Chapter 816: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 816: Lu Guanshi Found You an Easy Job
The County Magistrate was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter. "No wonder Lord Qi values you so much. It truly is more comfortable talking with you."
Shu Yu felt embarrassed. She had spoken the truth.
The County Magistrate waved his hand. "Alright, let me ask Wang Changdong about this."
Wang Changdong didn't know that his long-awaited wish was about to come true. The wasteland was a bit far from the estate, and he didn't want to keep the County Magistrate waiting for long. He quickly brought out his donkey and rushed towards the wasteland.
After sweating profusely, he finally saw Xu Dali who was carrying a load in the field.
Wang Changdong got off the donkey, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and waved at him. "Xu Dali, come here for a moment."
The people working in the wasteland turned their heads to look. Xu Dali stumbled when he heard his name, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, Lin shi, who was quick-eyed, caught him and supported the basket on the ground.
Someone whispered, "What's happening? Why did master Wang personally come to find Xu Dali? It must be related to those important people who came to the estate."
"I remember Xu Dali's father used to work for some noble. Could something have happened, causing him more trouble?"
"Ah, it's a pity. The Xu family has been exiled for so long, and they were about to recover and have a better life."
The discussions nearby naturally reached the ears of Xu Dali and Lin shi.
Lin shi's face turned pale, and her voice trembled slightly as she grabbed Xu Dali's hand. "No, could something really have happened?"
"Don't worry, I'll go and take a look."
However, Wang Changdong couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that Xu Dali hadn't come over yet, he went straight to them on the edge of the field.
"I wondered why you two were dawdling. Hurry up and come with me. The magistrate is still waiting."
Xu Dali took a deep breath, held Lin shi's hand, glanced at the worried Xu Zhensheng standing next to him, and asked Wang Changdong, "Master Wang, did something happen?"
Wang Changdong laughed. "It's good news. Your luck has come."
Xu Dali was stunned and somewhat bewildered. "Good news?"
"Of course. Miss Lu, the estate steward, has found you an easier job. But you have to come back with me and perform well in front of the County Magistrate . Otherwise, the job won't be given to you."
The matter hadn't been finalized, so Wang Changdong couldn't say it outright. He just waved his hand. "Alright, hurry up. Stop dawdling."
Xu Dali hesitated for a moment. He hadn't misheard earlier, right? Master Wang said that Miss Lu found him an easy job?
He exchanged a glance with Lin shi and didn't care about anything else. They quickly stood up and climbed onto the edge of the field.
Wang Changdong looked at Lin shi and Xu Zhensheng, then at the curious onlookers nearby. He hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand. "Bring your wife and child as well. Let's work for half a day today."
Xu Dali thanked him gratefully and quickly helped his wife and child up.
The family of three hurriedly followed Wang Changdong towards the estate.
The other people in the wasteland looked at each other, itching with curiosity.
Some people even looked towards the Shu family at an inappropriate time. After all, Wang Changdong had said that Miss Lu had helped find a good job.
