Chapter 1172 Mud can’t hold up the wall
Wang Sizhu and others followed closely beside him, and Wang Sizhu even packed his bag.
Zhou Guo looked at the others only after he finished speaking.
Wang Sizhu and the peddler were both very active, each carrying a bag on their shoulders. The village chief's youngest son didn't bring anything with him, and it seemed that he had no intention of leaving. That was good, as the village needed people there as well.
The village chief kicked his youngest son, feeling very disappointed with him. He smiled and said to Zhou Guo, "Sir, there is nothing to pack for my son. He only has this one set of good clothes. Let him go with you. I will bring two more sets of clothes for him later."
The younger son was somewhat reluctant. He didn’t want to leave home, as the world outside was vast and vast. He felt that home was good enough.
Zhou Guo said: "No need for a village chief. The village just needs someone to stay, so let him stay in the village. If there is anything in the village, he can go out to run errands. It's good, and he doesn't have to leave home."
"Really? Sir? Can I stay at home?" The village chief's youngest son was overjoyed. It would be better to stay at home and work. He didn't want to go out.
The village chief was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, hating his youngest son for having no sensibility at all. He was really a hopeless case. He didn't want such a good opportunity and insisted on staying at home. What's the point of staying at home?
Even if gold is found in this deep mountain, it will be useless if it cannot be transported out.
After giving him a sidelong glance, she still tried to say, "Young Master, it's enough to have us old guys in the village. Besides, as for running errands, I still have my eldest son and grandson. They are also young and can do the job of running errands."
Seeing that his youngest son was about to get angry, Zhou Guo smiled and shook his head, "Village Chief, forget it. A forced melon is not sweet. Your son is so young and has his own ideas. Even if he stays in the village, he will achieve great things. He will definitely do something big."
The village chief was anxious and wanted to continue talking. Zhou Guo said, "Since he doesn't want to go out, you should let him stay in the village. The village needs someone. Besides, even if he goes out and follows us, I'm afraid his mind is not on the village. People who miss their families too much will not be happy if they go out."
The younger son nodded happily.
The village chief was helpless and sighed deeply. He looked at Wang Sizhu and the other two, then at his youngest son who was smiling happily. It seemed that his body suddenly hunched over. He said, "Forget it, then let him stay at home. Sir, if you have any instructions in the future, just tell us and we will definitely see to it."
Zhou Guo smiled and nodded. Since the other person didn't want to go, she couldn't force him to go. Otherwise, if she forced him to go, the other person might hate her. This deal was not worth it.
She looked at Wang Sizhu and the other man, "Have you two thought it through?"
The two men nodded.
"Have you arranged everything at home? Have you settled your wife, children, and parents?"
The two nodded again, "Don't worry, sir, we have settled everything."
With the hundred dollars Zhou Guo had given them before, the food they bought was enough for the Wang family to eat. As for the peddler's family, those who could be peddlers were originally better off than other families.
Moreover, although their going out means one less strong laborer, it also saves one person's food and one less person's bowls and chopsticks. Comparatively speaking, the burden on the family will be much less.
They also get their money back every month.
Wang Sizhu and his companions followed Zhou Guo and his group. Once they left, they would probably never come back. Even if they did, they would not stay in the village for long.
From then on, even if the sparrow flew out of its nest in the mountains, its status would be different from theirs.
No one in the village is not envious.
Everyone looked at the two people who left, and secretly set their eyes on the village chief's youngest son. They couldn't help shaking their heads and secretly cursing him as an idiot. If he couldn't even seize the opportunity to make his ancestors' graves smoke, what great things could he accomplish?
The village chief's son hated his father's favoritism. If his younger brother wasn't okay, then his son would be fine. He wasn't much older than his uncle. Why should this opportunity be given to his uncle and not his own child?
The village chief was also very disappointed with his son. He pointed at his youngest son and was so angry that he couldn't speak. For a long while, he only said, "You, you..."
He shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back. Their family just wasn't lucky enough to have this. It was probably fate!
The youngest son looked at the two people following Zhou Guo. From then on, he felt so majestic and awe-inspiring. For a moment, he felt a little regretful, but soon he found an excuse for himself. Both of them were illiterate, and even if they followed the adults, they would just be errand boys. How could they achieve anything?
It's different for him in the village. With this job, he is equivalent to an official. In the future, maybe he can not only be the village chief, but also the head of several villages. Staying with his family is better than running around outside, right?
Zhou Guo led his men away, and Dashu couldn't help but quietly ask: "Master, do you think the village chief's youngest son will regret it?"
What is the master's identity?
Following her, I have more opportunities than staying in the village. If I work well and have the ability, I will definitely have a bright future. Isn't it better than staying in a small village deep in the mountains?
Zhou Guo said: "How should I know? I don't think so. Doesn't he want to stay in the village and not leave home? This has come true. What else is he dissatisfied with?"
If you seek benevolence, you will get benevolence. Isn't that good?
Dashu looked back at Wang Sizhu and the other man who were chatting animatedly with the constable, "If these two are valued by you in the future and can do great things, just like Brother Huzi and the others, won't he regret it?"
Zhou Guo laughed, "Do you think people like your brother Huzi are everywhere? There are not many of them. I think these two can only go around in the two counties near Fengfei County. I brought them out to let them run around in the nearby counties. In the future, they will at most be responsible for the affairs of one or a few counties, and will not leave these counties."
After all, she has been a master for so many years and has met so many people that she dare not look down on anyone, but she can still tell what kind of people's abilities are.
She doesn't even have this ability and doesn't know how to employ people. With such a big business, she would have been exhausted long ago.
Will you still be as leisurely as you are now?
Besides, there is nothing wrong with the youngest son staying in the village. Once he is familiar with village affairs, it is not impossible for him to be transferred out again, right?
Dashu and Xiaoshu nodded. Yes, from the beginning the master wanted local people to be in charge of local affairs.
The group walked to the area where the horses were parked. Several constables were sitting on the ground barbecuing. When they saw Zhou Guo and his group coming out, they immediately stood up and shouted, "Sir!"
"My Lord, you are finally back. If you don't come out, we will go into the mountains to look for someone."
They didn't know why Zhou Guo was gone for several days. In the past, they would come out the next day after entering the top of the mountain. They didn't expect that he would be gone for so long this time. They were also afraid that the villagers in the mountains were blind and robbed him and detained him.
Zhou Guo looked at their meat and asked, "What kind of meat are they roasting?"
"My Lord, it's rabbit meat!"
