173: Sure enough, the second child is more stupid
Halfway through, Lao Pu put Yu Xiaoye in a relatively safe place and asked Yu Xiaoye to wait there while he went to the Ninth Company alone to find the two brothers.
To be honest, Lao Pu did not have a good impression of the two brothers. He always felt that one was stupid and the other was bad, and together they were both stupid and bad. Lao Pu could not imagine what life would be like for their family if he took the two brothers home.
It was already difficult for a family of three to support themselves relying solely on Yu Jiahui's salary.
Now there are two more burdens. Is it possible that the family of five can only rely on Yu Jiahui's monthly salary of 28 yuan to support them?
I can’t imagine it!
Lao Pu and Sai Jinhua are both regular workers on the farm, earning 32 yuan a month, which together makes 64 yuan.
Sixty-four dollars was more than enough to feed the two of them, so he couldn't imagine how miserable it would be to feed five people on twenty-eight dollars.
A scene of five people gathered together to eat steamed buns with wild vegetables suddenly appeared in Lao Pu’s mind.
So miserable!
However, Lao Pu made up his mind that it was fine for others to eat steamed buns with wild vegetables, which was none of his business, but he would never let Xiao Ye suffer at all!
At worst, they will support Xiaoye in the future, and let Xiaoye eat and wear their food and clothes. They will never let Xiaoye suffer with Lao Yu's family!
Lao Pu was thinking along the way and came to the place where he had met the two brothers before, but the brothers had not arrived yet.
The two brothers sometimes come early and sometimes come late.
If they came late, Lao Pu would have to wait a little longer.
He took out the old dry pipe from his waist, scooped some tobacco leaves into the pipe bowl, lit it with a match, and sat down against a birch tree, smoking the old dry pipe while waiting.
This time I waited for about five minutes. Just as I finished a pack of cigarettes, the two brothers appeared carrying a bundle of firewood.
These days, the two brothers probably ate grilled fish. They seemed to be whiter and fatter than before. It seemed that the grilled fish that the little wild girl fed them were not in vain.
When the two brothers saw Lao Pu waiting there, they quickened their pace and came over here. Without saying much, the two brothers directly put a bundle of firewood on Lao Pu's carriage.
Seeing that Lao Pu had nothing in his hands, the somewhat silly man who should be the second brother asked:
"What about the fish? No fish today?"
Lao Pu choked up:
"What's the matter? I bring you fish every day, but today I don't bring you any, and you're holding a grudge against me. So I owe you, right?"
Yu Erye stopped talking.
Yu Daye tried to smooth things over and said:
"That's not what I meant. We won't eat without grilled fish. Here's the firewood for you—"
What that means is, the firewood has been given to you, and now you have to pay.
However, Lao Pu did not pay today. He put the old pipe back on his waist and said:
"You two brothers only make 1.1 cents a day selling firewood. That's not enough to support yourselves. How about this? You two come with me and I'll find you a job."
When Yu Erye heard about looking for a job, his eyes widened:
"Work? You're going to find us jobs?!"
Sure enough, this guy is a bit stupid and believes everything he is told.
Lao Pu smiled rarely:
"Yes, you all go back quietly now and bring your luggage and bedding here. Don't make a sound, don't tell anyone, just come with me quietly."
Yu Erye nodded excitedly:
"Okay, wait, I'll go back and get my luggage!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Yu Daye grabbed Yu Laoer by the back of his neck:
"Second brother, come back!"
"Brother, listen, he wants to find a job for us!"
Yu Daye did not scold Yu Erye in front of Lao Pu, but glared at Yu Erye fiercely, and then asked calmly:
"What kind of work can you find for us?"
Lao Pu sneered:
"What kind of job is it? I can't let you be the site manager, right?"
Yu Daye also sneered:
"We don't dare to be the director, but what exactly do we do? You have to tell me a title, right?"
"Anyway, I'm going to give you food to eat, a place to live, and a job that pays you. I won't sell you out. You two grown men, I'm not going to sell you out to a useless old man like me, am I?"
This sentence slightly dispelled Yu Daye's doubts.
Yu Daye also felt that although this old man was a bit mysterious, he not only came to buy their firewood every day, but also brought them fish every day. The fish alone was worth a lot of money, but the old man gave it to them for free.
They really couldn't understand why the old man did this.
So Yu Daye always had doubts in his heart.
They also suspected that the old man wanted to poison them, but why would the old man poison them if they had no grudge against each other?
Besides, if you want to poison them, there is no need to go through so much trouble and buy firewood from them. You can just poison them to death directly.
In addition, they ate the grilled fish given by the old man for several days and showed no signs of poisoning. Instead, they gained some weight and became stronger than before, so they gradually came to believe that the old man had no ill intentions.
But they still couldn't understand why the old man did this.
Now the old man wants to find them jobs. How can such a good thing happen in this world?!
Could it be that God has opened his eyes and secretly sent someone to save them?
impossible!
Yu Daye didn't believe it, didn't believe he would have such good luck.
Yu Daye had a lot to think about and was full of doubts.
But Yu Erye's thoughts were simpler. There were only two words in his mind:
Work!
Two words that mean gorgeous, golden, and dazzling.
It has always been his dream to have a job that provides him with a stable income and monthly salary. How could he miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
If he had a job, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to save money.
If he can save enough money, he can go back to his hometown and marry Cuihua!
He became nervous when he thought that Cuihua could become his wife.
So he grabbed his eldest brother and said loudly:
"Brother, let's go back and pack our things and go with this uncle. No matter what kind of job we find, it's better than staying at Old Li's house, right?"
Yu Daye still refused to believe Lao Pu easily. He looked the man up and down as if he was reading Lao Pu's fortune.
To be honest, Lao Pu looks honest and doesn't look cunning or deceitful at first glance, but who can guarantee that everyone can be consistent in what they say and what they really are?
So Yu Daye still refused to believe it easily.
Seeing that Yu Daye was not so easy to fool, Lao Pu sighed, made a gesture to take money out of his pocket, and said with regret:
"Forget it. I gave you this opportunity for nothing, but you didn't know how to seize it. You deserve to be poor for the rest of your life. I'll go find someone else, but from now on, I won't buy firewood from you anymore. Sell your firewood to someone else. This is the last deal—"
Yu Erye was afraid of missing this opportunity, so he stepped forward and said:
"Uncle, I'm going with you, I'm going with you, you find me a job!"
Lao Pu took his hand out of his pocket again, raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"Okay, boy, you have courage, more courageous than your brother!" - Easier to fool than your brother!
