The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

From noon to dusk.

Fewer and fewer people are signing up.

The person in charge of registration can finally take a breath.

The brothers Lin Annong and Lin Andian sat slumped over the table, their arms hanging in the air. "I'm not saying this, but holding a pen is more tiring than working in the fields. My wrist hurts like a needle."

Lin Jiang laughed and rubbed his sore wrist, "The more capable you are, the more work you will do. Today is the first day of recruitment, and there are more people signing up. There will be fewer people in the next few days. How can a grown man be exhausted?"

As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of a thin figure outside the crowd.

Looking at the little girl, who was about ten years old, wearing patched blue clothes and pants, holding a quiet little boy's hand, both of them were pale and thin.

The eyes looking over here are filled with desire and envy, but more with sadness.

The two children had been standing there for a long time, and he caught a glimpse of them several times when he was taking the registration.

Lin Jiang pursed his lips, raised his foot and was about to walk over, but a graceful figure beside him was one step ahead of him.

"Are you siblings? Did you come here with your family?" Xu Enhui walked up to the siblings, squatted down, and asked with a smile.

As she walked, the eyes of villagers from various villages who had not left yet also gathered around her.

The little girl shrank back, then mustered up her courage and said, "My brother and I came here alone, there were no adults..."

Even though he mustered up his courage, his voice was still as small as a mosquito, and the following words were even more difficult to say.

Xu Enhui suddenly realized, "There are no adults here, and you brought your brother here. Do you want to sign up for work?"

"Yeah!" This time the girl nodded without hesitation and responded heavily.

"But you are too young—"

"I'm not young, I'm twelve years old! Sister, I can do everything. I can clean, wash, light the fire, cook, sew clothes, and I can farm! I'm really capable!"

Perhaps the elder sister who came to ask questions had a gentle voice and a kind smile, which gave the little girl more courage. She was eager to show herself, "I can do odd jobs, odd jobs, and I don't want a lot of wages, as long as I can earn a living. Give me two hundred, no, one, one hundred cents a month is fine! Sister, it's a good deal to hire me to work, really! I'm definitely not lazy!"

There were already other people nearby talking in low voices.

We are recruiting today and many of the people who signed up are from Shuangjiang Village.

"Why is she here? She's a jinx!"

"What jinx? Someone from your village?"

"She is from our village, a very pitiful little girl. Unfortunately, she has a bad fate. Her grandparents asked someone to read her fate, saying that she is the reincarnation of a jinx. First, her parents died, and later even her brother was made mute... All the relatives in the family were scared and dared not get close to her. Her grandparents also drove her and her brother out of the house."

"Oh my! If this workshop hires her, won't it bring bad luck to the workshop as well? Bah! Bad things don't work, but good things do!"

These words floated into the little girl's ears one by one. She lowered her head, not even daring to look into the eyes of her sister opposite her. She just took her brother's hand and turned with him to leave.

"Where are you going? Aren't you going to sign up? How can I help you register if you don't tell me your name?" The bony hand hanging on the other side was wrapped in warmth, and the woman's gentle smiling voice came into her ears.

The little girl first glanced at her hand, and then she looked up in disbelief. She was so shocked that her eyes widened. "Sister, I, I am a jinx, I have bad luck——"

She actually found a lot of jobs, but every time people found out she was a jinx, they would drive her away.

No one dared to touch her.

"Ah, I haven't told you yet, I also have bad luck." Xu Enhui also widened his eyes, his expression looked very serious, "My grandfather even went to the temple to ask the monk about this. The monk said that if I meet another unlucky person one day, my bad luck and her bad luck will collide and kill each other, and we will die together! From now on, we will never be unlucky again!"

"Really?" It was the first time the little girl had ever heard such a statement. She was so shocked that her eyes felt tired and her eyelids wanted to shrink.

The little boy next to him was frightened and looked around, trying to see if there was any bad luck fighting above his head.

"Of course it's true! I know from your words that you are a sensible and kind girl. Are you willing to help me get rid of bad luck?"

"Yes, I do! Sister, I do!"

The audience around: "…"

These words can only comfort a young girl who has never seen the world.

But he is the manager of the workshop and is willing to recruit people. No matter how taboo they feel, they have no right to stop him.

Besides, the brother and sister are really pitiful.

Hey, these days... maybe there really are great monks who can give advice?

Beside the wooden table, Lin Jiang had dipped the brush in ink and stood there, handsome and tall, with a little smile between his eyebrows, "Little girl, what's your name?"

"My name is Meng Liu, my brother is Meng Yuan, and my home is in Shuangjiang Village." Meng Liu stood in front of the table, his voice clear and choked with sobs.

"Okay, I've got it. Shuangjiang Village is a bit far from the workshop. There are dormitories behind the workshop for workers. You can live there if you pay 80 coins a month. Your situation is special, so you can bring your brother along if you're willing. We'll start work on October 1, from mid-day to twilight, and there'll be an hour for lunch at noon. Is that clear?"

"Understood! Thank you brother, thank you sister!" Meng Liu's eyes were already red. She took a step back with her brother and bowed deeply.

After leaving the workshop and walking to a deserted place, the little girl's tears, which she had been holding back for a long time, finally burst out, like a heavy rain.

After crying, the little face broke into a bright smile again, as if reborn.

This little episode did not cause much reaction at the entrance of the workshop.

After confirming their start time, those who successfully registered from each village left satisfied.

As for the fact that a jinx had joined the workshop, if it happened in the past, many people might have considered it unlucky.

But when the whole family has no food to eat, no one will care about these things.

If you don’t work and don’t earn money, your whole family will starve to death. Who would be afraid of a jinx?

The sky was covered with thicker haze, and the entrance to the workshop became deserted.

The adults cleared the tables and chairs and prepared to go home for dinner.

The three brothers and sisters of Bai Xiang came back from school and happened to be with their uncle, listening to him telling the story of the fight caused by bad luck.

Amid the children's laughter, Xu En looked back at the sky and sighed.

Isn't her ability to speak fluently a result of hard training due to having a grandfather who always needs her help?

"It's a pity that Grandpa Xu is not here, otherwise he would definitely curse." Bai Xiang shook his head and sighed, "I really like to hear Grandpa Xu curse."

Jin Duobao agreed, "Isn't it? I like to hear him scold me as a money-spending boy. He knows I'm rich just by hearing it!"

After the young master of the Jin family settled in Yuxi Village for a long time, he carried a small schoolbag and went to school with his good brothers and good friends. He didn't remember what the teacher taught him, but he made dozens of good brothers in one day.

Every day when I go to school, my schoolbag is filled with snacks that I share.

In a short period of time, the young master has become the most popular person among the students of both adults and children in the private school.

Today, when Lin Dashan went to pick up someone from the private school, he mentioned the recruitment scene and asked Lin Jiang in a low voice, "No one from the Zhang family came?"

Lin Jiang shook his head, his voice low and full of doubt, "It's impossible for them to not even show up for such a good thing. I'm also wondering."

It is impossible to say that the Zhang family has become honest after learning a lesson.
