Chapter 28: The Poor

Sanzhi was stunned for a moment, looked back, and found that the middle-aged man was really talking to himself, and asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”

The middle-aged man walked over impatiently and pushed her out of the door, "You can't." ”

Liu Xiaohua hurriedly helped Sanzhi, "We are very capable of hardship." ”

The middle-aged man said coldly: "What are the disabled people please do?" We are looking for a person who twists the medicine, and we have to use the strength of our feet. ”

Only then did the two of them know that it was because the three legs were not yet neat, and he saw that he was a little lame when he walked.

Sanzhi also wanted to defend himself, "I'm not disabled, I have a leg injury and I'm almost healed." ”

But the two of them were still pushed out by the people who took care of the pharmacy. Even Liu Xiaohua was not hired. Let them hurry away and stay out of the way.

Although Sanzhi felt aggrieved, he didn't make as much noise as before.

It's just that now the future of the two people is worrying. "Why don't we go and do the laundry?" Mitsueda said.

It's easier to find these chores than to go to the pharmacy. And there are not many requirements.

Liu Xiaohua comforted her: "It's better to be a pharmacist than to wash clothes." I am afraid that there is a lot of division of labor in making medicine, and the process is also complicated, so there must be some technical places. If you are familiar with it, it can be regarded as a skill, and in the future, maybe people will compete for you, and your salary will rise. Washable clothes, no matter how good and experienced they are, they are useless. In the future, anyone who is younger than you and has more convenient hands and feet can also replace you. ”

Sanzhi nodded, "Then we'll find a job making medicine." Try another shop that doesn't use your feet, you will always find it. ”

The two of them went down the street and asked from house to house, but when they reached the end of the street, they didn't get anything. Liu Xiaohua looked back at the lively flow of people on the street, feeling particularly lonely and helpless.

The two of them ran around for a day, but they returned in vain.

When he returned to the small building, Atai had already returned to rest, but the girl had not returned.

Sanzhi walked over and sat down beside Atai, but he didn't wake up, and his tired face looked very pitiful. Sanzhi whispered to Liu Xiaohua: "His face used to be round. Liu Xiaohua was also silent.

Sanzhi went down lightly and bought bread. When Atai wakes up, he can eat it.

After a while, Atai woke up, and it turned out that he had only come back to rest for a few hours, and he was about to go to work.

Liu Xiaohua calculated, he slept for less than six hours in the past two days combined. It's completely overdrawing your body. And looking at what he is accustomed to, this kind of life is probably the norm. It's all about trading your health for money, and it's just a meager wage.

"I heard that Duobao Zhai is hiring people." Ah Tai stuffed the cake in his mouth and said, "I couldn't have come back today, but when I got the news, I found someone to work on my behalf and rushed back to sue you." ”

Saneda was overjoyed.

But Ah Tai was very worried and said, "Ah Chun's arm is useless. ”

Sanzhi was puzzled and asked, "Which Ah Chun?" ”

Later, I realized that it was the girl she didn't like. It was fine the day before, but today it became a waste. Even if I don't like her, I feel very bad in my heart.

"How can it be scrapped?" Liu Xiaohua asked in surprise.

"The Dan furnace has exploded." Atai's expression was very bitter.

"What then?" Mieda asked in shock.

"What can I do. I've already called someone from her family to pick her up. It is possible to lose some money. Atai sighed.

"How much can you lose? She didn't have an arm. ”

"It's their family who wants to lose money to the drug store." "Mr. Big said," said Mr. Great, that it was because she fell asleep while watching the fire that she had broken the furnace and all the medicines in the furnace. How can you not ask her for compensation. ”

Liu Xiaohua was speechless. The three of them sat there, none of them spoke, and the atmosphere was unusually heavy. How much does a Dan furnace cost, and how much is the medicine in the furnace worth, I also know that for poor people, it is astronomical. What will happen to Ah Chun in the future, and what will happen to her family, I really can't think about it.

At the same time, I am glad that it did not happen to me.

After a while, Sanzhi suddenly said, "Her arm must be cured." At least if it is cured, it will be able to do things and make money again in the future. Not to be a waste. My leg was also broken, but it was healed. ”

It was then that Atay noticed her legs. I was too busy to care about this. Now asked what happened, Atai was shocked and said, "You're really lucky." The kind of talisman that can be attached to a severed limb to heal this kind of injury is very precious. To refine it, it takes a lot of secret methods, and even ordinary officials are reluctant to use it. ”

Sanzhi was apprehensive when he heard this, and immediately said to Liu Xiaohua: "The sixth prince is really a good person!" Asked Ah Tai with concern, "What will Chun do in the future?" ”

Atai said vaguely, "Who knows." We can't control her business. Don't ask. Don't forget to go to Duobao Zhai to find a job. Go early. A few words were spoken. He hurried away. Even if he had some unusual affection for the girl, he would probably soon forget about it.

Liu Xiaohua looked at his back silently, and really didn't know whether to blame the ruthlessness of the world or the difficulty of the world.

The three branches left behind sighed for a while. is a good person, and in an instant, his life is ruined like this. Sanzhi said depressedly, "I even cursed her." It's like I've cursed it. "I regret it.

"Every man has his own life." Liu Xiaohua had no choice but to comfort her like this: "She is unlucky, how can I blame you." If a sentence is really that useful, we are not like that now. ”

Liu Xiaohua and Sanzhi didn't know where Duobaozhai was, nor did they know where it was, but hope was rekindled in their hearts.

Early the next morning, the two of them set off. I asked all the way to the place, but found that Duobao Zhai was in the narrow door I saw yesterday.

This faΓ§ade is not a meter wide, as if someone has installed a door in the gap between the buildings on both sides.

There was dead grass hanging outside, but there was not a single person looking for work. I don't know if it's because the location is inconspicuous and no one can see it, or because those who are looking for work don't look down on such a small place.

Liu Xiaohua, Sanzhi and other people who resisted the goods came out before entering the door.

As soon as you enter the door, it is a long and narrow road. It's about fifty or sixty meters. Busy. After walking through the redundant road, it opened up. Directly away is a large yard. There were many bags of medicinal herbs pushed in the courtyard, and there were many people settling on the side.

As soon as they came in, a little girl came over, "Are you looking for work?" "Because they were dressed like they could not have been guests.

Liu Xiaohua said yes. The little girl looked the two of them up and down, and told them to go with her.

After entering the courtyard, and then passing through the crowded hall is the backyard. There are rows of houses in the backyard, and someone is busy in each room.

The little girl took them to the empty field in the backyard, where there were already a dozen people standing. A very well-dressed woman was talking to them.

"Siniang, two more are here." The little girl led Liu Xiaohua and Sanzhi over.

Siniang looked at them lazily. Q: "When can I do something?" ”

Sanzhi was originally very nervous, and when he came over, he had been enduring the pain, and wanted to walk normally, but he was really relieved to see that Siniang saw that he was a little lame but didn't care.

Liu Xiaohua replied, "You can do it now." All we need to do is report back and let our fellow villagers know where we are. ”

Siniang said impatiently, "Report? Whatever you want. ”

Sanzhi hurriedly said, "Don't come back in an hour." ”

The fourth mother didn't think so, and still said, "Whatever." But then she told them to stand with the dozen men, and she said to the little girl who had delivered the message, "Take the dead grass off the door." Turning his head, he began to explain the rules for doing things here in the future.

Liu Xiaohua was glad that she and Sanzhi were fast. I also understand why Atai came back to inform them.

Siniang said to everyone: "Since you are here, you must know the rules here." We take care of food and shelter here, and we pay once a month. I'll give you a change of clothes. Replace the old ones and give them to us, and don't bring anything into the pharmacy. You can't walk around in the backyard. Whatever you do, at least two of you have to make the trip. When working in the workshop, do not pass on information to outsiders without permission. If you have anything to do with someone outside, make it clear to the person in charge of you. Her voice was a little hoarse, and she never dragged her words when she spoke, and she was very decisive. As soon as you hear it, you are the one who often gives the command.

Liu Xiaohua hurriedly asked: "How much is the monthly salary?" ”

She glanced at Liu Xiaohua, "Two dollars a month." ”

Sanzhi winked at Liu Xiaohua and almost cheered. Although the two dollars are not much, they save a lot of expenses by taking care of food and housing. It's no wonder that it's full of jobs.

After Siniang finished explaining the rules, she asked these people to line up in the middle of the courtyard to distribute clothes.

Everyone present had to register their names, seniors, and places of residence before they could receive their clothes.

When she asked one of the women, she couldn't tell the right about the tribe and generation, and then asked about other things, but they were all branched, and it was found out that she was not from the Liu family, so she was immediately driven out.

There are also some things that are not so neat, and Siniang will ask more questions.

For example, if there are people in the family, what is the name of the village chief, if they live in the city, ask who is the person in the same branch.

While I was busy writing the list, a few people suddenly came from the front hall to the back yard. Siniang immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Li is good." "It couldn't be more attentive.

The old man at the front stopped and looked this way, but with a "hmm" sound, he went into the workshop on the south side. Liu Xiaohua could only see that his beard and hair were all white. It looks a little fairy, and his expression is very cold. Unattainable look.

Siniang watched the old gentleman leave, and then she lowered her face and said to everyone, "That's the big gentleman in the store." The pills he prepared were famous, and even the pills taken by the people in the palace were from his hands. The medicine we make in Duobao Zhai is also all prescribed by Mr. Big. In the future, if he tells you to do something, whatever you are doing, let go of what you are doing. If you offend him, you lose your job. Don't say I didn't warn you. ”

Everyone said they knew. The register continued.

When Liu Xiaohua's name was recorded, Siniang wrote the flower character Hua. Liu Xiaohua hurriedly said cautiously: "It's the flower of the flower." ”

Siniang glanced at her.

Sanzhi was afraid that she would anger people, so he nervously pulled Liu Xiaohua's sleeve, "It's okay, Hua is Hua." The same, the same. ”

Liu Xiaohua said cautiously, "The names are different, I'm afraid it will cause trouble." If one word is different, it may be someone else" She only knows that in modern times, the words on her ID card are different from the words on the form she fills in, which brings her unexpected trouble. What if the name is related to receiving wages?

Some things can be ignored, but some things must not be compromised.

Fortunately, Siniang didn't bother her because of this, crossed out her name and rewrote it. As he wrote, he asked, "Is there anyone whose name is wrong?" Then the list will be taken by the front yard, and you will be checked by name by tribe by tribe. If something happens, you can't blame me. ”

One person whispered, "How do you verify this?" Do you want to ask? ”

Siniang frowned, "Take the village as an example, how many people are in a village, how many people were born this year, and what are they called." It is a nickname, and it is also reported to the clan for naturalization. What's so hard to verify? Where are you from? Can you find it? If you can't, leave early! ”

The man whispered, "Of course." I'm just curious, just ask in vain. ”

Siniang didn't pay attention to her anymore.

Those who had written their names, when they heard Siniang say it so strictly, they hurriedly ran over. Match every word you are.

Sanzhi also suddenly realized, and said to Liu Xiaohua, "It's okay, you think more." Otherwise, the name is wrong, and who knows if it will deliberately embarrass us? ”

After a while, everyone received their clothes, and although the material was not good, the clothes were thick and warm. There are big letters written on the chest and back.

Siniang drove them all into a room and asked them to strip naked and change their clothes.

But there is nothing in this room, and anyone can see it. And Siniang stood on the table in the middle of the room, staring at everyone who undressed.

Sanzhi was so angry that he whispered, "How can she do this? The body is skinny, how can it be seen by others in the hall like this! ”

A woman next to her, while changing clothes, said coldly: "The rules are like this, we have to follow the rules when we do things here." If you don't want to, you can do it. ”

Sanzhi said angrily, "If I can not do it, I will not suffer such humiliation here!" ”

The woman snorted coldly, "Then what else do you say?" ”

Liu Xiaohua comforted Sanzhi: "Be patient." Move a little faster and you'll be fine. ”

In fact, at this time, Liu Xiaohua's own face was so red that it could drip blood. She looked at the people around her, all of whom were stripped naked under Siniang's scrutiny. The strong sense of shame made her want to leave her clothes and walk out. But in the end, I still had to take off my clothes under Siniang's scrutiny.

At this time, she deeply understood the meaning of the merchant when she was in the hotel. Poor people are really sometimes, and even people can't do it.

Without the dignity of being a human being, how can one be called a human being?

She desperately wants to make a little more money and leave this life as soon as possible
