Seeing that Gu Lejia looked reasonably sturdy, and needing extra hands for a batch of goods, Chen Dagui nodded in agreement.
Unfortunately, since his family had headed north and eventually traveled by water, Gu Lejia had become completely separated from them.
"Haven't you heard about the refugee resettlement?" Jin Qianqian asked.
Gu Lejia hesitated. "I've heard all about it, but what good would it do to go back? I hear the drought there still hasn't been resolved. Going back would only be a dead end."
It was for this exact reason that when Gu Lejia heard refugees would be sent back to their hometowns, he gritted his teeth and decided to follow Boss Chen south. Although he didn't have his household registration with him now, life under Boss Chen's protection was countless times better than before.
Even though he now knew his family had found a nearby village to settle in, he didn't regret his decision. Before leaving home, he hadn't known the outside world was so vast.
