As for that little girl, she's so thin and small, even if she inherited it, she won't stand up straight, so let's just forget about her.
Soon Little Stone picked someone from the other side, and Big Meng and Little Meng went to return the millstone.
The boss led them along, saying, "I sell building materials. I have cement mortar, large timber, cut stones, and fired bricks. I'm hiring you to carry timber because the construction site needs it urgently, so each trip will have to be heavier. Of course, I'll charge you for two and a half trips. This girl, you'll be charged for two trips."
He glanced again at the man Little Stone had chosen: "As for you, judging from your performance later, you'll definitely get paid no less than twice the price."
"Boss, where are we sending it?" Qiao Lian'er asked.
"Deliver it to the south of the city, which is ten miles away from my warehouse. One trip of 150 catties will cost 30 coins. If you carry 300 catties, that will cost 60 coins. Two and a half trips will cost 75 coins."
"This is hard work; it requires not only physical strength but also efficiency, and there's a set time limit."
"If you do well today, we'll look for you again next time."
Qiao Lian'er pondered that, based on the current purchasing power, a trip would yield seventy-five coins, which was already quite good.
After making a few trips, the daily income is quite considerable.
It's a job that relies on physical strength. Those with good physical strength earn more, while those with average physical strength barely make ends meet. No job is easy.
Noticing that someone was watching her from behind, Qiao Lian'er turned around, but saw nothing.
The scorching sun made her head spin; perhaps she was hallucinating.
After the boss led the group out of the street and onto another main street, they arrived.
Yang Lao Da and Yang Lao Er emerged from behind a wall near where they had been, their dark faces showing disbelief.
"Brother, this family is really strong. Even the women can carry things weighing over two hundred pounds."
Old Yang was clearly deep in thought.
"If we train them properly, the safety of the convoys on this route will be greatly improved," Yang Lao Er continued.
The shipment they are currently escorting is extremely important, but there are only the two of them left. Unless they find a suitable replacement, they dare not act rashly.
"There are only a few of them, which is a bit too few," Yang said regretfully.
“I don’t believe there are only these two siblings. There must be other brothers and sisters in the family. This family is naturally strong, and they may be even stronger because they drank the little girl’s water. No one is more suitable than them.”
Boss Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's follow them and see how things go. A burst of power in an instant can't prove that they are natural-born bodyguards. We also need to see their endurance."
Qiao Lian'er found out the owner's address; it was just one street away.
"Mom, Third Uncle, I just passed a stall and saw some things I liked. I'll buy them first and then catch up with you." Qiao Lian'er said as she ran off.
"Hey, Lian'er!" Qiao Yunni called out anxiously, but Qiao Lian'er quickly disappeared into an alley.
"Little sister, this girl is very clever; she'll find us soon," Qiao Laosan said with a smile.
Qiao Lian'er had just observed the street situation. There was an alleyway that could be crossed from the street they had come from to the street they were on, which greatly reduced the distance.
She always felt that someone was watching her from behind. At first, she could comfort herself, but after it happened a lot, she felt that something was fishy.
Those who are truly watching them will keep watching.
She didn't rush out of that alley; she waited at the alley entrance, peeking out her head.
Sure enough, she saw the two men she had met in the abandoned house turn onto this street and head in the direction they had gone, and they seemed a little afraid of losing them.
