As the saying goes, "hemp rope picks the finest parts, and bad luck picks the hard-working people", for the twenty-three-year-old He Xiaowu after the year, he may have deeply understood what this sentence meant, but he still can't change the status quo.

Originally, he was already out of the stall and began to make a little more money, but because of the ban of the pigeon market, he finally had no choice but to find other work to do. Compared with Liu Daneng's other apprentices, who had already gone to the regular market to work as butchers, he still chose to refuse.

The reason is very simple, the other apprentices went to the vegetable market where the stalls were set up, and the dealers who offered meat to them did not deal with Liu Daneng before. To put it simply, in He Xiaowu's view, accepting the other party's solicitation is actually a betrayal of the master.

In his own words, even if he is a little poor and tired, he doesn't want to be a treacherous villain. If he loses his backbone, he is also worried that he may go down the wrong path in the future. This can be regarded as his principle and bottom line!

Seeing He Xiaowu's family of eight, crowded in a large compound with an area of less than 40 square meters, except for the messy furniture that may not be picked up by anyone, among the eight people, two of them are lying on the hospital bed all year round.

These two patients, one is He Xiaowu's grandfather, and the other is his own mother. As for He Xiaowu's father, he died when he was sixteen years old. Although his grandmother is in good health, she can only help him with some housework.

The remaining four are not very old, and they are He Xiaowu's younger siblings. What made Xu Zhengdao a little curious was that the age gap between him and his younger siblings was a bit big. Faced with the inquiry, He Xiaowu smiled bitterly, "I was adopted!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhengdao was stunned and didn't say anything more, just patted him on the shoulder and said, "No wonder your master often says that among so many apprentices you have accepted, you kid is his favorite. It's a pity that he can't come back now."

Hearing this, He Xiaowu blushed and said, "But I still lived up to his expectations and smashed his business!"

"! As far as his butcher business is concerned, if I don't have my help, I'm afraid it will be early. Okay, let your younger siblings clean up the house briefly. Tonight, I will make everything I can eat and cook at home, and have a good meal.

Tomorrow after breakfast, you go to the courtyard in Shichahai to look for me, and then I will tell you what you need to do. Don't worry, I'll send someone over in a few years and give you a legal identity that no one dares to bully.

From now on, with the support of me, the big boss of Xiangjiang, you can also hold your head high and be a man. If you continue to live in this miscellaneous hospital, I am afraid that the condition of your mother and grandfather will only get worse and worse.

When you move to the courtyard I have prepared for you, I will see them and prescribe medicine. Your grandfather's condition is more serious, and I am afraid that it will take a month or two of medicine before it is possible to get up from the kang. Your mom, it's a little better."

As soon as the words fell, He Xiaowu said excitedly, "Mr. Xu, can you really cure my mother and grandfather?"

"You just need to know! But I hope you don't tell anyone, because I'm afraid of trouble. That's why I made it so that you moved. If I don't move out, how can I treat them?

In the future, your salary will be tentatively set at three hundred and one month. Don't think it's too much, the next time you see your master, you will know that this salary is already very low. But if the salary is higher for you, it won't do you much good. Three hundred dollars should be the most suitable."

"This, this!"

"Don't do this or that, if you want to recognize me as a cheap uncle, then listen to me. While your grandparents are still in good health, solve the lifelong major events as soon as possible. As for your master, he will be back in the second half of next year at the latest."

"Really? Then the master will be fine when he comes back, right? Someone investigated him about the pigeon market earlier!"

"When he comes back, he is no longer a pork energy from Pigeon City, but Boss Liu of Xiangjiang. Who do you think would dare to arrest him for this?"

took out a thousand yuan from his body, and Xu Zhengdao also said directly: "Don't feel embarrassed about the salary paid in advance. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it's freezing on this day, don't you feel sorry for yourself, and you don't feel sorry for your younger brothers and sisters?

Go to the street and buy some padded jackets and bedding. If you move to my house, you dare to bring all this over and throw it all at you on the street, believe it or not? If I'm not mistaken, there is a famine at home, is this money enough?"

"Enough, thank you, uncle! Your kindness

I will never forget it in my life."

"You're only a little old, and you're still alive. Okay, I'm not going to stay any longer, I still have something to do. Remember, come early tomorrow."

"Cheng, I'll definitely go over early tomorrow."

Sending away Xu Zhengdao, who was standing at the door and didn't go in, the younger brothers and sisters who had been hiding under the bed in the house were naturally full of curiosity. Not because of disgust, but because Xu Zhengdao walked in, for fear of embarrassing the He family.

In the winter, except for Grandma He Xiaowu, there is a torn cotton jacket that I don't know how long I have been wearing. A family of eight, I am afraid that there are not enough sets of clothes that can be used to keep out the cold. Then there are three people left, how can they go out in winter?

There is no way, but the cat is in the house, relying on the kang that does not dare to break the fire to keep warm. Whoever wants to go out wears that padded jacket in rotation. The He family is so poor that it is indeed beyond Xu Zhengdao's imagination.

But after thinking about it, he felt normal again. The reason is that most of the money He Xiaowu earned was used to buy medicine for two patients. And the rest of the money, I have to support my younger brothers and sisters to study, isn't it normal to have no money to buy new clothes?

The older sister He Xiaoli, looking at the eldest brother with tears in her eyes, also said with concern, "Brother, what's wrong? Is something wrong? Is that man here to ask you for a debt?"

"No! That's our family's great benefactor, tomorrow my brother will lead you to see him, and then you will remember to give him a snort. You put on the padded jacket, wait for the next brother to take you out to buy a new padded jacket, tomorrow, let's move!"

"Ah! Do you have to move when you buy a padded jacket? Brother, what's going on?"

"My brother has found a job, and the man who was my master's sworn brother came back from Xiangjiang and saw that I was waiting to pull the cart, so he called me to stop, invited me to a meal, and asked me to do things for him later.

Give me a salary of three hundred yuan a month, and this thousand yuan is his salary in advance. With this money, we can pay off the famine we owe. And money to buy you new clothes. After the New Year, you can also give me an honest school."

"Brother, three hundred yuan a month? What does he do? I'm not going to let you do anything illegal to him, are you?"

"What nonsense? In addition to being a big boss, he is also a miracle doctor. When he moved to a new home, he would treat his grandfather and mother. When they are cured, will our family's life be better?"

"How can I listen to what you say, it's like a dream!"

"Then this shouldn't be fake, right?"

Holding the coin in his hand, He Xiaowu did have the urge to cry. But he knows that it is a good thing not to cry. Finally saw that there was a chance to turn over, and he really didn't want to miss it. Because, he has been suffering for too long.

In fact, he felt that it didn't matter if he was bitter. Seeing that he couldn't support this family and let the family suffer with him, that was the situation he couldn't face. But before, he wanted to change but he didn't have enough power.

Now that we finally see hope, how can we not be happy? How can you not weep with joy!
