Chapter 299, Wake up the Stupid Young Master⑦

Wu Chenggong's thoughts are relatively simple.

He thought work could be difficult, it was just moving goods and doing some work.

He is very confident that he can do it well.

So early on the first day, he went to the town and prepared to work as a porter first.

Because only the moving team's wages are paid in cash.

And he still owed that local girl Yuan Shuiqin twenty taels, so he needed the money immediately. I hope I can return it to her as soon as possible.

So he went to the dock with great interest and started talking to the boss on the dock.

The boss saw that he was strong and tall, so he agreed to let him try.

Wu Chenggong confidently loaded a bag of rice first, but found that the bag of rice was quite heavy on his shoulders.

But he can still accept a bag of rice.

But the boss couldn't just let him carry one bag.

So when the second bag and the third bag of rice were placed on his shoulders, Wu Chenggong couldn't help gritting his teeth.

Damn it, why didn't anyone tell him before that he had to carry three bags of rice together?

His shoulders were barely pressed down.

Fortunately, he has good foundation and has practiced martial arts since he was a child. After all, he can still carry three bags of rice onto the boat.

The boss took advantage of this and laughed at him, "Little brother, if it doesn't work, don't do it. Look at how sweaty you are."

Wu Chenggong was unconvinced and felt that his boss looked down upon him.

So he said with a straight face, "No, I can do it."

After that, he continued to move the goods.

He moved from morning to evening, and finally finished moving all the goods before the sun went down.

Seeing that he was quite perseverant and very meticulous in his work, the boss gave him an extra ten dollars.

But when those coins were put into Wu Chenggong's hands, he just felt that the boss was too cheating.

He has moved so many things, why doesn't he even have a tael of silver?

The boss laughed loudly.

"I said, little brother, you escaped from your family, right? We charge this price for moving goods. You might as well go and find out. The price here is considered to be the highest." The wages in other places are not as high as his.

Wu Chenggong saw that other workers also paid the same price, so he didn't say anything.

After thanking the boss, he was ready to go back.

He worked for a day, and his whole body ached to death, but he only got a hundred coppers. It was really not worth it.

In addition, he didn't eat at noon, so he would be really hungry.

He went home weakly and started eating like crazy as soon as he got home.

After eating, I was too tired to move, so I lay down and fell asleep.

Mr. Wu did come to see him once after dinner.

When he saw his grandson lying down to sleep when he was tired, he also felt that the child was growing up slowly.

When he woke up the next day, Wu Chenggong regained his strength.

It was just the aftereffects of moving things that made his muscles sore all over.

But thinking that he still owed someone twenty taels, he got up to eat again, and then hurriedly continued to move things.

When the boss of the dock saw that he was still coming, he smiled and praised, "You have the guts to keep doing it?"

Wu Chenggong said firmly, "Do it."

Only by enduring hardship can one become a master. He now understands this.

It's just that suffering is real, but it's impossible for a person to be superior to another.

He can only move goods here temporarily and cannot do it for a long time. Otherwise, the body will not be able to bear it.

After he finished moving the goods and received his wages, he went to the nearby streets to see if there was any other work.

He looked around and asked, and found that the wages were generally very low.

So he simply went to the more expensive pharmacy to try his luck.

When the shopkeeper of the pharmacy saw that he was applying for the position of accountant, he asked him, "Do you know how to do accounts?"

Wu Chenggong took the keyboard in his hand and asked him to write the question.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper told him some accounts.

After Wu Chenggong heard this, he didn't even need to memorize it, and just made the abacus.

The shopkeeper was satisfied when he saw that his calculation was accurate.

After the two of them discussed the wages and time, including including a meal at noon, the job was finally settled.

Seeing that he was a formidable young man, the pharmacy manager asked him, "Young man, you are from Yuanjia Village. Are you familiar with that girl Yuanshuiqin?"

"Gensui Qin?"

Wu Chenggong remembered that the village girl Yuan Shuiqin sold herbal medicine here, so he gave the boss a wary look.

"You have something to do with her?"

The pharmacy manager cheered, "I'm not looking for him, it's my nephew who has taken a liking to her and wants to know what she means."

"Your nephew?"

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy has cooperated with Shuyan Shangshen several times, and he knows that Yuan Shuiqin is a capable girl who is waiting in the harem.

In addition, my nephew had met Yuan Shuiqin last time, and he wanted to take Yuan Shuiqin as his concubine, but he didn't know whether he agreed or not.

"Concubinage??"

Wu Chenggong frowned upon hearing this.

It feels like the pharmacy manager is looking down on Yuan Shuiqin.

After all, she is a wife rather than a concubine. With Yuan Shuiqin's cold temperament, Wu Chenggong felt that it was impossible for her to be a concubine.

And what is the background of the nephew of the pharmacy owner? It's not serious to imitate other people's concubinage at such a young age.

The pharmacy manager didn't know what he was thinking, and confided to him secretly, "My nephew's family is also very wealthy. However, he got married young, so he can only take concubines."

"But don't underestimate concubinage. My nephew's family has a high threshold. Although he hasn't won the first prize, his future is bound to be bright. Besides, Miss Yuan is young and old. It is better to be the wife of a poor man than to be the concubine of a rich man. Save It's unbecoming to be in public all day long."

After Wu Chenggong heard what he said, he felt a little unhappy for no reason.

He felt that the pharmacy manager was looking down on Yuan Shuiqin.

Although he didn't like Yuan Shuiqin either, it was really disgusting for the shopkeeper to speak ill of people behind their backs.

So after returning, Wu Chenggong secretly went up the mountain, planning to meet the village girl Yuan Shuiqin so that he could confide the matter to her.

Early the next morning, when Shu Yan went up the mountain, he met Wu Chenggong.

When Wu Chenggong saw her coming out, he said, "Go to the mountain. I have something to tell you."

Shuyan said oh and followed him.

After the two of them went up the mountain, Wu Chenggong looked around and saw no one around, so he said, "You'd better not go to the pharmacy these days."

Shuyan said "Huh?" "Why?"

Wu Chenggong clicked his tongue and whispered, "Yesterday I went to the pharmacy to look for work, and the pharmacy manager told me that his nephew fell in love with you and said he would take you as his concubine."

Shuyanshangshen:...

"The nephew of the pharmacy owner?" Who is that?

Why doesn't she have any impression?

The system reminded, "That's the man with a dark face, darker than you."

Shuyan sighed in disgust and said, "Now that I think about it, it's just that black duck."

She just said that every time she went to the pharmacy, there was always a dark face looking at her, which was really disgusting.

It turns out that the man with the black duck face is the nephew of the shopkeeper.

Seeing how she disliked her, Wu Chenggong said deliberately, "I heard that the nephew of the pharmacy owner's family is very wealthy. You really don't want to go?"

Shuyan scolded him, "Are you sick? Taking another girl to be a concubine? Are you acting like shit?"

ill.

After saying that, he left angrily.
