Chapter 600 Panpan Seeks Help with New Dishes (2)_1
And that man, wasn’t he the very Shen Dajun standing before her now?
Lin Yuan watched Shen Dajun’s resolute departing figure and then saw Panpan’s anxious little face turn red with urgency, knowing for sure that neither of them had known she was the woman who had come to their aid with a drawn sword that day. Thinking of Panpan’s recent mention of carrying hemp sacks to the leaking Land Temple where they lived, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for the man.
"Panpan, why don’t you let him stay here? It just so happens I need a strong man to chop firewood. However, we at Fuman Building need a lot of firewood, and there’s a lot of work to do every day. I wonder if this brother can keep up?"
Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Panpan, while clutching Shen Dajun’s sleeve tightly, nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Brother Shen is very strong. Chopping wood is a piece of cake for him, he can definitely do it! Right, Brother Shen?"
Shen Dajun looked up and saw Lin Yuan’s kind smile. Torn for a long moment, he didn’t know whether to stay or go.
"Alright, Shopkeeper Liu, take him to the backyard and don’t forget to set up a bed for him," said Lin Yuan, not waiting for his agreement. She sent Shopkeeper Liu to take Shen Dajun to the backyard. At Fuman Building, the workers all slept in common quarters; after all, they were all grown men, and there was nothing to be shy about.
Shen Dajun was taken aback and his lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something.
Panpan hurriedly pushed him towards Shopkeeper Liu, saying joyfully, "Aren’t you going to thank Boss Lin? Oh my, you must be so happy you’ve gone silly. Boss Lin, I thank you on behalf of my friend."
Lin Yuan smiled and shook her head. It was just a simple gesture of assistance and, as Panpan had insinuated, she was indeed good at judging people. Shen Dajun seemed like a down-to-earth, simple man without tricks. It was comforting to have someone like him working near her.
