A porter carefully asked, "Shall we still wait?"
"Wait!" Shen Hongniang clenched her teeth.
As such, they waited until the afternoon, all the people's stomachs growling with hunger, yet Chen Shi had still not arrived.
More cows and sheep gave birth, led away by the shepherds, but the two pregnant women were still holding on.
"Could it be that Chen Shi isn't coming to his duty today?" someone whispered.
Shen Hongniang laughed out of extreme anger, "We came here before dawn to wait for him, and now the sun is about to set and he still hasn't arrived! Is Guangji Storehouse still the place where he earns his royal grain? What are the officials of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Punishment doing? What is the Eastern Factory doing? Are they allowing this beast to do whatever he wants?"
"Hall Master, what should we do now?" the porter asked.
Shen Hongniang replied rigidly, "Withdraw! Go back and rest! Be here on time tomorrow at the third watch!"
