The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 273 Side story (A Guang story)
Xu xiang moved his legs quickly leaving his house.
He really did not expect to listen to the crazy plans of his brother and mother. How could they be so shameless thinking of taking advantage of A Guang and being greedy.
After he helped pay off his brother's debt not the thanks they gave. They are getting more and more crazy.
Originally Xu xiang did indeed want to refuse A Guang's help. But the man continued to press and in the end he chose to accept the offer of help.
Since he had already resigned from the academy, he automatically could not work copying books for the students anymore but he could still work in the nearby bookstore as a clerk. Although the wages are not much, at least he does not have to work with feelings of anxiety every day.
Xu xiang stepped indeterminate direction. Honestly, he himself did not know where to go. But if he had to go back now, he really wouldn't. What else is a tool for her mother and sister.
In the midst of his daydream, Xu xiang suddenly heard the debate of two people.
" Why did you just say it? if you go like this, where should I find your replacement now? while we have to leave tomorrow. "
" I'm sorry, sir. But my wife needs me right now. She will soon give birth while the journey to shu takes a long time to return. "
" Huft.then you spread the announcement that we're looking for an administrator for our trade union. If you can tonight, you'll have to find him. "
The man's face turned panicked. How can he accomplish this impossible task. They must leave at dawn which will come in a few hours.
And evenings like this, how people will read the announcement while they are asleep knitting dreams.
It is difficult to find workers in a matter of hours of work that requires special skills such as writing and understanding bookkeeping. While in this age, that ability is still relatively rare. If there is, they will choose to work in a place close to the family.
Xu xiang looked at the man looking frustrated. He vaguely heard that they needed workers.
' Did I just try it? but he said about the trip to Shu. Does that mean they're merchants of shu? ' Xu xiang started to think of a crazy idea that might just change his life.
Since the Zi trade union opened the river line. Trade between governments through the river was getting crowded.
Transactions from the Kingdom of Shu became the main transaction with the most transactions. Therefore it is no wonder now that many merchants of Shu kingdom are in Jin Kingdom.
" Do you need an administrator? sorry I overheard your conversation? " Xu xiang came to interrupt.
" right. " The man Xu xiang believed to be the leader of the trade group replied.
" Is there a specific requirement to apply? Can women be your administrators too? "
The leader of the trade group caught the direction Xu xiang asked.
" You want to propose? " He asked back.
Xu xiang nodded for sure.
" What can you do? "
" I can read, write, and count. Ah, I also became a clerk in a bookstore. Not only that I also arrange the bookkeeping of the store every month. "
The leader of the group held his chin while nodding. He seemed to weigh everything Xu xiang said.
" You're pretty good. But baby you're a woman and we don't accept women. " The leader of the group refused without hesitation.
Once again, Women become debased objects. It certainly struck Xu xiang's heart. He felt that as a people who were humbled, he was challenged to prove that women can also be better than men.
So he firmly said. " sir. Were you not born of a woman's womb. But why do you look down so much on the people who gave birth to you? If you think that men are better, why don't you ask them to give birth. If you answer because it's a woman's duty then you don't answer. It is not an answer but a distraction from ignorance. "
Then Xu xiang also said. " Women can become financial experts because they arrange for household financing. Women can also be caregivers, as they painstakingly take care of their children. Women can be teachers because children know nothing. The woman you call mom is the one who teaches for the first time. Look, from these three examples alone we can see the various abilities of women. Then why are you rejecting me now just because I'm a woman? "
The leader of the group still silently looked at Xu xiang. I don't know what he's thinking right now.
But suddenly he laughed out loud to make the man who was beside him and Xu xiang soar in shock.
' What's wrong with him? is my speech funny in his opinion? ' Inner Xu xiang.
" Y-so I'm accepted sir? " Said Xu xiang in disbelief.
" Of course. Oh yeah, you better tell your family about your departure tomorrow. Because we're going back to the Jin Kingdom for a very long time. So I'll make sure again, are you serious about applying for a job here? "
" absolutely. I'm so ready. "
" good. Come back soon and don't forget to come again tomorrow. "
Xu xiang left immediately. There are a few things he needs to do tonight. So tonight, he'll be very busy.
" Sir, you seem to have forgotten something? " Ask the group's former leader's subordinates.
The group leader nodded. " I feel so too. But what did I forget? " It tries to remember.
" I remember! " Excited the former subordinate.
" sir. You haven't asked his name. But you just accepted it. Isn't that too rushed? "
The newly conscious leader of the group could only pat him on the forehead and blame his carelessness.
*********
As expected, Xu xiang's mother and brother were waiting for him. Ck. maybe the right thing is to wait for the money he brings.
Xu xiang did not speak and directly stepped towards his room.
" Xu xiang, is it true that your brother's debt was paid by your friend? " Mistress Guli couldn't bear to not ask the question that had made her mouth itch.
The steps of Xu xiang who was about to enter the room came to a halt. He turned his body and looked at the two people who became family in name but not in the true sense of it.
Xu xiang looked at Na li. " Sister, if you want to tell a story you better say it clearly. If you just say the information separately it will make you misunderstand. And look, mom thinks my friend paid for it. In fact, I owe him and am paying him money. " Xu xiang's words still seemed calm. But believe me, in his heart he was eager to thrash and scream.
Weary. That is one word that deserves to describe the current condition of his body and heart.
Na li disagreed. " Don't it mean the same thing. You pay the debt with the money. Doesn't that make no difference to what I said. " He still felt that what he said was true.
A person's thinking really depends on the quality of their brain. And it was evident from Na li. Xu xiang felt as if he was talking to a human instead.
Xu xiang let out a rough breath. He won himself over so as not to run amok.
" It's up to you what you think it is. I'mtired. " So he looked at Madam Guli. " I am paying off that debt. So, please throw away the thought that all the bastard's debts are over. And nasehati mother's favorite son, rather than busy gambling better hone his brain so as not to get blunt. "
After saying that Xu xiang immediately closed the door of the room. Na li who had just realized she was despised was already red-faced with emotion.
" Fuckin' kid. Comehere you! out out! " Snapped Na li. He even banged on the door of Xu xiang's room.
Xu xiang closed his eyes. His emotions now made his blood boil. Anyone can see smoke coming out of his head.
Just wait until the door of Xu xiang's room collapsed and he promised to beat up his bastard brother.
" Stop! are you gonna break that door. Renovation is very expensive. " Mr Guli's heart ached to see her daughter's bedroom door being knocked like that. Not for fear of his daughter hurt but he hurt if he had to spend the money they considered valuable for unimportant things such as renovations. He prefers if the money is spent on arak.
Inside the room, Xu xiang was packing his clothes. It won't bring everything. He unknowingly leaves some wishing sheets when the mother misses him. He will see the clothes he left behind.
He smiled bitterly. When aware of the actions and also the stupid hope.
" Even to the end I still wish for mother's affection. " Switched slowly.
He wiped his tears, then wrote a letter that he would hand over to A Guang.
He does not know where he lives. So he'll leave it to the academy.
' I hope when I meet again. I can completely forget it. ' His mind hopes.
