The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again

The crowd was silent for a moment, and everyone looked in the direction of Yuan Ruru's finger, only to see Cheng Laoer and his group straightening their clothes with red faces. The clothes, which were originally full of patches, were torn into tatters and stretched to the limit after such a commotion.

"Brother Cheng, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Cheng Lao Er cleared his throat uncomfortably.

"It's okay. Thank you, Steward Yuan, for rescuing me."

When people saw that the ragged and dishevelled young man was actually the boss, they all made way for him.

Wei Batian, the sturdy man standing next to Cheng Laoer, had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Oh my god, that guy is really the boss. Doesn’t that mean he has offended the boss? It’s all over. He’s eliminated before it even starts.

He beat his chest and stamped his feet, wailing in his heart, wishing he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

With the people making way for them, Cheng Laoer and his companions finally stood beside the county magistrate.

"Everyone, don't push, don't push, everyone has a chance, line up, line up according to your type of work!"

The crowd was pushing and shoving, in a disorderly manner, like a headless fly.

"Wei Batian! Where is Wei Batian?"

Outside the crowd, the big guy Wei Batian, who was looking down and about to go home, suddenly heard someone calling his name.

He looked back blankly, only to find Cheng Lao Er in front of the crowd jumping and calling out to him loudly.

"Hey! Here, here!"

It was as if the sky, which was raining heavily, suddenly cleared up. Wei Batian was surprised and happy, and hurriedly waved loudly in response.

"Wei Batian, where are you going? Come to the front! Everyone, stop crowding, make way, let Wei Batian come first!"

Many people in the crowd also knew Wei Batian. Seeing that he was favored by his boss, although they envied his good luck, they could only silently make way for him. When Wei Batian passed by them, they all asked them to help say a few good words for him.

Wei Batian had never experienced such a highlight moment before, and he was so nervous that he walked with his hands and feet trembling.

"Boss, what do you want to talk to me about?"

He stood at the bottom of the stairs, looked up at Cheng Lao Er, his heart was in turmoil, and he swallowed nervously. He was afraid that he had just offended his boss, and now they were looking for him to settle the score.

"Mr. Wei, where are you going with such a listless look on your face? What's wrong? Are you not going to work hard for your dream of becoming the richest man?"

Seeing how terrified he was, Cheng Lao Er teased him mischievously.

Wei Batian blushed and stammered, "Master, please don't laugh at me. I was blind and ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and said nonsense. Please be magnanimous and just treat it as a fart that accidentally hit you. Don't bother with me."

The people on and off the stage were confused after hearing what he said. They didn't know how this big guy had offended his boss.

"Hey...! Young man, don't underestimate yourself. Believe that you can do it, especially if you follow Mr. Cheng. I firmly believe that everyone's life will get better and better, and our Pingyang County will get better and better!"

The county magistrate learned the whole story from Yan Xin and stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Yes, Wei Batian, I believe you will become the richest man in the future. Now let me ask you, what kind of job do you want to do?"

Cheng Lao Er took over the conversation and asked.

"I don't have any skills, I can only do odd jobs, but I'm very strong, I can carry 500 kilograms at a time."

"Okay, then you come up and stand here."

Cheng Laoer pointed to a place next to him and said to him.

At this time, Yan Xin took out some hemp paper from the county government office, gave a piece of paper with the word "odd job" written on it to Wei Batian, and asked him to hold it high.

Cheng Laoer called out a few more people from Chengjia Village and asked them to stand separately holding papers with names of other jobs written on them.

"Fellow villagers, do you see these people? They represent bricklayers, carpenters, handymen, stonemasons, etc. Everyone, find your corresponding type of work and line up. No one is allowed to cut in line. Anyone who disrupts the line will be rejected."

As the words fell, the chaotic crowd gradually became orderly.

Cheng Laoer and others also began to act as interviewers in an orderly manner.

Seeing that the situation was under control, the county magistrate ordered the bailiffs to assist Cheng Lao Er in maintaining order, while he took the housekeeper back to the county government to handle government affairs.

Some were happy and some were crying. Those who passed the interview were overjoyed, while those who were not hired were unhappy and secretly sad.

No one dared to cause trouble. Firstly, they knew they did not meet the requirements. Secondly, there were dozens of yamen runners standing around the crowd, watching their opponents eagerly. Anyone who dared to cause trouble in front of the county government office would do so without hesitation.

Cheng Laoer, who was concentrating on asking questions to the interviewer, did not notice that several men in the carpentry team were looking at him excitedly and eagerly. If he looked up, he would find that these people were none other than his wife's relatives whom she missed day and night, his father-in-law, Old Man Wang, and his three uncles.

Until they lined up in front of Cheng Laoer.

"What's your name? How many years have you been a carpenter?"

Cheng Lao Er lowered his head and wrote down the information of the person in front of him on a piece of paper, and asked without raising his head.

"Zeyi!"

A familiar voice sounded, and Cheng Laoer looked up in disbelief. When he saw his father-in-law standing in front of him, his eyes instantly turned red and the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a click.

He stared at Old Man Wang, and was speechless for a moment. Then, he knelt down in front of Old Man Wang, crying like a child.

"Dad! Dad! Where have you been these days? Yingniang misses you so much that she hides in bed and cries."

As he spoke, his throat felt stiff and tears started to fall.

Old man Wang also had tears streaming down his face. He and his sons helped him stand up, patted his shoulders gently, and let their tears soak his clothes.

Those who meet again after a long separation will eventually meet again. Those who are not destined to meet again will never meet again in life or death.

Old Man Wang and his companions were informed in advance by Boss Cheng about the impending flood, so they packed up their valuables and fled to a small county town in the neighboring Qianzhou County with their families.

Although life was hard as they had to sleep in the open and endure hunger, they were still quite content compared to those who died in the flood.

The only regret was that Mrs. Wang, Cheng Laoer's mother-in-law, who was already in poor health, fell ill due to long-term displacement and fear, and did not survive.

They just returned to Pingyang County a few days ago. Because of the epidemic before, Pingyang County was blocked and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

When I came back this time, I realized that in less than half a year, many people would never be seen again.

When Cheng Laoer heard the sad news of his mother-in-law's passing, he burst into tears. The thought that he would never see that kind old woman who treated him like her own son again made him feel heartbroken.

Old Man Wang and his companions had already come out of their grief, but seeing Old Man Cheng crying uncontrollably, their eyes couldn't help but turn red.

After a long time, Cheng Laoer finally calmed down with the comfort of several people.

"So do you have a place to live now?"

"Yes, we live in the shanty town. By the way, the Liu family also lives there."

"The Liu family? But they are my sister-in-law's family?"

Cheng Laoer was both surprised and delighted.

"Quick, take me to find them. My eldest brother didn't come today. If he heard the news, he would be so happy that he would go crazy."

“They are not at home today, and I don’t know where they heard that someone was collecting tea oil seeds. They have been picking tea oil seeds in the mountains these days.

Even your sister-in-law and her family took their children to the mountains to pick the fruits. If we hadn’t heard that there were job openings here, we would have come here to try our luck and we would have been in the mountains too. Fortunately, we are here so that we can be together.”

"We are also harvesting tea oil seeds. My eldest brother is in charge of harvesting them. He will be here tomorrow."
