"What the hell is this? You have all the skills, why are you trying to steal a woman's job?"
"Didn't they say they only recruit female workers?"
The man was kicked down but didn't dare to resist. He crawled on the ground and begged for mercy: "General, please spare my life, General, please spare my life! I can do what these women can do. I am stronger than them. Please let me in."
"Get out!" He was answered by an angry curse and the black muzzle of a gun.
An Jingzhi stood behind the three sisters, and they looked at these people one by one to see if their qualifications met the recruitment requirements.
Next to An Jingzhi stood a resolute-looking man in military uniform. The soldiers on both sides of the three sisters were called by this man to help protect them.
"Mr. Shanhe's three mothers are so kind, no wonder they were able to raise a scholar like Mr. Shanhe!"
The group of refugees surrounding the city gate can only be driven away and cannot be allowed to enter the city, otherwise the order in the city will be completely disrupted.
But we can't be too violent in driving them away. We can't just start machine gunning, right? We still have to be mindful of the impact around the Magic City; all the countries are watching here.
But you don't need to use violence to drive them away, and they are willing to leave. After thinking about it, the only option is to ask the merchants in Shanghai to help recruit workers so that these people can have a job to support their families.
However, there were very few responses, and most of those who came did not have good intentions.
There are not many people who really want to share the government's burden or help refugees.
"You're welcome." An Jingzhi said.
"Hey, I haven't been educated for many years, but I can't get into other articles. I have read every one of Mr. Shanhe's articles."
"Other people's writings about patriotism and concern for the people always feel empty, but Mr. Shanhe's is different."
"Mr. Shanhe's article is not just whining; it's very practical, and his analysis of the international situation is incredibly accurate."
At this point, he suddenly leaned over to An Jingzhi's ear and whispered, "I've read Mr. Shanhe's article about the evil ambitions of the island nation's common people several times."
"I actually think so too, but unfortunately the government has turned a deaf ear to it."
An Jingzhi didn't expect to meet a fan when he went out of the city gate. Fortunately, this fan was able to provide them with some convenience.
After glancing at the three mothers protected by the two soldiers, he turned and said, "The people above must have their own considerations. All I can do is express my own opinion."
The man suddenly sighed, looked at the refugees in the distance, and thought of the prosperity in the city. He felt depressed and lost the excitement of seeing his idol.
After giving An Jingzhi a few words, he asked the two soldiers to protect themselves and then went to do other things.
Xie Yingfeng looked at the increasingly long line, and felt only sadness in his heart.
The three sisters looked at each other, sighed, and began to pick one by one.
I originally wanted to find some healthy refugees, but how could there be such a thing as healthy people? Having all four limbs intact was good enough.
Facing the three men's selective gazes, the women in the queue all showed anticipation on their faces - that was the desire to survive.
Xie Yingfeng stopped in front of a woman with a thick frame and abnormally sunken cheeks. She was obviously a good worker, but she was so hungry that it was unknown how long she had not eaten proper food.
The woman was followed by a little girl about ten years old. Judging from their situation, her actual age might be even older.
Before Xie Yingfeng could ask, the woman immediately pulled the little girl behind her and knelt in front of the three people.
"Please take me in, three goddesses. Please take me in, three female Bodhisattvas. I can do any heavy work, even the heavy work that men can't do!"
The sudden change aroused the vigilance of the soldiers on both sides.
Before Xie Yingfeng and the other two could react, she pulled her little daughter and kowtowed.
Seeing this, the two soldiers retracted their guns, turned their heads away, and a trace of pity flashed in their eyes.
"Hurry up and get up. If you kowtow again, I won't challenge you." Xie Yingfeng, who always had a hot temper, softened his voice.
The other party quickly pulled his daughter to her feet, thanking her repeatedly as he stood up.
"You used to be a textile worker in your hometown?"
The other party nodded repeatedly, "I have done it, I have done it!"
He pulled the little girl next to him over and said, "This is my daughter. She's sixteen years old this year. Don't underestimate her age. She only looks skinny because she's been hungry all this time. But she's actually very capable at work. She worked as a textile worker for a year and was praised by her employer! She's even more meticulous than experienced women workers!"
She hurriedly introduced the strengths of herself and her daughter, fearing that she would miss this hard-earned chance to survive.
Before the three female Bodhisattvas came, there were people who came to recruit female workers, but it was obvious that those jobs were not serious ones. It didn't matter because she was old, but it was not the same for her daughter!
Xie Yingfeng looked at the little girl who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, and didn't expect that she was actually sixteen years old?
She was silent for a moment, then nodded under the other party's expectant gaze. "I can recruit you. As for whether your daughter's skills are up to par, I'll have to give her a try when the time comes. Only then can I decide whether to take her or not."
The joy just appeared on the woman's face but immediately froze. Before she could say anything, the second lady beside her explained:
"She's still young, so we can't just trust you. But even if she can't work, your wages alone are enough to support her."
The woman in front of him breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately pulled her daughter over. Just as she was about to kneel down to thank him, she was stopped by Xie Yingfeng.
"Okay, no need to thank me. If you want to thank me, you can help me with more work. Now you stay with me, and you can come in with me after I recruit people."
The woman thanked them profusely and pulled her daughter to follow them, step by step, fearing that if they got lost, they would miss the chance to survive.
The light in the eyes of the other people who saw this scene was even more obvious, and they began to talk about their own situations.
But as soon as some people opened their mouths, Xie Yingfeng knew they were lying. She wanted to help others, but she was not a living Bodhisattva who would drag herself down in order to help others.
Of course, she had no ill feelings towards these people; they were just trying to survive.
The soldiers on both sides saw an old man of a different gender in the team and were about to drive him away when a young girl next to him immediately explained:
"This is my dad! He's not in line, he's just standing next to me."
The soldier frowned, and seeing that An Jingzhi and the others had no intention of chasing them away, he ignored them.
Xie Yingfeng asked, "Have you ever worked as a textile worker?"
The other party shook her head, but immediately explained: "Although I have never been a textile worker, I have studied for a few years and I can read!"
Xie Yingfeng was a little surprised. This little girl's conversation was naturally different from others. "Since you can read, your family must be well-off. How did you become a refugee?"
The little girl's face showed no emotion, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"So what if my family is well off? What's supposed to be gone is still gone."
