Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Even More Worrisome

"So, you guys have been looking for jobs for so many days and haven’t found any?"

In the Bun Shop, Lin Chuxia asked after hearing what Jia Liang had to say.

Jia Liang scratched his Bald head, "Sort of. You know how it is, jobs are hard to find. So many of the youths who have returned to the countryside still can’t get settled, and we don’t even dare to dream about a government bowl of rice. Private businesses don’t have that many vacancies either. Houzi’s a bit better off, but with my looks, people shoo me away the moment they see me."

What he didn’t mention was that they had indeed found a job not long ago, but within a couple of days, their boss, as wary of them as one would be of a thief, found some excuse to fire them.

Someone had recognized them and secretly informed the boss. Since then, it became even harder for them to find work. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Today they were just wandering the streets and when they heard that a sizable Bun Shop had opened in the area, they thought they’d try their luck. To their surprise, the owner of the Bun Shop was Lin Chuxia.

While the two were talking, Houzi came back.

Seeing Lin Chuxia, where was the attitude he had when facing Sixth just now? He first smiled politely at Lin Chuxia, and then said to Jia Liang, "I got it all clear. Sixth did have someone summon him over; it’s the sesame cake shop right diagonally across from us. They’re somewhat related to one of Sixth’s underlings. They wanted to bring some guys over to scare Boss Lin and mess with their business, hoping it wouldn’t be able to open at all."

There were quite a few people running their own businesses on this street, and Lin Chuxia was also aware of that sesame cake shop.

She initially thought that the food factory’s deli was their biggest competitor, but unexpectedly, a sesame cake shop which didn’t exactly compete with their business, was trying to cause trouble.

But that’s not quite right, it couldn’t be said to be completely unrelated.

With the opening of their Bun Shop, surely some of the people from this street who come for breakfast would choose them, which indeed would impact the sesame cake shop.

Lin Chuxia didn’t care about this matter anymore and turned to Jia Liang and Houzi instead, "Would you two be willing to work with me?"

Jia Liang and Houzi were both stunned. They looked at each other, still somewhat uncertain, "Do you really want us to work here? You know what we used to do."

Lin Chuxia nodded, "I know. Since you guys are willing to take my advice and turn over a new leaf, I’m also willing to give you a helping hand and provide you with a job opportunity."

Jia Liang smiled, "We brothers have never done this work, so don’t be mad at us if we’re slow and clumsy."

"Eating is one bite at a time, work is done one step at a time. As long as you’re willing, I believe there is nothing you can’t do."

"Alright, then we’ll work with Boss Lin."

Jia Liang hammered out the decision, and Houzi was a bit excited.

They had a job now, a proper one.

"You’re called Jia Liang, and you’re called Hou..."

"Hou Xiaobao," Houzi added, "Boss, you can call me Houzi or Xiaobao, either is fine."

Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh and called over Su Wensong, "Brother Su, these two are our new staff members, Jia Liang and Hou Xiaobao. Starting today, they’ll follow you. You see what sort of work fits them, and assign some tasks so they can get the hang of things."

Su Wensong had recognized Hou Xiaobao from outside just now. It had been him and Lin Chuxia who had chased this kid down.

Seeing Jia Liang’s attitude towards those people, he also guessed the origins of the two.

He didn’t know why the boss wanted to keep these two to work in the shop, but he didn’t ask further, just took the two away with a single response.
