao Qiang..." Zhang Qingyuan, sensing the puzzlement in Qin Mu’s eyes, hurriedly began to introduce them.
