"What about the registration point? A person without hands and legs is sitting there, unable to move, frozen to death. She is not hiring a helper, she is trying to kill people!"
At this moment, Xu Changyong, who was at the registration point a few steps away from the Su family's shed, was sitting on a wooden cart. Although Yu Dabin had lost his hands, he used his body to support the cart and pushed him over step by step.
"Are you talking about us?" Xu Changyong said.
The onlookers hurriedly made room for them.
When Dajiang saw this, he quickly took over Yu Dabing and pushed Xu Changyong over.
"Although we are disabled, we are not completely without limbs. Why should we become freeloaders and beg for food? Since we are capable of supporting ourselves, why should we throw away our dignity and beg?" said Xu Changyong.
Dajiang snorted coldly, "Miss Su is willing to set up the shed, but we are not willing to go."
"Her tent says it provides free meals to the wounded soldiers, but we don't know those wounded soldiers who go to get the meals!" Xiang Guicai said coldly.
"They have risked their lives for Da Xi and the people. Do they really need your knowledge?" Someone said unhappily after hearing this.
"How do you think we lost our limbs?" Xiang Guicai said loudly, "We are soldiers who were seriously injured and can no longer fight on the battlefield!"
"What?" The people who came over were so shocked that their brains were stunned for a moment.
Xiang Guicai said, "All of us have fought and died on the battlefield. Some of us had our legs burned and had to be chopped off, and some of us had our arms chopped off! We can't go back to the battlefield, but we can't go back to farm either. How can we farm in this state? How can we go to the fields?"
"When we went out to look for work, no one was willing to hire us. They thought we were too slow, that our hands were weak, and that our limbs were incomplete."
"We have known for a long time that the Su family has set up a tent to give out food, but none of us went. We don't have hands or feet, but we have skin. We risked our lives for Daxi, and we don't want to beg for food!"
Xu Changyong said: "Even if I lost my legs and couldn't move, I wouldn't want to go home and lie in bed and ask someone to serve me every day, feed me, and clean my shit and piss. I am a human being, and I have dignity."
"You are Mrs. Gu opening this
What is the purpose of running an errand shop? "Yu Dabin said loudly, "She opened it specifically for us! She supports our self-esteem, and also allows us to support ourselves with our own labor, not to cause trouble to the family, and even have the opportunity to support the family in the future!"
"So you see, none of the people working in the errand shop have healthy hands and feet."
Tan Shiyi and Cheng Jifu were at the other two registration points. When they heard about the commotion here, they were also pushed over.
Their registration point is a little further away from here, and they arrived a little later than Xu Changyong and Yu Dabin.
Tan Shiyi said: "You said that the registration point is hard, we appreciate your sympathy, but so what?"
"We have marched and fought, and have experienced much more difficult times. At that registration point, we had a tent to shelter us from the wind and rain, and there was charcoal burning inside the tent. It was much more comfortable than when we were marching and fighting!" said Tan Shiyi.
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I would rather work harder and earn money myself and spend it myself than eat for free," said Yu Dabin.
"We all know the wounded soldiers in Chong'an, but we don't know any of the wounded soldiers who went to that shed to get food." Dajiang said.
"Not only do we not recognize them, they don't recognize us either." Su Dazhuang said, "When I passed by that shed just now, I saw that those people looked very unfamiliar. Although our hands and feet were injured, we have been marching for many years, and those trainings are engraved in our bones. Our body shape and reaction are still there. But those people, none of them recognized me. I went over and deliberately circled in front of them twice, but in the end no one recognized me."
"Although there are many people in the army, not everyone may know each other, but the injured are all recovering together, so they will definitely know each other." Su Dazhuang said, "But they don't know me, and I don't know them either."
"In order to avoid misunderstanding, I looked at their hands again." Su Dazhuang stretched out his hand. "We have been holding swords and bows for many years, so our fingers and palms are covered with thick calluses."
Su Dazhuang showed the calluses on his hands to everyone, "But I see that their calluses are not as thick as this one."
Da Jiang said: "Pretending to be a soldier is a serious crime. I have reported it to the general."
Xiang Guicai was surprised, "When did you say that?"
"I just sent a pigeon to the general." Dajiang said.
"The general was worried that someone might cause trouble for the shop, so he specifically told me to report to him immediately if I felt anything was wrong."
"Although no one came to cause trouble just now, I always feel that the identity of the wounded soldiers who went to the shed to get food is suspicious. Regardless of whether it is true or not, please ask the general to send someone to check. If they are really wounded soldiers, we can ask them if they are willing to find a job."
"If you really can't survive, why would you go to get food?" Dajiang said, "But if it's fake, just take it as well."
Xiang Guicai sighed and patted Dajiang's shoulder with his only hand, "Dajiang, if you were not injured, if you could stay in the army, you could also become a general..."
It's really a pity for Dajiang.
"We are not bad. Didn't Da Zhuang look at those people's hands carefully?" Da Jiang said with a smile, "It's just that there are too many talented people in the army, so we are not outstanding. But after we get out, we have more experience than ordinary people."
"Besides, it's not bad to be here." Dajiang said, "Mrs. Gu is a good judge of talents. If we work hard, we may even be able to become the manager in the future."
Li Mumu heard his words and said with a smile: "More than just a shopkeeper, as long as you have the ability, there will be no problem in being in charge of an entire region in the future."
Everyone was delighted and said, "We will definitely do a good job!"
Li Mumu looked at Xu Changyong and other people who were most seriously injured, "If you can be in charge of an area in the future, you won't need to move around so frequently, so it doesn't matter if the injury is light or serious, as long as you have the ability, you can do it."
Upon hearing this, Xu Changyong and others understood what Li Mumu meant and bowed to her in gratitude.
As long as they are capable, Li Mumu will not deny them opportunities because of their disabilities.
However, if they really don't have the ability, Li Mumu will not force them to do more important and comfortable jobs just because she sympathizes with their disability.
Everything depends on ability.
Xu Changyong and others prefer to be treated equally in this way, they don't need others' sympathy.
At this time, a group of soldiers passed by. The onlookers saw the soldiers walking past and hurried to follow them out of curiosity.
"Let's go check it out." Dajiang said, "Maybe we can check if those are really injured soldiers."
