Chapter 368 Sending Buddha to the West
"He also falsely accused me that he had done nothing but eat wontons. I didn't like him, so I beat him up and wanted to report me to the county government, punish me, and make me pay money. Only then can this matter be resolved."
"When I heard this, I was definitely wrong, so I cried out that I was wronged because that guy molested others. The county government brought the old man and his granddaughter from the wonton stall to question them, but they said there was no molestation at all, and it was just me who caused trouble at the wonton stall."
"In the end, I was beaten with a stick and fined ten taels of silver, and the matter was settled. The three of us brothers pooled our money for a long time, sold the house left by our parents in our hometown, and borrowed some silver to get enough money to pay it back."
"When the dock saw that I had committed a crime, they kicked us three brothers out and didn't allow us to work there anymore. We looked for work everywhere, but the news spread to everyone in our area, and most people were unwilling to hire us three brothers. Even if they did, the wages were very low. We three couldn't stay there, so we went somewhere else."
"It was not easy to find work along the way. Seeing that we were outsiders, some people wanted to bully us. We three brothers got angry and felt that we were not allowed to do good work and good people were not allowed to do it. So we simply didn't want to be good people. We would work for whoever gave us money, regardless of whether he was good or bad."
"We three brothers are tall, big, and fierce-looking. We've been in the casino and liquor store for a long time, so people come to us for work. We scare this one, ask that one for money, etc. But they are all small fights. If we really beat people up, break their legs, etc., we don't dare to do it. We just do things to mess with other people's business."
"This business offends many people. If you stay in a town for too long, it will be hard to make a living, so you move to the next town. I just came here a while ago..."
The first business deal hit a wall.
As thick as the wall.
"We learned a lesson last time, and we also remembered what Shopkeeper Zhuang said. We decided not to do this job anymore. We thought about looking for work and earning some money by selling our labor."
"But there are no docks or warehouses near this town. Most people are farming. Even if we hire people to do manual labor, we have to wait until the autumn harvest. It's not the busy season these days, so we have to spend the money we saved first..."
In other words, the current situation of several people is that they have no place to live and no fixed income.
Zhuang Qingning pursed his lips and looked at the three brothers again.
Previously, she saw the three brothers trigger a certain Five's mission of persuading people to be kind, which gave her some small rewards.
At that time, Zhuang Qingning was impressed by how quickly these three people turned over a new leaf, and guessed that they were probably not such bad people in nature. He did not expect that these three people had such an experience in the past.
In this case, there is still room for further transformation.
Thinking of how Hu Da had just stopped her and tried desperately to explain, Zhuang Qingning's heart suddenly softened and she had the idea of helping them.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the follow-up task of persuading people to be kind, the task of sending Buddha to the west. As long as the host completes the task of helping the three brothers of the Hu family find a suitable livelihood and settle down completely, he will receive a generous reward. ]
Forehead……
She understood the principle, which was to help these people find jobs. She could do it without any problem.
But are the system names so wild now?
This name doesn't sound like it means helping anyone, but rather like it means asking him to go and chop someone down.
[The system automatically sets this, so just listen to it and it will be fine if you get the general idea.]
This... the meaning is so different, okay?
[Ahem, don’t worry about the details…]
Well, never mind the details.
Anyway, there are mission rewards to be obtained, so it doesn’t matter what kind of mission it is.
If it's just to find a way to make a living for the three brothers of the Hu family...
The hot and sour noodle shop and tofu shop in the town don't need any staff at the moment, and Ruyi Pavilion probably doesn't need any either. The workshops at home are mostly run by young girls and wives, so it wouldn't be appropriate for a big and strong man to go there.
Zhuang Qingning thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable place to accommodate the three of them.
"Where do you usually live? If I come back to look for you, where should I look for you?" Zhuang Qingning asked.
"It's at the east end of the town. Go south along the outermost road. There is a soapberry tree at the door of the house." Hu Da answered honestly.
"Manager Zhuang, if you have something to tell me, please don't come to my house..."
The house at the edge of the town is cheap, but also really shabby.
People like Zhuang Qingning are not suitable to go to that kind of place.
Moreover, letting Zhuang Qingning see how miserable they were would make the three brothers look too embarrassed.
"Yes, there is something, but it's not arranged yet. I'll come to you after it's arranged." Zhuang Qingning thought for a while, took out the purse from his waist, estimated the number of copper coins in it, and threw it to Hu Da.
Hu Da took it subconsciously and quickly, with a look of surprise on his face, "Manager Zhuang, what are you doing..."
"As for the wages, help me do something later. It's not much, take it first, it's a deposit, and I'll give you more when the job is done." Zhuang Qingning replied.
"Oh, I thought it was something serious. Just tell Manager Zhuang what you want to do." Hu Da handed the money bag back, "Don't give me the money."
"Just take it if I tell you to." Zhuang Qingning said, "If you don't, I really don't trust you to do this."
Hu Da held the money bag and thought for a long time before nodding his head. "Okay, since Shopkeeper Zhuang said so, I will take the money first. When Shopkeeper Zhuang wants to do something, just tell us three brothers."
"Okay, you guys go first. I'll call you when I'm ready." Zhuang Qingning said.
"Okay." Hu Daxing nodded eagerly, "Then let's not bother Manager Zhuang for now. We have to help that family get the money back and send it back quickly."
"I'll come back to see the owner tomorrow when I'm free."
"I guess I won't be here these days. A new shop has opened in the county town. I'm busy supplying goods there. This matter..."
Zhuang Qingning tilted his head and said, "Let's wait until after the 15th."
"Okay." Hu Da agreed, and led Hu Er and Hu San, who were smiling and trying to please Zhuang Qingning, to quickly deliver the recovered money.
Zhuang Qingning watched the three brothers leave happily, and suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment as if he had done a good thing.
There’s no way around it, this is what a five-good youth is like.
only……
Now the five good youths need to walk back.
Zhuang Qingning sighed and looked at the street where there were people coming and going but no oxcarts were moving. Finally, he lifted his feet helplessly and walked towards his home.
Thanks to "Ge Zixi" for the monthly ticket, thank you for your support
