Chapter 260 There is a condition

Qian Tu said firmly: "I can do it, I can learn."

Cheng Lesheng looked at Qian Tu and said, "Okay, try it out here for a few days. If you're okay, you can be a waiter in the hall for one or two taels of silver a month. If not, you can only wash dishes in the backyard for five cents a month."

"Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss."

"Don't thank me. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't help you." He pointed at Wen Zhenyi.

Wen Zhenyi just shrugged: "No need to thank me, just do your job well. What happens in the future depends on you."

Qian Tu bowed deeply to her: "Thank you, Sister Wen."

"You're welcome. Someone will take you downstairs to familiarize you with the work. Food and lodging are provided."

The corners of Cheng Lesheng's mouth twitched. When did his place provide him with free food and accommodation?

Wen Zhenyi watched the clerk lead Qian Tu to familiarize himself with the environment, and then remembered something: "He also has a sister. Do you know of any embroidery workshops that are hiring embroiderers?"

Cheng Lesheng rolled his eyes: "Are you taking me for a fool?"

"I didn't sell you this recipe for money."

Cheng Lesheng's words were stuck in her throat. It would be better to just sell him for money!

When Axiang saw Cheng Lesheng being humiliated, his expression became much happier.

Cheng Lesheng sighed: "The life of an embroiderer is very hard."

“It’s always better to have a skill than later.”

"We don't have an embroidery workshop at home, but I can ask Song Yi for you. They have an embroidery shop."

"Then I'll trouble you, Master Cheng. Food and lodging are provided here!"

Cheng Lesheng's mouth twitched: "Are you planning to leave it to me to support?"

"You have quite a few people here, so at least you can take care of them."

"Okay, I'll have someone make a bed for him."

"Don't worry now, wait until her sister gets married."

"Okay, I'll arrange it for him then."

"Thank you, Master Cheng."

"Pick a different sheep next time."

Wen Zhenyi looked at him playfully: "Are you sure?"

Cheng Lesheng originally wanted to say "sure", but then he thought, dealing with this person has always been a give-and-take, and it will definitely bring him a lot of benefits.

If this is denied, I seem to be losing a lot.

Wen Zhenyi knew that he had figured it out, so he got up and took Axiang to Qian Xiu'gu's yard.

Matchmaker Xue had already come, and Qian Xiu'gu had agreed to the marriage.

When Qian Xiu'gu saw her coming, she had a smile on her face and was gesturing with her hands.

As soon as Wen Zhenyi walked into the yard, Qian Xiuxiu brought a stool for the two of them to sit on.

"Miss Qian, I found a job for Qian Tu in the restaurant. If he does well, he'll get one or two taels of silver per month. If he doesn't do well, he'll get five taels of silver per month."

Qian Xiu'gu gestured to her gratefully with her hands.

"We'll be a family from now on, so there's no need to thank me so much. Originally, my aunt wanted to take you to live with her, but this wouldn't be a good thing for you or Qian Tu and the others."

Qian Xiu'gu nodded. She also planned to talk about this matter with Ma Yuruo, but her sister-in-law was young, and what would they do if she got married?

Now Wen Zhenyi has helped her solve this problem. Qian Tu has a job, and she can at least feel a lot more at ease.

"Xiuxiu, if you agree, I will have someone send her to an embroidery shop to learn how to be an embroiderer."

When Qian Xiu'gu heard this, she quickly stood up and was about to kneel down in front of her. You know, there are many people who want to be embroiderers these days, but it's not easy to get a job.

All of this costs money, but once an embroiderer becomes a master, she will never have to worry about food and clothing.

It takes a lot of time and energy for an embroidery shop to train an embroiderer, so the embroiderers in the shop usually have a contract to sell their bodies.

For example, people who do not have a contract to sell their bodies need to pay a large amount of money from their families before they have the opportunity to study.

Wen Zhenyi reached out to support her: "What are you doing?"

Qian Xiu'gu gestured to her with her hands, her eyes full of tears.

Wen Zhenyi knew that she was grateful to him: "I said, we are a family. If we are not a family, I will not meddle in these trivial matters. Whether your two younger siblings can have a good future in the future depends on them."

Qian Xiu'gu nodded repeatedly. She couldn't even imagine such a day. She believed that her younger brothers and sisters would have a good future, at least they wouldn't have to live a hard life anymore.

"Live a good life with my cousin in the future, and things will get better and better."

Qian Xiu'gu gestured quickly.

"I should go back tomorrow. I'll come back when you get married. Now that Mr. Hong is dead, you can live your life in peace from now on."

Qian Xiu'gu nodded repeatedly.

Wen Zhenyi came out of the rented house and didn't expect that his trip to the county town would cause so much trouble.

A Xiang looked at the woman in front of him, but she didn't look like a rural girl at all.

"Axiang, go rent a carriage and take us back early tomorrow morning. I've been away for a few days and I really miss my home."

"yes."

When Wen Zhenyi returned to the Ma family, he saw that everyone in the Ma family had happy expressions on their faces.

Geng Ru was discussing with Old Mrs. Ma to vacate the two rooms for Qian Tu and Qian Xiuxiu to live in.

"Aunt, grandma."

"Yi Yi is back." Old Mrs. Ma waved at her.

Wen Zhenyi walked over to them and sat down. He didn't see Ma Yuruo and the others. "Where are Grandpa, Uncle, and Cousin?"

"They are going to prepare the things for the betrothal. We don't want Xiu Gu's dowry, but we also don't want her to be too shabby when she gets married."

Wen Zhenyi immediately understood that these betrothal gifts were actually Qian Xiu'gu's dowry.

"Aunt, what are you discussing?"

"I'm discussing giving Qian Tu and Xiu Xiu Teng a house."

"I don't think it will be of any use."

Old Mrs. Ma looked at her with confusion: "Why?"

"Qian Tu works as a waiter at Zuixianju, where he gets free food and lodging. Xiuxiu is going to be an apprentice at the embroidery shop."

Geng Ru still didn't understand: "Did you arrange this?"

"Um."

Old Mrs. Ma and the others had already prepared themselves for gossip and backstabbing. After all, not only did they marry a mute grandson-in-law, but they also had to help raise her younger siblings.

If these words were to get out, life at home would become increasingly difficult. It would be difficult for Qian Xiu'gu, her younger siblings, and even Ma Yuruo to hold their heads high and live their lives.

Now Wen Zhenyi has solved all their future difficulties. How can they not be moved? This granddaughter truly treats them as family!

Geng Ru's eyes were slightly red: "You kid, how much do we owe you for this?"

Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "We are all family, there is no such thing as owing or not owing anything."

Old Mrs. Ma secretly wiped away a tear: "Did you owe someone a favor?"

"No, they are all insignificant things." Wen Zhenyi was not worried about owing Cheng Lesheng. After all, they didn't know who would owe whom in the future.

But the Song family’s situation is not easy to deal with. I don’t know how to repay it.

She had no idea yet, but Cheng Lesheng had already asked the servant to pass on a message to her.

"Miss Wen, our young master asked me to tell you that the Song family agreed to let Qian Xiuxiu be an embroiderer for free and will teach her carefully, but there is a condition."
