After settling in Zheng Fa, another person arrived two days later. By the end of June, five of Dingzi and Li Zhi's old comrades had come, which was more than any of them had expected.
They had originally thought that having three people come would be a great outcome. Although the pay and conditions here were good, it was, after all, very far away. The trip back and forth was inconvenient, and moving here would likely mean relocating their entire family. No one wanted to leave their hometown, and no one wanted to abandon their parents. The tradition was to raise sons to care for you in your old age. Unless things were truly desperate, what parent would be willing to let their son leave home?
But since these men had the courage to come, the family would naturally make sure they were well taken care of and treated right.
