Chapter 386 Several Lazy Men in the Village



There was a lazy man standing to the side, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Just then, one of the men took a liking to Wang the Cripple, the most honest-looking man in the crowd.

"Brother Wang, if you go again tomorrow, could you take me with you?"

I wasn't home yesterday, and I only heard about it today.

Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who's lazy and unwilling to work.

Upon hearing this, Wang the Cripple nodded repeatedly, saying that anyone could do the job.

"Okay, then get up early tomorrow and we'll go together."

The man nodded repeatedly when he heard Wang the Cripple agree, and happily took his child and turned to walk back.

But my two little kids were crying as they saw other children holding candy.

"Dad, I want some candy too,"

"Daddy candy,"

"Alright, alright, Dad will go to work with them tomorrow too. I'll bring you candy when I get back tonight, lots and lots of it."

The two children were overjoyed to hear their father's promise.

The other lazy men's eyes lit up a little when they looked at Wang the Cripple.

"Brother Wang, let's go with you tomorrow."

Wang the Cripple frowned when he heard this, because these people were notoriously lazy in the village.

We've worked together before, even at the docks, unloading goods.

None of these people could endure hardship; they basically turned back as soon as they started.

Therefore, Wang the Cripple didn't dare to agree immediately, mainly because he was afraid that going there would implicate the other brothers in the village.

Wang the Cripple looked at the village chief, who knew perfectly well what Wang the Cripple was thinking.

He said directly, "Wang Caiwang, you said you were going to work. You know what kind of person you are."

If this were anywhere else, it wouldn't matter, but this is in front of the young princess. If you're caught slacking off, how will you explain it?

The villagers had finally seen a glimmer of hope, and you few have ruined it all. I'll kick you all out of the car!

After the village chief finished speaking, he just stared blankly at the few lazy, good-for-nothing men in front of him.

Wang Caiwang, who spoke first, understood from the village chief's words that the village chief had always been thinking of the village, and that they, this group of people, really couldn't endure much hardship.

But things are different now than usual (,,???,,)

They would be willing to do anything, even just carry goods at the docks, because that would cost them a tael of silver!

"Village chief, don't worry, we will definitely work hard. Before, when we went to the dock, we worked from morning till night and didn't earn much money, and we were exhausted."

That's why we were unwilling to turn back. This time, we certainly won't do it like before, after all, it's a tael of silver.

In Wang Caiwang's mind, let alone one or two taels of silver, even half a tael or 200 coins would be an astronomical price.

Previously, when I went to the dock to move things from morning till night, the manager there said I only received 30 coins.

Seeing the determination in the eyes of these people, the village chief finally nodded.

“Although anyone can do that job, you are from our village.”

The main reason is that I'm afraid you'll end up being kicked out, which will also implicate others.

Since you say you'll do a good job, I'll trust you this once.

Young man of the Wang family, you will take them with you tomorrow.

If they continue to act as irresponsibly as before, then they need to be properly disciplined.

After the village chief finished speaking, the others nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, I'm still a little afraid that they'll refuse no matter what, which would be a real problem.

These lazybones aren't just lazy; some of them even steal.

Usually, they would steal a couple of eggs from one house and a couple of bunches of vegetables from another, so I never paid much attention to it.

Most importantly, the village had previously encountered bandits.

If it weren't for these few lazy, scoundrels protecting the village, there might have been some casualties.

That's why the villagers don't say anything even if they lose eggs or vegetables.

"Alright, alright, stop here, hurry back, you haven't even had dinner yet."

After the old village chief finished speaking, he led his son back home first.

Seeing this, the others went home.

As soon as Wang the Cripple reached his doorstep, he saw Da Bao standing there, looking outside.

"Da Bao's dad is back."

When Da Bao saw his father, he gave him a bright smile. In Da Bao's heart, Wang the Cripple was already a beacon of salvation.

If it weren't for Wang the Cripple, Da Bao would definitely be dead in the mass grave like his mother.

In Da Bao's heart, Wang the Cripple was his father.

That person doesn't deserve it at all, whether he knows it or not.

He shouldn't have treated his mother like that.

Wang the Cripple looked at Da Bao, who seemed preoccupied, head down, lost in thought.

Since Da Bao was brought home and recovered from his injuries, he has been quiet and reserved.

You can often see the little one squatting quietly to the side, thinking about something, probably missing his mother.

Wang the Cripple never dared to mention his mother, for fear of hurting the feelings of his young son.

Thinking that with time, Da Bao would probably forget about his mother, and even if he did remember, it probably wouldn't be as clear as he remembered.

Several children were making a fuss in front of their father, looking at the candy their father had brought.

"Dad, this is the best! It's sweet! (●°u°●) 」"

Just then, Old Lady Wang came up to Crippled Wang.

He said, "Boss, come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Every household in the village was filled with joy as they waited at home.

I never imagined that the man in my family could bring back so many things after just one day of work.

Most importantly, I still have a few hundred coins left.

Old Wang followed his mother into the room, and then Old Mrs. Wang said, "You're not young anymore."

Now you can earn some money, and you can support your wife in the future.

Why don't I, your mother, take a look at some potential partners for you? What do you think?

The eldest daughter of the Liu family in the next village still hasn't found a suitable partner; I heard her family is asking for a lot of money.

But that young lady, her mother had met her before. She was quite good-looking and had a good temperament. She seemed like an honest and decent girl.

Mother thought, why don't we have each family chip in as a loan to you first, and you can pay them back later when you earn money?

"Now that I've found a good match for you, it'll be a huge weight lifted off my shoulders."

Wang the Cripple shook his head as he listened to what his mother said.

"Mother, no matter how good that girl is, I don't want her."

The two people inside the room were talking, unaware that Da Bao was squatting outside the window.

Today, Da Bao vaguely sensed that his grandmother seemed to be hiding something from him.

Just now, when Grandma called her father into the house, Da Bao's eyelids kept twitching.

I had a feeling that something was going to happen, so I ran to the window of my grandmother's house and eavesdropped on the conversation inside.

When Da Bao heard that his grandmother wanted to find a wife for his father, his heart sank.

After all, I am not a child of the Wang family.
