Let's say that when Mr. Jiang arrived at the Yuan family, he realized that their family was not ordinary poor, and they really couldn't live.

Old Aunt Yuan, the eldest aunt of Old Man Jiang, was widowed early, and her children went first, but only the second son left her two grandchildren. She was a widow who finally raised her grandson, and tried her best to marry them and have children, so she was idle for a few days to enjoy the blessings of her children and grandchildren. But who knew that one day the imperial court would not allow fishing, which made them live after generations of fishing?

Although the government promised to compensate them accordingly, the few acres of land that the family deserved could not get their hands on. Can't fish, can't farm, the two grandsons can only lead their great-grandsons to the dock to carry goods. But the work was too heavy, the food was poor, and after less than two years, the eldest grandson was so sick that he couldn't get up. In order to give his brother Zhang Luo medicine money, the second grandson heard that someone asked him to go into the mountains to hunt, and then never came back. Although Old Lady Yuan has suffered several times from white-haired people to black-haired people, this time she really can't hold on, and she can't get up after she falls. The family suddenly had two fewer strong laborers, but two more sick numbers, and it was impossible to make a living by moving goods at the wharf only by his great-grandson Yuan Chunpu, so he had to start selling his sons and daughters.

The first to sell was Yuan Chuncao, the daughter of the Yuan family's big house, and after nearly a year, life was only worse, so she planned to sell the eldest daughter of the second room, Yuan Chunfang. How could Yuan Chunfang and her mother Huang give up, so she volunteered to sell herself. It's just that she was already thirty years old at the time, and even if the color was good, she couldn't sell it for a high price, and selling her alone couldn't solve the family's urgent needs. So the Huang family was ruthless and took the little girl Yuan Chunhua to sell herself into slavery together, hoping to keep the eldest daughter, so that the sensible eldest daughter could rely on the money from selling her body to pull her only son up.

But who knows, not long after the turn of the year, the family is about to run out of cooking again, so they can only sell it again. However, there is only one male left in the big house, Yuan Chunpu, he is both the eldest grandson and the strong man, he must not sell him, this time he has to come out of the second room. But who knew that Yuan Chunfang, who was still scrambling to replace her sister last time, refused to agree this time. I don't want to go with Ya Po.

Won't go? That can't be blamed by Yuan Chunfang. Today's Yuan Chunfang has no father or mother, her uncle and aunt can sell as much as they want, and even push her into the fire pit in order to sell a few more money.

But fortunately, although the tooth woman did this business that hurt the yin, in the end, her conscience was not clear. And because she was born in the same village, she knew the origin of Yuan's mother-in-law's mother's family, so she clicked a sentence, and then there was a door-to-door search for relatives.

After Old Man Jiang knew that the Yuan family was in such a difficult situation, he immediately helped their family. And that's not all. He also found Ya Po, planning to pay for the redemption of the cousin's daughter-in-law and cousin's granddaughter who were sold.

It's a pity that Yuan Chunhua, who only has the second room, was redeemed at a high price after a lot of twists and turns, and although her mother Huang is holding a motherly heart and thinking that she can take care of her daughter by being a slave together, but the reality is so cruel, the people who bought Yuan Chunhua did not buy the Huang family together, and the mother and daughter were separated, and now I don't know where Huang is. As for Yuan Chuncao, the daughter of the big house, it is said that the person who bought her spoke with a strong foreign accent, and the time interval was too long, and the hope of getting it back was even more slim.

Let's say that Zhao Sanlang and the Yuan family chatted for a long time. Only then did I learn what they were coming for. It's just that he was a little surprised and asked, "Miss Yuan wants to come to our Zhao family shop to help?" Is it possible to smoke away at home? ”

The folk customs of Youzhou are open, and it is not uncommon for women to go out to work. But as far as Zhao Sanlang knows, Yuan Chunfang's parents are gone, his younger brother Yuan Chunying is only eleven years old this year, and his younger sister Yuan Chunhua is slightly older, she is thirteen years old this year, but she is ......

It turned out that the little girl who was embarrassed to see people behind Yuan Chunfang's sister and brother today was Yuan Chunhua. It's just that I heard that the family who bought her beat and scolded her, and they have been back for a few days, and they have been hiding in the house and not daring to come out to meet people. Now I'm finally willing to go out. Still looking trembling, still looking a little stupid.

In addition, the village where Yuan's family is located is extremely far away from Jiangjiatan, so it is impossible for Yuan Chunfang to go home every day. In this case, she went out to help. Who will take care of the younger siblings in the family?

Yuan Chunfang's face was shy, and she said in a low voice: "The housework has its own aunt's cooking." It's just that I don't feel at ease when Chunhua and Chunying stay at home, so I want to take them with me to ......"

"My second sister and I can help with the work, carry water and chop firewood, and we can do it!" Yuan Chunying was afraid that Zhao Sanlang would refuse, so she hurriedly added: "The three of us only need one person's salary!" ”

"I, I'm ......" Yuan Chunhua, who had been holding her head down, also opened her mouth timidly, but she couldn't say a whole sentence for a long time.

"Little sister, don't worry. We all know what you mean. Zhao Shilang, who had been standing stupidly, saw Yuan Chunhua's eyes reddened, and he couldn't bear it, so he couldn't help but interject to comfort him.

"But my aunt can't tolerate you?" Zhao Sanlang asked like a ghost.

How does this answer? Whether you admit it or deny it, asking your sisters and brothers to mention these disgraceful family affairs in front of outsiders is in itself a shameless family. What's more, even if he confides in Zhao Sanlang, he can't solve it, and it will only make the family sad in vain.

In normal times, it is impossible for Zhao Sanlang, who is quite calm, to ask such a brainless word. Zhao Sanlang, who came to his senses, felt that he must have been tired by his stupid brother.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhao Sanlang's question, the sister and brother were so embarrassed.

"Not really. It's just that the burden of the big house is also heavy, so it's not good for them to support a few of us in vain. Yuan Chunfangqiang explained with a smile.

I don't know which sensitive and delicate nerve was touched, and after listening to her eldest sister's reply, Yuan Chunhua, who looked like she was going to cry or not, began to sobble in a low voice.

Zhao Shilang couldn't see this young lady crying, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "Big brother, you just accept them!" Also, give them three wages! Our Zhao family shop can't deduct wages. ”

Zhao Sanlang looked embarrassed, and regretted that he didn't drive his stupid brother out, but now it's good, he was stunned that he couldn't get off the stage.

To be honest, he is very sympathetic to the plight of Yuan Chunfang's sisters and brothers, thinking that they are in a hurry to come out to work because they are in trouble, and he wants to help him if he can help him.

But the problem is, he can't help! He is the eldest son of the Zhao family, and he is indeed the rightful heir of the Zhao family's industry, but whether it is the Zhao family shop in the village or the tofu workshop in the town, no one has taken him as a young owner! Don't say it's him, even what his father said can't be accurate, in their family, everything is what Siniang said. Especially things like recruitment. It's all controlled by Siniang, and he has no right to decide at all.

Maybe for the sake of Old Man Jiang's face, Siniang will accept Yuan Chunfang and Yuan Chunying, but this Yuan Chunhua. Siniang has always been snobbish...... Ahem, I have always had an accurate vision, and I won't want it out of ten. It's not that Siniang is not pure enough, it's just that ...... Well, in her exact words: "Ding is Ding." Mao is Mao! It's okay to help, but don't want to stuff people into the shop! ”

Yuan Chunfang is a girl with a lot of eyes, she can see that Zhao Sanlang's request from her own child is really embarrassing, even if Zhao Sanlang agrees, it is a last resort. Despite her difficulties, she said, "If it's inconvenient......"

Although Zhao Sanlang is stronger than his younger brother, he is not very clever, this time he is clever, and he can see at a glance that this girl is not willing to be strong. He has always been gentle, and he suddenly rose with a sense of pride, even though he knew in his heart that he couldn't be the master alone. But they didn't want the Yuan family sisters and brothers to know the truth.

So, Zhao Sanlang interrupted Yuan Chunfang and agreed with his mouth.

The old man Jiang and the others who came later were extremely surprised to see that Zhao Sanlang dared to take care of everything without Zhao Siniang's consent. It's just that everyone is soft and kind, and they are sympathetic to the plight of their sisters and brothers, so no one raised any objections, and the employment seems to have been settled.

Zhao Sanlang was very glad that he finally didn't drop the chain in front of the Yuan sisters and brothers. However, he accepted the thanks of his siblings. On the other hand, I was thinking that I was taken into the ditch by my stupid brother today.

Fortunately, in addition to having a silly younger brother, Zhao Sanlang also has a good sister.

In the afternoon of the same day. Zhao Siniang, who had been busy for several days, finally came back from the county seat.

When Zhao Siniang learned that Zhao Sanlang was in charge of accepting three guys behind her back, she neither lost her temper nor shook her face. Not only that, after Zhao Siniang unconditionally agreed to Zhao Sanlang's request, she also handed over most of the matters in the duck farm and workshop to him, and said that he would be responsible for the three sisters and brothers and all the employees in the duck farm and workshop in the future.

Zhao Saburo initially suspected that his sister was angry. I'm afraid that my sister will be annoyed by his self-assertion before he says that. But after a long time of testing, I realized that my sister really wanted him to start taking care of the family's business, and I suddenly felt a lot of pressure. But he is strong in his bones, and he vows to work hard and live up to his sister's good intentions.

Zhao Sanlang, who took office as a "new official", believes that the first important thing is to arrange the jobs of the Yuan sisters and brothers. It stands to reason that the siblings were recruited by him, so they should be placed in the duck farm or workshop under his direct management. But after thinking about it for a while, he ran to discuss with Zhao Siniang, asking the three of them to enter Zhao's shop.

In fact, from tomorrow onwards, there will be no need for Zhao Sanlang to run in Zhao's shop, because Jiang Hua's injured leg has completely healed, and he will replace Zhao Sanlang's current work. In the future, Zhao Sanlang will follow Zhao Siniang's arrangement, take turns to study in the duck farm and workshop in the morning, and follow Zhao Siniang to read and read and learn to settle accounts in the afternoon. In other words, he will spend very little time in Zhao's shop.

You took advantage of my absence to recruit three people in one go, and I didn't say anything. You said that you would pay these three people who could not pick their shoulders and could not lift their hands, and I agreed. You also said that you would arrange accommodation and provide food for others, and I did so. It was said that the Yuan brothers and sisters are fully responsible for you, but you don't look at people under your nose, what do you want to make trouble?

Hmph, I don't know? Let's not mention the other two, the one named Chunhua is not only bluffing, but also always clumsy, and what is the whole thing to do.

As soon as she thought of this, Zhao Siniang wanted to go crazy. However, with other considerations in her heart, she finally restrained her anger and nodded in agreement.

So the three sisters and brothers of the Yuan family, who received the quasi-letter, moved into the backyard of the workshop with their luggage the next day and began to officially go to work.

According to Zhao Sanlang's arrangement, Yuan Chunfang was responsible for helping the cook, Yuan Chunying was responsible for running the hall, and Yuan Chunhua originally arranged for her to help collect the table, but after she broke five bowls and three plates in the morning, Zhao Sanlang could no longer stand the condemning gaze of his little sister, and instead asked her to take care of the tea stall not far from the shop.
