Good people may not always be rewarded, but selfish people do have pretty good luck.
Because Zhao Jiagu had money in his pocket, he would hang out in the county every day, and he met his destined benefactor.
The man introduced him to a job in the kitchen of the largest restaurant in the county.
They could earn five hundred coins a month, and that was a good job. Even people who grew up in the county might not be able to find one, let alone these country folk.
However, there was a requirement, which was that he had to pay a deposit of ten taels of silver first. Of course, the money would be returned to him after he had worked for a full year.
It is not unreasonable for the restaurant to do this, after all, they are not familiar with him.
Zhao Jiagu was also introduced by someone and had never worked in a restaurant before. What if he quit after working for a few days, or if something went wrong and he ran away and couldn't be found, what would he do?
It would be better to pay a deposit first, and then return it to him after he has worked for a full year and the restaurant has confirmed that there is no problem with this person.
All of these will be written in the document, so Zhao Jiagu is naturally not afraid of being cheated.
He immediately went home to ask Chen Shuilian for money.
This was a great event, and Chen Shuilian was naturally happy. However, asking her to take out ten taels of silver was even more difficult than asking for her life. She didn't have that much silver.
Seeing Chen Shuilian hesitate, Zhao Jiagu immediately said all the good things he could.
For example, this is a rare opportunity. As long as he does well, he can settle down in the county. Then he can bring his mother to the county to enjoy a good life and live the leisurely life of an old lady in the county.
Chen Shuilian was so happy with his coaxing that she couldn't help but imagine the future. She gritted her teeth and sold the only three acres of land in her family and gave the money to him.
As soon as Zhao Jiagu got the money, he left. He said that the distance from the county to the village was too far and it was inconvenient for him to come back every day, so he decided to live in the county first.
As for his family...let his wife take care of his filial piety to his mother first.
Even though he just talked and did nothing, he could still make Chen Shuilian smile from ear to ear and kept praising him for being a good boy.
As expected, when you are blind, everything you see in him is good.
After Zhao Jiagu arrived at the county and paid the deposit, he started working in the kitchen.
He lived alone in the county and could eat and drink delicious food with only 500 coins a month.
Not to mention that it was the kitchen of the largest restaurant in the county, and on weekdays there was enough oil and water to save up almost all the wages.
But he refused to do so. He squandered the money he earned without considering how his family would live after selling the land they depended on for survival.
Zhao Jiagu just left like that, but the family had to continue living, so all the pressure of life fell on Zhao Maizhou.
Without land, there is no food.
After thinking it over, the taciturn man could not come up with a solution, so he could only become a disciple of the hunter at the east end of the village.
He might try his luck in the mountains someday. He didn't dare go into the deep mountains, but if he was lucky in the outer mountains, he would always get some small gains. For now, he should just live his life.
Actually, he could still breathe a sigh of relief that Zhao Jiagu didn't come back.
Otherwise, his eldest brother is like a bottomless pit, which can never be filled, but his mother still forbids others to say...
Zhao Maizhou thought that life would go on in peace, but he didn't expect that Zhao Jiagu would come back one day.
He also came back with a pregnant woman.
The person was a native of the county, named Liu Hong, and was the only daughter of the Liu family.
She had been arranged to marry before, but on the day of the wedding, her future husband suddenly died.
Her in-laws thought she was unlucky and sent her back home.
