Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched at the thought of this person.
However, after thinking about it, she still felt that he was the most suitable.
Therefore, after returning to the village at night, she went straight to the Shi family.
When the parents of the Shi family saw her coming, they were stunned for a moment, thinking that she was looking for them for the matter in the field.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yundong was looking for Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi had never been at home, especially recently. He often left after eating in the morning with a few steamed buns and only returned when it was dark.
Shi Dashan asked a few times, but he couldn’t get anything out of him, so he let him be.
In any case, ever since he stopped hanging out with Hu Liang, there had been no rumors of him sneaking around.
The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. She could roughly guess where Zhuangzi had gone.
However, before she could look for him, Lan Hua’er said, “I know where my brother is. I’ll go look for him.”
With that, Lan Hua’er ran off. Gu Yundong could only continue to wait at the Shi residence.
Sure enough, not long after, Zhuangzi ran back while panting.
“Miss Gu, why are you looking for me?” He had been working hard recently. Although Gu Yundong had not told him to keep an eye on Zhao Dafa, he felt that Madam Fang and Zhao Dafa must have something going on. He wanted to find out about their affair no matter what.
Therefore, other than spying on Madam Fang and her daughter, he also had to visit Zhao Dafa from time to time. He was so busy that he didn’t even have time to eat.
But damn it, the two of them had only met once. He didn’t know if it was because they had fallen out last time, but there had been no movement since then.
Zhuangzi was very worried. If he had known, he would have called the entire village over the last time he saw them alone. He had missed an opportunity.
Recently, he had been wondering if he should matchmake them and make them reconcile. Only then could he catch them in the act.
Gu Yundong had no idea what he was thinking. She only felt that Zhuangzi seemed to have lost some weight and looked more haggard.
It seemed that he was indeed very professional and did his best to do what she instructed him to do. She was relieved.
Gu Yundong coughed lightly. “It’s like this, Zhuangzi. I opened a shop in the county city and I want to find a smart shop assistant. Are you willing to go?” “What?!” Not only Zhuangzi, but the other three members of the Shi family widened their eyes.
Especially Shi Dashan and his wife, their faces were filled with disbelief. They had never thought that their son, who was always away from home and hated by the entire village, would one day be personally invited to be a shop assistant.
Zhuangzi was also stunned. He blinked and wondered if he had heard wrongly.
‘I’ve been invited to work as a shop assistant?1
How could a rotten person like him, who couldn’t even be a short-term worker when he went to town, become a shop assistant?
For some reason, he felt like crying.
Zhuangzi turned around abruptly and wiped his face forcefully with his sleeve.
Gu Yundong laughed. “What’s wrong? Are you unwilling?”
“Yes, of course.” Zhuangzi immediately turned around. His eyes were still a little red, but he hurriedly nodded.
The Shi couple and Lan Hua’er nodded vigorously. “He’s willing.”
“Well, the salary is one tael a month for the time being. If you do well, we will increase it. If you agree, you can follow me to the county tomorrow. There’s a courtyard there that you can stay in. You can come back if you want. If it’s too late and you’re too tired, you can stay in the shop.”
Zhuangzi nodded vigorously. One tael of silver. He had heard that the shop assistants in the workshop only earned five hundred copper coins.
Actually, he also wanted to go to the workshop, but Gu Yundong wanted honest and reliable people. He admitted that he was not. Besides, he still had to keep an eye on Madam Fang and Zhao Dafa.
At the thought of this, Zhuangzi suddenly reacted.. “Then, then Madam Fang…”
