When Cheng Yue arrived at the headman's house, she happened to see the whole family there, apparently discussing the wheat harvest.

Although the door was open, Cheng Yue still knocked.

Feng saw Cheng Yue at a glance, and immediately stood up and greeted her warmly, "Cheng Yue girl, come in and sit down!"

Seeing that she didn't have anything in her hands this time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

That day, the old man came back from the mountain with a jar of wine and a bag of meat in his hands. If he continued like this, he would not be able to repay the favor.

But Cheng Yue always brings valuable things every time she comes, so they are afraid when they see her now.

Of course, except for the village head, he was both afraid and expectant.

He has figured out Cheng Yue. She only comes to visit when there are good things happening.

The whole family was there, and Cheng Yue called them over one by one. After they sat down, he asked directly: "Uncle Lizheng, I came here to ask you, is there anyone in our village who can read and do math?

I want to hire a clerk in my shop. I don't need to do any complicated calculations, as long as I can collect the right money."

Before the head of the village could say anything, Zhang Dashan's wife Qian Yulan's eyes visibly lit up.

"Sister Cheng Yue, Shao Wen can read. He studied for two months when he was a child."

Except for Chen Gen from Chen Ping's family who is still studying, the only ones who can read are her and Zhang Dashan's eldest son Zhang Shaowen, and two children in the village.

When I sent my children to school, it was not for the purpose of seeking fame and fortune. I just wanted them to be able to write and do math so that they could find an easy and respectable job when they grew up.

There is no need to work hard in the fields to dig for food like them.

However, Zhang Shaowen didn't know what happened. He only studied for two months and later refused to go no matter what.

Obviously, he is smart and learns things quickly, but when they ask again, it means they are afraid of spending money.

The child was stubborn and would not go no matter how hard they tried. Even though they felt sorry, there was nothing they could do.

Now that Cheng Yue asked about it, and it was such a good thing to be a waiter, Qian Yulan couldn't help but shout it out.

The head of the village glared at her and said, "Big brother's wife, what nonsense are you talking about? This is a matter of accounting and collection. It is not a small matter."

He also knew that this was a good thing and he was tempted, but there were two other people in the village who had studied with Zhang Shaowen. He could not afford good things and only thought about his grandson.

This let the villagers know what others would say about him, the village head. Isn't this obviously taking advantage of his status?

Zhang Dashan also glared over. Qian Yulan could only purse her lips and remain silent. She had just spoken too quickly and didn't have any other thoughts.

Cheng Yue didn't care about the lawsuit between the two people. She just wanted to find the right person. It didn't matter who it was. She just said:

"Uncle Lizheng, besides Shao Wen, is there anyone else in the village who can read?

Of course, being literate is not enough. To run a food business, one must also be clean, have good health, and most importantly, have good character.”

Zhang Shaowen, who was sitting nearby, held his breath, raised his eyes and glanced at the village head, then quickly lowered his head.

He knew his grandfather's concerns.

The head of the village did not hold back. Hearing this, he immediately named the names of the people. "Zhang Fubao from Zhang Datou's family and Liu Jinsheng from Liu Youcai's family are both educated."

But as they were talking, I felt something was wrong. Cheng Yue said that one must be in good health, clean, and have good character.

Finding a clerk for the shop is a big deal. If something goes wrong, wouldn’t he be harming Cheng Yue?

After thinking about it, he had to talk about the situation of the two families, "There are some things I need to make clear to you. There is nothing wrong with these two children, but it is a bit difficult to say about their parents.

Zhang Datou used to be a gambler. Zhang Fubao dropped out of school because of this reason, but he has changed now.

Liu Jinsheng's father is fine, but his mother is a bit unreasonable. "

Qian Yulan almost laughed out loud when she heard this, "Dad, what you said is not true. Zhang Datou's legs were chopped off because he couldn't pay back the money he owed. How can that be considered a good person?

No gambler can change for the better.

I also have a talented daughter-in-law. You are praising her if you say she is unreasonable!

How did Jin Sheng drop out of school? It was because his mother went to the school every day to make trouble, and the teacher was so angry that he sent Jin Sheng home and said he would not accept him anymore! "

Qian Yulan puffed out her chest after she finished speaking. After all, her Shao Wen was the only one who was suitable.

You see, if the parents are not good enough, their children will not be able to accept good things even if they are given to them.

Not to mention anything else, I will never hold my children back. Just on this point, they can't compare with me.

The village head didn't say anything this time. After all, it was the fact, what else could he say?

After talking around, it seems that only his grandson is suitable. He has good character and is down-to-earth. Apart from his stubborn temper, he doesn't have any other problems.

Everyone in their family is sensible, except Qian Yulan who is a little quick-tempered, but she has a kind heart and is a good person.

The village head is confident about these requirements.

After hearing this, Cheng Yue's mouth twitched. What kind of family is this with all the five evils?

She has a father who is addicted to gambling and a mother who is unreasonable. If things get out of hand, she will be in big trouble.

She wouldn't want a child from this kind of family, no matter how good the child is. It's not that she looks down on people, but she really can't afford the risk.

What is there to choose? Cheng Yue shook her head and looked at the children sitting next to her. She had no impression of Zhang Shaowen and couldn't tell who was who for a moment.

Qian Yulan keenly noticed Cheng Yue's gaze and said excitedly: "Sister Cheng Yue, I am not bragging as a mother, Shao Wen is an honest man and learns things quickly. The teacher often praised him in the past!

One more thing, don't worry, we as parents will never care about our children's affairs!

If we can really hand him over to you, you can take care of him however you want and we will definitely not say a word!

Shao Wen, what are you doing with your head down? Come over and sit closer so your Aunt Cheng Yue can have a good look at you!"

What Qian Yulan said is similar to what some modern parents say when they hand their children over to teachers.

The rhetoric of ancient and modern times has become the same, Cheng Yue couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Shaoben was already a little embarrassed, and his face turned even redder when Qian Yulan called him that.

But he also knew that this might be his only chance and he couldn't miss it.

He mustered up the courage and stood up, "Aunt Cheng Yue, I can count. I haven't wasted my time studying for so many years. If you think I can do it, I want to try!"

The whole family smiled with relief. The child was usually quiet, but today he was very considerate and knew how to fight for his own interests.

After I stopped going to school that year, I was depressed for a long time before I recovered.

The boy, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, had bright and clear eyes. Cheng Yue felt that he was a good match for her at first sight.

In fact, the children sitting next to them were all nice, the kind of people you could tell were kind at first glance.

The headman's family is harmonious, so it would be hard for them to raise a bad child.

Cheng Yue smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, come with us to the shop tomorrow and try it out."

"Aren't you going to test me?" Zhang Shaowen widened his eyes in disbelief. Why did Aunt Cheng Yue agree so quickly? She knew that he had only studied for two months.

Cheng Yue raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You said you would keep your word, so of course I believe you."

She believed in the character of the village head's family. If it was yes, it was yes. If it was no, it was no. They would not lie.

Besides, whether it is a mule or a horse, we have to take it out for a walk. We will know if we try it tomorrow, right?

"Thank you Aunt Cheng Yue for believing in me."

Zhang Shaowen's heart was filled with infinite gratitude. He dropped out of school because fear of spending money was just an excuse, but it was Chen Gen who took the lead in bullying him.

Even if there was only one person willing to believe him at that time, he would not drop out of school.
