Chapter 457: Deep Brotherly Love
Jiang Jun and Liu Sanwa both stubbornly held back their tears. But after hearing the two men’s struggles, Deng Wenwen could not help but cry.
She regretted not having a heart of stone - these two men were too pitiable.
Compared to Deng Wenwen, Tong Yao remained calm. Even the most heartfelt stories could not move her to tears as her own experiences in Qing City had.
Despite feeling sympathetic towards the two men, Tong Yao had to be pragmatic. She was there to hire staff, not to run a charity. She said bluntly, "Work on the mountain is tough. You two are too skinny and weak to cope."
"We can handle it, really we can. We both have a lot of strength," Jiang Jun quickly replied. "I’m even able to carry things weighing more than a hundred kilograms. I often did heavy chores around the house when I was a kid."
Liu Sanwa also quickly added, "You just need to feed us. We don’t even need wages."
Ever since they came to Kyoto nearly a year ago, they had hardly eaten a full meal. After going through so much, Jiang Jun and Liu Sanwa treated each other like the only family they had in the world. They had no other demands now except for a chance to fill their bellies and survive.
"Farm work is not as easy as you imagine. It’s rather dull to face chickens and ducks every day on the mountain," Tong Yao warned. She was worried that the pair, who were still young and had long been unemployed, would not be able to endure the hardships at the farm.
