Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 90 Lu Ertie

Jiang Jinyu nodded and lowered his voice: "I have worked with them for many years."

"I probably know which people work hard, which ones are careless, and which ones have poor family conditions."

"This way, it's much cheaper than looking for someone outside."

Jiang Jinyu felt relieved. After thinking about it, she continued to warn: "Don't look for idle men in the city."

"It's best to be from a village far away from our home."

“The poorer and more remote the place, the better.”

Just think of it as her being petty. She must be careful when preparing something that can ensure her family's food and clothing for decades.

Jiang Mingshun nodded, indicating that she knew what was going on.

It's not uncommon to see strangers in this place, but this is the first time I've seen one with a little girl.

Jiang Jinyu was pulled in by Jiang Mingshun, and the eyes of everyone squatting or standing around her fell on her.

Jiang Jinyu had goosebumps all over his body.

Fortunately, the combination of the two was really eye-catching, and someone quickly recognized Jiang Mingshun.

"Mingshun!" A man suddenly stood up under the wall, waved his hand and shouted in this direction: "Mingshun, why are you here!"

Jiang Ming followed the message, and after seeing the man's appearance clearly, he grinned at him, picked up Jiang Jinyu, and walked quickly over there.

Jiang Jinyu squinted her eyes and looked at the man walking this way. The man was wearing short clothes made of brown coarse cloth.

The clothes were washed and turned white. There were many patches on the right shoulder, and other areas with few patches were also washed and turned white.

Looking further down, there are fewer patches on the pants, but they are obviously old pants that have been worn for many years.

The shoes are very new, but unfortunately they are home-made straw sandals. As long as you are handy, you can change them every day.

Obviously the financial situation of this person's family is not good.

However, Jiang Jinyu thought, this could not be used to judge that his family was poor. Could it be that he cherished his clothes and deliberately wore these shabby clothes to work?

The man was obviously very happy to see Jiang Mingshun. He hugged Jiang Mingshun vigorously and grinned, "I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you lately?"

Jiang Mingshun also hugged back and said loudly: "What's wrong with me? Everything is fine!"

He lifted the daughter in his arms and said, "This is my daughter, Fish Lady."

Then he turned to Jiang Jinyu and introduced him: "This is someone who worked with my father. Please call him Uncle Ertie."

"Uncle Ertie." Jiang Jinyu greeted the man opposite him obediently.

"Okay, you are such a good boy." Lu Ertie nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand in the air and then retracted it, worried that his hand would be too strong and hurt the delicate little girl.

Jiang Mingshun looked around and saw no other people he knew. On the contrary, more and more people were looking here, and some people were moving quietly to come over.

"Let's go," Jiang Mingshun winked decisively at Lu Ertie and motioned for him to follow him: "Let's go out and find a place to talk."

He deliberately amplified his voice, and sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the crowd gathering in this direction stopped.

Seeing that the two people really left, everyone returned to the place disappointed. Some people rolled their eyes and muttered: "I thought they were here to work, but they are poor people like us."

Lu Ertie followed Jiang Mingshun and happened to pass by the person who spoke. He had a good ear and glanced at Jiang Mingshun subconsciously when he heard the words.

Indigo clothes are also a common style of short clothes, but they are different from the coarse cloth with layers of patches on their bodies. They are made with more delicate steps.

Lu Ertie knew it. No wonder these people reacted like this. They probably thought Jiang Mingshun was a businessman or shopkeeper who came to hire people to move goods.This time, Jiang Mingshun didn't go to a crowded place. Instead, he found a relatively deserted tea shop.

The waiter immediately came over and said, "Boy, what do you want to drink?"

"Bring over two bowls of hot tea," Jiang Mingshun waved his hand and directly ordered: "Bring another bowl of sugar water to my daughter."

Seeing the waiter turn around to pour tea, Jiang Mingshun smiled at Lu Ertie: "I often come to this tea shop to drink herbal tea."

"Although there are not many guests in his house, the taste of herbal tea is very good."

Lu Ertie moved his butt uncomfortably, cautiously, for fear of breaking someone else's stool.

He opened his mouth, forced a forced smile, and looked at the waiter without hesitating to speak.

From the reaction of the group of people just now to Jiang Mingshun taking him to the tea shop with ease, Lu Ertie finally realized that something was different.

Jiang Mingshun also noticed Lu Ertie's unnaturalness, but he didn't say anything. He just reached out to take the herbal tea brought by the waiter and put it in front of Lu Ertie.

He picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip, then smashed his lips and said, "Isn't this better than those bitter teas?"

Lu Ertie's increasingly tense nerves were soothed by these down-to-earth words. He imitated Jiang Mingshun's actions and took a big sip. Then his eyes lit up and he praised: "It really quenches your thirst!"

Jiang Jinyu: "..."

Tea farmers and tea merchants will really cry to death when they meet you two!
Jiang Mingshun calmly led Lu Ertie to talk: "How is the business at the dock lately?"

Naturally, he was not talking about whether the business of the merchants coming and going at the dock was good, but he was asking whether Kang Bao had a lot of work.

Lu Ertie, who was still drinking tea, immediately put down his tea bowl when he heard this. He sighed and said worriedly: "After the beginning of spring, there will be less and less work."

The two thick and thick eyebrows were twisted together, showing a very distressed look.

Jiang Mingshun raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this, and said in surprise: "How could that be?"

"I see that the pier has become more and more lively recently, and there are a lot more businessmen from other places."

"Why is there less and less work?"

"Oh," Lu Ertie sighed again: "You saw it when you passed by just now. Didn't you see a lot more new faces?"

Jiang Mingshun was busy looking for people just now, but he didn't pay attention to look carefully. Now after listening to Lu Ertie's words, he really remembered that he didn't see a few familiar people just now.

He became even more confused: "There is no work to do, so why are there so many people?"

Lu Ertie said: "Who knows!"

"I don't know where these people heard the news, saying that there are many new businessmen here at the dock, and they will definitely need help carrying the goods."

"Many people in the city and in the countryside ran away as soon as they got excited. They waited for a few days and then left again when they found that there were very few jobs available."

"Then there is the next wave of people, just like this one after another, there are always a lot of people doing things."

"It's naturally harder for people like us to find work."

Jiang Mingshun was still puzzled: "There are not many new businessmen here, so at least it won't be worse than before, right?"

At this point, Lu Ertie became even more angry. He curled his lips and said, "I don't know what those businessmen are here for."

"Coming with an empty boat and leaving with an empty boat is just a waste of money!"
