The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 1178

[Chapter 1178: Running into walls everywhere]

When Jiang San heard this, he shook his head and said, “We’ve already settled in, so why go back to our hometown?”

Wu said, “What’s wrong with my hometown? I’ve been living here for decades, and it’s pretty good. Yes, you don’t have to stay in Kyoto Prefecture to live well. This Kyoto Prefecture is indeed prosperous, so what if we go back to our hometown?”

“It’s different!” Jiang San’s attitude was very determined.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu didn’t know what to say for a moment, she just kept shaking her head and sighing.

“Stop talking. Wait until tomorrow. I’ll ask the brother who worked with us on the road construction to see if he can recommend any work. Although I’m a little tired, I still have a few taels of silver a month, which is enough for us to live on.”

“Okay.” “Wu Shi nodded and said no more.

The next day arrived in a blink of an eye.

Riding another penny carriage, Jiang San came to the place where the road was originally built.

The asphalt road has been paved here, and only a few temporary wooden houses nearby have not been demolished.

A few gentlemen moved small stools and sat in front of the wooden house, basking in the sun and chatting.

Jiang San took a deep breath, walked up, found the original foreman, and smiled with him: “Boss Liu, are we still short of people at our construction site recently?”

The foreman named Liu was slightly startled when he heard the voice, and looked Jiang San up and down.

After being dazed for a moment, I remembered who he was.

He smiled and said, “Hey, isn’t this Jiang San? I heard that you made a lot of money on the exchange some time ago. You are now a rich man. Why are you asking about things on the construction site? Are relatives coming from your hometown?”

Jiang San shook his head and sighed: “How much money have I made? I can barely make a living. Now the exchange is in a slump and I can’t even make money. I just want to come to Boss Liu to have a look. What’s the point?” Is there a shortage of people? If there is a shortage of people, I can work now!”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Hearing this, Foreman Liu nodded and said, “The exchange seems to be in a bad situation. God, I want to recruit people, but I can’t. As a result, there are so many people these days that I can’t recruit.”

After a pause, he looked at Jiang San and said, “Jiang San, we have also moved bricks together. Brother, you came to me for more than half a year, you believe me, I won’t fool you, this construction site is indeed full of people.”

He had a good impression of Jiang San.

Strong and able to work.

And not lazy.

If possible, he would be willing to give him a chance.

The problem is that there are too many people on the construction site now, and there is really no such opportunity.

It’s strange. Just a few days ago, this group of people planned to go to Du Ming’s Mansion to build roads. They wanted to recruit people to quickly repair the remaining roads for him.

but?

Haven’t been able to recruit anyone.

There are rickshaw pullers everywhere on this street. It can be seen that there are still people who are willing to work hard, but no one is willing to come to the construction site, which is strange.

It just so happens that in the past few days, people have been coming over.

Can’t even choose.

In just one day, the construction site was full.

“Hey, if you had told me in advance, I would have reserved a place for you.”

Foreman Liu sighed and said.

When Jiang San heard this, he was slightly startled and said subconsciously: “Are there no people missing?”

In his impression, there was always a shortage of people at the construction site!

Every time, no matter how many people came from where they came from, the construction site would accept them all according to the order.

Why can’t it be done with him this time?

Jiang San began to wonder if he had offended Foreman Liu in some way.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn’t remember that I had offended him.

“Do you think you have offended me in some way, so I won’t let you come?”

Foreman Liu asked.

“No.” Jiang San waved his hands quickly, wanting to say something.

But before he could speak, Foreman Liu stretched out his hand to interrupt him: “Needless to say, I actually knew in my heart that we worked together at that time. You were diligent and strong, so you earned a lot of money, and I could share it.” As long as you can earn

money

, what’s the big deal if you offend me?

The construction site is really full of people. If it doesn’t work, go to other construction sites, but I guess they are all full. “If you had come the day before yesterday, there might still be a place, but now, I don’t know what’s going on. There is no shortage of people everywhere.”

“If I can help you, I will really help you, but on this construction site, Everyone has to be written on the list, and you know that everyone before has already been written on it, and it’s too late to change it now.”

Having said that, Jiang San didn’t stay anymore. It’s necessary.

And he knew that Foreman Liu really wanted to help him.

After all, the two of them had not seen each other for such a long time, and it was not easy for Foreman Liu to be willing to say so many things to him and explain everything from beginning to end.

If it were anyone else, they would have probably kicked them out by now.

He forced a smile and said, “Thank you, Foreman Liu. I’ll treat you to dinner when I have the opportunity.”

Foreman Liu waved his hand and said no more.

Jiang San turned and left.

Walking aimlessly on the road of self-cultivation, he just felt confused.

There was no one else on the construction site, what else could he do now?

Looking at the rickshaws around him, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

If that doesn’t work, pull the rickshaw yourself.

It’s all about working hard, what can’t be done?

So, I asked someone to inquire and came to the rickshaw shop.

You know, the price of this rickshaw is not cheap.

I heard that each one costs dozens of taels of silver.

You can never sell it, you can only rent it.

If you want to rent one, you can only go to the rickshaw shop.

As soon as he reached the door of the rickshaw shop, he was dumbfounded.

There was a sea of people in front of me.

People are next to each other, and people are crowded with each other.

“Are these all here to rent rickshaws?”

Jiang San blurted out.

The person next to him replied: “That’s not true. This rickshaw earns more money. Who doesn’t want to earn money?”

“Brother, how much money did you earn from pulling a rickshaw?”

Jiang San looked at the man and asked.

The man replied: “I used to sell vegetables, but I have nothing to do these days. I wanted to come and see if there are any rickshaws for rent, but I guess there are none.”

Jiang San seemed to realize something when he heard this. The face becomes cold.

The next second, I saw a bunch of people being kicked out.

A young man stood at the door, glanced around, and shouted loudly: “All the ten rickshaws that came today have been rented! There are no more rickshaws, and it is useless for you to squeeze in here! Let’s all disperse! Let’s disperse.” Come on!”

There will be no rickshaws so soon?

Jiang San stood there, a little confused.

At this time, someone asked loudly: “When will it be available?”

The clerk looked at the man and replied: “It will take at least three days. If you come back in three days, I guess there will be a few cars available!”

“. “

For a moment, Jiang San was desperate.
