Grandpa Zhang was so excited that he couldn’t speak, and the Zhang family looked at him in confusion.
Uncle Yu knew what he meant and nodded. “We went to see that shop today. It’s indeed not bad. It’s a little far from here, but…”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Distance is not a problem. It’s still in the city.”
Uncle Yu said, “I haven’t finished speaking.”
“Alright, alright, alright. Tell me, I won’t interrupt you.”
The Zhang family looked at Grandpa Zhang with a strange expression.
Uncle Yu also felt that he might have come to the wrong place. He had never known that Grandpa Zhang’s personality could be like this.
Letting out a breath, he thought about leaving as soon as possible. “What I mean is that the shop has a backyard. If it’s too late and you can’t come back in time, you can stay there for the night.”
“That’s good. I’m fine with it.” Grandpa Zhang was even happier. Aiyo, he wanted to say that commute would truly be a problem for his old arms and legs. He didn’t expect there to be a place to stay. That would be easy.
Uncle Yu looked at him and found it hard to explain. “But Grandpa Zhang, we want to hire another person. We plan to hire Brother Zhang.”
“What??” Grandpa Zhang’s expression changed in a second. He suddenly stood up and raised his voice. “What did you say?”
The Zhang family finally understood. The person called Brother Zhang widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, “Yanghong, do you mean that your family is going to open a shop now? Do you even plan to hire me as a shop assistant?”
“I do have such plans. That shop belongs to the Gu family. They want to take care of our family. However, the shop is indeed big. I know that Brother Zhang is diligent, honest, and tolerant. I thought that if you’re willing, you can go to the shop to help.”
Brother Zhang’s eyes lit up and he instantly straightened his back. “I’m willing, of course I’m willing.”
The Zhang family completely understood and were immediately overjoyed, especially Brother Zhang’s wife. When she heard that her man had found a stable job, her eyes turned red.
The others were very envious, but they were also happy for him. If Brother Zhang worked in the shop, the entire family would benefit.
Grandpa Zhang was the only one left. He snorted coldly and turned his back to everyone. He squatted on the ground and sulked.
Uncle Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Grandpa Zhang, we didn’t mean to make things difficult for you. It’s just that this job requires strength. I hired Brother Zhang to go elsewhere to collect the goods. There are many places to go every day. I know Grandpa Zhang is young and strong, but I’m afraid of exhausting you, right?”
Grandpa Zhang’s wife couldn’t help but kick his foot. “Alright, don’t you know how old you are? You’re panting after taking a few steps. You still want to follow them everywhere? Aren’t you afraid of falling sick from exhaustion? When the time comes, even if you earn money, you won’t be able to live to enjoy it. Wake up, didn’t the Yu family hire our first son? If you continue to have such a bad expression, what will happen to you if he loses the job?”
Grandpa Zhang immediately stood up from the ground. “That won’t do. Yanghong, you promised me that you would hire my first son.”
“Of course.”
Only then did Grandpa Zhang become happy. Forget it. If his son went to do it, so be it. He could also show off to others.
However, there was no time for him to show off. When Uncle Yu went to Carpenter Tan to talk about this, someone happened to come to look for Carpenter Tan to order something and heard Uncle Yu’s words from beginning to end.
The neighbors in this area instantly knew that Gu Dajiang’s family had opened a shop and handed it to the Yu family to manage.
