On the other hand, Su Changshun and Su Qing stood at the door and looked at each other before entering the courtyard.
The Su family’s courtyard was really small, even smaller than Aunt Ke’s.
Although Aunt Ke’s house only had two sleeping rooms, the rooms were big. The two rooms in the Su family’s house were pitifully small, as if they were one room that was separated by one wall.
The central room was also small. When the five of them entered, the central room seemed to be filled.
Su Qing quickly poured some water and stood behind Su Changshun. She looked uneasy. She was still worried that what the woman next door had said would leave a very bad impression on Gu Yundong.
Gu Yundong took a sip of water to quench her thirst and went straight to the point. “My surname is Gu. My shop is on Dahui Road. It’s a little far from here and will open in a few days. The shopkeeper is Uncle Zheng. You’re familiar with him. He needs two workers. One has already been chosen. Uncle Zheng recommended you to me and said that you’re honest and hardworking, so I came over to take a look. What about you? What do you think? Do you have any intention of coming along?”
Su Qing was very happy, and the worry in her heart was relieved.
She quickly turned to look at her brother. Su Changshun was still a little confused. This girl actually wanted to hire him as a shop assistant?
How could he have a job? He didn’t have to think about finding work every day. When he was a porter, his salary was low and often delayed. Moreover, he would work under Uncle Zheng. Uncle Zheng was a good person and never hit or scolded them casually.
After Su Changshun was done being excited, he gradually calmed down and said, “Miss Gu, you heard it just now. I… I have a bad reputation.”
“Are you referring to being treated as a thief? Uncle Zheng has already told me that. I trust him, so I hope you won’t let him down. If you’re willing, work hard in the shop in the future. I won’t treat you badly.”
Hearing that she didn’t mind, Su Changshun finally heaved a long sigh of relief. There was a happy smile on his face. “I, I’m willing. I’ll do my best.”
“Yes, about the salary, three taels of silver a month temporarily. If you do well in the future, your salary will increase. If you think there’s no problem, we can sign the contract now.”
The salary in the prefectural city was higher. Zheng Gang did well in the county city, so she gave him ten taels of silver.
In the future, Gu Yundong felt that there should be no problem with increasing his salary annually.
She thought about it. After the new year, she could also raise the salary of the old employees at the workshop.
When Su Changshun heard that it was three taels of silver, how could he not be willing? He hurriedly nodded.
“I-I’ll go borrow a pen and paper now. We can sign the contract soon.”
“There’s no need. I have the contract. You just need to put your thumbprint on it.” Gu Yundong had already prepared multiple employment contracts. The names and positions were different, but the contents were similar.
Su Changshun took it and pressed his thumb on it without even reading.
Gu Yundong smiled. It seemed that Zheng Gang’s trust was not wrong. Su Changshun also trusted Zheng Gang very much.
She was quite satisfied with Su Changshun. Although he was not good with words, it could be seen that he was very protective of his family and was not afraid of hardship or exhaustion.
Zhuangzi, on the other hand, was a smart person. He was eloquent and complemented Su Changshun. The two of them were very suitable for each other.
If both of them could talk, they would probably quarrel.
Gu Yundong was about to leave after settling on the shop assistant.
At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open and an older woman came in with a basket..
