Although the fifty men harbored dissatisfaction, none of them walked away in protest.
Mr. Chen observed their discontent.
“Governor Su mentioned that this assessment is unique, and the distinct nature of it will come with special considerations. For the next ten days, you’ll receive daily wages calculated at the standard rate for handymen.”
“However, if anyone still deems it a loss, you have the option to voluntarily forfeit your spot.”
He paused, awaiting any takers.
The men exchanged glances, but none signaled an intention to leave. One even voiced a query, “If we start with 25 people and eliminate half, will the second elimination leave us with 13 or 12 candidates?”
They were eager to understand their odds and secure another opportunity.
Mr. Chen clarified, “My apologies for any confusion. Regardless of the number remaining after the second stage, only twelve will move forward.”
“Until then, no one can be certain. Commit to the task without withdrawing midway.”
In unison, the 50 young men pledged, “We will see it through to the end!”
Those who had advanced in the first round demonstrated resilience and endurance, traits well-suited for handyman work.
Su Bin expressed contentment with their commitment, saying, “It’s settled then. Liu Dazhuang, Poxed Face Wang, get them ready for work.”
“Yes!” responded Liu Dazhuang and Poxed Face Wang, leading the group to their tasks.
Meanwhile, Mr. Chen remained to oversee the labor, while Su Bin promptly returned home to be with his wife.
Su Bin hurried home and, upon learning that his wife was in the backyard, promptly headed there to find her.
In the pavilion, Su Ning and Mother Wang were with Qin Zhenzhen, where appetizers were set on the table.
Looking at Qin Zhenzhen’s expression, Su Bin inquired, “Wife, how are you feeling now?”
Having witnessed his wife vomit earlier in the day, his heart ached at the memory. He wished he could endure the discomfort on her behalf.
“I feel much better after having some sour plums.”
Although not as lively as before and lacking her usual vigor, Qin Zhenzhen’s improved state offered some relief to Su Bin’s concerns.
“Have you eaten this morning?” Su Bin inquired.
Su Ning chimed in, “Third Sister-in-law didn’t want much. She only had some porridge.”
Qin Zhenzhen smiled, “Porridge can still fill my stomach. Besides, I had other things. ”
The spiritual water on her finger functioned as effectively as any pregnancy stabilization pill. Apart from the morning vomiting, she experienced minimal discomfort.
Now, her thoughts turned to her plans for Fourth Brother.
Originally, she could have feigned pregnancy, avoiding public appearances and secretly aiding Fourth Brother in quelling the riot. However, with her current pregnancy, Su Bin wouldn’t permit her to risk such endeavors.
Feeling somewhat powerless, Qin Zhenzhen realized she had underestimated the challenges posed by pregnancy reactions.
Su Bin gazed at her tenderly. “What did you eat? Do you still want something?
I’ll get it for you.”
Su Ning was taken aback. What was going on with her Third Brother?
Throughout Third Sister-in-law’s previous pregnancies, she had never witnessed this side of Third Brother.
His gentle demeanor toward Third Sister-in-law seemed as if he could wring water from his voice. Were Su Ning and Auntie Wang becoming a nuisance to Third Brother?
Catching Auntie Wang’s eye, Su Ning stood up. “Auntie Wang, the bedclothes in my room need changing. Join me, please.”
She and.
