The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 960

Soon, John had someone arrange the chairs outside the workers’ quarters for everyone to sit down. Then, Sophia caringly asked them whether they were happy and used to the job. In response, the workers nodded and replied, “We have a stable job here, unlike our hometown, where we had to stay home during the winter.

Besides, we make a lot more with our current job. Apart from that, there is nothing much we can spend on other than a few bottles of beer since the rules around here have made our lifestyle more disciplined and frugal. Furthermore, we’re given gifts during every festive season, which we think is a lot better than working in our hometown.”

Upon hearing their feedback, Sophia heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, Buddy said, “There are a few ladies from my village who are asking whether there are any more vacancies left by chance. If there are, they’d like to come over.”

Unable to decide, Sophia shifted her gaze to John, who answered, “Well, the kitchen could use some extra hands, so perhaps you could bring this matter to your supervisor’s attention. If he says yes, that’s your green light to bring your people here.”

Buddy happily smiled and said, “Wow! Sophia, you’re really our lucky star! Our life wouldn’t be so much better if it weren’t for you.”

Feeling touched, Sophia answered, “It’s the least I could do to repay everyone’s kindness.”

Back then, the villagers would help out when they saw Sophia and her grandfather busy handling their crops. Because of that, their kindness had since etched in their minds in the years to come. Meanwhile, Buddy gazed at Sophia and said, “I heard your dad returned to the village after all of us left. I was even told that he wants to sell the house.”
