Chapter 2380 Shu Quan Comes to the Door
After seeing Chengxian's letter of introduction, the second family politely invited the two of them in.
However, once inside the house, they found it to be very... lively, with too many people.
This man is capable and also loves his wife very much.
The problem is that his wife is a very soft-hearted person, so soft-hearted that she has adopted many children.
Shu Yu did not comment on such behavior. Some children are indeed pitiful, and it is a kind act for someone to provide them with shelter from the wind and rain.
Shu Yu herself would also take care of such people within her own capabilities.
Yes, within our capabilities.
But the wife of this family clearly didn't think that way. She couldn't even take care of her own children, focusing all her kindness on the poor children outside, bringing them home one by one, which resulted in her two children being squeezed in a corner, becoming pitifully thin.
Shu Yu could only shake his head at this. Even if the head of the household didn't approve of his wife's behavior, he hadn't stopped her. Shu Yu admired his wife's doting nature, but when it reached an unbridled level, he worried that handing the shop over to him would bring endless trouble.
The second one was also eliminated.
They went to the third one.
The third family was quite good. The couple was harmonious, and although their children were a bit mischievous, it wasn't a big deal. Overall, Shuyu was very satisfied.
The fourth family was also good. Although the man was a widower, his children were cared for by their mother, and he was a man of good character and had many ideas.
Shu Yu weighed the two options for a long time before finally choosing the third.
After making the selection, Shu Yu explained her intentions.
The third man was named Luo Shu. He was over thirty years old and quite shrewd. He had connections with everyone in Tai Prefecture, from government officials to local bullies.
Shu Yu tested him, and his character was fine.
So the choice of manager was settled, and finding a shop assistant became much simpler.
Shu Yu thought of the people from Zhengdao Village and Heichang County, who had received favors from her in those two places.
She wanted to choose two people from these two places, but Heichang County was quite far from Taifu, so if they were to come, it would be considered as leaving their hometown.
When Shu Yu went to Zhengdao Village, quite a few people signed up. Being a shopkeeper in the provincial government was a respectable and enviable job, even if they hadn't been exiled.
After much deliberation, Shu Yu finally chose Zhang Ping'an from the Zhang family.
Zhang Ping'an had learned to read, and Aunt Zhang had exchanged food with Shu Yu on the first day of her exile. Zhang Ping'an was a very honest person, quick and hardworking, and all things considered, he was a suitable candidate.
But Zhang Ping'an's wife disagreed. She probably heard that Aunt Zhang had originally intended to match him with Shu Yu, and was afraid that something might happen between them. She made a fuss and insisted that he refuse the job.
Aunt Zhang was furious; she wanted nothing more than to grab a broom and beat this woman who was hindering her husband's future out of the house.
Who knew that she would find out at this time that she was pregnant? Aunt Zhang was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to hit her or not.
Faced with the choice between leaving their hometown to work in the provincial capital and having a future grandson, the Zhang family ultimately chose the child in the womb and tearfully refused the job.
Shu Yu was also helpless about this. She just thought Zhang Ping'an was suitable, but she found that Meng Yunzheng seemed to be in a much better mood.
Unexpectedly, just as Shu Yu was preparing to recruit new people, Shu Quan came knocking on her door as soon as the news was released.
In the final stages... it should be finished in a few days.
