There's an old story about Zigong redeeming a slave, and Madam Kong described it so well.
Grand Uncle Master, look at us these two times, we've put in so much effort—if we ask for nothing at all,
isn't that just putting everyone else on the spot?
Later, when people talk about it, the Scorching Sun Department will say, "Fuyu Mountain made such a huge contribution and didn't ask for anything,"
and then when it's your turn, you have the nerve to ask for compensation for doing this little bit?
If we don't ask for anything, won't we just offend everyone else, right?"
At Fuyu Mountain, Grand Uncle Master set the phone on the stone table and switched it to speaker.
Beside him sat three old Taoists, all looking very serious.
Upon hearing Wen Yan's words, the chubby Taoist couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing on the spot.
The skinny Taoist stroked his beard with a smile, nodding repeatedly.
