My Loyal and Lovely Husband

Since Jin Weiwei is reluctant to pay for the doctor, and the magic herb also loses its efficacy, her foot injury doesn’t recover for several days, and she has to limp to work.

Butcher Feng’s shop is closed and her shop has just been expanded. The business of her meat shop increases more than twice as much as usual. Jin Weiwei and Little Rich are busy from morning to evening.

It’s not good to go on like this, so Jin Weiwei thinks a lot about their situation. It seems that it’s time to recruit people to help in the shop.

On an early morning one day, Jin Weiwei comes to her shop early and posts a notice of recruitment in the most prominent position at the door.

Recruitment

Due to the expansion of the store, now we need to recruit a worker. The requirements are as follows: male, young, strong, hard-working, honest and high in working efficiency. The salary will be paid monthly and lunch is free of charge.

Jin’s Meat Shop

“The salary is high! It’s good if they provide a meal! ”

“Working in the meat shop will not be too difficult. What I should do is only kill pigs, kill sheep and sell meat. I can do this. Go and sign up.”

There is a lot of discussion among people, and many of them immediately express their intention to apply.

Finding so many people sign up enthusiastically, Jin Weiwei thinks that she would find a satisfactory helper as soon as possible. However, although there are many applicants, after a whole day, Jin Weiwei does not find a satisfactory one.

“What’s happened? No appropriate person? ” Little Rich looks at Jin Weiwei, who is sitting beside her, frowning.

“Isn’t it? There isn’t a suitable one. ” Jin Weiwei turns over the application form and complains (In our book, Jin Weiwei is not supposed to write, therefore, we suppose those application forms are written by Little Rich.)

“This one is called Li Cow. He looks very strong, but stupid. He can’t understand most of my words. It’s hard to communicate with him. So, he is passed.”

The second one is Zhou Quan, who used to help butcher Feng for a while. Although his name is Zhou Quan, he is not thorough in his work. He often forgets to collect money or gives more money back when he helps at butcher Feng’s shop. She will not employ a person who is dismissed by butcher Feng. So, this one is also passed.

As for the other applicants, they either can’t do this or can’t do that. Some of them complain of the smell of mutton, and others can’t endure the pig shit. They just want to work less and earn more. Therefore, they all fail.

Jin Weiwei closes her eyes and rubs her temples. She thought it would be easy to find a helper. Now she knows that an honest, reliable and satisfactory employer is hard to find.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Isn’t there another one?” Says little Rich in a whisper.

Another one? Jin Weiwei follows the eyes of Little Rich and notices a thin and weak young man standing under the willow tree opposite their meat shop. He is secretly looking here.

Jin Weiwei stands up and waves to him: “Hello, are you here to apply for a job?”

When the boy hears Jin Weiwei’s calling, he hesitats for a moment, and then runs to the door and whispers, “I want to try.”

Jin Weiwei looks up and down at the young man, and finds that he is even shorter than her. The boy is thin and small, but his eyes are dark and bright, and he looks like a smart man.

“Do you know how hard it is to work in a meat shop?” Jin Weiwei is a little worried about whether his small body can do heavy work.

“I’m not afraid. I’m hard-working.” The boy clenches his fist and waves, showing his determination.

“Can you kill pigs and sheep? Do you have any experiences before? ”

“No, I don’t have, but I can learn it! I can learn very quickly. ”

As expected, he is a smart boy. Jin Weiwei is satisfied with his answer. She just wants to find such a man who is not afraid of hardship and willing to learn. However, he looks so young, and his body seems to be too weak.

“Sister, if you employ me, I can cut my salary in half, as long as you can provide me free meals every day.”

It sounds great. When she hears the young man’s proposal of halving his salary, Jin Weiwei’s eyes are shining, and she immediately plans in her heart. If he is willing to reduce his salary by half, she can save a lot of money. How much can a person eat? He looks thin and small, no more than three bowls of rice he can eat for a meal. Thus, she will benefit a lot if she employs him.

Jin Weiwei looks at him carefully again, and suddenly feels that he seems familiar to her. It seems that she has seen him somewhere.

“What’s your name?” asks Jin Weiwei. (if he is a villager of our village, I must have seen him before).”

“Sister, don’t you remember me?” “I’m Xiaoqing!” the boy grins sheepishly

“Xiaoqing?”

Well, the name is a little familiar, but Jin Weiwei can’t remember it for a while.

“Tao Xiaoqing, my father is Tao Dayong, and my mother is Chen.” The boy lowers his head with his face red after explaining.

“It’s you!” Jing Weiwei exclaims, and remembers all.

Tao Xiaoqing is the son of Chen who eloped with her irresponsible father.

Tao Xiaoqing’s father used to be a famous carpenter in Xingtian village. He was hardworking with good workmanship. So, in this village, everyone came to invite him for carpentry work.

Their family was originally rich and happy. But good times don’t last long. Tao Dayong was invited by a rich family in the county to build a house. He thought he had a good deal, but an accident happened. When he was putting the beam on the house, the rope suddenly broke, and the beam fell down, and it just hit Tao Dayong’s forehead. Finally, he died.

Fortunately, this rich family is of benevolent conscience. Tao died unexpectedly while building their new house, they not only paid the salary, but also paid a lot of money to help his widow Chen and his only son Tao Xiaoqing.

Originally, with this money, Chen would be able to raise Tao Xiaoqing to adulthood. However, people always change when they have money. When a young widow meets a romantic man, just as Chen meets Jin Dabao, Jin Weiwei’s father, they will fall in love. The two went together.

Jin Dabao was already fed up with Cao, and was too lazy to take care of his meat shop. All the expenses at home were far beyond their ability to afford, so he urged Chen to elope with him and try to escape the mess at home.

Chen lost her husband at such a young age, so she was not willing to be a widow. With the seduction of Jin Dabao, Chen was fascinated by his blandishments and left her family and son. She took all the valuable things in family, and eloped with Jin Dabao.
