"Let's go." So everyone followed.
They also carefully protected Li Mumu in the middle to prevent anyone from bumping into her.
Following the soldiers, I saw them stop in front of the shed and arrest all the people who were receiving meals in front of the shed.
Those people were startled, "What are you doing?"
"We didn't do anything! Why are you arresting us?"
"Take them all away!"
"Miss Su! Miss Su, save us!"
Su Zhier was stunned for a moment. She knew she shouldn't speak at this time.
However, he has already established an image of compassion in the hearts of the people, and it would be inappropriate if he did not show up at this time.
Moreover, we are also afraid that those who are arrested may say something they shouldn't say due to nervousness.
Su Zhier had no choice but to stand up and asked softly, "Excuse me, what did they do wrong?"
"Their identities are unknown. We need to take them back and verify their identities one by one." said the officer.
"How come their identities are unknown?" Some confused people asked, "Aren't they wounded soldiers?"
The officer sneered, grabbed one of the soldiers' hands, and said, "If he is a wounded soldier, why doesn't he have calluses on his hands?"
"Who among you soldiers doesn't have a thick layer of calluses on your hands?" the soldier asked, "Take them all back!"
Su Zhier was startled. She didn't expect that she had overlooked such a detail.
"Girl." Li Lai quietly came to Su Zhier and called in a low voice.
"What are you going to do?" Su Zhier said in a low voice, "Can't you even think of this?"
Li Lai was overwhelmed. "Girl, it's really hard to find one. It's already difficult to find someone with a disability, and you have to find someone of the right age. Even if ordinary people have calluses on their hands, who can have the thick calluses like a soldier who has been holding a weapon for many years? I've been trying hard to find one."
"Let's talk about this later." Su Zhi'er didn't have time to talk about this now, and hurriedly found a servant and said, "Go back quickly and tell father about what's going on here. Let him make arrangements early and don't let those people tell the truth."
"Yes." The servants of the Su family hurried to the Su Mansion.
The officers and soldiers took their men away, and the person Li had found to lead the charge saw that the situation was not right and left quickly.
The rest of the people who had just been led by the rhythm and were surrounding the errand shop looked at each other in confusion.
"So, Madam Gu did a great thing."
"Of course!" Da Jiang said loudly, "Who doesn't know that it's more efficient and faster to find someone with healthy limbs to do the work? If Madam Gu really wants to make money, she can just find someone with healthy limbs to do the work instead of hiring disabled people like us!"
"She opened this errand shop to relieve the worries of the army and to give us a place to live and work. As long as the errand shop is done well, we can open more shops in the future and open them in various places in Daxi. Then the wounded soldiers returning home from all over the country will have jobs to do and can support themselves!"
"Moreover, how much money you can earn depends on how hard you work." Xiang Guicai added, "If you can run more trips a day, you can earn more. As long as you are diligent enough, you will earn more and more."
"Mrs. Gu gives us some basic wages every month, which first ensures that we have enough food to eat. The rest of the money you spend on running errands will be distributed to us. Even if we run less, at least we can have enough food to eat. But who would complain that they earn too little? Of course, they will work hard to run errands."
"This...we misunderstood Mrs. Gu." Someone said shamefully.
"Mrs. Gu is a righteous person, and she is truly a thoughtful person." Someone bowed.
"We are ashamed that you have suffered so much for Daxi and the people." Someone said, "What I can do is limited, but I can only support the business of the errand shop as much as possible."
After saying this, the man went directly to the nearest registration point.
But at this time, there was no one at the registration point and everyone was gathered together.
Xu Changyong took a look and realized that this was the registration point for him and Yu Dabin.
Xu Changyong hurriedly said to Dabin: "Dabin, hurry up, let's go back, there are guests who want to register."
"Yeah!" Yu Dabin nodded quickly.
However, he was a little slow, so Su Dazhuang pushed Yu Dabin over first.
Su Dazhuang carried Xu Changyong to sit on a chair.
As mentioned before, there was charcoal in the tent, and the guest felt warm as soon as he entered the tent.
Although it is not very hot, it is much warmer than the cold outside.
When the guest saw Su Dazhuang holding Xu Changyong and sitting down, his eyes turned red.
"What do you want us to buy for you?" Xu Changyong looked at the customer seriously.
The guest took a breath and said, "Please help me go to Shiweizhai and buy a roast duck from them. Send it to the Huang family in Anliu Lane. It's the third house on the left when you enter the lane."
Xuchang will always remember this.
He also asked the guests to sign their names.
Li Mumu said that if the guests can read, they should be asked to write down their names. If the guests are illiterate, they can just press their fingerprints.
As for these wounded soldiers, even though they were illiterate before joining the army, they learned a lot of words after joining the army.
It's not very well written, but at least I can recognize it.
"May I ask when will it be delivered?" Yu Dabin asked.
"Just send Shen Zheng over." said the guest.
After all these were recorded clearly, Xu Changyong stuffed the note into Yu Dabin's waist.
Yu Dabin went to the errand shop.
When the guest saw this, he asked, "What are you doing..."
"I lost my legs and can't move around easily, so I'm here to make records. The guy who just left is also my comrade. He lost his hands, but his legs and feet are fine. I'll be his hands and he'll be my legs. Write down what you need and give it to him. He'll take it to the errand shop, and then the guys in our shop will go buy what you need."
"Don't worry, we will make sure to deliver the roast duck on time." Xu Changyong said with a smile.
The guests saw that Xu Changyong was so disabled, but he was smiling brightly at this moment.
His eyes were bright, his face was not gloomy, and he was full of hope for the future.
The guest was also infected by Xu Changyong's smile and couldn't help laughing, "Okay."
Because he learned that these disabled guys hired by Li Mumu were all soldiers who had fought for Daxi and were seriously injured.
This matter spread like wildfire in Chong'an City, and the people of Chong'an learned the news in the streets and alleys.
Those who have some extra money at home rush to the nearby registration point to make an appointment and ask the waiter to run errands to buy things.
The noodle stall owner asked his wife, "Didn't you say yesterday that when you had some free time, you would go buy some cloth for your daughter to make new shoes?"
My daughter is growing taller and her shoes are too small for her, so I need to make her a new pair.
Although it was made bigger before, with more insoles, it can be worn for a longer time.
But it can't be made too big, so there are still times when it's too small.
"Yes." The wife nodded, "Hasn't there been no time to buy it?"
"There's a registration point across from us. I'll go and pay the registration fee and let them buy it." The boss said, "These are all Daxi's soldiers. They were defending their country in the front, and now they're disabled and have to make a living. It's harder than ours. We're now... we have more money, right?"
