Reborn as a Landlord-Chapter 1533 - 779: Kindness (Part 2)

"Brother, haven’t you and our father already looked into this? Then please lend a hand," said Lian Manman.

"Alright." Wu Lang nodded.

"First, let’s find Erlang a different job," said Lian Shouxin. "In the past six months, Erlang has been doing well at the oil mill. I’m thinking of finding him a lighter job."

Lian Shouxin, as an uncle, still cared for his nephew. Erlang wasn’t very sharp and hadn’t formally attended school, but he could recognize a few characters. This limited his development. However, Erlang had clear advantages; he was strong, honest, and hardworking.

To find a job that’s easy but pays well, unless being an owner, most jobs first require intelligence and quick wits. Being literate and good with numbers is even better. Given Erlang’s situation, there are some jobs he just can’t do. However, Lian Shouxin still hoped to find a better job for Erlang.

"As long as the earnings are similar, it’s okay if it’s slightly less," Lian Shouxin said. "By then, Luo Xiaoying will also be working, so there will be an additional income; we don’t need to rely solely on Erlang."

"Yes." Everyone nodded, understanding that Lian Shouxin was speaking for his own nephew.

To find a job for Luo Xiaoying, it didn’t require Lian Shouxin or Wu Lang to be personally involved. Lian Shouxin just gave the orders, and within two days, it was done.

Lian Shouxin sent word to Luo Family Village, and soon, Erlang and Luo Xiaoyan brought Luo Xiaoying along.

The job Lian Shouxin found for Erlang was as a helper at Fulai Cart Store in Jinyang County Town.

"It’s lighter than your job at the oil mill, and the pay is about the same," Lian Shouxin told Erlang.

Hearing about another, easier job with similar pay, Erlang had no objections.

"Uncle, I’ve troubled you again. Actually, I can still do the job at the oil mill; it’s not tiring." Erlang, not being good with words, knelt to kowtow to Lian Shouxin.

Lian Shouxin hurried to pull Erlang up.

"Erlang, finding you another job is not just because the oil mill is tough. Now that your uncle has some ability and can help with some matters, I hope you all live better day by day... The cart store sees people from all over coming and going. Learn more by following the shopkeeper and fellow employees... Maybe, in the future, there’ll be better opportunities."

Erlang was young and vigorous, but everyone grows old eventually. Also, in his heart, Lian Shouxin felt sorry for Erlang’s hard work. Lian Shouxin hoped Erlang could gain experience and have better opportunities in the future, without having to sell his strength.

Hidden in Lian Shouxin’s words was also a hint for Erlang that if he proved himself, Lian Shouxin would provide him with better opportunities.

Erlang was not very smart, but he understood Lian Shouxin’s meaning. Luo Xiaoyan, on the side, also heard it clearly, and kept thanking him. Finally, prodded by Luo Xiaoyan, Erlang insisted on giving Lian Shouxin a kowtow.

Lian Shouxin’s arrangement for Erlang was an unexpected joy for Luo Xiaoyan. However, her main purpose for coming today was still about Luo Xiaoying. After Erlang kowtowed to Lian Shouxin, Luo Xiaoyan looked a bit anxious, fearing that once Erlang had a good job, Lian Shouxin would no longer care about Luo Xiaoying.

"Your aunt told me you also want him to work outside and make some money," Lian Shouxin said.

Luo Xiaoyan secretly pinched Erlang from the side.

"Yes, Fourth Uncle, for this matter, we need to trouble you again... Xiaoying working outside and earning some money will lighten the family burden and make life easier in the future," Erlang quickly said.

"I am not too familiar with Xiaoying, so I don’t know what kind of work he can do. I found two jobs for him; you can choose for yourselves. One is to work as a helper at Fulai, like Erlang. Whatever they arrange, he does. The other is to be an apprentice at Deng’s Paper Craft Shop. Initially, the pay is less but he can learn a craft. Your aunt mentioned Xiaoying is skillful," Lian Shouxin said.

"Look and choose for yourselves, either one, he can start in the next few days."

Hearing there were two options, Luo Xiaoyan was overjoyed but also hesitated, unsure which one to choose.

"Fourth Uncle, both jobs seem good to us. Fourth Uncle, please help us choose one," Luo Xiaoyan said.

"I’ve explained what both jobs entail. It’s up to you to decide. Xiaoying is here too, see which one he prefers," Lian Shouxin said.

Luo Xiaoying didn’t know which option was better, either.

After their initial joy, Erlang, Luo Xiaoyan, and Luo Xiaoying became worried again. Luo Xiaoyan was so anxious that she seemed at a loss.

"How about this, Second Brother, discuss it at home and decide, then let us know tomorrow," suggested Wu Lang, seeing their dilemma. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Sounds good." Luo Xiaoyan, not realizing this was an option, sighed with relief.

"Go to the backyard and see your aunt. She’s been more anxious than me about this and has been urging me these past two days," Lian Shouxin said.

Erlang, Luo Xiaoyan, and Luo Xiaoying went towards the backyard, where Erlang and Luo Xiaoying kowtowed to Lady Zhang before leaving. Luo Xiaoyan stayed to chat with her. Shortly, Lian Manman came over from the west room.

Luo Xiaoyan had been sitting at an angle, half a seat on the brick bed edge, talking to Lady Zhang. Seeing Lian Manman enter, she quickly stood up, smiling in greeting and pretending to bow.

"She’s your younger sister, no need to stand," Lady Zhang laughed.

Lian Manman also laughed, calling Luo Xiaoyan "Second Sister-in-law," before pulling her over to sit beside Lady Zhang.
