Earn money anytime he comes back he will submit all the money he made to his mother mama use this and pay for damy’s next school fees his mother is always proud of him and would thank sii for all he is doing for the family she would remove some money out of it and give it to him please use this at least for yourself but s we will never use the money for himself he will go and save it seri was so selfless he cared for everyone in his family he cared more about his family the well-being of his siblings than he

Pays attention to himself everyone in the family loved him and respected him because of this one day mr de’s old friend who is a rich man came to visit him mr d it’s been long my friend how are you and your family mr d was surprised to see his old friend who he had not seen in 10 years wow mr mid is this you it’s been a long time oh sit down wow how is your family we are doing well de replied him they both sat together chatting and discussing about all times they chatted for a long time after some hours mr mid said to delay i

Evening when yy came back from the market with his mother mr del called him and sat him down yy i would like to ask you some questions you have finished senior secondary school two years ago you can see that i and your mother don’t have enough to further your education what else do you want to do apart from going to the market with your mother well papa i would love to learn how to se meal clothing a friend of mine just graduated from his his master papa and he’s doing very well he’s making money already with his

Talent i love handmade craft papa and learning how to sw is one of them but y me what about you going to serve my friend mr mid he’s into building materials and he’s looking for who will serve him for 6 years afterwards he will settle the person handsomely can you be willing to do that ah no papa i can’t learning how to sw is just 2 years and i’ll be free to start my own but serving is six years ah papa i’m not interested i don’t even like buying and selling business ty this boy you’re a big fool just then s came in

And told his father see papa i overheard everything you told yy i am interested said i would love to go to the city and serve mr midday but there is condition papa he will let me to be doing small jobs to earn money and support you and papa mr d was very happy he agreed and told soi that he would talk to mr midday and give him feedback days later mr de called mr midday and explained the situation mr midday agreed immediately and told him to get sery ready that they will be leaving for the city in the next three days 3 days later

Mr mid picked up serji in his father’s house and they left for the city mr mid’s house is a very beautiful house and it is very big he is a very rich man and he is married to a woman named t and they had two children mr mid welcomed s to the family and showed him to the boys quarter where he will be staying with other boys that are also serving him seri felt welcomed he loved the environment and felt comfortable the next day they got to mr mid’s shop m amido told s everything he needs to know about the shop and the

Business he begged him not to steal from him if he does it won’t end well for him ser listened attentively mr mid told his senior to teach serji the remaining things he needs to know about the business few months later ser gradually learned everything about the market but he se something that bothered him mr mid had six boys that are serving him they stay in different shops because mr mid has four shops in the market serin noticed something that bothered him so seriously his senior named a always still from mr m s one day boldly

Questioned him s caught ao stealing some ties and selling it at the back a you better answer me or i will expose you to aap why are you always stealing goods and be selling at the back of aa this is not fair you are running this business down how will he be able to settle you if he continue to steal from him see this one you better ask questions so you don’t know where you are eh let me tell you a little secret mr midday is not who you think he is oh h the last person mr mid settled was because of his wife who

Forced him later i heard from a reliable source that the boy was servicing madame that is mrs mid that he was servicing madame and keeping proof because mrs nid doesn’t want her head on the ground she persuaded her husband husband to settle that boy mr midday is a very bad person i am so surprised to see you you didn’t even make small research about who you are coming to serve we were about 15 boys when i came here newly now we are left with five boys others run away with mr mid’s money but they didn’t succeed

Because they all died mysteriously the ones that manage to get settled by mr midday it’s always by force once it is almost your settlement here mr mid will accuse you of a crime and throw you away so you see he’s not a good man this thing you see me doing is the only way i survive i send money to my father in the village just seal your mouth if you do mr goody goody h your name will be sorry s was shocked at what ao was saying he didn’t believe him so he decided to find answers for himself seri started to ask

Questions from the market neighbors but what they told him shocked him more mr mid is a very wicked man nothing good have ever come out of those who mr mid settle h so g was devastated he doesn’t know what to do next his father had hoped on him to serve and make it but with this latest information seri was really down he needs a good plan and a way to do things right meanwhile ever since s came to the city and stayed few weeks he started to work at a club at night as a bartender just to make money and send home to his parents mr midday

Did not have any issue with it since it doesn’t affect his business suju worked really hard at the club he impressed customers with his hard work he’s always smiling and complimenting every customer with that he will get tips every night regardless of what s had found out about mr mid sg worked hard at the shop bringing in customers mrs midday saided to check soji out because of how her husband will always sing su’s praises how sui is working really hard in the market how his business have greatly improved customers everywhere all because of s

Mrs midday saided to admire s she will send him messages and ask him to bring the item to her room s will obey and when she collects the item from him she will start to touch s in a way that is not good she would touch su in his face and compliment him that he’s very handsome sometimes he would tap his bs all this made sui to be convinced that all he heard is true he uses his bad thinking job at night to escape mrs m there was this particular customer that liked s service anytime he comes to the bar he will always want sery to attend

To him one night as the man came to the bar sery attended to him as usual the man asked him why are you always smiling and friendly don’t you have family problem of personal issues why are you always happy and smiling so j laughed and replied to him sir i have a very big family problem and a very big personal issues but i can’t let that disturb my work i am naturally a happy person because i know i have a good god whom i serve he’s always there to solve my problem h s i really like your resolve in life don’t carry your family problem
