Chapter 269: Admit It! The Goal of Hard Work Is Money!

One morning, Yorozuya.

"Really, I only owe three months of rent. What are you talking about?" Lying on the sofa, a silver-haired naturally wavy hair with dead fish eyes was picking out earwax with his little finger and muttered impatiently, "Knocking on the door non-stop since this morning. Really, I haven't slept well..."

"Let's go to work." A certain glasses sitting on the sofa opposite the silver-haired naturally wavy hair suggested with a face full of sincerity.

"Shinpachi, how many times do you want me to say it before you understand?" Gintoki waved his hand and explained impatiently, "Yorozuya is just a part-time job, and the content is different every time."

"Passively waiting for someone to come to your door is very different from taking the initiative to make money," Shinpachi said with a serious face, "The most important thing is! No one has been here for a month! Whether it is a person or a phone call, not a single one!"

"Hey! Shinpachi!" Gintoki interrupted Shinpachi and sat up. He looked at Shinpachi with a serious face and said, "Don't you have the self-esteem of a man? We only do things that others ask for. This is Yorozuya's spirit!"

"That's right..." Shinpachi pushed up his glasses and said weakly.

"Ah, it's so annoying." Gintoki lowered his head and sighed, "In short, there is no way to think when you are hungry. Let's have breakfast first before we have a combat meeting. Speaking of which, isn't it Kagura's turn for breakfast today?"

As he spoke, Gintoki turned to look in the direction of the kitchen and shouted, "Hey, Kagura, is breakfast not ready yet? It doesn't matter if we eat Tamago Gohan; just hurry up..."

"It is not Tamago Gohan, but saury bibimbap-aru!" Holding the empty rice cooker, Kagura walked out of the kitchen. Then, she stood in front of the sofa and faced Shinpachi and Gintoki. After burping, she said excitedly, "Hey, Gin-chan, the smell of grilled saury is coming from the window. I couldn't help but eat a few more bowls-aru~."

"All... all gone?" The corners of Shinpachi's eyes twitched. He looked at the rice cooker in Kagura's hand and Kagura's belly which seemed to be about to give birth. He was in a bad mood.

"What?" Kagura was puzzled. Then, she followed Shinpachi's gaze and looked down at the rice cooker in her hand. She said in horror, "Gin-chan! There's a rat at home who steals rice! This is bad! I clearly cooked ten cups of rice! All of them were stolen!"

Gintoki looked at Kagura speechlessly. Then, he covered his face and murmured, "You are really amazing. You actually ate ten cups of rice when you smell the grilled saury from the outside."

"I'm going to cook again-aru!" With that, Kagura turned around and ran to the kitchen.

"Forget it; I'll take this time to go back to sleep." As he said that, Gintoki lay down on his side again, covering his face with a Jump magazine, "Shinpachi, pay attention not to let that girl with a big stomach finish all the cooked rice again. I'll sleep for a while. Wake me up when she's done..."

Before Gintoki could finish speaking, Kagura's voice suddenly came from the kitchen.

"What's wrong again?" Gintoki got up and sat up again, grabbing his messy hair impatiently.

"Gin-chan! Something bad happened-aru!" Kagura came out with an empty rice bag and said seriously, "There really are rats stealing rice in our house! The rice bags are all empty! It's really terrible!"

"It's you!" Gintoki and Shinpachi roared at the same time.

"Gin-san, the situation has reached a point where we must take it seriously!" Shinpachi slapped the table and looked at Gintoki solemnly again. Then, he took out Yorozuya's passbook from his bosom and flipped to the latest page on the table, "The passbooks are empty! Work... We have to work! Gin-san!"

"Don't want!"

"What a narrow-minded way of thinking," Gintoki chuckled, "At that time, of course, I would take home all the strawberry milk in the supermarket!"

"You're about the same!" Shinpachi complained.

"Listen up, the two of you. Today's plan concerns the life and death of Yorozuya! You have to listen carefully!" Gintoki said with a serious face.

"Although I'm a little happy that you can be so serious and consider this issue..." Shinpachi muttered, "But I feel that it's a little unreliable."

"No, this is the most reliable and most efficient job. You can become rich overnight." Gintoki shook his head with a serious look on his face, "You guys get closer. I will relay the work arrangements to you guys!"

"Oh!" Kagura was the first to come closer and pricked up her ears. Seeing this, Shinpachi also pricked up his ears.

...

Afternoon, in front of the dumpling shop on Yoshiwara's street.

After listening to the Yorozuya trio's request in front of her, Tsukuyo wondered if she had misheard.

"Was I hearing things just now?" Tsukuyo held her forehead and muttered, "Strange, there is no fever. Am I dreaming now?"

As she spoke, Tsukuyo raised her head and looked at the Yorozuya trio in front of her. She asked again, "Um, can you repeat your request just now? I don't think I heard it clearly just now."

"Hey! Are you messing with us?!" Gintoki shouted.

"Calm down, Gin-san." Shinpachi tried to persuade him. Then, he looked at Tsukuyo with an embarrassed expression, "Well, actually, we wanted to find out if there was any work we could do for Miss Tsukuyo. Recently, Yorozuya's funds have been a little tight..."

"Sure enough, I haven't woken up yet..." Tsukuyo held her forehead and muttered.

"This stinky woman really makes people angry!" Gintoki shouted, "Can't you just pinch yourself to check if you are asleep?"

"I see." Tsukuyo nodded and then took out a kunai from her bosom.

"Wait..." Shinpachi hurriedly stopped her, "There's no need to be so serious. Just pinch me."

However, just as Shinpachi finished speaking, Tsukuyo had already thrown out the kunai in her hand and hit Gintoki's forehead. Then... the latter rolled his eyes and fell down...

"See, I was indeed dreaming. It doesn't hurt at all." Tsukuyo gently puffed out a mouthful of smoke.

"You clearly hit the wrong target! Hey!" Shinpachi shouted.

"Haha, that's enough, Tsukki." Hinowa, who had been sitting in the dumpling shop all this time, covered her face and smiled, then looked at Tsukuyo and said, "Don't play anymore; just give them a job opportunity."
