Chapter 225 The Last Wish of a Second Married Man

When Zhong Huaijing heard Chang'an say this, his face suddenly darkened. Zhong Xiaoli, who was hiding behind him, quietly pulled her second brother's clothes.

Changan ignored the siblings' little tricks, and the father and son ran very fast, as if they were afraid that the siblings would pester them.

Zhong Xiaoli looked at Changan and Gu Laoliu's backs with a gloomy expression, "Second brother, what do they mean? Do they look down on us? It's not our fault that our family is poor. Do they think we want to live in such poverty?"

"Go back. Don't play with him anymore. Didn't your elder brother go to town to take the exam? He will definitely pass the exam and get a regular job. We will have a good life in the future and we won't care about anyone."

Their entire conversation fell into the ears of Shen Zhiyi who was not far away, and she thought of the voices she had just heard.

She didn't know when the incident happened, maybe in the previous life or maybe in the future.

But it didn't stop her from knowing that Zhong Huaizhi was ungrateful. Want to be a regular employee? Eat your ass.

Shen Zhiyi threw the small sack on her back and ran home panting. She wanted to ask her third brother to disrupt Huang Zhonghuaizhi's work.

Oops! I didn’t hear which factory he took the exam in.

It seems that I have to go to the commune to find my second uncle and ask him for help.

But someone was quicker than her. The freshmen and high school students found two regular jobs and one temporary job in the town as quickly as possible. One of the regular jobs was the one that Zhong Huaizhi was applying for.

Then it was snatched away by Da Yi's operation, but Zhong Huaizhi himself didn't know it. He came out of the shoe factory and walked on the street in high spirits, as if he would definitely get the job.

I can only say that he is unlucky to meet a freshman or a senior high school student. Even if he is the male lead, he will still snatch you away without any negotiation.

However, even if the freshman had not intervened, someone else would have replaced his grades. This was the case in the original plot, in order to highlight the difficulties and frustrations of the male protagonist, a commoner at the bottom of society, and to pave the way for Zhong Huai's future success.

The next day, when Gu Laoliu got home from get off work, he told Mrs. Gu that he had vacancies for two full-time jobs and one temporary job.

"Old lady, who do you think should go first? Don't worry, I will find more for you later, and try to make everyone in our family a worker."

Old Mrs. Gu and the Gu brothers: This is just bragging, they are too embarrassed to respond.

"It'll be decided by drawing lots. Sixth brother, go and break off some sticks. Mingrui is sixteen this year, Mingfei is fifteen, and all the daughters-in-law will participate."

Changan wanted to applaud Old Lady Gu for being so fair. Whether or not one could get a job depended entirely on one's luck.

But why break the stick? Her father can write, "Grandma, it's not a big deal to let my father write a few notes."

Grandma Gu: “…I forgot.”

A bunch of people are illiterate, and suddenly a literate person appears, and she always forgets everything.

While they were talking, Gu Laoliu broke off a bunch of small wooden sticks of different lengths and brought them back.

"Come on, come on, if you get the longer one, don't go, just go with the shorter one," Gu Laoliu thought this was very fun and he could play it a few more times.

Brother Gu and the others were nervous and excited. The person who got the long sign was like a spark that was suddenly poured with a basin of cold water. A little smoke came out with a "hiss" and then was blown away by the wind.

Gu Laoliu coughed lightly and announced the results in a pretentious manner, "The winners are: Gu Mingfei, one temporary worker, Gu Chengyong (second brother), Jiang Meihua (third sister-in-law), one regular worker each.

Don’t be discouraged if you didn’t win. You will have another chance next time. I believe Lao Liu will definitely lead you to the pinnacle of life.”

"Just blow it," Old Mrs. Gu scolded with a smile.

They didn't think much about not getting a job. There were only three jobs and drawing lots was fair. If Mrs. Gu had directly said who the job would be given to, they might have thought she was biased.

The happiest ones were the second branch, who got two jobs. They were so excited that they wanted to kowtow to Gu Laoliu.

Well, of course not. The old lady is very superstitious. If they dare to kowtow, Old Lady Gu will chase them for two miles with a kitchen knife.

With the jobs, the food supply had to be moved to the town. As soon as the second brother Gu and his men moved, everyone in the village knew that the old Gu family had three more workers.

There are those who are envious, jealous, and sarcastic. There are quite a few jealous people who are all criticizing others behind their backs.

"Some people who have never been to school will definitely not be able to work for a few days. You will see that they will soon return to farming."

"I think so too. No factory would want you if you can't even read."

Several old ladies gathered together and whispered, as if they were afraid that others would hear what they were saying? The disdainful expressions on their faces could be seen from a distance.

It is actually wrong to say that the brothers of the Gu family are illiterate. At least they have attended the third grade of primary school. What's more, they are smart. When their father Gu was alive, he would pressure them to study. Now they probably have the knowledge level of a junior high school student.

Of course, if they have no academic qualifications and rely on themselves, they won’t even be qualified to take the exam, let alone work as temporary workers. But with the two support of freshman year and freshman year of high school, even if they are really illiterate, they can be turned into workers.

The two siblings of the Zhong family also heard this on their way to deliver water to their brother. Zhong Xiaoli said unwillingly, "The Gu family is so lucky. Second brother, it's really unfair. The Gu family already has a worker and a soldier. Why do they get all the good things?"

"Don't worry, they won't stay that way forever. Look at the landlords in the past. They were better off than the Gu family, but now they live in shabby houses, even worse off than ours."

Zhong Huaijing was a man who was good at making comparisons, and he quickly comforted Zhong Xiaoli. However, he was thinking in his heart that the Gu family could live so well, there must be something shady going on, so he might as well find a time to report them.

Shen Zhiyi, who was weeding in the field nearby, heard their conversation and frowned. He used to feel sorry for these two children, who were not well fed and clothed.

Now that I think about it, there is nothing to be pitied about them. How poor is their family? The Zhong family still relies on Zhong Huaizhi to earn work points to support the family.

The two children are already seven or eight years old, and Aunt Zhong is not too old to work in the fields. They are just lazy and they brought poverty upon themselves.

Shen Zhiyi may have cleared the confusion in his mind and had a different opinion of the Zhong family. He no longer had the sympathy he had before, nor did he have the chastity to help them.

"Zhiyi, are you feeling uncomfortable under the sun? Why don't you go back?" Seeing her daughter squatting there for a long time without moving, Shen's mother came over from the other side to see what was wrong with her.

Shen Zhiyi was called back to her senses and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm fine. It's not a lot of work and I'll finish it soon."

"Okay, you take care of yourself. It's too hot. Don't get a heat stroke."

Seeing that her daughter did not seem to be in trouble, Shen's mother returned to her mission site, and Shen Zhiyi began a new round of imagination.

Someone murmured to himself, "Why not let Zhong Huai live in the village for the rest of his life, take care of his brothers and sisters, and be filial to his mother. People like him shouldn't stand out."

She thought again of Zhong Huaizhi's act of crossing the river and then destroying the bridge. Although this has not happened to her yet, she still feels uncomfortable.

It would be better to pin Zhong Huaizhi to death in Nanpo Village so that he has no chance to succeed.
