After considering Zhao Dabao as a candidate, Wang Xiaoqiang visited the Zhao family. The house consisted of three tiled rooms and a kitchen, all of which appeared low and rundown. The family of four usually crammed themselves into these three spaces. As the children grew older, squeezing together was not a solution, but due to lack of money, they had not been able to build a new house.
When Wang Xiaoqiang arrived at the Zhao family's home, Zhao Dabao and his wife happened to be there. After Wang Xiaoqiang explained his purpose, Zhao Dabao, although mute, was not deaf.
Upon hearing that Wang Xiaoqiang wanted to recruit him as a worker for the chicken farm, Zhao Dabao was very excited and nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice. Zhao Dabao's wife, Li Jinye, was also very happy. Being very straightforward, she directly asked Wang Xiaoqiang how much he was willing to pay. Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "How much does Uncle Zhao earn per day as a laborer in the construction crew?"
