Chapter 1247: My Heart Aches For You
The young prison guards heard about Xie Qiuxiang from their seniors, which was when they went to ask about it. When the seniors talked about that woman, every word they said was about a mission for Master Cheng. They said that that prisoner was Master Cheng’s woman and that Master Cheng was protecting her, which was why she could leave the prison so quickly. Master Cheng must have arranged for her to go abroad.
When she was down and out in prison, her family did not care about her. When she met a wealthy man in prison, it was normal for her to want to soar toward the sky and ignore those who did not care about her feelings.
It was nine in the morning in Shu City. After breakfast, Lu Xingzhi stayed in his room for a short while before bringing Jiang Yao out.
He did not care about the two spies behind him. He pretended not to know about them. Along the way, he held Jiang Yao’s hand and went to the place with the most people in the market. He found a kind-looking woman and asked if there was a place nearby where he could work part-time. After getting an answer, he led Jiang Yao to the Shu City factory district.
Jiang Yao understood Lu Xingzhi’s actions. According to the information on Gu Changshu’s character for that mission, although his character was a dull man, he was particularly diligent. Even though the two of them had some money with them, the money was given by Gu Junhui’s mother. He had no choice but to work.
After the two of them had arrived in Shu City, they were unsure if Ah Zhu would help them. Therefore, with Gu Changshu’s personality, it was normal for him to do odd jobs to earn some living expenses.
However, the woman told them that the odd jobs there were all heavy work. He could unload goods in the factory or move bricks on the construction site.
“Are you really going?”
Lu Xingzhi had already brought her to the factory entrance. She tugged at Lu Xingzhi’s sleeve hesitantly and raised her eyes to look into the factory. The first thing she saw was not a person. Instead, it was an item that was almost as tall as a person’s shoulder and was moving along with the person’s footsteps.
Those sacks could almost cover an entire person, crushing the shoulders of the person underneath them.
“My heart aches for you.”
When Jiang Yao saw that scene and thought about how Lu Xingzhi would do the hard work, her heart ached for real.
Lu Xingzhi pinched Jiang Yao’s face. “Don’t think that your man is weak. I can do whatever they are doing. Once I earn some money, I’ll save it for a week. I’ll take you to eat skewers by the roadside.”
When Lu Xingzhi wanted to do some odd jobs, he had not planned to bring Jiang Yao. However, he did not feel at ease when he thought about leaving Jiang Yao alone, so he simply took her with him.
The factory was new, and they needed more employees. When the foreman saw Lu Xingzhi, he told him to carry a sack to evaluate his performance. Then, he told Lu Xingzhi to stay after he was sure that he could do the job.
“You brought her here? Is she here to move the goods too? I don’t think she can move the goods just by looking at her delicate appearance!” The person in charge glanced at Jiang Yao. He was shocked. “Wow, she’s so pretty. One look, and I can tell that she’s not from Shu City. She’s from the south, right?”
“No, I’m from the north.”
Jiang Yao hid behind Lu Xingzhi but still defended herself. “My great-grandmother is from the south, and I look like my grandmother.”
“We can’t find pretty girls like her in Shu City.” The foreman’s eyes were glued to Jiang Yao’s body.
