Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Bumping into the South Wall. Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Bumping into the South Wall. Bai Xiao’s sister and brother-in-law had been indirectly helped by her, and it was very likely that the Bai Family’s spicy hotpot restaurant would soon start opening branches. If Bai Xiao could share more of her thoughts with Bai Yue and Wang Yan, she believed that it wouldn’t take many years for the Bai Family’s hotpot restaurant to flourish.
Once the national chain operation began, with no one to compete, she was confident that the Bai Family’s spicy hotpot could become the leading chain hotpot restaurant in the country. To put it bluntly, by the time others started to imitate them, their restaurant might have already stabilized its foothold in the catering market.
This was the advantage of being the first mover.
Now, because of He Weng’s trip to the coal mine, she had come to understand him a bit.
He was smart, quick-thinking, and naturally clever. Most importantly, he was steady and careful in his approach. He was patient, didn’t rush to escape when he was trapped but waited for the right moment. These were all personal traits, and she also learned that He Weng came here to repay her kindness.
Grateful and intelligent, such a person would really defy all reason if he didn’t find good development opportunities in the future.
“I plan to just find a job here first, as long as it provides food and shelter. The amount of money doesn’t matter, I need to take it slow. I’ve never worked on a construction site before, so I need to learn it first, acquire a skill, and then think about what to do next!” He Weng had thought it through, since he had no skills but could get food and accommodation, he would just start doing this.
Eventually, once he had acquired the skills, he could consider moving from being a minor worker to a major one. He had heard that when the time comes to work, one could earn eight yuan a day.
That would make more than 200 yuan a month, an astronomical figure.
He Wang wanted to say something, his mouth moved but he couldn’t speak for a long time.
His brother had already shared his thoughts with him, and he knew that what his brother said about not being able to control his whole life was right.
One has to walk their own path to find out what they can truly do.
This child was finally growing up.
What he wanted to say was that he didn’t advise He Weng to become a construction worker, as the work at a construction site was not easy—moving bricks, carrying cement, transporting sand, and mud. His younger brother’s physique had only survived two months before he came out, and upon coming out, he was like a wolf’s den, skinny as a cardboard. However, he didn’t raise any objections because he knew.
With He Weng’s current condition, no foreman on any construction site would take him; one look at his physique and they would know he couldn’t handle heavy labor. No one would spend money to have someone just ‘hang around’.
He was prepared to let his brother face some hard knocks.
Only by being deceived and experiencing setbacks would he understand how good his family was to him.
Otherwise, even if he tried to persuade him tirelessly, his brother wouldn’t appreciate it and might even be unhappy. He also figured it out that, rather than that, it’s better to let go and let his brother try and see for himself.
Isn’t there an old saying that goes, “Won’t give up until reaching the Yellow River, won’t turn back until hitting the south wall”?
Letting He Weng hit the south wall might make him realize that life outside isn’t as easy as he imagined.
Getting a job isn’t as easy as just finding one; many tasks that others can do might not be manageable for you.
This is the reality.
Bai Xiao responded with an “Oh.”
Looking up at He Weng, she said, “I think with your current physical condition, if you were to look for some kind of manual labor, it might not be suitable. Whether or not a boss would hire you is one thing, but you probably wouldn’t be able to handle it, and it might cause more harm than good.”
