Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1287 - 1155: Unlucky Steward Lu

That’s right, the reason for Steward Lu’s anger is that the bamboo stick drawn by this person is once again an empty lot.

There is absolutely no text on it, nor any kind of marking, which means that this bamboo stick signifies no alcohol draw, how could he not be angry?

After excluding himself, two consecutive people have drawn blanks, which means out of fifty people, at least two casks of wine are missing. Even if everyone else draws successfully, only forty or so casks will be available.

Though it’s not entirely unacceptable, it is still disconcerting that there have already been two consecutive mistakes from the start, how can he not be furious?

Consequently, due to his scolding, the remaining household servants began to feel a bit fearful.

At the same time, they also felt a bit panicked internally, truly fearing that they might be implicated because of this incident.

At the very least, these two who drew blanks are now quite depressed, knowing full well from the steward’s previous remarks that they should not expect dinner tonight.

Thus, they are doomed to go hungry today.

This is indeed a troubling issue, as these people are accustomed to doing physical labor frequently, and going without food all night will make it incredibly difficult and painful for them.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it, after all, the other party is the steward, his word is law within the residence.

As a result, if he says they won’t eat, they simply won’t get any food.

Of course, these people aren’t without options; they’re currently outside waiting for the opportune moment. When they are not watched, they will use whatever money they have to buy a couple of buns to hide in their clothes, ensuring they have something to eat at night.

Moreover, these two people who drew blanks are secretly hoping and praying; they are praying that their companions also won’t draw any alcohol, only then, only if no one draws alcohol, will their punishment be minimized.

If not, if everyone else gets to eat while these two have nothing, that’s something they absolutely cannot accept.

Then the third person quickly stepped forward, this household servant didn’t show any hesitation and directly reached into the wooden barrel.

No choice, whether he does it or not, he’s already at risk, might as well face it directly, right?

Moreover, the chances are evidently substantial.

As for the previous incident where the two companions drew blanks, he disdains this and shakes his head privately, believing his two companions are just unlucky.

He’s confident he won’t be as unfortunate; didn’t the steward draw wine on the first try?

That must mean there are markings indicating wine inside, which is why he proceeds with full confidence.

Yet as he drew the bamboo stick, before he could even look, the steward stepped forward and snatched the stick right out of his hands.

And when the steward looked at the stick, he was so angry he smashed it against the other’s head without hesitation.

This action caused the person to take a sharp intake of breath, for although the stick is made of bamboo, it still causes great pain when hitting the head.

Of course, the only reason the steward was so furious is that this person also failed to draw wine.

"Useless, useless, another useless one, tonight you won’t have food either. Move away quickly, let the next person come up."

The first two people inwardly rejoiced without reason, seeing another one fail made them comfortable, feeling no sympathy; what could they do, didn’t this mean they’d already been punished?

It’s almost like that saying, seeing others being rewarded hurts them even more than their own punishment.

They are all in the same situation; they are all household servants of this estate, why do some get food while others do not?

It’s utterly unfair. Indeed, not only these two, but the one who just drew the bamboo stick is also praying in his heart, hoping his companions will also fail to draw wine, only then can they all avoid punishment.

Moving forward, whether it’s a joke from the heavens or what, starting from the first household servant, in the next twenty attempts, not a single person drew alcohol.

This naturally caused Steward Lu to explode with rage.

His angry shouting echoed across the street, drawing glances from everyone around, and upon hearing it, the shopkeeper furrowed his brow deeply.

"Steward Lu, this is still in public view, not to mention, it’s right at the entrance of this old man’s shop.

Your yelling and shouting like this, isn’t it rather inappropriate?

If this matter reaches higher authorities, I fear Steward Lu won’t be able to walk away unscathed."

Indeed, these words had considerable impact, and once the old man spoke, the steward immediately fell silent, dared not retort, but instead gave a fierce glare at his household servants and waved viciously, signaling for the next person to step forward and draw a stick.
