Chapter 68: Are they so kind to give the job opportunity to Xu Qiang?

Xu Jiaan came out of the house carrying a small backpack. After not seeing Da Jun and the others on the ridge of the field, he ran straight to the grove behind the threshing ground.

The woods are cool in the summer, and many children like to play in the woods or grill what they catch.

Xu Jiaan was wearing new sandals. He looked at his feet to avoid being scratched by branches and walked very slowly.

"Look, who is that?"

A group of children were squatting in front of a simple grill. One of them spotted Xu Jiaan and started screaming.

The other children followed his gaze.

"Little bastard, he is a little bastard."

"No, he's Xu Jiaan. His father is the head of the group, and my mother said I can't call him a bastard anymore, or else his father will shoot him to death."

Several children huddled together silently, staring at Xu Jiaan in awe and fear.

Xu Jiaan was very familiar with the frightened looks in their eyes at this moment.

Because he was also frightened when those people threw stones and mud at him.

That's great.

A sense of revenge suddenly rose in his heart.

"Don't be afraid, my dad won't kill you."

Xu Jiaan approached them, his dark eyes were as cold and silent as before, and his red lips were slightly raised to show his friendliness.

Several children opened their mouths slightly.

Xu Jiaan was the same as before, with gloomy and unpleasant eyes and pale skin, which frightened them.

And now, because of the change of identity, Xu Jiaan has been given a layer of mystery and nobility.

Seeing Xu Jiaan smiling at them, they were not so afraid of him anymore.

A few days passed, and Da Jun forgot about the pain in his face from being beaten by Xu Jiaan, and asked him curiously.

"My fourth sister said your father is very powerful and his flesh is made of iron. Are you also made of iron?"

"No." Xu Jiaan's mouth twitched.

If it wasn't for the money, he wouldn't play with these idiots.

Several children made "whoa" sounds and pinched Xu Jiaan's arm, finding that he was the same as before.

Everyone asked him what fun things there were in the city. Xu Jiaan managed to speak a few words impatiently. When others asked him what was in his bag, he immediately took out his white shoes.

"Hey, why do you bring shoes?"

Da Jun shouted, "I know this pair of shoes. They sell for 6 dollars a pair in town."

"Xu Jiaan, can you lend me your shoes? I will never bully you again."

Da Jun stared at it closely. Everyone in the city wore small white shoes, but his mother refused and insisted on buying him cloth shoes and using the extra money to buy meat.

"Do you want it?" Xu Jiaan spread out his palm, "3 yuan."

－－

After hearing from Ji Changyu himself that the work was done, Xu Qiang couldn't wait to rush out of the house.

Halfway through the journey, he thought about becoming a glorious worker and having a valuable status, so he gradually slowed down his pace.

An auntie passing by saw him walking with his nostrils facing the sun and asked him curiously where he was going.

Xu Qiang straightened his clothes, suppressed the smile on his face, and pretended to be calm.

"Well, aunt, it's nothing. My brother-in-law arranged a job for me. I'll go to Hongzhi's house and tell him."

The aunt was wondering when Xu Qiang became so polite? When I heard the second half of the sentence, I felt shocked and sad.

Xu Qiang curled his lips with pride and walked all the way to the door of Zhang Hongzhi's house.

The door slammed loudly, "Hongzhi, Hongzhi, I'm a worker now!"

Zhang Hongzhi, who was cooking in the house, quickly took out some firewood from the stove. When she heard Xu Qiang talking about his work at the winery, she praised Xu Qiang with shining eyes.

"The team leader has arranged a job for you. Xu Gang is his brother-in-law, so wouldn't the job he arranges for you be better?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qiang's smile fell.

Staring at her with sinister eyes, he almost forgot about Xu Gang! I'll go back and ask them. Anyway, Xu Gang's work can't be better than his.

He was willing to give that shabby house to Xu Gang.

The man sneered, "Are you still thinking about him? Give up, the better he works, the less he will look down on you."

Zhang Hongzhi thought that this was the truth. The person with the best conditions she could catch now was Xu Qiang. She saw that Xu Qiang's eyes were getting colder and colder.

She leaned towards him and said aggrievedly, "No, I just asked casually. You are the only one in my heart."

"Really? I don't believe it unless you let me touch it." Xu Qiang stretched out his hand towards Zhang Hongzhi.

－－

Old man Xu walked around outside the village, and his two trouser pockets were stuffed with melon seeds, peanuts, and even a pair of underpants given by the old ladies.

He walked in a floating manner when he came into the house.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Yao's family was particularly kind.

"I don't know when Gangzi will be back. I'll ask Yanfang to save some food for him later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Xu and his family came back from work, and Old Man Xu's face instantly became long.

As soon as Mr. Xu came in, he sat down next to Old Man Xu in a swagger.

He first asked Xu Yao if she was used to living in the city. Xu Yao answered perfunctorily, and he frowned and began to lecture her.

Xu Yao must not enjoy herself at her husband's house. She must be filial to her parents-in-law, serve her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and take good care of Xu Jiaan...

Old man Xu’s pipe was almost crushed to pieces.

He should have been the one to say these nice words, but the second brother took advantage of it!

Seeing Xu Yao's face visibly darkening, Ji Changyu spoke.

"Second Master, Yaoyao did a great job. Our whole family likes her very much."

Mr. Xu finally stopped talking. He had rambled on for a long time and was unable to get to the point.

"Xiao Ji, thank you for taking care of the work. What kind of job did you arrange for Qiangzi? Qiangzi has been weak and sickly since he was a child. He faints when he goes to the fields. I'm afraid he can't do a lot of work.

My son Muzi is different. He has been in good health since childhood and has never been sick. He inherited his mother's genes. Muzi can also do the job you introduced to Qiangzi, and do it better than him. ”

Old man Xu standing by was so angry that he even smashed his pipe.

"Second brother, what do you mean by this! If you want my grandson-in-law to find a job for you, just tell me directly. Why are you dragging my Qiangzi down with you? Get out, get out. You are not welcome in my house."

Mr. Xu, who was driven out, was still shouting at Ji Changyu, and Ji Changyu's face twitched slightly.

"Don't help his son Muzi find a job. He has been at odds with me since he was a child. He wanted to separate the family right after we got married and even drove my parents away! Seeing that Weidong was promising, he slandered Weidong in the village every day. Ever since his son became an officer, he has been coming to my house every day to mock Weidong for being a lowly worker..."

When it comes to Mr. Xu, Old Man Xu never stops talking.

Xu Yao was overwhelmed by hearing all this nonsense. She really admired Ji Changyu for being able to listen to it without changing her expression, and she couldn't help but interrupt him.

"Grandpa, it's not that easy to arrange work, otherwise we would have let Qiangzi and my brother go to work together. Now I gave it to Qiangzi but not to my brother."

Sun Yanfang, who was pretending to pick up something, heard this and a trace of suspicion flashed across her face.

It would be completely reasonable to arrange Xu Gang and Xu Qiang to work together.

But give Qiangzi a chance...

Are they that kind?
