Chapter 933 Lu Erbai's Friend

Shu Yu was stunned for a moment. Who was this person? She turned around and looked at the uncle who had seen them off from the village.

Lu Dasong said in a low voice, "This is also an uncle in the village, you should call him Uncle Liang."

Shu Yu readily agreed and nodded slightly. "Uncle Liang, is there something you need from me?"

Liang Wangsheng approached somewhat awkwardly, his expression quite unnatural. He seemed hesitant to speak, opening his mouth for a long while before closing his eyes and whispering, "Lu Xiangjun, I... I heard you're hiring people to renovate houses. What do you think of me? Could you hire me?"

this……

Shu Yu sized up the person in front of him. This person seemed honest, hardworking, and reliable. In this weather, he had rolled up half of his sleeves, and his small arms looked strong, suggesting he was used to manual labor.

Yes, she's lost some weight and her complexion looks a bit poor.

Since this person came to see her alone, she must not be on her father's list.

Since that was the case, Shu Yu didn't want to cause any more trouble. Just as she was about to politely suggest that they had enough manpower, she heard Lu Dasong beside her whisper, "Yu, he's quite suitable. Why don't we let him go?"

Shu Yu looked at Lu Dasong with some surprise, and the latter nodded slightly at him.

Although she didn't know why this person wasn't on her father's list, her uncle wasn't one to interfere with her decisions casually, so there must be a reason for his statement.

Shu Yu nodded, "Alright, Uncle Liang, come and give it a try tomorrow with the other uncles and elders in the village. If you do well, then you can stay."

She didn't make any definitive statements, only saying to give it a try first.

Liang Wangsheng's eyes lit up, and his face flushed with excitement. He repeatedly said, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Lu Xiangjun."

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Liang, you don't need to be so polite. Go back and prepare first."

"Well, then I'll head back now."

Liang Wangsheng nodded to Lu Dasong again, then turned and ran away quickly.

After everyone left, Shu Yu asked Lu Dasong curiously, "Uncle, why did you say he was quite suitable?"

As Lu Dasong continued walking, he explained, “Brother Wangsheng, you actually have a good relationship with your father. Your father used to be a carpenter. After he learned the craft from his master, his master went to the prefectural city. Your father then returned to Shangshi Village and took on jobs on his own. Among the three of us brothers, your father is the most successful. He is hardworking, kind, and a good worker, so he gets a lot of work.”

"With so much work, he couldn't handle it all by himself. He originally wanted to ask your third uncle for help. But you know your third uncle's personality; he couldn't stand being busy all day long. He only worked for half a day before running away."

As for Lu Dasong himself, although he is old, his hands are not very dexterous. He can manage to farm and grow crops, but it would be difficult for him to do carpentry work.

So Lu Erbai found someone else, and that person was Liang Wangsheng.

Liang Wangsheng was about the same age as Lu Erbai, and he was hardworking and willing to endure hardship.

“He’s been working alongside your father for three years. The two of them have a great rapport and work together very well, often finishing work before the employer’s deadline. During that time, both families were doing quite well, until…”

Lu Dasong glanced at Shu Yu.

The latter understood, "Until I disappeared?"

“Yes, as soon as you disappeared, your father searched for you everywhere. How could he have the energy to do anything else? Brother Wangsheng is not as skilled as your father, who learned his craft as an apprentice since he was a child. Without your father’s guidance, there is much less work to do.”
