Chapter 167 Lam Ka-tung Comes to the Door
Hou Xiaobao pointed at Jia Liang and said, “Brother Liang asked me to spend the holiday with them. I thought the bun shop must be empty during the holidays, so I will spend the holiday in the bun shop and then go to Brother Liang’s house for a reunion dinner. Aunt Jia is very nice to us now, and she will be unhappy if I don’t go.”

Lin Chuxia nodded, as long as there was an arrangement.

Hou Xiaobao scratched his head, “Boss, I went out to do business for nothing this time. Are you disappointed in me? I have been thinking about it for a long time since I came back. Maybe my image is not good enough. I want to try again after the Chinese New Year. I will definitely visit more companies and not let you down.”

So that’s what happened.

Among those who went out this time, Hou Xiaobao was the only one who returned empty-handed.

Those days, he saw that everyone was in a state of depression, and he was too busy with the work in the yard to think about those things. He didn’t expect that she was still thinking about them.

Lin Chuxia didn’t say yes or no, but asked, “Are you not satisfied with your current salary?”

Hou Xiaobao immediately shook his head like a rattle, and his voice became louder. “Of course I am satisfied.”

All the money this month adds up to 118. Apart from Su Wensong and Jia Liang, he has the most money.

This is more than three months’ salary for an ordinary worker. What else is he dissatisfied with?
I never dreamed that I could make so much clean money.

After saying that, he realized the original intention of Lin Chuxia asking him, and said embarrassedly, “I just feel that I didn’t do the things assigned by the boss well, and I failed the boss’s trust.”

I asked him to go out and do business, but he just went around and didn’t make a single sale.

Lin Chuxia smiled slightly, “How could you not do a good job? Your efforts during this period are obvious to everyone, and they are all outstanding. You are just not good at one aspect. There are so many tasks in our company, and it is impossible for anyone to be good at everything. Even I have shortcomings. Hou Xiaobao, you don’t need to belittle yourself, and there is no need to argue about your weaknesses. After the New Year, you can still do what you are good at and do a good job in your position. You will be an excellent employee.”

“Boss, do I really not have to run anymore?”

Hou Xiaobao’s eyes lit up. To be honest, he was a little scared to do that, but since everyone else had done it, he would feel like he was letting his boss down if he didn’t do it.

“No need. There will be adjustments after the New Year. Just two people will be enough to handle the business.”

Hou Xiaobao heaved a sigh of relief, “I will definitely do what the boss asks me to do.”

At this time, Qin Lihua came over and said, “Aunt Four, someone is looking for you outside.”

Lin Chuxia patted Hou Xiaobao on the shoulder, told him to go and get busy, and went out.

The bun shop had already hung up a closing sign this afternoon, so the person who was looking for her must be someone she knew.

As soon as I went out, I saw Lam Ka Tung standing at the bottom of the stairs.

When Lin Jiadong saw Lin Chuxia, he looked her up and down twice, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

“Second sister, are you really a big boss? You look really good in this dress. No wonder the eldest sister is angry. You are prettier than her to begin with, and now you are a big boss and you dress well. She must be furious when she sees you.”

Lin Chuxia’s feelings towards Lin Jiadong are different from those of the Lin family. This younger brother is stubborn and was the same in his previous life. He was always used as a gun by the Lin family.

If he can find his way here today, he might have come with a mission.

“Why are you here?”

I invited him into the bun shop. It was still quite cold outside.

Lin Jiadong was a little hesitant before. Although he heard what his mother and sister said, he didn’t quite believe that his second sister had that ability.

Even when he came to Qin’s Baozi Shop to look for Lin Chuxia just now, he was still worried.

Now that I see people, I have no thoughts at all.

He smiled and said, “Isn’t the New Year coming up? Mom told me that you opened a shop in the city, and asked me to come over to get some cooked food for the New Year. Second sister, I see this is a bun shop, and you also sell cooked food?” Lin Chuxia saw his matter-of-fact tone, and didn’t realize that there was anything wrong with her mother asking him to come over to ask her for things, and she couldn’t help but hold her forehead.

I really want to test his IQ.

Of course, perhaps in the impression of her silly brother, she, the second sister, is the one who is taken advantage of at home.

This has certainly been the case over the past 20 years.

“Jiadong, I’m married now. If one day you get married, and your wife’s family asks you for 300 yuan as a gift, and sees that you have money, they come to you and ask for a lot of money, and want to ask for things from you again and again, what do you think?”

Lin Jiadong thought about it, his face a little serious, “Why should I marry such a spendthrift daughter-in-law? Even if I marry her, if she only cares about her parents’ family and not my own family, then there is no point in living like this…”

When he said this, he understood what Lin Chuxia meant and scratched his head embarrassedly.

“But my eldest sister said that your parents gave birth to you and raised you, and now that you are capable, it is your duty to respect your parents.”

“Is my elder sister at home?”

Lin Jiadong nodded, “I’m at home. I came back early this morning. When I came, he hadn’t left yet.”

She was just saying, why did Lam Ka-tung suddenly come to her house?

“Then the eldest sister must have given a lot of things to honor my parents. I heard that the eldest brother-in-law started a business, and the couple made a lot of money from selling vegetables.”

“I didn’t see her take anything, but she asked mom to cut some meat for her. At lunch, I saw her only picking out the meat to eat. If I hadn’t acted quickly, she wouldn’t have gotten anything to eat.”

Lin Jiadong curled his lips, looking dissatisfied.

“Mom didn’t say anything?”

Lin Jiadong is the darling of the Lin family. No matter how favored the eldest sister is, she cannot compare to this son.

“Mom told me, but my eldest sister wouldn’t listen. She said she was pregnant and had to eat good food.”

Lin Chuxia nodded, didn’t ask any more questions, and took him to get the cooked food.

“Logically, I shouldn’t give you anything. First, if I take something from my husband’s house to my mother’s house, my husband’s family will look down on me. Second, my eldest sister always goes back to her parents’ house empty-handed. If I take something from my mother’s house, wouldn’t that embarrass her? But you are growing up, you need to eat well. I remember that you like chicken the most, so take this smoked chicken back and eat it.”

Lin Jiadong swallowed his saliva as he smelled the aroma of meat, “Second sister, I also like to eat sausage and pig liver.”

Lin Chuxia also gave him a piece of pork liver and a piece of sausage, which together weighed more than one pound.

Lin Jiadong immediately laughed, “It’s still my second sister who loves me. My eldest sister has bullied me since I was a child, so it was only my second sister who protected me.”

Thinking of something, he looked around cautiously, “Brother-in-law won’t be angry if you bring these things to me, right?”

Lin Chuxia didn’t answer him, but asked, “Are you hungry? The store closed early today, and there are still some meat buns that haven’t been sold out. I’ll get you a few. You sit over there and wait.”

The little brat is eating his father out of money. Lin Jiadong is at the age where he has a big appetite. Even if he has just eaten a full meal, he can still stuff two steamed buns into his stomach.

What’s more, life was hard these days, and the Lin family could only eat pure white flour during festivals.

It’s almost time for dinner. It would have been fine if we didn’t mention meat buns, but as soon as he mentioned them, Lam Ka-tung got hungry.
