It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 292

On the last day of November in the fifteenth year of Jianguang, Jiang Fu and Yu Qian rushed back to Dongshan Village in the cold wind while it was still dawn.

Jiang Yan, who was sleeping soundly on the kang, was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. Then, she hurried to Jiang Wang's house with sleepy eyes.

Several young people also went there, including Jiang Ying, Jiang Yun, and Jiang Hu.

After the greetings, Jiang Fu quickly got down to business.

"The bosses are in urgent need of staff right now. If you're interested, come with me today for a trial. If you stay until the end, your food and lodging will be fully covered, along with a monthly salary and clothes for all four seasons."

Working for the Fu family again...

Although the treatment was not fully clear, Jiang Yan admitted that she was shamelessly tempted. She was free anyway and wanted to earn some seed money if she had the chance.

but……

"Uncle, if I stay until the end, do I need to change my citizenship? If not, how many years will I have to work as a bookkeeper?"

Jiang Fu actually didn't know the answer to these two questions, but since he had been doing this job for so long without changing his nationality, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Thinking about the villagers' concern about this matter, after all, they had just paid a large sum of redemption money, and he couldn't let them go back in a confused manner.

Jiang Fu didn't dare to guarantee anything. He hesitated and said, "How about we ask in detail after we get to the county? But this job is a bit difficult. I may not be hired once I go there, so I should be mentally prepared."

"Is it difficult?" Jiang Ai took a small step back.

Yu Qian asked a little more about this job, but not much more.

"The most basic requirement for this job is to be able to read and write. I heard that there were at least 20 to 30 people who came to me in the past seven or eight days, but in the end, only this number stayed."

Yu Qian made a gesture.

"Only three?"

Jiang Hu cried out in surprise, then quickly took a big step back. The difficulty was so high, and with only the few dozen characters he and Jiang Yuan had learned, he decided not to join in the fun.

Jiang Ai's expression was conflicted, and after a few breaths, she quietly moved back to her original position. She had learned nearly a hundred characters, and hadn't forgotten many of them. Jiang Nian had even praised her handwriting, so it shouldn't be too embarrassing.

The expressions of the rest of the people were also different. Some wanted to go, and some didn't want to go. Soon, they automatically divided into two groups.

Jiang Wang felt helpless. At that time, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Nian, brother and sister, taught all of them to read, but the result... Although he knew that everyone was different, it was inevitable to feel regretful about this matter.

He said to Jiang Fu and Yu Qian, "Let's take them. I'll take you two over to try it out."

Jiang Fu nodded readily, but Yu Qian was a little hesitant.

She looked at the boys and girls who were huddled in the group that wasn't going, and said to Jiang Wang, "Why don't you let them go too? Whether it works out is another matter, but it would be good to let them see the ropes."

For several of them, apart from Dongshan Village and Houshan, the place they went to most frequently was the county government, but not many times. The farthest place they had been to was Furong Mountain.

No matter where I go, I am always under the sight and protection of my elders.

Jiang Wang hesitated a little: "It's cold outside. Wouldn't it be too costly to go there?" There was no need to waste the already tight food and even money on something that would never succeed.

Yu Qian was silent for a long time before he searched for a useful clue from the corners of his memories.

"I heard that the mansion is hiring this time. Except for those who are not suitable at first glance, they will be let go immediately. The rest of the people will have food and accommodation provided during the trial period. They will also be paid three copper coins for working for two days."

Three coins every two days, that’s forty-five coins a month, the treatment of a first-class maid!

Jiang Yan raised her arm and said, "Aunt, how many days of trial work can I do here? Even if the recruitment conditions are not suitable, I have to find a way to get the salary for a few more days!"
