Chapter 138 Complain

“Look at what you said, sister-in-law. Lihua accompanied you shopping, and I allowed it. Can I still deduct her money? Lihua, just accompany your sixth aunt and have fun. You will still get your salary,” Lin Chuxia looked at her and smiled more gently.

Qin Lihua’s eyes flashed with joy. She could go out and play and get paid at the same time. Who wouldn’t want such a good thing?

Besides, she was accompanying Aunt Six to go shopping. How could she just sit there and watch Aunt Six buy clothes? Uncle Six was her father’s brother.

“Thank you, Fourth Aunt.”

“Thank you for nothing. If you want to thank someone, you should thank your Sixth Aunt for taking you out to play.”

Ma Suyun picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of porridge, mumbling, “I… have to go later, I haven’t eaten enough. Fourth sister-in-law, I see your store is also very busy, you go about your business and don’t worry about me. Lihua, go too, hurry up and don’t let me delay the store’s work.”

Lin Chuxia said, “Then I’ll get busy first. Lihua, you stay with your Sixth Aunt for a while. It’s rare for your Sixth Aunt to come to the store.”

Qin Lihua nodded with sparkling eyes, “I understand, Fourth Aunt.”

Lin Chuxia no longer cared about the two of them and went to work with Zhang Guilan.

Zhang Guilan saw that she came back alone and Qin Lihua didn’t move, “What’s going on? Lihua doesn’t come over?”

“It’s okay, just leave her there. The busyness of the store will be over soon anyway, I’ll help you with the work.”

Zhang Guilan guessed something when she heard Lin Chuxia say that. “Did Ma Suyun say something?”

“She wanted Lihua to talk to her, so I simply gave Lihua half a day off and asked her to go shopping in the city with her.”

Zhang Guilan caught the cunning in Lin Chuxia’s eyes and chuckled, “I think it’s okay. Since we have come all the way here, we should let Lihua spend some time with her Sixth Aunt.”

There were no new customers in the store at the moment, and Qin Han was collecting money and delivering buns, so he didn’t need them, Zhang Guilan and Lin Chuxia whispered.

“I don’t know what brought her here. There are some things you don’t know when you first come in. Among all the men in our Qin family, besides our second son, the most promising one is Qin Wen from my uncle’s family. I won’t talk about the second son. Qin Wen got a job as a counter worker at a hardware company. It should be good, but I don’t know when Qin Wen started to compare himself with our second son.”

Zhang Guilan may have felt that it was inappropriate to talk about this between relatives, so she explained to Lin Chuxia, “I really don’t mean to sow discord between the brothers. I just want to talk to you about it. You should know what’s going on.”

“Sister-in-law, I know. I can feel that Ma Suyun seems to have the same feeling towards me.”

“It’s more than just a little. When you and the second brother were getting engaged, Ma Suyun said a lot of sarcastic things, especially when she mentioned your eldest sister and then it was you. Logically, this shouldn’t be a big deal, and you haven’t made a decision yet. No one can pick a wife just by saying anything. But Ma Suyun made a big deal out of it. Maybe she felt that her Qin Wen could finally surpass the second brother in marriage. You don’t need to think about it to know that when you first got married, she might have been waiting to see our family make a fool of themselves.”

Lin Chuxia smiled. This kind of thing was very normal. Many brothers would compete with each other, let alone uncles and cousins.

Qin Wen is less than two years younger than Qin Yang. They originally went to school together, but Qin Yang skipped a grade, which suddenly widened the gap between them. Perhaps this caused psychological damage to Qin Wen.

Ma Suyun is Qin Wen’s wife, so she would naturally be influenced by him.

“The more she wants to laugh at us, the more we stop her from doing so.”

“Of course not,” Zhang Guilan was also smiling when she talked about this, “Before, Ma Suyun always felt that they lived the best life among the brothers, and their eldest brother was the best among the three brothers of Dad. Qin Wen is a salesman in a hardware company, and Qin Jiang’s wife is an elementary school teacher. Although we have the second brother, he works in another place, and the eldest brother has not married yet. Now that you have opened a steamed bun shop, your eldest brother and I have come to work here, which really makes our second branch proud. Even Xiao Wu and Hong Mei from my uncle’s family are better than them.” Zhang Guilan glanced at Qin Han next to her and changed the subject again, “But then again, the Qin brothers, except for Qin Wen and his wife who are a little narrow-minded, are all good. You came in late. I don’t know that when we were in the production team, it was thanks to the brothers who stuck together that we never suffered any losses in the village.”

“Sister-in-law, I know. It can be seen that the Qin family members are very loyal and righteous.”

Not to mention Qin Wen and Ma Suyun, Qin Liang, Qin Jiang and Qin Wu are all very nice people, and her sisters-in-law are also very kind to her.

The two talked for a while, and then a customer came into the store, so they went back to work. After a while, Qin Lihua also came over to help.

When Zhang Guilan saw her coming, she glanced at the dining table in the distance and saw that Ma Suyun was no longer there.

“Didn’t your fourth aunt give you a holiday? Where’s your sixth aunt?”

Qin Lihua was obviously a little disappointed. “Sixth Aunt said she had something else to do. It’s inconvenient for a child like me to follow her. She asked me to work hard in the store and not be lazy just because we are family.”

Zhang Guilan sneered in her heart, but she couldn’t show it in front of the younger generation, “Then has your Sixth Aunt paid the bill?”

When Ma Suyun came to the store, she ordered all the steamed buns, cooked food and cold dishes.

Qin Lihua shook her head. “I settled the accounts with Aunt Six, and Aunt Six said that it’s not necessary to settle the accounts so clearly among family members.”

Zhang Guilan could hardly suppress her sneer, and seeing Qin Lihua tried to hold it back but failed.

“Lihua, your Sixth Aunt is right. We can’t violate the store’s rules and regulations just because we are relatives. No matter who comes, we can’t let the visitor affect our work. It would be fine if there were no customers in the store, but there were so many people in the store just now, and you were still chatting with your Sixth Aunt, leaving the customers waiting. Isn’t that not good?”

Qin Lihua bit her lip and explained in a low voice, “I wanted to go over and help, but Aunt Six said that she had finally come here and hadn’t seen me for a long time. She wanted to talk to me, and she held me to talk, so I couldn’t leave.”

At this moment, she really blamed Ma Suyun in her heart.

She wasn’t allowed to work when she wanted to. Fourth Aunt gave her a holiday and didn’t take care of her. She also told her not to be lazy. Wasn’t it her fault that she was lazy?
Zhang Guilan saw her pitiful appearance and didn’t want to say anything harsh.

“Okay, go do your work first and be more careful next time.”

Qin Lihua nodded, “I understand, Second Aunt.”

………………

A few days later, Su Wensong found a suitable chicken farm to cooperate with, but Lin Chuxia had not received a reply from Qin Yang. She could no longer stay.

Qin Han was a little worried when he found out that she had written two letters and received no reply. Including his letter, the family had sent him three letters but he still received no reply. This had never happened before.

Even if the letters were lost, it is impossible that all three letters were lost.
