Grandpa Zhang was so excited that he couldnât speak, and the Zhang family looked at him in confusion.
Uncle Yu knew what he meant and nodded. âWe went to see that shop today. Itâs indeed not bad. Itâs a little far from here, butâ¦â
âItâs fine, itâs fine. Distance is not a problem. Itâs still in the city.â
Uncle Yu said, âI havenât finished speaking.â
âAlright, alright, alright. Tell me, I wonât interrupt you.â
The Zhang family looked at Grandpa Zhang with a strange expression. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Uncle Yu also felt that he might have come to the wrong place. He had never known that Grandpa Zhangâs personality could be like this.
Letting out a breath, he thought about leaving as soon as possible. âWhat I mean is that the shop has a backyard. If itâs too late and you canât come back in time, you can stay there for the night.â
âThatâs good. Iâm fine with it.â Grandpa Zhang was even happier. Aiyo, he wanted to say that commute would truly be a problem for his old arms and legs. He didnât expect there to be a place to stay. That would be easy.
Uncle Yu looked at him and found it hard to explain. âBut Grandpa Zhang, we want to hire another person. We plan to hire Brother Zhang.â
âWhat??â Grandpa Zhangâs expression changed in a second. He suddenly stood up and raised his voice. âWhat did you say?â
The Zhang family finally understood. The person called Brother Zhang widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, âYanghong, do you mean that your family is going to open a shop now? Do you even plan to hire me as a shop assistant?â
âI do have such plans. That shop belongs to the Gu family. They want to take care of our family. However, the shop is indeed big. I know that Brother Zhang is diligent, honest, and tolerant. I thought that if youâre willing, you can go to the shop to help.â
Brother Zhangâs eyes lit up and he instantly straightened his back. âIâm willing, of course Iâm willing.â
The Zhang family completely understood and were immediately overjoyed, especially Brother Zhangâs wife. When she heard that her man had found a stable job, her eyes turned red.
The others were very envious, but they were also happy for him. If Brother Zhang worked in the shop, the entire family would benefit.
Grandpa Zhang was the only one left. He snorted coldly and turned his back to everyone. He squatted on the ground and sulked.
Uncle Yu didnât know whether to laugh or cry. âGrandpa Zhang, we didnât mean to make things difficult for you. Itâs just that this job requires strength. I hired Brother Zhang to go elsewhere to collect the goods. There are many places to go every day. I know Grandpa Zhang is young and strong, but Iâm afraid of exhausting you, right?â
Grandpa Zhangâs wife couldnât help but kick his foot. âAlright, donât you know how old you are? Youâre panting after taking a few steps. You still want to follow them everywhere? Arenât you afraid of falling sick from exhaustion? When the time comes, even if you earn money, you wonât be able to live to enjoy it. Wake up, didnât the Yu family hire our first son? If you continue to have such a bad expression, what will happen to you if he loses the job?â
Grandpa Zhang immediately stood up from the ground. âThat wonât do. Yanghong, you promised me that you would hire my first son.â
âOf course.â
Only then did Grandpa Zhang become happy. Forget it. If his son went to do it, so be it. He could also show off to others.
However, there was no time for him to show off. When Uncle Yu went to Carpenter Tan to talk about this, someone happened to come to look for Carpenter Tan to order something and heard Uncle Yuâs words from beginning to end.
The neighbors in this area instantly knew that Gu Dajiangâs family had opened a shop and handed it to the Yu family to manage.
