Chapter 174: Not interested

“Sister-in-law, what you said is not right,” Ma Suyun said, “Now that everyone in Lihua is working and earning a salary, how can we find someone to farm?”

“But……”

Qian Chuncao wondered how long she could keep selling buns, as it wasn’t a stable job.

Now Qin Lihua is a girl at home, and she can also earn a salary by selling buns in the bun shop. But when she gets married, gets pregnant and has children, her in-laws will never let her go to work?

What’s more, how could the city people look down upon a man who sells buns as an individual business owner?

Who among them has Qin Juan’s luck?

Zhang Guilan thought of a candidate who was a family member, so she proposed him immediately.

“How about I help you find one? I think Su Wensong from our steamed bun shop is a good candidate. Although he is a little older, he looks energetic and doesn’t look that old. Most importantly, he is very capable…”

“Come on, sister-in-law, are you sure you didn’t push Lihua onto the kang? The man you mentioned must be quite a bit older than my brother, right? Lihua is your niece.”

Before Zhang Guilan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ma Suyun.

After hearing what she said, Zhang Guilan looked a little uncomfortable.

Su Wensong is indeed quite old, but she really thinks he is a nice person who seems to be caring.

He has outstanding abilities and his younger brother and sister-in-law value him, so he will definitely have a good future.

There is only one grandmother in the family, and Grandma Su is a very nice person.

If Lihua marries him, she will definitely enjoy a good life.

Qian Chuncao didn’t know the people in the bun shop, but when she heard Zhang Guilan wanted to introduce a colleague to her daughter, she was quite interested.

Listening to Ma Suyun’s words, he didn’t know who was right, and couldn’t help but look at Lin Chuxia.

Lin Chuxia felt that Qin Lihua was not worthy of Su Wensong, but no one could say for sure about matters of the heart. Both of them were single, so she had no objection if Zhang Guilan really wanted to match them up.

But when Ma Suyun said this, she was not very happy.

He just said, “Lihua knows Su Wensong. Do you have any opinion?”

Everyone looked at Qin Lihua again.

Qin Lihua didn’t know what to say for a moment. Thinking of Su Wensong’s strict temper, she frowned slightly, “I… I don’t know either. I have always regarded Manager Su as my uncle.”

Well, that’s why I didn’t like it.

Zhang Guilan smiled awkwardly. At this time, Qin Jiang and Xu Yun came over with their son Qin Jianye and also changed the subject.

Qin Jiang walked into the room and sat down next to Qin Yang.

After Qin Jiang got married, he moved out and lived on his own. Their courtyard was the farthest from the Qin family’s old house, and also from Qin Yang’s home.

The two brothers only met when Qin Yang came back this time.

Seeing that Qin Yang’s arm was no longer in a sling, he also showed concern for his injury. Knowing that he was fine, he asked his son to go over and wrestle Qin Yang’s arm.

Of course, Qin Yang won without any suspense.

When Xiao Zhuangzhuang saw that his cousin was arm wrestling with his uncle, he also clamored to arm wrestle with Qin Yang.

Niu Niu was cheering on the side, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became very lively.

Qin Wen looked at everyone surrounding Qin Yang. He also worked outside and rarely interacted with these brothers. But at this moment, he didn’t even say a word.

When Qin Yang was not here just now, Qin Wu also pulled him aside and asked him all kinds of questions.

As the fourth brother, he still loves to steal the limelight as always.

Seeing Qin Han on the side, his voice deliberately raised two notches.

“Brother, I heard that your bun shop is doing very well. I work at the counter at a hardware company, and I often hear my colleagues going to your shop to buy buns. I want to go and try some.”

Qin Han said with a smile, “It’s really not my bun shop, that’s your fourth sister-in-law’s. But if you want to eat, go and try it when you have time. I’m in the shop every day.”

Qin Wen immediately said, “Second brother, what you said is true. You and Fourth Brother are brothers. Fourth Sister-in-law’s store is your store. Is it necessary to distinguish it so clearly? I heard that Fourth Sister-in-law is too busy to handle several stores.”

This time Qin Han just smiled and didn’t explain anything.

Brothers should settle accounts openly. Qin Wen’s words were obviously intended to sow discord between them.

He was not good at talking, and he knew that no matter what he said, Qin Wen would have something to say to him, so he simply didn’t say anything. He knew what kind of person his sister-in-law was, so he didn’t have to worry about her thinking too much.

Seeing that Qin Han stopped talking, Qin Wen looked at Qin Wu again.

He smiled and bared his big white teeth, looking heartless, “Fifth brother, if you and Fifth Sister-in-law go to work in Fourth Sister-in-law’s shop, your salary will definitely not be as much as Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, right?”

Qin Wu said frankly, “It’s not as much as my second brother. My second brother is the store manager and is in charge of the store. My job is much easier than my second brother’s.”

“Why, is Fourth Sister-in-law worried about you being in charge? Doesn’t she have two stores? I think we are brothers, so how great is it, one store for each brother?”

There was a flash of displeasure in Qin Wu’s eyes, but no one would show it on New Year’s Day.

Still smiling, he said, “I don’t have the ability of my second brother. My fourth sister-in-law asked me to take charge, which is pushing me too far. Please forgive me. It’s good now. I stand at the window and sell things. It’s almost the same as your job.”

“You want to compete with me? My company is a hardware company…”

“Don’t hardware companies also sell things at the counter?” Qin Wu’s wife Zhou Hongmei had long been fed up with Qin Wen’s words.

Her husband took into consideration their brotherly friendship and could not turn against her.

It’s okay for her to say a few words as her sister-in-law.

As a result, Ma Suyun didn’t like what she said.

“Selling things is different from selling things. My Qin Wen’s salary has just increased. It’s now 40 yuan a month. How much money can you make from selling buns?”

“What a coincidence. I also make 40 a month. My fourth sister-in-law said that I did a good job and gave me a bonus. There are also holiday benefits. Qin Wu went on a business trip before the New Year to attract business, and he also got a commission…”

Although it wasn’t nice to say that, Zhou Hongmei didn’t like to hear her say that the bun shop was not good.

“You’re bragging! Why would a bun shop go out of business?” Ma Suyun didn’t believe it at all.

But she could believe it or not, no one explained it to her, and Zhou Hongmei was too lazy to answer her.

Anyway, they know it well as they work in Fourth Sister-in-law’s Baozi Shop.

Apart from Qin Wen and his wife, the only people present were Qin Jiang and his wife. No one else worked for Fourth Sister-in-law, so they were different from them.

Everyone talked for a while, and then everyone gathered and started to visit the villages to wish a happy new year.

The Qin family is a wealthy family in Qinjia Village. As long as there are elders in any family of the clan, they will visit them.

This tour took most of the day. I went home for lunch at noon, and then visited a few more stores that were farther away in the afternoon.

As they were a little distant from them, several daughters-in-law of my uncle’s family did not go in the afternoon. However, Lin Chuxia was almost there in her first year of marriage.

Zhang Guilan and Zhou Hongmei also followed along in the walk to accompany the new sister-in-law.

Without any outsiders around, Zhou Hongmei was still thinking about what happened in the morning.

“I used to think that Qin Wen’s wife was a little arrogant, but now she is becoming more and more…” She found it difficult to describe. “Fortunately, she and I are just uncles and sisters-in-law,” so we don’t have to interact too much, and we don’t have any vested interests.

Zhang Guilan also nodded, “We know she’s like this, so it’s fine as long as we can get by on the surface.”

Lin Chuxia knew that this was a reminder to her. In fact, Ma Suyun and Qin Wen were mainly targeting her and Qin Yang. She smiled to show that she understood.

At this time, Ma Suyun was still in Qin Liang’s yard. Qian Chuncao was cleaning the house, and she pulled Qin Lihua aside.

“Aunt Six, what do you want to talk to me about?” Qin Lihua saw that she was mysterious and looked around with her.

Ma Suyun lowered her voice a bit, “Tell Aunt Six the truth, how much do your second uncle and your fifth uncle make in a month at the steamed bun shop?”

This matter had been weighing on her mind for a long time. She originally thought that most of the work they did for Lin Chuxia was in vain.

They are all relatives, so can we still pay them salaries in a targeted manner?

But seeing Zhou Hongmei’s smug look made her feel uneasy.

Qin Lihua didn’t think much about it. After all, Ma Suyun was her aunt, and was even closer to her than her second uncle and fifth uncle. Besides, she didn’t think there was anything she couldn’t discuss about the salary.

“We work in the store, and our basic salary is 40. My second uncle is the store manager, so he should get 20 more than us…”

“Basic salary 40? And anything else?” Ma Suyun almost broke her voice.

Her husband’s salary was only increased to 40 yuan recently. She had originally wanted to sit together and brag during the holidays, but she didn’t expect that Qin Lihua, a little girl, could only earn 40 yuan?
“It wasn’t that much when I first got there. It increased last month. If you do a good job, you’ll get a bonus. I got a 10 yuan bonus this month. Aunt Si treats her employees very well.”

Qin Lihua and the employees in the store were very satisfied with this, and no one said anything bad about Lin Chuxia.
