Yu Jiang is one of the few sensible people in the Arakawa Star Realm, and the reason is simple. Yu Jiang's father, Lao Yu's distant cousin, died earlier, so when Lao Yu Jiang was just over ten years old, he took him to Yinshan whistle.

Yu Jiang is twenty-seven years old this year. He spent most of his life outside the Arakawa Star Domain. Although he still has the unique ruthlessness of Arakawa people, he has also experienced some observation and thinking ability because of his contact with the outside world.

Yu Jiang, who has such ability, stands out among Lao Yu's nephews, is the most proud nephew of Lao Yu and is highly valued.

"Actually, the uncle wanted to go to the domain because he gave birth to a lot of daughters but had no sons." At night, when Xia Fan called Yu Jiang to the room to chat, Yu Jiang told the truth, "Without a son, no one would inherit the family business. If the uncle had a son, he would not go to the domain."

Xia Fan was curious, "Why? The domain is more developed and safer. Why do you don't want to go to the domain if you have a son? Isn't it better to let your son get education in the domain?"

Yu Jiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Sir, you are wrong. Outside the territory, only the lower class people live like dogs. Rich people like uncle are living well."

"Uncle has twelve wives, which does not include the women he raised outside. If he goes to the territory, can he do this?"

"No one dares to bully uncle outside the territory, only he can bully others. But in the territory, he is a native native who is despised and despised. He must be a human being with his tails, so he is not arrogant and domineering here."

Xia Fan nodded, thinking that Yu Jiang's words were very reasonable. The outside world was in chaos, but this was also a paradise for rich people. Women should have as much as they want. As long as they have money, they can pull out an army and become the local emperor.

In the domain with strict legal system, Lao Yu is never allowed to be arrogant and domineering. Lao Yu, a rich man outside the domain, is an ordinary person in the domain, has lost all his privileges, and his quality of life has dropped significantly.

"What about you, what do you think?" Xia Fan smiled.

Yu Jiang's face slowly sank, and he clenched his fists and said, "I will seize this opportunity. For uncle, he was forced to leave because he had no son. However, I wanted to go to the domain, but it came from the heart, because only when I got into the domain can I change my destiny."

"In fact, living outside the domain, the most painful thing is not hunger, but despair."

"Our family has better conditions in the village. There is a rich uncle who can supplement the household income every few days, but others are not lucky. One year, sandstorms were scraped and the crops in the fields were destroyed overnight, so the whole village began to starve."

"The Arakawa Star Field is not like other places, where there are no mountains, forests, seas, and rivers. It is all endless deserts, and only a few drought-tolerant crops can survive there."

"In Arakawa Star Domain, the water is salty water from deep wells. It is very precious. We usually don't want to drink water. We have never even taken a bath since we were young. Even though we were covered with little sluts unique to the desert, we bit them all over. The sluts are poisonous, and the pustules will soon become ulcerated, making people feel pain. Even so, we don't have water to take a bath. The children gather together and help each other to catch sluts, but how can we catch so many sluts?"

"This is how we save water to irrigate the few farmlands, and a sandstorm left the crops without harvest."

"I watched my friends who have been playing since I was a child starving to death, and when they die, they are all skin and bones left..."

Speaking of this, Yu Jiang suddenly twitched violently. He ran into the toilet and vomited for a long time before he walked out again. When he came out, his face was pale and his eyes were dim, as if he remembered the painful days back then.

He forced a smile, "Sorry, I really can't say it anymore. It's so miserable, it's all nightmares."

"Anyway, in the end, I was the only one who survived in the whole village. As for how I survived, you two should be able to guess."

"Not only is this the case for me, almost all of us have the same experience."

"So please rest assured. Now there is a chance to live in the domain and we will sacrifice our lives."

"No one of us, no one is married or has children, is because we don't want to have our children born in this kind of place."

"Do you really think that my uncle took me in because of some blood?"

"No." Yu Jiang shook his head, "It's because he saw that there is value in me, and I'm very happy to be used by my uncle, because only in this way can I survive."

"I don't hate my uncle for taking advantage of me, but I don't owe him anything."

Looking at the blizzard weather outside the window, Yu Jiang lowered his head and avoided Xia Fan and Fo You's eyes, "Sorry, I've said so much, it's getting late, so you two should take a break early."

"Please rest assured, we will stay outside during the rest. This is what everyone has agreed on before you come."

After saying that, Yu Jiang respectfully exited the room.

Alas ~

After Yu Jiang left, Fo You shook his head, "He is the only one who survived in the whole village. Yu Jiang may have eaten anyone."

Xia Fan smiled bitterly and looked out the window, "This is outside the domain."

......

That night, Xia Fan and Fo You didn't sleep, and Yu Jiang's heart-wrenching words made it difficult for them to fall asleep.

The next morning, when I opened the door, I saw two nephews of Yu Jiang who were really standing outside the door. They were waiting outside the whole night. For them, the lives of Foyou and Xia Fan were much more precious than themselves. I would rather die by myself than let Xia Fan and Foyou lose a hair.

However, these nephews had stiff expressions, and they were not as good as Yu Jiang's ability to speak. They stood outside the door like two stone piers, staring at everyone with their eyes like cows. Xia Fan knew the reason and didn't blame them.

The breakfast was not very rich. Only Lao Yu and Xia Fan and Foyou were sitting on the table. His nephews were all having breakfast in the kitchen, while their wives and children were locked in the room. They would only come out after Xia Fan left.

Outside the domain, women and children have low status because they are not productive and have to eat, which is regarded as a burden by many families.

"This is a uniform. My nephews all wear this to work, so they have to feel sorry for you now." Old Yu asked someone to bring two cheap fiber-textured gowns and put them on the table. The clothes were brand new, but they felt rough to the touch, and obviously they would not be worth much money. There was also a big Yu character embroidered on the back of the clothes, indicating that the person wearing this clothes worked in Yu's Store.

Xia Fan took the uniform, but Fo You looked unhappy. The little Fo You had a bad temper. After hearing how Lao Yu treated his nephew, he looked down on him very much. It was Xia Fan who persuaded him and told Fo You that he would still use Lao Yu at the moment, so he suppressed the idea of ​​killing this guy.

After leaving Lao Yu's house, Xia Fan and Fo You followed Lao Yu and mingled with the Eight Vajras.

The Eight Great Vajras are the eight nephews headed by Yu Jiang and Lao Yu trusted the most.

Passers-by looked sideways and dodged. He stood by the roadside with the courage, nodded and bowed to Lao Yu, and shouted Boss Yu, who pretended not to see these people.

The business is right in front of Lao Yu's house, and you can get there after a turn, so you don't need to take a vehicle, because the road is covered with snow, which is difficult to get there. Lao Yu's two nephews supported him one left and one right, while Lao Yu cursed the damn weather.

The business has opened.

Lao Yu manages agricultural products, from various fine grains, to potatoes and mountain potatoes that are filled with the poor, to some air-dried small fish, shrimps, jerky, cooking oil, etc.

Yu's trading house is very imposing. Its storefront is four high and magnificent. The warehouse behind it is huge. Even if the people in the city come to buy grain at the same time, the reserves in the warehouse are sufficient for supply. In Yinshan Shore, Lao Yu's grain trading house can rank among the top three in the same industry.

However, in Xia Fan and Foyou's opinion, Yu's business is inevitably a bit rustic. The golden decoration is painted, and it is exposed to the wind and sun, and it will soon become mottled. The decoration has nothing to do with the simple and elegant style. It is completely the appreciation level of nouveau riche. It can be as bright as it is.

Lao Yu's nephews stood seriously at the door. Xia Fan counted with his eyes. There were more than two hundred people who were greeted outside alone, including more people in the business, as well as other branches and warehouses.

The people at Yinshan Shore said that Lao Yu had three thousand nephews, and this statement was true.

Old Yu originally wanted to invite Xia Fan and Foyou to sit in his office, but after thinking about it carefully, this was wrong. After all, Xia Fan and Foyou are the nephews whom he came to join the Arakawa Star Realm, so he had to apologize to Xia Fan and Foyou with his eyes, and then rushed downstairs in front of everyone.

Yu Jiang asked someone to bring in a few chairs, four of the eight great kings followed Lao Yu, and the rest sat down in the middle of the store to direct the others to be busy.

Xia Fan and Fo You also sat down. This action was because Lao Yu's nephews looked at each other, but no one dared to talk too much. After all, in this business, Lao Yu is the god and the eight Vajras are the heavens.

The first floor of the business is retailing, and the second floor discusses bulk transactions, so most of the people who come to buy things on the first floor are local people who are promoted to the dou.

There are few neat clothes, most of them are wearing ragged clothes. The food they buy is only for one or two days. They mainly buy cheap mountain potatoes. Cook the mountain potatoes, cut them into pieces, and dip them in some salt or sauce to fill the family's stomach.

The types of grains refreshed the three views of Buddha You. He thought the red jerky in the sack was beef, but after asking, he realized that it was the meat of the field mouse.

Even jerky rat meat is rarely bought by poor people, and their purchasing power is far from the level of eating meat every meal.

In general, Lao Yu's nephews have two attitudes toward customers. They treat customers with clean clothes more politely, while poor people will be discredited by their nephews. If they ask if they don't buy it, they will be kicked out of the business. Even if they are knocked down in the snow, these people dare not resist. They get up in a hurry and nod and bow to the person who hit them.

Xia Fan saw numbness in the eyes of these poor people. There were beggars who had frozen to death on the roadside. Their bodies were stiff in the snow and no one paid attention to them. Maybe they had already gotten used to it. If they didn't work hard, the next person who was frozen to death might be themselves.

Every time they came outside the domain, Xia Fan and Foyou's three views were impacted, but they could do nothing, so they had to pretend not to care, and drink tea with Yu Jiang to see the cold and cold world.

Xia Fan now hopes that the three major alliances can rule the entire Cangyue, at least with their ability, they can make people from outside the domain have enough food, instead of being like this now, people are not as good as animals.

It was only ten o'clock in the morning. When the number of customers gradually increased, he suddenly broke into Lao Yu's nephew from outside the door. He swept the lobby in a panic and came straight to Yu Jiang.

"Brother Jiang, something happened." The man whispered.

"Is it the eldest lady?" Yu Jiang frowned.

"Yes, the young lady started to have a fight with the people."

"Come again? Didn't I just get a few eyes yesterday?"

"Miss, what can we do if we have such a bad temper."

"Who is this time?"

"I don't recognize that there are seven or eight people in the Lao Zhu family's teahouse. The young lady has only two of us and a few of her friends. She is arguing now. I'm afraid that the young lady will suffer a loss, so I come to the business bank to say."

"Okay, I understand." Yu Jiang waved his hand impatiently and stood up.

The eldest lady should be Lao Yu's eldest daughter, and it seemed a bit troublesome. When Xia Fan saw Yu Jiang stand up, he also stood up.

Unexpectedly, Yu Jiang smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to go there. The eldest lady is only fifteen years old this year. Her affairs are all trivial troubles between children. It's really not very glorious. The teahouse of Lao Zhu's family is not far away. I will take a few people there and come."

Since that said, Xia Fan and Fo You nodded, stayed in the business, and continued to observe the eyes and movements of Lao Yu's nephews.

Although they all have a stern face now, as if they don’t like anyone else, which makes people feel quite cold, Yu Jiang said that as soon as Fo You and Xia Fan spoke, others will immediately find that they are not from the Arakawa Star Domain at all.

You have to learn all the accents when speaking, the movements you treat others, and the look you look at others.

When he came, Yu Jiang said, let Xia Fan and Foyou observe more and try not to speak.

Yu Jiang coughed lightly, then stood up with several nephews with a tiger-backed back and waist, followed him and walked up the street, turned left, and went to the teahouse of Lao Zhu's family.
