The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Hu Pingfan is really quite rich now. Last time he discovered the black stone deposit in Jinan, Miss Su gave him a reward of three thousand taels of silver.

If Brother Yuan asks him for money, he will definitely lend it to him.

But he knew that Brother Yuan valued his reputation and would never borrow money from him.

Instead of giving a man a fish, teach a man to fish. He decided to work for Miss Su with Brother Yuan, which would not only bring a better life to Brother Yuan's family, but also help Miss Su.

Although Brother Yuan is old, he is very experienced in fighting the enemy.

In the future, if the emperor returns Qinghe County to Miss Su, Brother Yuan can help fight against the King of Huainan.

He had to try his best to persuade Brother Yuan.

"Brother Yuan, let me tell you, do you know about the story of the Western Xia Imperial Preceptor buying peaches for 11,000 taels of silver? Miss Su gave me one of those peaches for free. It's a pity you're late, otherwise I would have let you have a taste."

Brother Yuan was even more surprised; Brother Hu had really made it big!

If you could resell ten thousand taels of peaches, you'd never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of your life.

Brother Hu donated his entire life savings to Miss Su without batting an eye; he was incredibly wise and farsighted.

Why didn't he have the foresight of Brother Hu back then?

If he had donated his life savings to Miss Su back then, perhaps he could be working for her now, just like Brother Hu.

"Brother Hu, I really envy you."

"Brother Yuan, if you want to work for Miss Su, I'll ask around for you."

Brother Yuan quickly waved his hand, saying that he was over fifty years old and too old for anyone to hire, so it was better not to trouble Hu Pingfan.

"Brother Yuan, let me tell you, our employer doesn't look at age when hiring, only ability."

Upon hearing this, Brother Yuan felt a glimmer of hope.

I never expected that an employer would not care about the age of their employees.

"Alright, Brother Hu, I'll trouble you to ask for me, but please don't let it affect you."

After a while, Hu Pingfan saw Miss Su come from the backyard to the front hall, so he quickly went up to her, pointed in the direction of Brother Yuan, and told her about Brother Yuan's situation.

Su Qianqian immediately agreed, "Okay, let him come and help tomorrow."

Retired veterans are not like ordinary people; they have experienced brutal wars and faced life and death, and their perspectives are extraordinary.

Moreover, they are meticulous, have a strong team spirit, are highly efficient, and disciplined.

Therefore, before the time travel, many large companies gave priority to veterans when hiring.

Hu Pingfan gave two bags of rice candy and two sets of waiter's clothes to Brother Yuan.

Brother Yuan quickly declined, saying, "I've already given you two bags of rice candy; I can't accept any more."

"Brother, take this quickly. It's from Miss Su. She said it's called a new employee welcome gift. Every new employee at Gu's Tea House gets one. It's a pity you're late. If you had come a couple of days earlier, you could have gotten the peaches."

Brother Yuan took his things and returned to his home in the slums in the south of the city.

Apart from wooden tables, chairs, and beds, the Yuan family had no other furniture; their home was very simple.

But the house was very clean.

The things Brother Yuan brought home made his eighteen-year-old daughter, Xiao Yan, and his twelve-year-old son, Xiao Hu, extremely happy.

Xiao Hu quickly grabbed a piece of rice candy and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xiao Yan took the new clothes to the inner room, changed into them, and came out with a smile as bright as a flower.

"Dad, thank you."

Looking at her pretty daughter, Yuan's wife, Wang, exclaimed, "No wonder the clothes from Guose Tianxiang are so expensive. She really looks extraordinary in them. Our Xiaoyan looks absolutely stunning in this dress!"

Wang noticed that Brother Yuan had brought back four bags of rice candy and couldn't help but complain that Brother Yuan didn't know how to manage money.

"You know we're broke, so why are you being so extravagant?"

Brother Yuan explained, "It didn't cost any money. Two packets were a gift from an old friend, and the other two were a gift from the owner of Gu's Teahouse. I'm going to work as a waiter at Gu's tomorrow."

Wang couldn't believe it; her husband, Old Yuan, was over fifty years old and wouldn't even want the worst shop in the capital.

"Old Yuan, you're not trying to trick me, are you?"

Brother Yuan showed Wang the two sets of waiter uniforms. The two characters "Gu Ji" were embroidered in gold on the uniforms and were very clear.

"Miss Su is no ordinary person; she doesn't fuss over trivial matters when it comes to employing people."

Wang was overjoyed and deeply grateful to the young lady Su.

Her husband, Lao Yuan, finally doesn't have to be a street vendor anymore. Street vendors have it so tough, exposed to the wind, sun, and rain, working hard but not earning any money.

"That's wonderful! My neighbor, Sister Lanhua, is doing well at Gu's restaurant. Her son and daughter are both very popular and have many suitors. Our Xiaoyan is already an eighteen-year-old spinster. Now that you're working at Gu's, she'll be able to get married soon."

"I heard from Sister Lanhua that even the Prime Minister's wife works as a shop assistant at Gu's restaurant."

Wang immediately went out to visit neighbors and spread the word that Lao Yuan was working as a shop assistant at Gu's restaurant, hoping to find a good family for her daughter Xiao Yan.

That evening, Chen Xiucai's mother came to the Yuan family.

In fact, Xiao Yan and Chen's son were betrothed since childhood, but after Chen's son passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, Chen's family looked down on Xiao Yan.

They kept Xiao Yan waiting until she was eighteen, which is considered old maidhood in Daqi.

Fearing gossip, the Chen family did not take the initiative to annul the engagement, hoping that Xiao Yan would become impatient and force the Yuan family to cancel the engagement.

Therefore, Wang disliked Chen Xiucai's mother, Song.

Surprisingly, Song brought two packets of jujube paste cakes with her this time.

"Xiao Yan's mother, I heard that your husband, Lao Yuan, has hit the jackpot and got a job as a shop assistant at Gu's restaurant. It's time to put our two families' marriage on the agenda."

Wang finally understood that Chen Xiucai's mother had heard that Lao Yuan was working at Gu's company, so she wanted to try to reconnect with the Yuan family through marriage.

But now her daughter has no trouble getting married. With a father who works as a shop assistant at Gu's restaurant, it wouldn't be difficult for her to find a scholar who has passed the imperial examinations.

Wang threw the jujube paste cakes that Song had brought outside the gate.

"The marriage between Xiaoyan and Chen Xiucai is off. From now on, the Chen family should never come to our Yuan family again. You have wasted several years of my Xiaoyan's life. You are a whole family of black-hearted bastards and heartless dogs. Get out, get the hell away from me."

Song left in a dejected manner.

Many matchmakers came to the Yuan family after hearing that Xiao Yan had broken off her engagement.

Noble families used official matchmakers for marriage proposals, while ordinary matchmakers preferred families with members who had hired help.

These kinds of people are especially sought after.

The matchmakers provided information on many suitable men. Because Xiaoyan's father worked as a shop assistant at Gu's restaurant, the matchmakers recommended good families to Xiaoyan.

Some families ran businesses, and there were also a large number of scholars and officials who had passed the imperial examinations.

Wang chose a scholar from a good family who had passed the imperial examinations, and planned to secretly inquire about his character. If there were no problems, she would arrange a marriage for her daughter as soon as possible.

That evening, after the matchmakers left, Wang knelt down in the courtyard facing the moon.

"Thank you, Miss Su. I wish you a long and healthy life."

Thanks to Miss Su's discerning eye, she hired her husband, Old Yuan, as a shop assistant at Gu's restaurant, which led to a good outcome for her daughter's marriage.
