Money and values

The overweight middle-aged man laughed loudly and patted Jin on the shoulder proudly. 
-good boy, good boy,
-You are very thoughtful of that family.
The middle-aged man slowly pointed to the bucket of dirt in the middle of the construction site. 
-Come on, now go and lift that bucket to the sand on the other side. Just do it and I'll show you more later. 
Jin shyly*-yes*A weak voice and a look of disappointment quietly entered the construction site. 
- What about me, uncle?
Satori eagerly looked forward to speaking up towards the middle-aged man. 
he just shrugged indifferently *-Sorry we do not accept minors under 1m5 tall
-So please little girl don't get in the way here.
Satori cried out in despair, unable to accept it, his face fell.*-Huh?! 
The uncle just folded his arms coldly.* -I told you, go away, this place is dangerous for children, kid.
The little girl could only swallow this resentment in her heart, quietly turning around and leaving, not forgetting to kick the billboard, but it was so hard that it hurt her leg, holding her leg and walking in anger. *

-this is so unfair, yes yes, so unfair!!
Satori walked down the street with her arms crossed and complaining. *
-I'm clearly stronger than my brother, why didn't they just hire me based on my looks?!
-I can't just stay here useless like this, it's boring and I'll become a bad parasite!!
-this is the most horrible fantasy world i know!!

She clenched her fist and punched the nearby sign to vent her anger.
She frowned for a moment as she calmed down and noticed the board, the little girl gradually had a glimmer of hope, she snatched the map from the board and read it quietly and nervously. 
It is a map of the hierarchy and terrain in the city of Asra of the kingdom of Mixua with the division shown very clearly. *-The area I live in is the working-class area, the lower area is the low-class working class called "trafficking village"?she immediately gave a slight smile 
this is great i can go down there to find a job can't depend on that useless guy forever have to walk on my own two feet right satori-san?!!
With determined eyes and enthusiastic hand-holding posture, she immediately implemented the plan!!
a moment later
She looked carefully at the map to follow the directions to the "trading village" area.*
-let's see go to the south of the "luu do" bridge you will see a staircase going down...
she followed the instructions and stood in front of the "luu do" bridge, a large white bridge that spanned across the kingdom she was in. following the instructions the little girl slowly walked south and as instructed there was a staircase leading down*
along the way she slowly walked down slowly and nervously 
When she got down there, Satori had to look around with wide eyes, not because of the beautiful village but because of the unbelievable chaos that was different from the place she knew above. The houses were stacked on top of each other haphazardly and the paint was so badly worn that she could see the bricks in some places where there wasn't even a house but a shack made from extremely shabby trash, around the road there are trash bags scattered everywhere that no one cleans up, making her have to cover her nose and frown when walking. 
-Why is it so normal up there but down here I think this is India? She looked around silently where the people lived, there were children who were not allowed to go to school, running around looking for trash and adults with their heads down doing dangerous jobs without protective gear. - Honestly, the class division of this kingdom is not even, the commoners alone are five times more divided than here.
the girl was worried 
-I wonder if I can find a job here?...afraid that maybe can not ask...
While walking quietly and worriedly, suddenly a large log 3 meters long rushed towards Satori, making her jump in surprise*
Several children from nearby houses rushed out in panic, worried that there would be an accident, gritting their teeth and screaming loudly. 
The skinniest kid with the buzz cut screamed loudly and seriously. -please get out of the way!!
Meanwhile, Satori quickly calmed down, took a small step to dodge, and then calmly watched the log pass by him in the smoothest and calmest way. The log just crashed into a simple hut, causing it to collapse and then stop.The orange-haired girl in the group was so shocked and stunned that she collapsed to the ground. -that's my house...
the rest breathed a sigh of relief.The dark-skinned guy next to the skinny boy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly spoke up. 
-Sorry, we accidentally slipped and it was a bit dangerous for everyone. 
Satori sighed and questioned. -Hey, are you guys trying to assassinate me or something? Why don't you put something over it so it doesn't cause any danger?!
The skinny guy clasped his hands in apology. -we are sorry we didn't mean it not because you are a commoner we don't have the resources to build something safe to work with.
-That log is our day's wages, after eating we run out of money and we don't have much...
Satori listened quietly and approached the log. She touched it lightly and suddenly her eyes widened in surprise. 
-huh? why is this so light it's not that heavy
Unable to believe this feeling, she bent down to hug it and tried to lift it. She thought it would be difficult, but strangely, Satori didn't need to exert all her strength to hug the entire log on her body and it felt like she was lifting a block of wood.
Satori let go of the log, making a loud bang as it fell. She stepped on it to keep it steady so it wouldn't roll anywhere. She crossed her arms and looked at the kids in annoyance. 
-Hey, are you kidding me, it's just a big toy, nothing more, nothing less, it's heavy? and you guys are acting so serious, it's freaking me out and making me laugh!!* They said nothing, they just froze, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes. 
-Hey, are you listening to me, you guys?!Satori frowned as if she was being teased*
The overweight guy spoke up in shock. *- no, no we are not kidding you it is very heavy no normal person can lift it especially us kids had a hard time lifting it...
scared orange hair girl - really no kidding my friend...
Satori raised her eyebrows in confusion. -Huh? What do you mean? I don't understand...
The skinny guy suddenly laughed loudly and happily walked over*
-seriously, we mean this illegal log is so heavy and hard to navigate yet you can lift it so easily your strength is impressive!
Satori was happy to be flattered, it seemed to soften a bit, folded its arms but still looked unpleasant. 
-really but if it wasn't for me you guys would have been in serious trouble.
The skinny guy nodded vigorously. 
-yes yes that's why we are impressed with your strength if we have your strength we can improve this work performance more and thus have more money!!
Satori's eyes lit up when he heard the word money. He immediately stared at this extremely valuable piece of wood. 
-Really?! hmmm....I'm looking for a job, maybe this is suitable for me.
The orange-haired girl quickly spoke up, looking serious. 
-But you should know this is illegal, we are illegally logging which is already banned. If discovered it could affect your family!
The two boys heard that and nodded seriously towards Satori
made the girl hesitate for a while 
-what to do now? if i don't do it, my life will be ruined. tax time is coming soon. i can't guarantee how terrible the penalty for not paying taxes will be in this world...
-above all, I can't be a useless person living off my brother's salary, which is probably not enough for both of us to live on, and sleeping there smells terrible. 
-decided!! out of options, just do it, if you don't take risks how will you know they'll grow!!
She immediately spoke with a cold expressionless expression. 
-I accept this job!!
But Satori was trembling inside because she didn't know if it would be safe to go this way in the future...*
The children listened quietly for a long time to calm down and just looked at Satori, smiling gently. The skinny child spoke softly*
-So I hope you will help us thank you for your presence.
Satori heard and was a bit confused with their attitude, just smiled along. *
-I hope you guys teach me more
As time passed, the group discussed in a small temporary hut. 
and thanks to that she learned more information about everyone. Lily was the name of the orange-haired girl, Luta was the name of the skinny boy, Hakt was the name of the overweight boy. 
Luta with a serious look towards the distant forest
-we're going out there to chop it down and sell it on the black market in the west. 
He looked silently at the log placed in the corner of the tent. 
-if it weren't for the smaller groups we probably wouldn't have been able to carry that log back. Now that Satori is here, we probably won't have to beg for more.
Lily took Satori's hand gratefully *
-yes with Satori's ability maybe business will be easier!
Hakt nod in agreement softly*
-So let's get started, shall we?
Satori looked at these children struggling to make a living with a bit of admiration, perhaps partly because she felt lucky that at least her brother was still with her so she wouldn't be alone.*
Satori The whole group followed the mission to the forest. *
went a long way before finding the tree to hold the search. 
Luta quickly and seriously ordered everyone to gather around the tree to be cut down. He slowly took out a small axe and gave it to each person.*
Satori followed the instructions and picked up the axe. After looking at it for a while, a question suddenly arose. 
-wait i wonder why people don't just use magic to cut it down faster?! like we can use fire, earth or something strong enough to make the tree fall down then use water, earth and rock to blow it out!
Luta said nothing and just sighed. Lily just smiled after hearing Satori's innocent thoughts.Hakt sighed softly and spoke. 
-You understand, we are just poor people who cannot reach the intellectual class like you guys to learn magic.
-Even if they could learn it, with a child's strength, they still wouldn't be able to use much magic.
Satori listened quietly, feeling quite embarrassed by this brazenness and blushing slightly. 
-sorry i may be ignorant and accidentally asked something a bit stupid...
Luta clapped his hands to signal*
-okay okay let's get to work we shouldn't waste time on this conversation.
Lily quietly walked past Satori patted her shoulder in an energetic voice *
-it's okay we don't care, anyway we know the lower class and the common class are different, it's normal for them not to understand each other.
Then the whole group just did their work according to Luta's instructions. The whole group just cut down so many trees that they couldn't carry them all. And thanks to that deal, Satori got a lot of money and didn't have to worry about making a living anymore. She was so happy that she got married and left. *
As for Jin...
middle aged man constant voice*
-hurry up and carry it, everyone is about to prepare for phase two, how long are you going to be like this?!!
Jin meanwhile was still struggling to drag his body, trying to move the full basket at all costs. Even though he strained his arms and legs to change his position, he still couldn't move...
Jin spoke weakly but still tried to hold on.
- Boss, please understand that this is my first day at work so I may not be in good health and still confused.
The middle-aged man just coldly folded his arms, raised his eyebrows and spoke loudly. 
- sympathize? Jin you should understand that this world has no place for slowness and kindness you are doing to us all!!
-If you can't do this, you can quit. I won't forbid you and force you to suffer and complain to me!
Jin worriedly shook his head repeatedly shaking hands and feet still trying to move*-okay,okay, okay, okay I don't want to lose my new job!...
The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction after hearing that. *-If you have the will, I will still keep you busy with your work.
he turned around and slowly left*Jin breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down a bit, then he turned back to look at the phone, trying to figure out how to pick it up. He suddenly had a genius idea created by Jin, first pour out some of it until it was just right-Jin held the handle tightly and unexpectedly this plan worked, it was lighter than before and also because it was lighter, he accidentally used too much force, causing the bucket to be thrown and hit the boss's head, making the uncle stagger and get dirty. 
Jin frowned, rolled his eyes, and trembled all over, trying to think of the next solution to deal with it. He quietly crept closer to his boss step by step. 
The boss didn't say anything, just gently kicked the bucket back towards Jin and just silently turned back towards Jin without any expression, extremely cold, making Jin so scared that he only dared to cover his face and walk towards him. -Are you ready?...The middle-aged man just spoke in a cold voice. After hearing that, Jin just trembled and grabbed his other arm, weakly speaking. 
-...um...
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and shouted angrily.*
- Not only did you not get the job done, but you also like to complain and cause trouble!!!-CUT SALARY IN HALF ON THE FIRST DAY OF WORK!!!
Jin heard and screamed in despair*
-huh?!!
That night
Jin lazy sigh* 
-hzaaaa...I'm so tired, kid! This is my first time working as a construction worker, I'm so bored!
He lay down on the table exhausted and glanced up at the girl. Satori calmly pretended not to care much as she sipped her drink, drinking a glass of water *-Leave it to me.
Jin a little annoyed but still trying to act spoiled*- huh? Is that okay to say?!
-At least act like a capable and sensitive little sister?! I need to be comforted in loving arms after a day of being hurt and being thrown around~...
Satori narrowed her eyes and looked at him with annoyance, without hesitation, she placed a thick stack of money on the table with a very arrogant and contemptuous smile * 
-Hmph. I don't need your money, you can ask for it later.
He was startled when the girl put the money down hard but then immediately opened her eyes wide in surprise, her voice filled with shock * 
-W-w-where did you steal so much?
Satori After hearing that, she frowned a little in annoyance*- Shut up! I earned the money myself! 
She rolled her eyes and suddenly stuttered a little*-not really...  
He raised his eyebrows a bit confusedly* 
-What do you mean?... 
Satori difficult to tell the whole story*- Well, the story is:... (...)-that's it!
-And do you know how much it is per deal? 
*He listens attentively shaking his head sincerely * 
-100cld...
Jin he opened his eyes wide in surprise at the amount of money he thought he couldn't touch *-what?!! 
Satori crossed his arms, arrogant
- hmph! I've joined that group now. Don't worry about money anymore.
 then glanced down at his brother with contempt and 'poked' his forehead* 
-now you know who's the queen?! Worker.
She picked up the restaurant's menu and looked at the staff* 
Satori loudly *-sorry, we need to order a few more meals for me!!
Jin just kept silent, he rubbed his forehead feeling both happy and annoyed with this little sister. How could he do that?..* 
A moment later 
The sound of the inn door opening, he looked up to see the guest entering, frowning when he realized these two were the two most chaotic brothers you know in this work. 
He landlord speaks a little annoyed looking at the two of them* 
-what's this?! Are you trying to disturb my business? 
Jin walks behind the girl still carrying the two of them's luggage.Satori walked up with arrogance and confidence and slammed the money on the table* 
-We-came to get a room, sir!!
He landlord looks down at the stack of money and smiles smugly* -It seems I underestimated you two. 
*Then gives the room key to both of you*
You two, Jin is so miserable! running after the brat while carrying a bunch of shopping.The little girl happily and eagerly ran upstairs and opened the door wide-* Excitedly looking at the fully furnished and spacious interior, although it was just a small room, it was enough for the two of them* It happily ran to throw itself onto the only bed here.*
and the older brother had a hard time carrying the stuff to the room. When he dropped the stuff, his legs went limp and he was panting* 
Jin looked tired and breathless *
-Oh my gosh- what did you buy so much? The girl lay on the bed for a while before paying attention to her brother * 
-Oh, just a few personal belongings, the two of us' clothes, and essential items like a table, blanket, and other personal belongings. 
He quickly calmed down and looked up, looking at the surrounding space, smiling slightly with a bit of jealousy and admiration towards the little girl * 
Jin softly*
- Wow, my little sister is so nice today. Satori: (hugs the pillow and smiles wryly) 
-What sister?! Call big sister!! 
*Then Jin frowned at the little girl who quickly noticed the bed below
Jin a little surprised*-Oh, there's only one bed? 
Satori looks down and nods, then looks up at his brother with a sarcastic look while rolling around on the bed with a pillow*-or is it me...-You think we slept together?~...
He was startled, shook his head, clenched his fists, clearly showing his anger, gritted his teeth, but still smiled and tried to respond*
-Are you crazy?!.. I don't need it!  
the girl just turned her head away, looking arrogant and indifferent*
-It's not that you don't need it. It's because you're not worth it. 
-My money, my bed, go sleep on the floor.
-Stop thinking about anime, I think you can guarantee that a pervert like me won't have any bad intentions. 
The older brother gritted his teeth and waved his hand running towards it. *
he looked half angry* -stop here you brat!! 
the little satori ran around the room excitedly and energetically* hahaha. I'm so stupid to follow my brother's words! 
*The two of them were happily playing together when-
The sound of the door opening loudly
The landlord looks angry and speaks loudly*
- you guys-shut up and leave my guest alone!!!
The two were startled, after hearing that they obediently climbed into bed together, staring at each other in silence with anxiety* 
*Waiting until the shop owner left
So that night, one of us lay on the futon and the other on the comfortable bed, and we fell into a deep sleep. Their lives went on smoothly like that. The older brother worked as a worker and sometimes left work halfway to see if there were any adventurer missions he could do, while the younger sister did illegal work.
Everything seemed fine until 5 days later**
Luta frowned and signaled for everyone to hide. 
-damn no one told us that the guards would be patrolling!!Lily with a worried look *-what should we do now?!Hakt gritted his teeth in worry. 
Satori was silently thinking to try to escape this unexpected dilemma*-what to do now ? If we don't act quickly, we'll all end up in the police station!
-Think about it Satori-san, Satori-san!! ah there is a way!
She immediately leaned into the children's ears and whispered her plan. They all listened attentively and agreed to follow it. A moment later, when the guards were about to reach the alley, Lily ordered everyone to get ready. From that alley everyone came out of the alley so suddenly that the vigilant guards were completely startled.
But I noticed that these children didn't seem suspicious at all. They were simply laughing and blocking the alleyway. The two soldiers looked at the crowd without any suspicion.

-These people look like uneducated people going out to practice, where are their parents? It's best not to get involved.
