79 Chapter 79 Recruitment
When Gu Chengrui saw the resistance on their faces and the fear in their eyes, he quickly understood. They were afraid of him after he beat them up on the mountain.
It seems that playing with them in the dark was worth it back then.
“Why don’t you even have the heart to correct yourself?” He said with a look of disdain.
“Or do you want to live like this for the rest of your life? Not only would you not be able to experience the warmth of having a wife and child…
“When you are old, you won’t even have anyone to serve you tea. After you die, you will be wrapped in a straw mat and buried in a pit. There wouldn’t even be anyone to burn you money.
“Or maybe even worse, there won’t even be a corpse of you to collect. You will leave yourself to be fed to the crows and dogs, unable to leave behind an intact corpse.”
At that moment, the faint cry of a crow could be heard, causing the two of them to shiver in fear.
They didn’t care if they had a wife or children or not since they couldn’t afford to raise them anyway.
However, they couldn’t stand it when they thought about how their corpses would be exposed in the wilderness and how they would end up being eaten.
Then, the two of them looked at each other again and asked in unison, “Doctor Gu, are you really willing to give us a job?”
“Do you think I’m free to talk so much nonsense with you?”
“Then, I wonder, what do you want us to do?” Qian Zhuang asked.
Gu Erjiang quickly followed and nodded.
“You guys should know that I’m also making tofu and dried yuba in addition to practicing medicine.
“Your work is also simple. When I deliver my goods daily, you will drive the donkey cart to help pick out and collect the soybeans. You should be able to do this, right?”
“Yes, definitely. But the salary…?”
“Ten coppers a day. I’ll increase it when you do a good job. Just tell me if you’re doing it or not.”
“Let’s do it, let’s do it, we brothers will do it.”
“Doctor Gu, aren’t you afraid we’ll drive the donkey cart out and leave?” Gu Erjiang asked at this time.
“Unless you want to wander around for your entire life. Besides, you all have your own homes. Although they’re a little run-down, they’re still worth more than a donkey.”
“Don’t worry, Doctor Gu,” the two men promised immediately. “We’ll do our best.”
“By the way, when do we start?” Qian Zhuang asked again.
“In five days. In the next few days, help me keep an eye on the strangers who come to the village and see who they are.
“Also, find out who’s asking about the recipe for braised pork intestine in town.
“Remember, just find out who it is. You don’t have to take the risk.
“By the way, I’ll pay you your salary for the next five days.”
“There’s such a good thing?” Hearing this, Gu Erjiang was immediately happy. It was their strength to get information through the grapevine.
“Doctor Gu, do you mean that there have been strangers in the village these two days and have been looking for trouble with you?” Qian Zhuang asked.
“I’m not sure, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Do you guys dare to do it?”
“Let’s do it,”
“Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you. Take this money and get a pot of alcohol. Consider it my treat.” Gu Chengrui gave them some money after he finished speaking.
“Doctor Gu, you’re sure generous. Since you think so highly of us, we’ll follow you.” Qian Zhuang said as he took the money.
When they arrived at the village, the three of them parted ways. However, Qian Zhuang met a stranger not far away. He immediately followed him quietly, thinking of the salary he had just received.
After Gu Chengrui returned home and tied up the donkey, Zhou Ying told him that someone had tried to poison their dog.
Gu Chengrui’s expression changed. “Where’s the bun?” He asked, “Let me see.”
“It’s in this corner of the shed,” Zhou Ying pointed out, pointing to the corner closest to the house.
Gu Chengrui immediately walked over.
