Chapter 299 Help find a job

Shen Ru was a little worried, Xiao Wujin was too unsafe, she couldn't be Xiao Wujin's personal bodyguard!
After leaving the Governor's Mansion, she went to the site where the demolished and resettled houses were built. She looked around blankly, but she didn't have any clue.

"Shen Ru, you are Shen Ru, right?"

Someone suddenly called out Shen Ru's name, and Shen Ruxun saw a man with a dusty face.

"You are..." Shen Ru did not recognize the identity of the person in front of him for a moment.

"I am Du Chong. I was captured by people from Ganzhou on the way to exile. It was you who rescued me and another person. Do you remember?"

"Oh!" Shen Ru remembered, it was this face that she didn't match!
"You...are doing something here?"

Shen Ru looked Du Chong up and down and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, the hard labor is over, but we still have to live. My wife and I rented a house in the city, and she did some sewing work at home. I built a house by the river, and I got paid for it."

Shen Ru looked at the vicissitudes of life and the lean man in front of him, and praised: "I have to survive, and it will be better in the future."

"Well, Shen Ru, Miss Shen, what are you doing here?"

"Someone shot a cold arrow at the Governor before. Do you know anything?" Shen Ru asked.

"How do I know this kind of thing? It's probably some people who have lost their homes and are unwilling to do so!"

Du Chong scratched his head and said, "Um, Miss Shen Ru, I've also heard something about you, and I have a merciless request. I don't know if I can tell you."

They said it was a merciless invitation, so what else could they say?

Shen Ru was thinking in her heart and said politely: "If you have anything to say, please tell me first. I may not be able to do it."

"Miss Shen Ru, if you have the skills, can you provide some work for some women and children? They don't have the strength, unlike us men who can do hard work here. The previous digging of the river also hurt our vitality."

Du Chong said: "It's either free food or... some easier work, it doesn't matter if the wages are low, the main thing is to allow them to have food."

Du Chong's words were quite reasonable, so Shen Ru asked: "How many people are there and where are they? I want to meet them first."

"Then... I'll tell the foreman and I'll take you there!" Upon hearing Shen Rusong's words, Du Chong immediately said happily.

Soon, Shen Ru followed the unkempt Du Chong to a nearby dilapidated yard.

Following Du Chong's call, a woman in old but neat clothes came out and was surprised to see Shen Ru.

"Miss Shen?"

"It's me!" Shen Ru nodded.

Immediately afterwards, some women and children came out of several houses.

The older one's hair has turned gray, while the younger one is only as old as his sister.

But it is obvious that these people live a hard life, and all the women and children are sallow and thin.

In the past, they were all nobles, but now they live a life of poverty. Shen Ru looked at it and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't there a Jishantang in the government? Why don't you live there?"

"The government provided Jishantang for people to rent temporarily. We moved here when we found a place to stay."

Du Chong's wife, He, said, "Miss Shen, we also know that your relatives are there, and they want to live in your home for relief!"

"Well, my family is making trouble every day, and my family is not a charity."

Shen Ru said directly without denying it, and then looked at the reaction of this group of people when he said this.

"Miss Shen, stop standing at the door and talk. Come into the house. Although it is simple, our family rented it together." He said, "You have been a life-saving grace to my husband, but..."

"I'm not asking you to repay me." Shen Ru interrupted He's words.

"You...do you have something to offer? Is there anything you want to do?"

"Cough~" Shen Ru said this, and one of the women coughed loudly.

"My body is damaged from the hard work of digging rivers. I can't do heavy work. Miss Shen, I... don't know what else I can do!"

"Mom!" The little girl on the side immediately encouraged the woman.

"I can, I can wash and cook, I... I can do anything. Mom is exhausted because she works for me." The little girl seemed to know that Shen Ru could do the work for them, and she immediately said.

"If you are not in good health, then your family's livelihood..."

"My husband has died in exile. Zi'er and I are orphans and widowed. Thanks to the care of Du Chong and his wife, now we make a living by doing needlework for others."

"That's it!" Shen Ru looked at the mother and daughter. They couldn't do heavy work. The woman was weak and the child was small.

"Can you do calculations and write?"

"Before I got married, I took the class with my brothers at home." The woman said.

"Let's do this. You are weak and can't do heavy work. I have a place on the outskirts of the city. If you can do some paperwork, food and accommodation will be provided there. If you are willing, you and your children can go there. "

Shen Ru said slowly, as for Du Chong's wife, she can go to the cotton mat workshop, if she wants!
There was also an old man, and Shen Ru was in trouble.

"Do you know anyone over there?" the woman holding her daughter said hesitantly.

"Mr. Yu from the Pei family is the accountant over there. I think you can go and help if you can. As for your daughter, she is so young and doesn't need to do anything. The main thing is that there is grass so that she can stay away from the noise in the city and keep you healthy. helpful."

Shen Ru said, "Oh, what's your name?"

"My surname is Lin, and my husband's surname is Wang. We are distant relatives of Du Shangshu."

Du Shangshu, didn’t you say that everyone in the Du family has gone somewhere?

"Didn't the people from Du Shangshu's family go to the escort agency?" Shen Ru couldn't help but said, and she looked at Du Chong.

"I know, I... I think they have some plot. I just want to live a peaceful life with my wife." Du Chong said, "Although my surname is Du, I am not from the same lineage of the Du family, and my ancestors are not from the same lineage." She is just a foot washer from the Du family..."

Shen Ru understood. Regardless of whether it was true or false, these women looked really pitiful.

"Ms. Lin, if you are willing, go to the pasture and take the children with you." Shen Ru said looking at Ms. Lin.

"Then you don't want to live here anymore?" Mrs. Lin was a little confused. They were all people she knew!

"Go ahead, you take the kids with you. What's the benefit of living here? Your house leaks when it rains!"

Others advised Lin, "Miss Shen is a good person and has helped us before."

There are six families here, including the Du family, Du Chong and his wife, and Lin's mother and daughter. Shen Ruyi, who is taking his elderly mother-in-law with him, can't think of a place to go for a while.

"Okay, I'll go, Miss Shen. We are really not familiar with the place in Liangzhou. I need your help. We will definitely repay you in the future!"

Mrs. Lin seemed to have made up her mind and finally said firmly.

"Then...I'll pick you up tomorrow. If anyone else wants my help in finding a job, just say, I'll come back tomorrow!"

Shen Ru said goodbye to her colleague Lin, and after saying a few polite words to the others, she left!
