At Goudan's insistent request, that very afternoon, the family packed up and rode their bicycles in a grand procession to deliver the eager Goudan to the farm, where he would become the youngest laborer.
Of course, Shen Yunfang, as a legitimate business owner, would not employ child labor. Before Goudan had left to work, his household registration had already been altered at home; he was now registered as an eighteen-year-old young man.
Upon arriving at the farm, Shen Yunfang went straight to Zhang Chunwang and handed Goudan over to him, stating outwardly that although he was a relative, everything had to be done according to the rules and regulations, and violations would be met with dismissal and so on. However, in private, she had indeed instructed that Goudan be given a relatively lighter workload. After all, the child was really only sixteen, and doing such heavy work at such a young age was bad for his health.
