After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

Chapter 42: A group of little beggars came to the door

"Do we know each other?" Zhu Jiangjiang asked hesitantly.

In her impression, she didn't seem to have seen this person before.

"A few days ago, when the little lady came home from the city at night, I met you..."

The man looked guilty, his voice became lower and lower, and in the end he seemed to admit his mistake.

"A few days ago..." Zhu Jiangjiang lowered his eyes and recalled what happened a few days ago. As if thinking of something, he suddenly shouted, "You are that little thief!"

"How dare you show up?" Isn't he too courageous to provoke her?

Zhu Jiangjiang was so angry that he wanted to call out, but the man hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Little lady, don't misunderstand, I'm here to thank you."

"thank?"

"I just heard that the little lady is looking for someone to do rough work. If you don't dislike it, I am willing to use my labor to atone for the little lady." The man finished speaking quickly, afraid that Zhu Jiangjiang would call for someone.

This proposal can solve Zhu Jiangjiang's urgent need, but...

"I have a lot of work at home, just you?"

"It's not just me, there are eight brothers and sisters in my temple." The man pointed to the direction outside the city.

After much consideration, Zhu Jiangjiang seemed to have only one choice, so she agreed to the man's proposal and asked him to take his people to Xiaohuang Village tomorrow.

"Do you know how to get to Xiaohuang Village? You should be the first one at the entrance of Xiaohuang Village."

"I know, I followed you all that night." The man lowered his head even lower.

"you!"

Zhu Jiangjiang pointed at him, his chest rising and falling, "Forget it, remember to come early tomorrow, don't be late!"

The next day.

Upon waking up, Zhu Jiangjiang suddenly became annoyed, did she go to the doctor in a hurry yesterday, and dared to let someone of unknown origin come to her house?

Is she too impulsive?

Just when she was regretting and praying that the man from yesterday would turn his back on his word and not show up, when she opened the door, she saw a group of ragged people with clean faces standing at the gate of her yard.

The man in the lead is the little thief named Zhou Liang from yesterday.

"Why did you come so early?" Zhu Jiangjiang was surprised.

Because she had something on her mind, she woke up early today and looked at the sky. At this moment, it was just dawn, and they had already arrived!

"You don't wake up in the middle of the night, do you?"

Zhu Jiangjiang suddenly felt the pressure, but changed his mind about them again.

She was already surprised that they promised to come to work to repay their favor, and now they came before dawn in order not to be late, which moved her very much.

It also made her feel very relieved, at least it showed that they were pure in nature.

"Little lady, if you have any work, just tell us, we'll do it right away." Zhou Liang only took a step forward and didn't come any closer.

He was afraid that he would dirty her newly built house.

Zhu Jiangjiang rubbed her eyes before she could clearly see the people standing in her yard.

This group of people looked thinner and smaller than the other, and none of them were over twenty.

There was also a little girl who was about the same height as Pei Xiaoyu hiding behind Zhou Liang, poking her head out nervously and cautiously to see her.

From this point of view, Zhou Liang seems to be the leader among them.

"There's no hurry to work, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" They must have not eaten since they came so early, "I'll make breakfast after I wash my face, you go and sit in the room for a while."

Zhu Jiangjiang opened the door completely and let them in, but none of them moved.

"make breakfast?"

The group of little beggars looked at each other, communicated in low voices, and finally cast their eyes on Zhou Liang, as if asking him what to do?

Zhou Liang didn't know what to do, so he could only take them to stand in the yard and wait.

After Zhu Jiangjiang opened the door, he went into the kitchen. After washing his face with water, he lit a fire in the kitchen to cook porridge.

She didn't pay attention to the outside, and it was because Pei Xiaoyu was scared and ran in that she realized that Zhou Liang and the others were standing still.

"Sister-in-law, there are many people outside."

Zhu Jiangjiang didn't raise his head, and continued to cook, "I know, they were hired by my sister-in-law, don't be afraid."

"Then why didn't they come in?" Pei Xiaoyu didn't respond to the clothes of the group outside, because she was also dressed like that a few months ago.

She was just curious, since it was her sister-in-law who found him, why didn't she come in?

"Didn't they enter the house?" Zhu Jiangjiang heard the words and ran out with a spatula.

Seeing that Zhou Liang and the others were still standing, they were dissatisfied: "Zhou Liang, didn't I ask you to take them into the house? Why are you still standing!"

Everyone in the village started to get up and go out. If they saw her, they would think that she got into some trouble and was being chased for debts.

"Come in!"

There was cooking in the pot, Zhu Jiangjiang didn't have time to talk nonsense with them, so he turned around and went back to the kitchen after urging him.

After a while, the porridge in the pot boiled, bubbling and bubbling. Cover the pot and simmer for a while, and it's ready.

He and Pei Xiaoyu came out of the kitchen with the dishes, saw Zhou Liang and others sitting on the edge of the terrace floor at the door, and when they saw her coming, they stood up to greet her.

Zhu Jiangjiang really convinced them, "I said, how many times do you want me to invite you to come in?"

"No, no." Zhou Liang stopped Zhu Jiangjiang who walked in the door, "Little lady, we won't enter the house if we are dirty, just tell us what to do."

Their cautious and self-deprecating appearance made Zhu Jiangjiang inexplicably uncomfortable.

She could tell that Zhou Liang's temperament was not like this, at least the impression he gave her yesterday was that he was courteous, neither humble nor overbearing. ,

If it wasn't for the food and the group of people younger than him behind him, he wouldn't be so humble.

"Xiaoyu, go and bring eleven pairs of bowls and chopsticks." Zhu Jiangjiang bowed his head and said to Pei Xiaoyu.

After finishing speaking, she smiled at them, "Then eat outside."

Zhu Jiangjiang didn't want to put pressure on them, so he moved the table to the terrace at the door, and then moved out the large and small chairs at home.

Finally, a large porcelain bowl of porridge was placed on the table, and Pei Xiaoyu also set up the dishes.

Under the puzzled eyes of Zhou Liang and the others, Zhu Jiangjiang filled each bowl with hot porridge one by one.

"Today's job is to fence the yard. After breakfast in a while, Zhou Liang, you take a few strong boys and me to the mountain to cut bamboo. The two little girls will stay at home. Xiaoyu will take care of them. .”

She didn't give Zhou Liang a chance to speak at all, and continued with the tone of the boss: "As for the food, I will pay three meals a day for working, and there will be no wages. Do you have any objections?"

Zhou Liang was too frightened by her aura to dare to speak. She looks so weak, but she can act so decisively?

But he seems to have forgotten how much he was beaten when he robbed her last time.

This is almost like a dream. Have they really become people who depend on their work for a living, and are no longer beggars begging for food on the street?
