Chapter 1602: Hired

~4 min read 712 words

Regardless, this has happened.

Whether it was premeditated or someone was used, it was wrong anyway.

Xu Weilai, who distinguishes clearly between gratitude and resentment, apologized to Liu Chuxue and did not let go of those who used her; after all, this matter not only shamed herself but also dragged her friend into it.

Someone was bullying his wife; Fu Yan Cheng would not speak of gentlemanly conduct. Naturally, he sent word to the Art Troupe again, demanding that the troublemaker come forward to bear the consequences.

With the Xu and Guan families both calling to inquire about the matter, Mao Weifang, who had stood up for others, directly ended her career. The partner she had been dating broke up with her immediately, and she could only return to her hometown in disgrace.

A few days later, Xiao's eldest uncle's wife called, saying her nephew Zhang Ziyang had been hired by the military district's furniture workshop, skipping the probation period entirely and receiving the wage of a master carpenter. After expressing thanks, she asked the couple to visit when they had time, then hung up.

When Liu Chuxue notified them, she had said simply to go register directly; as long as they possessed solid craftsmanship, they would certainly be hired.

Having just finished the call with Xiao's eldest uncle's wife and preparing to head back, she heard someone shout: "Sister-in-law, someone is looking for you."

Liu Chuxue turned and saw Uncle Lao Wu and Uncle Wen standing not far from the gate.

She immediately ran over: "Uncle Lao Wu, Uncle Uncle Uncle Wenyang."

Seeing the smiles on their faces, she knew without asking that they had been retained.

Uncle Lao Wu said excitedly, "Liu Chuxue, your Uncle Uncle Uncle Wenyang is now someone with an official job. It is truly thanks to you for remembering him."

Seeing him about to bow, she hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle Lao Wu, I merely delivered a message. It is Uncle Uncle Uncle Wenyang's ambition and his unyielding spirit despite his disability that allowed him to seize this opportunity. When we were young, we ate no small amount of the sour plums you picked from the mountain; I have always kept that in my heart."

"You girl are simply kind-hearted. That was such a small thing, yet you still remember it."

"Uncle Lao Wu, Uncle Uncle Uncle Wenyang, we are already at our doorstep. Come in and sit, get to know the place."

Uncle Lao Wu waved his hand: "With us looking like this, we should not go in."

Seeing it was nearly noon, she said, "I am someone you watched grow up since childhood. We are already at our doorstep. If you leave now, how will I ever have the face to return to the village? Besides, Uncle Uncle Uncle Wenyang will be working here in the future, and matters will inevitably arise; he must get to know the place. Don't you agree?"

In fact, the two of them had worn their best clothes when they went out today, yet even so, there were patches on their clothes. They feared bringing shame to Liu Chuxue.

Liu Chuxue naturally understood their concerns, but she did not care about such things. Precisely because their lives were modest, she had thought of helping them at the first opportunity.

Uncle Uncle Wenyang, usually quiet due to his physical defect, spoke up now: "Grandpa, since niece Liu Chuxue does not disdain us, let us not be awkward. In the future, as I work here, I will likely trouble her."

Uncle Lao Wu tugged at his clothes, then looked at the urea bag at his feet: "Very well, then let us go in and get to know the place."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "That is right."

As they walked in, many people greeted Liu Chuxue, and some were curious about the two men behind her.

She introduced them simply and openly, sometimes introducing Uncle Uncle Wenyang specifically. After learning his carpentry skills were excellent, everyone understood at once.

When the villagers saw Liu Chuxue had the opportunity to help people from the village, and even those with disabilities from the same village, they not only said nothing cold or sarcastic but instead felt her character was even more precious, earning her greater respect.
