Su Qingluan smiled and said, "Since you can't integrate into the collective cooperation, I will give you a job independent of everyone else - follow me and do odd jobs."

"W-what?!" Wu Erman accidentally broke his voice.

Su Qingluan laughed: "Why? Is it so scary to work for me? Don't worry, I don't eat people, nor do I make human meat buns."

"..." Wu Erman, who was originally unable to be lazy openly, was frightened by Su Qingluan's bizarre and outrageous metaphor and turned pale.

However, Su Qingluan continued as if she hadn't noticed the other person's expression, "No need to wait until tomorrow. You can transfer to another position today. Don't worry about the manpower transfer. Start doing odd jobs now - go move all those jars out of the house first. Be careful, if you break any, you'll have to pay for it. After all, the number of jars I have is limited."

These jars were none other than the jars into which the next batch of jam would be packed - but before packing the jam, Su Qingluan still had to boil these porcelain jars in water at high temperature for quarter of an hour.

Of course, Su Qingluan didn't have to do this job herself, but someone else did it for her - such as the newly hired errand boy Wu Erman.

Although they were "small jars", they did have some size and weight when added up, and their surfaces were very round and smooth. Wu Erman didn't dare to be too careless, for fear that one of them would be broken and he would have to pay for it. So he had to hold four jars in each hand and hold the four open jars between his fingers.

If you do the same with both hands, you can transfer eight jars at a time.

Su Qingluan just watched Wu Erman going back and forth again and again, without calling anyone to help or asking them to stop and rest.

This scene made the workers, who were originally dissatisfied with Wu Erman but could not find any evidence to prove him wrong, feel very happy. So they simply treated Wu Erman's situation as a foreign spectacle, and their work became more interesting.

Others had fun watching it, but Wu Erman, the "fun" himself, was not having any fun at all.

To be precise, he was now a little bit in tears - let alone being lazy, he was now working under Su Qingluan's nose, and even the slightest slackness would be noticed.

What's more, Wu Erman's current job is that of a handyman who has to do everything. He is only managed by Su Qingluan and all his work is independent of others.

This means that if there is any mistake in the work within Wu Erman's scope of responsibility, he will not even be able to shift the blame to others.

As for finding opportunities to slack off, that was completely out of the question - there was only so much work to do, and it was his sole responsibility. Even if Wu Erman could slack off a bit when Su Qingluan left, he would still have to do the work sooner or later.

If you don't want to be fired, you can't just sit there and do nothing, so there's no point in being lazy.

However, Wu Erman had always been lazy and slacking off, so how could he withstand such "harsh" treatment? After only half a day, Wu Erman, who was forced to work "full load", felt sore all over, dizzy, and almost collapsed on the spot and fell asleep.

Of course, this was not Su Qingluan's deliberate harsh treatment of him. This level of labor was just the same as that of ordinary people - perhaps even a little easier.

However, for someone like Wu Erman who works all year round and only puts in 40% or 50% of his effort, it is considered "very hard working". Let alone working to the extent of 100%, even if he puts in 70% or 80%, it is enough to make him "exhausted".

So after work that day, he couldn't wait to go home and hug his elderly mother and start complaining about how miserable he was with Su Qingluan.

Before she could say a word, she was caught by her eldest sister who was married and came back to visit her parents' home occasionally. She was scolded again and dared not complain anymore.

Wu Dani was also tired.

Originally, she married into a neighboring village, but her parents-in-law died early, and her younger brother was a waste of time and ambition. She couldn't leave her aging mother, so she and her husband moved their household registration back to Huaxi Village.

However, Wu Dani was married after all, and her husband was not a live-in son-in-law, so the two of them lived in two different places in the village from Old Lady Wu's family, so that Wu Dani could occasionally go back to her parents' home to take care of her mother.

As a result, as soon as she entered the door, she heard her disappointing brother rolling around in the house, saying that he didn't want to work at "Su Ji" anymore because it was too hard and tiring.

"What the hell are you talking about!" Wu Dani put her hands on her hips, furious. "I've heard it more than once. You're the one slacking off and dragging the whole team down! Stop fuming at me like you've been wronged. Whether you've been lazy or not, don't I know your character just as well as others!!"

Old Mrs. Wu also has some patriarchal views in her heart, but on the one hand, she is too old and lacks the physical strength, so even if the eldest daughter teaches the younger son a lesson, she is powerless to do anything; on the other hand, it has not been easy for the eldest daughter to run the household in recent years, so even if she wants to protect the younger son, she can't go too far.

So the old lady leaned on her cane and trembled as she tried to plead for her son. Before she could even open her mouth, Wu Dani pressed her back: "Mom, please stop protecting this little brat. Don't look at how pitiful he is now. When he's lazy, he's worth two people!"

Wu Erman was unconvinced again: "How am I lazy? Didn't you see that I was busy running around today?"

"Did you take the initiative?" Wu Dani sneered, "It's all because Madam Su was so kind that she didn't fire you and even found you a lighter job."

"That's not easy work!"

"How can just moving a few jars and cleaning them not be considered light work?" Wu Dani waved her hand and said, "Get out of my sight right now. I'm getting annoyed. I need to make dinner."

"I don't want to eat anymore!" After saying this, Wu Erman ran out.

As the saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together." Normal people would definitely look down upon lazy people like Wu Erman who usually take advantage of other people's situations. As for the kind of people he usually associates with, there are some issues with them.

For example, Hu Laoliu and others.

Of course, it is a joke to say that these two are brothers who are loyal to each other, but in a sense, they are indeed drinking buddies who get along very well with each other - of course, they are just drinking buddies.

In the dim inner room, Hu Laoliu looked at Wu Erman, who was drinking one wine cup after another, as if he wanted to immerse himself completely in the wine. He felt a little sad that his wine was drunk up by the man in front of him before he even touched his lips.

But the other party obviously wanted to get him drunk, and was already a little unconscious, so Wu Laoliu just made a "tsk" sound and quickly grabbed a sip of wine and drank it first.

"Brother Wu, don't just drink to yourself. If you have any unhappiness, come and talk to me. I have a suggestion for you. What do you think?"
