The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 1179

[Chapter 1179 Raise the rent]

so many people, how many cars can we free up in three days?

Let alone a few cars, even dozens of cars are not enough for them to share!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang San felt dizzy, and for a moment he didn’t know what to do.

All I can do is strength work.

There are just two places, one is the construction site and the other is the rickshaw. If there is no way to do either of these, the only choice is to find a way to enter the workshop and become a boy.

However, just now at Foreman Liu’s place, he knew that in just a few days, countless people came to the construction site every day, but they all had no chance.

There are so many people on this rickshaw side.

Even if you are a fool, you should know at this moment that jobs in Kyoto Prefecture are not so easy to find.

Do you really want to go back to your hometown to farm?

Jiang San always felt a little unwilling.

He had already come to a prosperous city like Kyoto Prefecture and earned some money, but now he was asked to go back in despair. How could he be willing to do so?

But what can we do if we don’t go back?

The expenses in Kyoto Prefecture are completely different from those in my hometown.

Don’t talk about anything else, just talk about the rent of this mansion, which is five taels of silver a month, which is sixty taels a year.

The money he earned was only enough for them to stay in Kyoto Prefecture for a year at most, and that was it.

In addition, we also need food and clothes. Where does all this money come from?

Jiang San still understands this truth.

He stood there and hesitated for a long time, but in the end he still couldn’t make up his mind.

Wait, wait.

Maybe things will get better on the exchange side in a few days, and there will be more work here.

Jiang San thought so in his heart, so he took a penny carriage back again.

He did this for three or four days.

I came to the south of the city in the early morning and went back until dusk, but except for some trivial chores, there was no chance.

All together, I didn’t earn even half a tael of silver.

“This can’t go on like this.”

Jiang San walked aimlessly on the road, becoming more and more desperate.

The exchange is as usual, still falling and falling.

It seems that the entire exchange is a bottomless pit, always falling!

Because of this, more and more people have no way to stay on the exchange.

I can only come out and find some work like Jiang San.

The results are obviously the same.

Jiang San couldn’t find a job, so naturally they couldn’t either.

In the past, recruitment notices were posted everywhere in shops throughout the south of the city. What about now?

If you walk for a long time, you may not be able to see a shop recruiting people.

That’s all.

There is only one company recruiting people, but there is still a long queue in front of the door.

Many people cannot survive in Kyoto Prefecture and have no choice but to leave.

As for Jiang San, who still had some financial resources, he still didn’t leave and chose to hold on.

However, gradually, he also began to want to quit.

It is definitely not an option to continue like this.

If I go back to my hometown now, I might be able to find a good job. But when it’s too late, there might be no jobs in my hometown.

Jiang San thought so and sighed.

He was still a little unwilling in his heart.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard a loud noise.

Looking up, he saw a porridge shed not far away.

This porridge shed belongs to His Royal Highness the Prince.

It is said that it belongs to His Highness the Crown Prince, but in fact everyone in Kyoto Prefecture understands it.

This porridge shed is still under the control of Anguo Gongfu most of the time.

A month ago, this porridge shed was still deserted. Except for some beggars with missing arms and legs, few people were willing to come.

After all, everyone’s life is better, and no one wants to drink these gruels even if they don’t need money.

However, at this moment, the porridge shed is full of people, crowded with people.

Many people even quarreled over a bowl of porridge.

There were many well-dressed people among them, who were obviously recently down and out.

Jiang San looked at them and suddenly saw a familiar figure.

It was his friend who was with him at the exchange.

Has he actually fallen to the point where he has been reduced to a porridge shack

?

Jiang San’s eyes darkened, he withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward.

However, his pace became slower and slower, and every step he took seemed to weigh a lot.

At dusk, I returned to the mansion on the third corner as usual.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Mrs. Wu say: “The owner of this mansion came just now and said that the rent will be increased next month.”

When Jiang San heard this, he was slightly startled, and then frowned tightly. He stood up and said, “How can the price increase from five taels of silver a month?”

Although the mansion in Kyoto Prefecture is very expensive, in such a remote place on the third corner, five taels of silver a month is really not low.

Sixty taels a year, six hundred taels in ten years, one thousand eight hundred taels in thirty years.

One thousand eight hundred taels is enough to buy this mansion!

Just like that, he actually wants to raise the rent! ?

That’s too much!

“I’ll go find him and reason!” Jiang San looked a little angry.

All day long, what he saw and heard made him very depressed. It was just that the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt had gone up. After all, everyone’s life was not easy because of the exchange.

Why do you want to increase your rent?

What’s more, the rent of five taels of silver is already a lot!

He was about to leave angrily.

But Wu stopped him: “No need to look for it, people have made it clear. Next month it will still be five taels of silver, but next month it will be six taels of silver. We are not willing to rent, but there are many people who are willing.”

After a pause, he continued: “I’m telling the truth. In the past few days, there have been a lot of charlatans coming to the corner of the third corner, all asking about the mansion. Such a mansion can be rented for six taels of silver nearby. It’s not easy to still have five taels of silver next month.”

Jiang San was silent when he heard this, and didn’t know what to say for a while.

Five taels of silver is already a huge burden, let alone six taels of silver.

During this period of time, he had almost visited the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

Just can’t find any work.

How can it continue like this if nothing is done?

“Hey” Jiang San sighed involuntarily, frowning.

Seeing Jiang San’s gloomy look, Mrs. Wu advised: “Don’t worry, if it doesn’t work out, let’s just go back to our hometown. It’s no big deal.”

“Is there any difficulty in this world that we can’t get over? Didn’t we have a good time when we were farming in the past? “Very good?”

“I know you are not willing to give in. In fact, there are some things I have wanted to tell you for a long time. You asked us two to come to Kyoto Prefecture, and we have seen what Kyoto Prefecture is like and stayed here for such a long time. We are already very happy. It’s no big deal to go back. It’s just a dream.”

“I told Sheng’er this morning and asked him if he wanted to go home, and he was willing.”

“Let’s go home. No matter

how good Kyoto Prefecture is, it is not our home.”

Although Wu is just a village woman, her knowledge and speech are no worse than those of women in Kyoto Prefecture, or even better.

Jiang San’s brows relaxed a little and he fell into deep thought.

To go back or not to go back is the question.
