Chapter 816 Manager Lu has found you an easy job
The magistrate was taken aback, then burst into laughter. "No wonder Lord Qi values Lord Lu so highly. I certainly feel much more at ease speaking with you."
Shu Yu felt ashamed; she was telling the truth.
The magistrate waved his hand, "Alright, I'll ask Wang Changdong about this."
Wang Changdong had no idea that the thing he had been dreaming of was about to happen to him. The wasteland was still a bit far from the village, and he didn't dare keep the magistrate waiting. So he brought out his little donkey and hurried over to the wasteland.
After sweating profusely, they finally saw Xu Dali carrying a load in the field.
Wang Changdong got off the donkey, wiped his sweat, and waved to him, "Xu Dali, Xu Dali, come here for a moment."
People working on the wasteland turned to look. Xu Dali staggered when he heard his name and almost knelt down, but Lin quickly caught him and put the basket on the ground.
People nearby whispered among themselves, "What happened? Why did Manager Wang come to see Xu Dali in person?"
“Just now at lunchtime, the Liu family came to deliver food, and I happened to overhear their conversation. They seemed to mention that several important figures had come to the estate. Manager Wang's visit to Xu Dali must be related to them.”
"I remember Xu Dali's father used to work for some prince. Could it be that he's gotten into some trouble again, which has worsened his punishment?"
"Alas, what a pity. The Xu family has been in exile for so long, and they were just about to regain their freedom and have their suffering finally over."
The whispers around them naturally reached the ears of Xu Dali and Lin Shi.
Lin's face suddenly turned pale. She couldn't help but grab Xu Dali's hand, her voice trembling slightly, "No, could something really have happened?"
"Don't worry, I'll go take a look."
However, Wang Changdong couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that Xu Dali hadn't come over yet, he ran directly to the ridge in front of them.
"Why are you dawdling like that? Hurry up and come back with me. The adults are waiting."
Xu Dali took a deep breath, took Lin's hand, glanced at Xu Zhensheng who walked anxiously to his side, and asked Wang Changdong, "Manager Wang, has something happened?"
Wang Changdong laughed heartily, "Good thing, your luck has come."
Xu Dali was taken aback, somewhat surprised, "Good news?"
"That's right, Steward Lu. I've found you an easier job. But you have to come back with me first and make a good impression in front of the magistrate. Otherwise, you won't get this job."
Before things were settled, Wang Changdong didn't want to speak up, so he just waved his hand and said, "Alright, hurry up, stop dawdling."
Xu Dali was momentarily dazed. Had he heard correctly? Manager Wang said that Miss Lu had found him an easy job?
He and Lin exchanged a glance, and without thinking much, they quickly got up and went up to the ridge of the field.
Wang Changdong glanced at Lin Shi and Xu Zhensheng, then at the incredibly curious onlookers, paused, and waved his hand, "Bring your wife and children along too. You'll only work half a day today."
Xu Dali thanked him gratefully, and then helped his wife and children upstairs.
The family of three hurriedly followed Wang Changdong to the village.
The others on the wasteland looked at each other, itching with curiosity.
However, someone inappropriately looked towards the Shu family's direction. Just now, Steward Wang said that Miss Lu had helped them find a good job.
