Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Xie Jin was humming a tune all the way while riding his bike. He was in a very happy mood and couldn't close his mouth at all.

"Xie Tiedan, you really should look in the mirror and see how arrogant you are. You don't have any imperial dignity at all."

Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but criticize him. He felt goosebumps all over his body when he hummed the song.

"I'm happy." Xie Jin said, turning his head and smiling at Lin Qingyu.

Lin Qingyu,...

Good, good, everyone knows how happy you are.

When they arrived at his second uncle's house, Lin Qingyu got out of the car and looked at Xie Jin's happy expression. She couldn't help but poke him with a smile.

"Okay, calm down. If my grandparents see you smiling like that, they'll start to suspect that you're out of your mind."

"The idiot son-in-law is here." Xie Wenyuan shouted from the side.

Xie Jin was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked him, but Xie Wenyuan dodged it swiftly. He even shouted,

"Grandpa, grandma, come quickly! Your grandson-in-law is bullying your grandson!"

Xie Jin, ...

Lin Qingyu,...

This really means you don't consider yourself an outsider.

"Who is it? Who bullied Erdan?" Grandpa Lin came out of the house, frowned and shouted, as if he was going to stand up for Erdan.

Grandma Lin also came out of the house soon after and immediately looked at Xie Jin. She frowned at first, then looked at him carefully and then relaxed her brows.

At first glance, he looked a bit ferocious, but after another look, he didn't seem so bad. The boy had good-looking facial features and looked energetic.

"Hello, grandpa and grandma, I'm Xie Jin. My younger brother has a very active temper and I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." Xie Jin greeted the two elderly people and said embarrassedly.

Grandpa Lin looked Xie Jin up and down, then nodded and said to him, "Come in, it's hot outside. Erdan is a good kid, we all like him, so it's no trouble."

"Oh, are you buying wedding supplies?" Grandma Lin also leaned in and asked, "Why did you bring back a wall clock?"

"There was no wall clock in the new house, so I thought about buying one and spent all of Xie Jin's monthly salary."

Lin Qingyu said with a smile,

"I also bought some cloth to make some clothes for the two brothers."

"There is an allowance now, that's good." Grandma Lin nodded with a smile.

"You can now eat commercial grain, which is better than earning work points in the production team. In the future, if you two can put your wages together, you can have 50 or 60 yuan a month and live a good life."

"Yes, don't worry grandma. I will make more money in the future and let Qingyu live a better life." Xie Jin immediately promised.

“How can you make more money? Your monthly salary is just that much, and you don’t have the final say. It’s the government that gives you the money.

You should take care of the family more and do more housework. " Grandma Lin said, giving Xie Jin more specific requirements, and emphasized,

"Qingyu has been spoiled by us since she was a child. She is not like other girls who can do everything from washing clothes and cooking to feeding chickens. In fact, she can do nothing.

What our Lin family lacks the most is boys. We just don’t want Qingyu to work at her husband’s house, so we recruited a live-in son-in-law. You have to be more diligent in doing laundry and cooking in the future.”

"Did you hear that, Xie Tiedan? You have to do more housework." Xie Wenyuan interrupted with a gloating look, "Let your sister-in-law lie down and rest."

Xie Jin glared at him, then said to Grandma Lin, "Yeah, Grandma is right. I will do more housework."

But Xie Jin was thinking, when can he make more money to hire a maid for his family, no, a nanny.

He was an emperor, well, now he is so down and out. It's better not to mention his past life. It's okay for him to be a househusband for his sweetheart.

This is not a big deal. Think about it from another perspective. Isn't housework work? If you do it well, and get praise and recognition from your beloved, you can still feel happy.

Hearing this, Lin Qingyu immediately glanced at him and said, "Can you really do this? Doing laundry and cooking, don't you feel wronged?"

"What's wrong with that? I'm taking care of you, not serving others." Xie Jin said, "If you're happy, then I'm happy too."

Lin Qingyu couldn't help laughing, "Thank you, I am so happy. Thank you Tiedan, I find that I like you more and more."

Xie Jin also grinned when he heard this. With his wife providing him with plenty of emotional value, doing some housework was really nothing.

"Oh my, you two are so sweet. Even an old woman like me feels sick of it." Grandma Lin looked at Xie Jin happily, and she liked him more and more because of his words.

However, Grandpa Lin snorted, "Even if you are a live-in son-in-law, you can't just think about taking care of women. You have to do your other work well, and it would be best if you can get a promotion."

"Grandpa is right." Xie Jin smiled and responded, "I heard from Erdan that Grandpa likes playing chess very much. I also know a little bit. Why don't I play a game with Grandpa?"

"Okay, come on, let me see how good you are at chess." Grandpa Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he was tickled and immediately said,

"Show me your true abilities. I hate being teased the most."

"Yeah." Xie Jin smiled and replied, "My chess skills are average, but I will definitely give it my all when facing a master like Grandpa."

So, the two of them started playing chess, and it was so hard to tell who would win, with so much back and forth, it seemed as if their chess skills were really similar.

The game of chess lasted for an hour, and in the end Grandpa Lin narrowly won. This made the old man feel relieved.

This kind of victory obtained after racking one's brains will make people particularly happy.

"Hahaha... Tiedan, let me tell you, your move just now..." While Grandpa Lin was packing up the chess pieces, he told Xie Jin which move he had made wrong just now.

Xie Jin also showed a look of annoyance, "That's true. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have taken that step!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking and hurry up and have lunch." Grandma Lin called them, "The food is ready, but you haven't finished yet."

"It's over, it's over. Grandma, we'll be there right away." Xie Jin responded quickly.

"After we finish our meal, we will continue playing." Grandpa Lin said with a smile.

Xie Jin agreed with a smile.

"Grandpa, we are going back this afternoon. Let him play chess with you next time we come." Lin Qingyu said.

"Stay here for two more days. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Grandpa Lin said unhappily. "It's summer vacation now. You don't have to go to work."

"We're getting married in a few days, and there are a lot of things to do at home." Lin Qingyu asked, "When are you going back? Are you going back with my second uncle and second aunt?"

"Let your parents clean our house, we will go back in two days." Grandpa Lin said.

Lin Qingyu agreed with a smile.

-

At noon, my second uncle was busy with something and did not come home for lunch, but my second aunt Zhou Hongmei came back and met Xie Jin.

Second Aunt had a good impression of Xie Jin. From what she heard, he seemed to be very knowledgeable and didn't seem like a boy from a poor family.

Zhou Hongmei felt that her niece Lin Qingyu was quite capable as she had discovered these two treasure brothers.

"Second Aunt, we met Yu Xinghai today and explained everything to him." Lin Qingyu gave her a few more instructions before leaving.

"If Yu Xinghai's mother sees you and complains about you, just say that I am the one who decides who to marry, and you can't control the child's affairs. You can't do anything about it."

"Kid, I don't need you to teach me this." Zhou Hongmei smiled. "If you want to go back in the afternoon, I will prepare something for you to take home."

"Second Aunt, no need to take it." Lin Qingyu waved her hand quickly.

Zhou Hongmei glared at her, packed up some things and asked Lin Qingyu to take them back, and said that she would let her know in advance when she chose a date for the engagement.

"Okay, let's discuss it when we get home tonight and set a date. I'll call your unit tomorrow." Lin Qingyu agreed.

Zhou Hongmei responded with a smile.

-

After dinner, Lin Qingyu, Xie Jin, Xie Wenyuan and others took a bus back home with their bags.

When they got off the bus in town, they saw Lin Qingfeng waiting there.

"Wow, third brother, you can't be a fortune teller." Xie Wenyuan raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.

He was tired and didn't want to walk home.

"Second Aunt called the team and said you guys will be back this afternoon." Lin Qingfeng said with a smile.

"I only have one bicycle. Wait a minute. The team's bullock cart is coming to town. We'll go back by cart later."

"Third brother, you take Qingyu home first. Erdan and I can walk back to Xiaoxi Village." Xie Jin said.

"It's only an hour's journey, and we can get there in no time."

"I won't!" Xie Wenyuan protested, "I won't leave by myself!"

"You can," Xie Jin said, "but without a good physique, how can you revolutionize?"

Xie Wenyuan,...

I want to kill you first.

"Okay, let's go." Xie Jin pulled him away and waved to Lin Qingyu with a smile, "See you tomorrow."

Xie Wenyuan looked like he had lost all hope in life.

Fortunately, before they had gone far, they ran into Lei Lao Hu who was driving by.

Lei Lao Hu greeted them enthusiastically, and Xie Wenyuan looked at him even more enthusiastically, "Lao Hu, take us home."

"Okay, come up. I'm not in a hurry to live anyway." Lei Lao Hu agreed immediately.

"It's so comfortable..." Xie Wenyuan got into the car and sighed, "When can I live a life where I can be picked up and dropped off by a car?"

It would be better if we could push this timeline back another ten years!

Lei Lao Hu listened to his hedonistic words and quickly said to him, "Don't say such things outside, or someone will accuse you of something."

"Of course I know. This doesn't mean I treat you as my own." Xie Wenyuan rolled his eyes. "I'm not that stupid."

"Hehe." Lei Lao Hu touched his head and laughed foolishly. He felt very honored to be treated as one of his own by Xie Wenyuan.

"Brother Xie Jin, you have been investigated so quickly. Have you accepted the task?" Lei Lao Hu asked him.

"Yes." Xie Jin said, "Thank you for recommending me and giving me this opportunity."

"Oh, you're too polite. The key is that you have the ability." Lei Lao Hu said with a smile.

The three of them chatted along the way and soon arrived at Xiaoxi Village. Xie Jin, Xie Wenyuan and others got off the car at the entrance of the village.

"Hey, Erdan, Tiedan is back! I haven't seen you for a few days. My mother-in-law's family is so nice. You didn't come back before you got married."

A villager saw them and immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Of course, I'll eat white flour buns every day." Xie Wenyuan said, "Here, my brother and sister-in-law's wedding candy, take it."

"Oh, wedding candies! Please give two more, as there are many children in the family." An aunt who was pregnant and had a very big belly said with her eyes lighting up in surprise.

"Aunt, if your family is poor, don't have so many children. The more you have, the poorer you will be. Come, take a few more and taste the sweetness yourself. Now that you are pregnant, you have to treat yourself better."

Xie Wenyuan spoke in the tone of a Family Planning Office staff member.

Auntie,...

Oh my, even the director of the Family Planning Office doesn’t speak as pleasantly as you!

Xie Jin, ...

Aren't your approaches too diverse? Do you want to explore the family planning field?

"Erdan, I've never eaten such delicious candy. You really love me." The pregnant aunt peeled a candy and put it in her mouth, smiling.

"..."Xie Wenyuan.

Don't say this to the old man, it sounds weird and may lead to misunderstanding.

Oh, now he's a little kid, that's no problem.

The two of them walked home, throwing candies all the way. The children in the village heard the news and came running, excitedly surrounding them to ask for candies.

Before we even got to the doorstep, half of the wedding candy had already been distributed.

"Alas, the candy is gone, and I haven't distributed enough." Xie Wenyuan sighed, "In these poor days, I can't even pretend to be cool."

Xie Jin: "...You're almost there."

-

On the other side, Lin Qingyu and his third brother also returned to the village and met Li Dafu, a second-rate guy in the village.

Li Dafu is an absolute street stalker. He does no work, earns no work points, and does not cultivate his family's private plots. He just wanders around the streets every day.

Half a year ago, he was arrested for reselling his own rolled welding cigarettes on the black market and was sent to a farm for forced labor.

He was only released within the past two days. The reason he was able to get out so quickly was because his family members used their connections to get him out, gave him all kinds of gifts, and emptied out the family’s savings.

Who made Li Dafu the only child in the family? He has six older sisters and he is the only boy, so he is definitely the lifeblood of the family.

As a result, he was spoiled by his parents and has no moral values ​​at all.

"Oh, Qingyu is back. We haven't seen each other for half a year. Qingyu has become more handsome. I heard that you have found a live-in son-in-law. Why don't you find me? I am also happy to be your live-in son-in-law."

Li Dafu looked at Lin Qingyu and said with a sly smile.

"Li Dafu, are you looking for a beating?" Lin Qingfeng immediately stopped his bicycle and pointed at him angrily.

"If I hear you say something like that again, I'll break your legs."

"You can't even joke around." Li Dafu sneered and turned away.

Lin Qingyu looked at Li Dafu's back and frowned. Every time Li Dafu saw her, he would say a few greasy words to tease her.

He was beaten by several of her brothers, but he still didn't change.

Could this Li Dafu be the one who harmed her?
