Professional Ethics of a Concubine

As Xie Wenyuan wished, he was hit on the head again.

Xie Jin used a little more force this time, and he couldn't help but groan. This time he was temporarily obedient.

"Come on, I'll take you to the department store to buy some things. I've advanced a month's allowance and various tickets."

After Xie Jin had taught his talkative brother a lesson, he spoke happily.

It's no wonder that since entering this era, Xie Jin has increasingly appreciated the joy of earning money, no, earning a salary.

With the salary, I spend it on Lin Qingyu, myself and Erdan, and I feel a sense of satisfaction and happiness.

This feeling made him feel particularly comfortable and full of motivation to make money.

"Wow, how much is it?" Lin Qingyu asked him with a smile, "Can I live a good life of lying down and asking you for money again?"

"I only have thirty-eight yuan, and a hundred kilograms of national grain coupons, a dozen industrial coupons, a half-kilogram meat coupon, two cloth coupons, and three kilograms of sugar coupons. I specifically asked for them to buy wedding candy."

Xie Jin remembered his current financial situation very clearly, and he told Lin Qingyu about it in detail.

"The salary of a school teacher is 20 yuan a month, plus some tickets, the total is less than 60 yuan. It's too little, and it seems that you can't even lie down and relax."

Speaking of the latter part, Xie Jin frowned in dissatisfaction and couldn't help sighing again.

Oh, it’s so difficult to do anything!

"It's already a lot! What you earn this month is as much as a villager in Xiaoxi Village earns in a year."

Lin Qingyu said with a smile.

"It's no wonder that Xiaoxi Village is so poor. It's really a place where no one lives." Xie Wenyuan frowned.

"Even with my smart brain, I can't think of any way to make Xiaoxi Village rich now."

Are the members of the production team not taking good care of the crops?

There is indeed some slacking off, but there are still more members who work normally or work hard.

The main problem is that there is no fertilizer now, and we basically rely on manure. There is no pesticide, and irrigation cannot be guaranteed. A bunch of people are taking care of the crops, and we have not yet gotten rid of the farming era of relying on the weather for our livelihood. How can we increase the yield?

Doing a side job? Now it is a planned economy with unified management and marketing.

Even if there are rural cooperative economic societies, it is not easy to open one. If you don’t handle it well, you will be labeled as a capitalist, and the cadres will not be able to withstand the pressure.

"This is the limitation of the times. Let's not consider it for now. We don't have the ability to do it." Xie Jin said.

"We are no longer the helmsman of the country, so we should stop thinking about the problems of 'everyone' and just think about our own small family."

"Yeah, that's right." Lin Qingyu also smiled and reported his salary.

"After I graduated from high school, I also worked as a teacher in the commune, earning 20 yuan a month. You still make more money in our family, and you are the mainstay."

These words made Xie Jin smile so happily that he pedaled his bicycle with more energy.

Xie Wenyuan clicked his tongue twice and said, "I don't make a penny now, I'm just a freeloader. When I get to the mall later, I want to buy some new clothes."

"If you know you're just eating for free, just shut up. You're still making demands." Xie Jin patted him on the head again.

"Xie Tiedan, how come you are still addicted to taking photos! I'm telling you, if you touch me again, I'll never let you go!"

Xie Wenyuan shouted angrily.

"Okay, okay, I got it. That's enough. Don't be angry. I'll buy you an extra pair of pants later."

Xie Jin immediately tried to comfort him in a gentle manner.

Xie Wenyuan,...

Who wants pants?

Lin Qingyu couldn't help laughing as she listened to the two brothers bickering. She hugged Xie Jin's waist, moved her feet back and forth happily, and hummed a song softly.

This hot sun doesn't seem so annoying anymore.

-

Xie Jin rode his bike and, with Lin Qingyu's guidance, arrived at the only department store in the county.

"This department store looks better than the supply and marketing cooperative. It has at least two floors." Xie Wenyuan looked at the so-called building in front of him, his mouth twitching speechlessly.

He didn't go out shopping in the past few days. Although he had new clothes to wear, they were given to him directly by Lin Qingguang, not bought by him.

"It's remarkable that the county has such a department store, which shows that our county government is not particularly poor."

Lin Qingyu also wanted to knock him on the head, and explained to him in detail,

"This is also one of my second uncle's achievements. It was just built last year, and the things it sells are much more comprehensive than before. At least if you want to buy a bicycle, you don't have to go to the city to wait in line."

"Our second uncle is a good official who is a practical man, but he is not smart enough. He doesn't know that it is very important to use the power of others to his advantage in official circles. It is very wrong for him to rush to the front for everything," Xie Wenyuan commented.

"I'll give my second uncle some advice later." Xie Jin also said.

Lin Qingyu,...

As soon as Lin Qingyu thought about the fact that these two were also old-man-level emperors and princes in their previous lives, he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with what they said.

-

Once you enter a department store, you just go shopping.

The first thing is the things used for the marriage, such as wedding candies, red towels, pillowcases, bed sheets and so on.

But when Xie Jin asked about the price, he frowned. Pillowcases, bed sheets and other things were quite expensive. It was impossible for him to buy all the things for the marriage with the 38 yuan in his hand.

"Just buy some wedding candies. My mom has prepared towels, pillowcases, bed sheets, new mattresses, quilts, and everything else for me."

Lin Qingyu smiled and said, "These are all my dowry. My mother started preparing them two years ago, and she saved a little at a time. If you want to buy them all at once, even if you have enough money, you won't have enough tickets."

"Oh, it's true." Xie Jin sighed.

"Let's buy some cloth, and I'll make you two sets of the popular Zhongshan suits. You can wear them for daily wear and for weddings."

Lin Qingyu now has to be frugal in her life.

"There are also Wenyuan's clothes, bedsheets, and some necessary furniture that need to be prepared. If you can't buy them all at once, come here every month and slowly you'll have enough."

"My sister-in-law is virtuous!" Xie Wenyuan immediately gave Lin Qingyu a thumbs up.

Xie Jin nodded vigorously, and felt that this side of Lin Qingyu was quite new. When she was in Da Zhao, she had always been a wealthy person.

"Let's go upstairs and take a look." Lin Qingyu said with a smile.

Walking upstairs, Xie Wenyuan lay on the counter selling watches and immediately said, "Brother, make money and buy me a watch, I want it!"

Counter salesperson,...

Whose naughty kid is this? He knows how to ask for the best things!

"Wait a minute, save some money for a few months, this is not a necessity." Xie Jin walked over, took a look, and also liked a watch.

With a watch, it is equivalent to controlling time and knowing what time it is anytime and anywhere. He also wants to buy one, but he is short of money.

After hearing what Xie Jin said, the saleswoman couldn't help but say, "As a brother, you really dote on your children."

Such unreasonable requests can be agreed to.

"Of course. Apart from my sister-in-law, my brother loves me the most." Xie Wenyuan said immediately.

"Come on, Brother Tiedan, prove to this beautiful aunt that you can't afford a watch. Let's buy a wall clock first. Just the right model. It's marked. It's only thirty dollars."

Saleswoman,...

Xie Jin looked at the mechanical watch hanging on the wall, counted the money in his mind, and said to Xie Wenyuan, "If we buy the watch, we won't have enough money to buy the cloth."

"I have money, and our family really needs a watch. Go buy it." Lin Qingyu said.

"See? These are my elder sister-in-law and elder brother who love me so much." Xie Wenyuan said proudly, "They buy whatever I say."

Saleswoman,...

You're also strangely happy.

-

The happy Xie Wenyuan came out of the mall holding the watch with a satisfied look on his face, followed by Lin Qingyu carrying wedding candies, and Xie Jin carrying cloth and other things.

After going into the department store, not only did Xie Jingang spend all of his advance allowance, but Lin Qingyu also spent twenty yuan from her pocket.

"Shall we go back to your second uncle's house?" Xie Jin hung the cloth on the handlebars and asked Lin Qingyu and Xie Wenyuan to get on the bicycle.

"Okay, let's go back to my second uncle's house." Lin Qingyu nodded and was about to grab Xie Jin's clothes and get on the bicycle.

"Qingyu?!"

"Qingyu!"

At this moment, a surprising tenor voice came from the opposite street. It was Yu Xinghai.

When he saw Lin Qingyu, he immediately waved his arms and ran towards her happily. Xie Jin and Xie Wenyuan beside Lin Qingyu were completely ignored by Yu Xinghai.

Lin Qingyu has many brothers and sisters. Yu Xinghai thought that these two people were her brothers or sisters, so he didn't take them seriously.

Xie Jin looked up and immediately frowned.

This man is obviously his love rival. Looking at his eyes, he really has the urge to blind him.

His mistress is also something you can dream of!

"Hey, Brother Tiedan, something's wrong." Xie Wenyuan nudged Xie Jin with his elbow and said gloatingly,

"I know this person. I guess he is Brother Xinghai who grew up with my sister-in-law as a child. He likes my sister-in-law very much. It's pitiful that he doesn't even know that he has no chance now."

"Shut up!" Xie Jin said to Xie Wenyuan.

Lin Qingyu also rolled her eyes and warned Xie Wenyuan, "Don't gloat over other people's misfortunes and try to sow discord."

The Shura Field is already good enough, and with the addition of Xie Wenyuan who likes to watch the fun and make trouble, Lin Qingyu is really having a headache.

"Qingyu, you bought so many things! I just came back from school two days ago, and I was thinking of looking for you tomorrow. I ran into you today, which means we are so destined to be together!"

Yu Xinghai only had Lin Qingyu in his eyes. He looked at her and happily expressed his feelings.

"Qingyu, you are more beautiful and elegant now. After going to college in a big city, I found that none of my female classmates can compare to you, and neither can the girls in the art troupe..."

"Hey, young man, you really don't know how to be tactful." Xie Wenyuan couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.

Xie Jin's face turned livid, but he didn't say anything to him or kick him away because Lin Qingyu was patting his back soothingly.

Okay, since your love rival has helped me, I will be patient and treat you with basic etiquette, not bandit etiquette.

"Qingyu, which relative's brother is this? Why haven't I seen him before?" Yu Xinghai looked at Xie Wenyuan and said with a smile.

"He talks in a very interesting way."

"This is my fiancé's younger brother, my uncle." Lin Qingyu said with a smile.

Yu Xinghai, "???"

"Here, this is Qingyu and I's wedding candy. Take it. Don't be polite." Xie Jin immediately cooperated tacitly and grabbed a handful of wedding candy from his pocket and handed it to the confused Yu Xinghai.

Yu Xinghai, "!!!"

He did not take the wedding candy and even took two steps back with panic on his face. His brain was about to shut down because of the bad news.

He looked at Lin Qingyu, then at Xie Jin, who was wearing tattered and patched clothes and had a prisoner's hairstyle, and was totally unable to understand.

How could Lin Qingyu fall for such a second-rate guy!

They are not a good match at all!

How can this be!

"Qingyu, you, you are kidding me, right?" Yu Xinghai pulled the corners of his mouth, wanting to smile, but he couldn't laugh, and instead he was about to cry.

"I'm serious, Yu Xinghai, I've said it many times, I don't like you and I won't marry you."

Lin Qingyu also responded to his words firmly, and took Xie Jin's hand and waved it in front of him.

"I like Xie Jin and I will marry him. It's not accurate to say that he will be my son-in-law and we will live together for the rest of our lives."

"We're going to have a wedding banquet in a few days, you're welcome to come and have a drink." Xie Jin said with a smile, in such a good mood.

In his entire life, he had never heard such sincere words from Qingqing. They were so beautiful and he wanted to hear more.

Hehe, after drinking this bowl of magic soup, you will be broken into pieces.

"The young man's heart is about to break, but you are so happy that you want to fly. Can you have a little sympathy?"

Xie Wenyuan was talking to Xie Jin from the side, "Put away that lewd expression of yours, that's enough."

"...get out." Xie Jin couldn't help but hit him on the head again, "Shut up."

Yu Xinghai was indeed shattered, completely and unbelievably.

"Qingyu, why do you like him but not me?"

He didn't understand. He liked Qingyu so much. He had liked her for a very long time.

He had always believed that Qingyu would be his bride. He had even named their child and planned everything for the future.

However, she turned around and found another man.

If the man is outstanding and has a good family background, he will just accept it.

But, obviously not!

He really doesn't accept it!

"Love doesn't have so many reasons. If you love, you love." Lin Qingyu said with a stern face, saying something that made her teeth ache.

Please, stop asking her why.

Xie Jin was already bubbling with joy beside her.

He looked at the heartbroken Yu Xinghai and thought that you could ask a few more questions. He really liked to hear his sweetheart's answers.

"Okay, that's it, we're leaving first." Lin Qingyu was too lazy to argue any further, so she pulled Xie Jin, got in the car, and urged him,

"Let's go!"

Yu Xinghai looked at their backs as they left, his eyes red and he gritted his teeth.
