Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Xie Wenyuan and Xie Jin each chose a watch, but when it came time to pay they found that although they had enough money, they did not have enough industrial tickets, so they could not buy it!

However, the saleswoman asked them very considerately in a low voice, "I have an industrial ticket here, do you want one?"

"Big sister, you can do it! You have a great business sense!" Xie Wenyuan also lowered his voice and gave her a thumbs up, "How do you say we should change it?"

"Give me two dollars and I'll make up for the industrial tickets you're short of." The saleswoman said in a low voice.

"Sister, you're asking for too much." Lin Qingyu frowned.

"I'll go back and ask my second uncle and my eldest brother. They must have industrial tickets. Let's buy one first and come back to buy the second one."

"Sister, you can't slaughter a fat sheep like this." Xie Wenyuan also said, "If you make people angry, they will report you, and your job will be over."

The saleswoman turned pale and tried to defend herself by saying, "Other people do the same thing. Okay, if you think it's too expensive, just don't change it."

Upon hearing this, Xie Wenyuan was convinced. This elder sister's attitude was really tough.

However, if they didn't change it, there was no need to report her, so they planned to buy one watch first and then buy another one when they found the industrial ticket.

However, at this moment, the manager of the department store happened to be passing by and his eyes lit up when he saw Xie Wenyuan.

"Hey, little prodigy! Hello, are you looking for a watch?"

Xie Wenyuan looked at the other party and nodded, "Yes, you are the leader here?"

"I'm the manager here." Manager Wang said with a smile, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, we want to buy two watches, but we are short of two industrial tickets. I want to ask if I can waive the tickets by relying on my face as a little prodigy."

Xie Wenyuan asked seriously.

Manager Wang couldn't help laughing when he heard that. "Hahaha, sure, sure. You are our little prodigy in Jiacheng County, our pride. You have the honor of being exempted from two industrial tickets."

"That's not bad." Xie Wenyuan nodded with satisfaction.

"If I ever have the chance to meet a senior leader, I will definitely praise Manager Wang for his smart work, strong sense of collective honor, and flexibility."

Manager Wang was even happier when he heard this, and said with an even happier smile,

"Haha, our little prodigy speaks so sweetly. His smart head is amazing."

Manager Wang then said to the saleswoman, "Just give them the invoice. You don't need the industrial invoice. Remember I'm here."

The salesperson agreed and looked at Xie Wenyuan with some surprise.

This person is actually the little prodigy.

No wonder he is so smart!

Spoken like a little adult.

-

Xie Jin and Xie Wenyuan each bought a watch as they wished and wore it on their wrists directly.

"You, the little prodigy, have a lot of face. You can even get an industrial ticket for free." Xie Jin said with a smile after leaving the watch counter.

"After a while, someone will give you a free watch."

"Who would give it to me? We are all poor." Xie Wenyuan curled his lips. It was good enough to be exempted from two industrial tickets.

"It's already very good. It's an unexpected surprise anyway." Lin Qingyu said with a smile, "Let's go buy some delicious food."

They arrived at the first floor where side dishes were sold, and Xie Wenyuan asked Hu Zi what he wanted to eat.

"Three honey knives." said Hu Zi.

"Okay, let's buy three pieces of honey that are so sweet that they will kill you." Xie Wenyuan said immediately.

"What do you want to eat?" Xie Jin asked Lin Qingyu.

"There's nothing I particularly want to eat." Lin Qingyu looked at the items on the shelf and shook his head. There was nothing he was interested in, mainly because the tastes were all very average.

It’s also because she has lived too many good days and eaten too many good things.

"Then buy some caozi cakes and take them back to give to the children. The grandparents can also eat them," said Xie Jin.

Lin Qingyu smiled and said okay.

When they left the department store, Lin Qingyu looked at the boxes of delicious food in Xie Jin's hands and said with a smile,

"With your thorough approach, your promotion to a regular employee is just around the corner. I'll get it done for you after the New Year when the weather gets a little warmer."

Xie Jin looked at her in surprise. He became her official wife so quickly and went from being her fiancé to her husband.

However, my father-in-law seems to want to wait until the summer vacation to do it.

"Do my parents mean the same thing?" Xie Jin asked.

"They are all very satisfied with you, so of course they have no objection." Lin Qingyu said with a smile, "My dad is now afraid that his good son-in-law will run away again. I guess he is more anxious to hold the wedding banquet than I am."

When Xie Jin heard this, he felt happy.

Thinking about how his father-in-law usually looked down on him, he felt that his wife was deliberately trying to coax him.

However, even if you coax him, he will be happy!

-

In the blink of an eye, it’s the New Year.

This was also the first New Year that Xie Jin and Xie Wenyuan spent here. Although they were poor, they still felt the festive atmosphere.

Especially when pasting Spring Festival couplets, Xie Jin showed off his calligraphy again, which made Grandpa Lin hit him hard on the back twice and shouted,

"Oh my goodness! That's amazing! Tiedan, your handwriting is so good! Come on, write a few more pieces of calligraphy. I'll take them to the county town and show them off to them."

When Xie Jin saw that his grandfather was happy, he thought, what else is there to say? Just write it!

Lin Xuejun looked at the words written by Xie Jin. Although he didn't say anything, he was also very impressed. However, he also had other little thoughts.

So, he quietly pulled his daughter Lin Qingyu aside and asked in a low voice,

"Girl, are you sure Tiedan isn't possessed by a demon? Oh, and there's also our Erdan. These two know so much, they're really going to become demons."

Lin Qingyu smiled when she heard this, and said to Lin Xuejun with a smile,

"Dad, don't worry, they are really smart. Xie Tiedan has been secretly practicing calligraphy for half a year. He said he would surprise you all during the Chinese New Year and open your eyes.

I also practiced secretly with him. Now I will write two words for you. Can you take a look?"

Lin Xuejun looked skeptical and asked Lin Qingyu to write for him so that he could see what she could come up with.

"My daughter, your calligraphy is really good!" Lin Xuejun was also surprised after reading it. He looked at his daughter, then at Tiedan, and finally said,

"I'll find someone to calculate a good date soon. After the New Year, we'll hold the wedding banquet and you two can get the marriage certificate."

"...Dad, look at how worthless you are, selling your daughter." Lin Qingyu said immediately.

"What nonsense!" Lin Xuejun patted her cotton jacket with all his strength, "Dad has tied him up for you so he can't run away."

"...Thank you so much." Lin Qingyu said while holding back a smile.

"If he dares to run away next time, Dad will break his legs for you." Lin Xuejun added fiercely.

Lin Qingyu gave her father a thumbs up.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, the local tradition is to visit the graves and burn paper for the ancestors.

Xie Jin, Xie Wenyuan and others also returned to Xiaoxi Village to burn paper for Tiedan and Erdan at their parents' graves.

When we arrived, we ran into Uncle Xie and others who were also there to burn paper.

"Tiedan, Erdan, you are here." Uncle Xie called out hurriedly, with a flattering and cautious look on his face, and he did not forget to atone for his sins.

"Look at your parents' graves. I have cleared all the grass. I really regret coming here every day to burn paper and cry. I hope my second brother and his wife can live well in the afterlife, with enough clothes and food to eat, and even a car to ride."

"People are dead, what's the point of this?" Xie Wenyuan rolled his eyes.

"I buried you in the ground and was so considerate not to kill you. I also found someone to burn paper and incense for you every day and confess and cry in front of you. Are you happy?"

Thank you, Uncle San,...

Erdan, don’t say that. Uncle San was really wrong. Uncle San was really scared!

Look at what you said, it's not something a normal person would say.

"Erdan, Third Uncle was wrong! You can't do this, it's against the law. You are now a child prodigy known to everyone, don't think that Third Uncle is unworthy just because he made a mistake!"

Xie Wenyuan,...

This bastard is actually a bastard who knows he is a bastard.

Xie Jin also looked at Uncle Xie in silence. Seeing that he was still addicted to acting, he raised his foot and kicked him, saying to him,

"Okay, stop coming here and howling every day. My parents can't rest in peace even if they hear it every day. They may get so annoyed that the coffin lid won't hold them down anymore and they'll come out to settle the score with you."

Thank you, Uncle San,...

Oh my god, it’s so scary!

He ran, he ran, he ran and ran quickly.

Xie Wenyuan and Xie Jin looked at Uncle Xie running away and shook their heads speechlessly again.

Then the two of them walked to their parents' grave, burned paper and whispered a few words to express their gratitude and the purpose of their visit.

Not only did they burn their parents' money, they also chanted the names of Erdan and Tiedan, hoping that their souls would rest in peace.

After burning the paper, they both felt like they had put a worry to rest and seemed to feel a little more relaxed.

"Tiedan, Erdan, come back and burn some paper!"

When the villagers saw them, they greeted them warmly.

Xie Wenyuan and Xie Jin also called out to uncles, aunts and grandmothers, saying auspicious words for the New Year.

"Tiedan, do you want to go and see the rabbits raised in the village? They have given birth to quite a few rabbits, which is very good." The team leader saw Xie Jin and said to him with a smile.

"Okay." Xie Jin replied with a smile, and went to see the rabbits with Xie Wenyuan.

These rabbits have become treasures of the village because they can bring income to the village.

The villagers took good care of them and asked the veterinarian from the animal husbandry station to check on them every once in a while, for fear that they would get sick and die again.

Xie Jin entered the greenhouse built for the rabbits. In fact, he had tried his best to clean up the feces and other things, but it still smelled bad.

"When spring comes, I'll go up the mountain again to see if there are any wild rabbits and catch some back." Xie Jin said.

"With more rabbits, the rabbit fur can be sold in larger quantities, and the villagers' lives should be better."

"Yes, it's all thanks to you two brothers." The captain said gratefully, "Come back again on the second day of the Chinese New Year, and our village will hold a banquet for you to thank you very much."

"Are you going back to your parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year?" Xie Wenyuan said to Xie Jin with a smile.

"Xie Tiedan, you can't forget your roots just because you become a live-in son-in-law. You have to come back on the second day of the Chinese New Year."

Xie Jin, ...

Get out!

The leader of the production team listened to the whole thing and finally said with a smile,

"Tiedan, if you don't want to be a live-in son-in-law, I'll help you solve this problem. With your two brothers' abilities, being a live-in son-in-law is really unfair to you. If you want to marry and have children normally, you can marry any girl."

Xie Jin, "…I don't feel wronged, I just like the clear rain."

"Captain, don't say that outside. If my brother's father-in-law hears you and finds out you're trying to steal his good son-in-law, he'll definitely come to your house to cause trouble."

Xie Wenyuan smiled and said, "My brother is very popular now."

"Your father-in-law doesn't know how good you are. That's how blind he is." The captain said immediately.

"Tiedan, if you are wronged, we in Xiaoxi Village will support you, so don't endure it."

Xie Jin, ...

do not talk!

Besides, he felt that his gender had changed after his soul traveled through time and space, and he was no longer a man.

"Brother Tiedan, you are so outstanding! For a live-in son-in-law to achieve this, you have someone to support you in your 'maternal family' and you are quite popular in your father-in-law's family. You are unique."

Xie Wenyuan was still fanning the flames, and upon hearing that, Xie Jin slapped him hard on the head.

There was no point in continuing the conversation that day, so Xie Jin quickly told the captain that he was leaving.

However, when they left, they also took a little rabbit with them and took it back to give to the children at home to raise as an amusement.

-

After the Chinese New Year, because more people visited relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, everyone gathered together to chat about gossip, and Xie Wenyuan's reputation as a child prodigy spread further.

So, soon someone came to him and invited Xie Wenyuan to attend a performance to celebrate the Lantern Festival, and even asked him if he could sing, recite poetry or have some other talents.

"I know all the six arts of a gentleman." Xie Wenyuan said, "If you have a guqin, I can play a piece for you."

The staff who came over were surprised when they heard this, but they immediately said they would just play the song.

In special times, this kind of ancient music is sometimes inappropriate, and I wonder what label it will be attached to.

"Then it's up to you." Xie Wenyuan didn't care about the performance.

The staff member was very happy and said to Xie Jin,

"We are going to perform in the city, so we want to ask the little prodigy to go with us and leave home for a few days. We will send him back after the performance."

Xie Jin didn't say anything, he was just thinking whether he should go with Qingyu to play for a few days.

"Don't worry, we will take good care of him." The staff member was afraid that he would worry, "If you are worried, you can also go with us."

"Well, let's go together. This kid is making a fuss and I'm afraid you can't control him." Xie Jin said immediately.

I couldn't waste the opportunity to take a free ride on a long journey, so of course I went with it.

These days, it’s very troublesome to go out on your own.

Just like that, they happily went to the city to participate in the performance, but when they came back, only Xie Jin and Lin Qingyu were there.

"Where is Erdan? Why didn't he come back with us?" Wang Lan asked.

"He was sold to a wealthy family as a child foster child." Xie Jin said.

Wang Lan,...

What the hell!
