Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Sanzhu was slightly disappointed, but he quickly became excited again.
To find a fixed job and work here in the county meant he didn’t have to work in the fields. It was something he had fantasized about for many years.
Moreover, this job didn’t seem difficult. He didn’t have to be busy all day like a shop assistant.
He was very willing to take up the job.
Just as Lu Sanzhu was about to nod, Shu Yu frowned and asked, “Why did Lord
Qi decide to hire my Third Uncle? Don’t you need to know about our origins?”
Lord Qi laughed out loud, “I believe that Lady Lu’s family background must be clean. Otherwise, the county office wouldn’t have appeared in time, no?” He had actually arrived a step earlier than Shu Yu and had wanted to save Lu
He didn’t expect Shu Yu’s swift actions. Without saying a word, she kicked everyone down.
At that time, Lord Qi had been thinking that this matter would probably not be settled easily.
He didn’t expect Hu Li to come over so soon.
One had to know that Lord Xiang and the others had not been in Jiangyuan County for long and were not very close to anyone. He had only spent a little more time with the Ding family’s Lord last time. The other wealthy families were still fumbling about, wanting to build a good relationship with him.
He did not expect that the official would help a Lu family member who seemed to have no background.
Lord Qi had seen Hu Li’s expression when he turned around and winked at Shu Yu. The two clearly knew each other.
Shu Yu understood when he heard this. Lord Qi was a straightforward person.
She thought for a moment and turned to ask Lu Sanzhu, “Are you willing to work here?”
Lu Sanzhu nodded and said very seriously, “Yes.”
Look at his sincere big eyes. He was about to go crazy with joy, okay? Shu Yu understood, “Alright. Thank you, Lord Qi. What is the pay like?”
“One tael of silver per moth.”
Lu Sanzhu’s eyes lit up. One tael!
Lord Qi continued, “Of course, if the workers perform well, some young masters and ladies might give tips. We will take half of the tipping money and the rest will be given to the workers themselves.”
Lu Sanzhu began to calculate in his heart. There were many young masters and ladies here. Even if he could only help out once a month, say they tipped him a tael of silver, and he would get half of it. Adding on his salary, he would still have a tael and a half per month.
In addition, his wife made more than one tael a month by sewing doll covers for Yu.
God, that would be two or three taels in total.
Lu Sanzhu felt that it was the right decision to come to the county today. Who would have thought that he and his wife’s employment would be settled in one day?
Lu Sanzhu gulped and asked with great ambition, “Umm, Lord Qi, may I ask about the salary if one becomes the steward?”
Lord Qi was speechless. He couldn’t tell.
He didn’t answer directly. He just smiled and said, “You’ll know when you become one.”
Shu Yu reminded Lu Shanzhu, “You should call him Boss Qi now.” “Oh, yeah, yeah. Boss, when should I start work?”
“I’ll give you a day to prepare. Come over the day after tomorrow.”
Lu Sanzhu took a deep breath and nodded energetically, “Yes, Boss!”
It was just enough time to go back and bring his clothes and bedding over. In the future, he would have to stay in the county for work. He couldn’t stay at home.
He wondered if he could stay at his Second Brother’s house. If not, he would have to rent a room. Sigh..
