Zhao Xiuqing opened the door and saw a young man in a blue shirt standing outside. He was as slender as a bamboo and his black hair was tied up with a copper hairpin. He had a handsome face, with clear and elegant eyebrows and eyes as clear as morning dew. He had a good-looking face that was different from that of a country boy and had fair skin.
Zhao Xiuqing had a good memory. Although she had only seen this person from a distance twice, she still remembered him. This was Zhang Xiuyuan, who married Zhao Chuchu from their village.
"Yuan Fulang, is there something you came to see me for?
Speaking of this Yuan Fulang, he was the subject of heated discussion among the people of Zhaojia Village.
Yuan Fulang's family fled here and were not locals. He married Zhao Chuchu because of the high betrothal gift of fifty taels.
Speaking of Zhao Chuchu, she was not a good candidate for a wife in their Zhaojia Village. She was lazy and ate a lot, frequented brothels, and drank wine. She was married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but now, at the age of twenty, not even a teenager was willing to marry her.
When people heard that Zhang Xiuyuan was going to marry Zhao Chuchu, they felt sorry for him and thought that he would have a hard life after marriage.
Who would have thought that Zhao Chuchu would turn over a new leaf and not only take care of his family, but also figure out how to do business. Now the Zhao family's dishes and flower cakes are very popular in the county.
The Zhao family's business is doing very well now, and I heard they are planning to build a new house.
Everyone said that Zhang Xiuyuan was a lucky star, and some people also secretly said that he was good at educating his wife and wanted to ask him for some advice.
However, Zhao Xiuqing thought about it for a long time and realized that her family and Zhang Xiuyuan's family seemed to have never had any intersection, not even a conversation.
While Zhao Xiuqing was looking at Zhang Xiuyuan and wondering in her heart, Zhang Xiuyuan was also looking at her calmly.
Zhao Xiuqing usually does physical work, so he has a strong body, regular features, and looks like a loyal person.
As the eldest in the family, he has taken care of his parents and younger siblings for so many years without complaint and without complaint. It can be seen that he is a man of affection and loyalty.
"You are Sister Qing, right? Mr. Qiao introduced me here..." Zhang Xiuyuan told her his purpose and said that his family business needed to hire two people. He asked Zhao Xiuqing if she was willing. The Zhao family could pay seventy cents a day. If nothing unexpected happened, this job should be long-term.
When Zhao Xiuqing heard that it was a job introduction and the salary was seventy cents a day, she was stunned. She felt like a big pie had fallen on her and made her dizzy. She just wanted to laugh foolishly.
"Yuanfulang, are you, are you telling the truth?" Zhao Xiuqing was so excited that she was at a loss and didn't dare to believe it.
Zhang Xiuyuan looked at her innocent look and couldn't help but smile, "Of course it's true."
"Yuanfulang, we are willing, really."
Zhang Xiuyuan explained the content of the work to him in detail and agreed to start working at the Zhao family tomorrow.
After saying that, Zhang Xiuyuan left.
Zhao Xiuhe was far away and did not hear what her elder sister said to Zhang Xiuyuan. She only felt that her elder sister seemed very excited. Even after the man left, she was still standing there.
Because she was facing away from her, Zhao Xiuhe couldn't see the expression on her sister's face. She suddenly felt something was wrong. She walked closer and saw that her sister's face was covered with tears for some reason.
Zhao Xiuhe panicked, "Sister, why are you crying? Did that person bully you just now?"
The more she thought about it, the more possible it seemed to her. Being in a bad mood, she wanted to rush out to find Zhang Xiuyuan.
"No." Fortunately, Zhao Xiuqing quickly pulled her back. "That's our family's benefactor. It's my fault. I got too excited and scared you."
Zhao Xiuqing hurriedly told him about the work.
"He Jie'er, my elder sister has decided that you and the third brother will do this job. Yuan Fulang also said that you can get an advance on your wages. It's two taels. With the silver, you can get married."
