Chapter 966: Introducing a Job
He knew that Zhuoyue also graduated from high school, and apart from messing up with Cheng Li, he was quite decent both as a person and in doing things.
Now, with Jiang Xue’s company just starting, they’re in need of people. If Zhuoyue could go to help, it would be great.
Moreover, Zhuoyue going out to work would also mean making money, which would lessen Uncle Zhuo’s burden. The two families were neighbors, and Uncle Zhuo had helped them a lot before.
So, Mu Qiancheng looked at Zhuoyue and asked, "Zhuoyue, you’re not young anymore, do you have any plans?"
"What plans can I have? Just getting by. But, my dad wants me to get married soon." At this, Zhuoyue felt a bit annoyed. Although he had already sobered up and no longer fancied Cheng Li, he didn’t want to marry so soon, being only twenty-two.
Mind you, Mu Qiancheng got married at twenty-eight. Back then, everyone joked about Mu Qiancheng being an old cow eating young grass. But look now, how well the couple gets along?
On the contrary, those who married early often end up quarreling and fighting. He didn’t want to live like that, so he thought getting married at twenty-five would be about right. Not too early, not too late.
However, marriage requires money, and he didn’t have a job. He couldn’t possibly ask his parents for money when the time comes. This is why he didn’t want to listen to Uncle Zhuo and go for blind dates.
Currently, besides farming, he’s pretty much idle and couldn’t earn much. If he got married, his parents would have to pay.
But he knew the situation at home, they hadn’t saved any money, they would definitely need to borrow and end up in debt.
"What do you think? Would you rather listen to your dad and find someone to marry now, or do you want to go out and earn some money?" Mu Qiancheng sat down on a stone beside Zhuoyue and asked seriously.
If Zhuoyue wanted to get married, he wouldn’t say much. But if he wanted to earn money, he would give him a hand.
"Brother Cheng, do you even need to ask? I’m still so young, I don’t want to get married so soon; of course, I want to make money. Unfortunately, I have no way. Someone went south before, and I wanted to go along. But my dad didn’t agree, afraid I’d be deceived."
Zhuoyue felt a belly full of grievances when he mentioned this. How could he be deceived at his age? But his parents wouldn’t allow it, so he could only watch others go south to make money.
"What if I introduce a job to you, would you be willing?" Mu Qiancheng asked with a smile. It’s evident that Zhuoyue genuinely wanted to make money.
Indeed, even though rural areas have long been divided into individual plots, how many families actually have good conditions? Previously, everyone stayed at home, mostly scraping a living from the fields.
In recent years, some people have gone out to earn money. But many still dare not go because they’ve never been out before and are afraid of being deceived on top of the long journey.
"Really? That’s fantastic!" Zhuoyue got excited. Since he was a child, he admired Mu Qiancheng and often followed him around until he went to join the army, and they spent less time together. He had complete trust in Mu Qiancheng. If he introduced a job to him, it would be the best thing.
"Of course it’s true, but it’s a bit far, in South City. I don’t know if you’d dare to go on your own?" Mu Qiancheng asked with some concern.
After all, Zhuoyue had never traveled far. South City is neither too far nor too close. To those at home, it’s considered a very distant place.
Moreover, if Zhuoyue had to go alone, he was worried that Zhuoyue wouldn’t dare.
