That person’s eyes lit up when he saw Gu Yundong. “Miss Gu, you’re back?”
“You are…” Gu Yundong took a closer look but still could not remember who he was.
The man had already walked in front of her. He exhaled slightly and introduced himself. “Sister Gu, I’m Chen Jincai.”
Chen Jincai? She seemed to have heard this name somewhere before. It was somewhat familiar.
However, this guy was indeed a stranger. He should be from this village, right?
Seeing her confused look, Chen Jin knew that she did not remember who he was. He hurriedly added, “My father is Chen Liang. I’m the eldest son of the Chen family.”
Gu Yundong was enlightened by his explanation.
So it was him. Aunt Ke had once told him that Chen Jincai had lost his job in town, so he brought his wife and children back to the Chen family. His life didn’t seem to be very good.
However, Gu Yundong had a good impression of Chen Liang and Chen Jinbao. In addition, Niu Dan and Yunshu were good friends, so she was very friendly to the Chen family.
“So it’s Brother Chen.” Gu Yundong smiled. “Brother Chen, what’s the matter? Come, let’s talk inside. It’s hot here.”
Chen Jincai shook his head and refused to enter. He looked a little troubled and hesitant.
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. After a while, the man said, “Well, Sister Gu, I did come here today for something. It’s just that I don’t have much to do at home. Is Sister Gu’s workshop short of people? Can I go to work?”
Gu Yundong was stunned. She really did not expect him to come over for this.
She lowered her eyes. He came alone in the morning and refused to enter. All kinds of signs indicated that Chen Liang definitely did not know that he wanted to work in the Gu family’s workshop.
Gu Yundong was silent for a while. Her voice became distant. “Brother Chen, the workshop is not short of people now. I heard that Brother Chen went home a few months ago. Why didn’t you come when the workshop was recruiting last time?”
Chen Jin choked and was a little embarrassed.
Of course, he knew that the matter of the Gu family’s workshop recruiting people had caused an uproar. Didn’t his second brother come back in a hurry and say that he had already been picked because he had done short-term work before?
At that time, he had scoffed. Was it worth being so happy to be a long-term worker in a small workshop in the village?
If he did it, he would at least be a manager. What was the point of being a longterm worker?
Chen Jincai was also working in a workshop when he was in town. He was also a small manager. Although there were only three or four people under him, he was still a manager, right?
Besides, that was a workshop in town. He could manage three or four there. Wouldn’t he be able to manage thirty or forty in the village?
He was absolutely unwilling to do long-term work.
At first, he thought that if the workshop wanted to recruit people, it would recruit both long-term workers and managers, right?
He would go when they recruited managers later. With his experience, his father’s status, and the relationship between the Chen family and the Gu family, it would definitely not be a problem.
Unexpectedly, the Gu family directly let a servant be the manager.
Chen Jincai almost spat out a mouthful of blood. His wife also blamed him. She said that he was still putting on airs at this time.
Especially when he saw that his second brother was getting better and better, and he could only follow his father in the field.
However, it had been more than ten years since he had done such work. It was difficult for him to swing a hoe. His wife also complained every day and felt extremely aggrieved.
Chen Jincai thought that he still had to come to the Gu family to see if they could arrange a job for him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yundong left.
