Chapter 161 Lou Xiao'e, a Saleswoman in the Goods Building
After the banquet, everyone went home. A few guests stayed and helped to clean up the dishes.
The meat dishes had been eaten up, with only a few vegetables left.
The first, second and third aunts, as well as Jia Zhang, all joined in the cleaning work, moving tables, collecting chairs and stools, washing dishes, etc., and naturally took the opportunity to pack up the leftovers and take them home.
If there are no leftover meat dishes, they will choose those with richer seasoning sauces.
Huaiyu also wanted to help with the cleaning work, but considering the baby in her belly, her body was not able to adapt.
It was not until nearly eleven o'clock in the evening that Lin Xiangdong and his wife were able to close the door and go to sleep.
Before going to bed, Lou Xiao'e began to calculate how much gifts they had received.
Although the amount of the gift money is comparable, it is still far less than the expenses.
For Lou Xiao'e, this is just a small amount of money, not to mention that she is the only daughter of her father and all his assets will eventually belong to her in the future.
When she had sorted out the numbers, Lin Xiangdong also washed up and went to bed. They were too tired today and had no mood for any entertainment.
After a silent night, the alarm clock at home woke Lin Xiangdong up.
Lou Xiao'e woke up early that morning, and breakfast was ready when Lin Xiangdong got up.
At this time, he still felt a heavy head from drinking some alcoholic beverages the night before.
After getting up and getting dressed, don't forget to record your work.
Two loan documents were obtained from the system, one from Li Huaide and the other from He Daqing.
According to the preset content of the system, Lin Xiangdong's father, Lin Jianguo, was originally an employee of the steel mill. He responded to the national policy and went to the battlefield, becoming a hero and eventually sacrificing his life for the country. Based on this fate, he became a hero's son and daughter, and his father's experience of serving the steel mill, so the company offered him a position.
The company also provided relief funds. However, due to urgent needs, Li Huaide used part of the relief funds provided by the company to Lin Xiangdong, with a total value of 327 yuan.
On the other hand, He Daqing had a financial transaction of one hundred yuan with Lin Xiangdong's mother Wu Cizhi, and He wrote a loan statement indicating that the creditor was Lin Xiangdong.
Lin Xiangdong thought to himself: "This system is really amazing!" He couldn't help but sigh.
One salary was more than 300 yuan, and the other was 100 yuan, which added up to more than 400 yuan.
After Lin Xiangdong received the IOU, he went out to wash up, and then had breakfast with Lou Xiaoe.
His wedding leave has ended, and since he took half a day off yesterday, he has to go back to the factory to continue working today.
Not long after, Lin Xiangdong’s wedding banquet was two days ago.
Although the factory was still closed, Lin Xiangdong left his job early. Another colleague, "Shazhu", also left early, carrying a net bag containing two lunch boxes.
Whenever he has to work, "Shazhu" will take the leftover dishes home.
Before entering the courtyard, "Shazhu's" lunch box had already been taken away by Qin Huairu, and he seemed particularly happy.
Every time he handed over the lunch box, he would take the opportunity to stroke Qin Huairu's fingertips; such an action would make him happy all day long.
After all, this man nicknamed "Silly Zhu" simply likes women, but he is afraid to show his affection for the one he loves in his heart.
If Qin Huairu didn't have such an outstanding appearance, but was as ordinary as Zhu Bajie's distant cousin, would "Shazhu" still lend her a helping hand? Absolutely not.
What surprised Lin Xiangdong was that when he returned home, he found that Lou Xiao'e was neither at home nor in the courtyard.
There were several men playing chess intently in the yard. Lin Xiangdong had nothing to do so he went over to watch for a while.
After a while, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao also finished their work and returned to the yard.
Not long after, Lou Xiao'e returned to the yard.
It can be seen that Lou Xiao'e is in a very happy mood, with a smile on her face.
"I have found a job." When she saw Lin Xiangdong coming in front of her, she said with a smile.
In this day and age, people with good backgrounds are appreciated, and people who work hard are also highly respected.
Although Lou Xiao'e's background is not so glamorous and she has a slight inferiority complex, it is a happy thing for her to find a job.
“You found a new job?” Lin Xiangdong also seemed surprised.
Everyone else in the yard began to look at Lou Xiao'e.
“I worked as a salesperson in a department store, selling blazers for women,” Lou Xiao’e explained.
Everyone was secretly amazed.
In that era when public utilities and ** enterprises co-existed, jobs were like ** boxes, and even the profession of cleaner was in high demand.
Being able to work as a salesperson in such a prestigious shopping mall - a "department store" is actually a very decent job.
Speaking of burj, this is a fashionable summer robe for women from neighboring countries. Even a homemade burj costs about five yuan.
If you buy a set of braided women's clothing directly from a department store, the price will be more than ten yuan or even more expensive.
An average woman can only buy one braid with her monthly salary.
Working in a department store is impressive enough, let alone a position that specializes in selling these luxury items.
"This silly girl, she shouldn't be more restrained." Lin Xiangdong sighed helplessly in his heart.
He worked as a projection technician, while Lou Xiao'e, who came from a wealthy family, became a sales representative in charge of selling Bragi women's clothing at the department store. These things can easily make people jealous.
If someone were to use Lou Xiao'e's life experience to exaggerate it, it would also be a problem of some size.
But she couldn't hide this fact for long. With her new job, Lou Xiao'e would surely be noticed and asked about the details of her work. Would she still be able to hide it then?
Anyone who observes carefully will definitely know that she has now become a sales representative in the department store.
Apart from her poor background, Lou Xiao'e actually had good conditions, and being able to work as a clerk in a department store was considered a qualification for her.
"Hey, Xiao'e found a job! That's a good thing!"
"I heard that you're working as a clerk in a department store? That's pretty good."
"If you want to buy a skirt in the future, you have to ask Dongzi's wife for help."
Similar conversations were heard one after another in the small courtyard.
Qin Huairu, who also lived in the middle courtyard, naturally heard the news.
"What? Lou Xiao'e went to work as a clerk in a department store? And she's in charge of selling women's clothing?" Qin Huairu was quite surprised by the news, and then a feeling of jealousy emerged.
Qin Huairu felt that this was unfair; how could someone like Lou Xiao'e live such a comfortable life? After all, her background was much better than Lou Xiao'e's.
Although Qin Huairu may have the opportunity to get a job after she has a child, she will most likely start out in a position like mechanical processing.
The gap between a junior mechanical processing worker in a steel rolling mill and a salesperson in a department store is obvious; even a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative has a decent job.
It is conceivable that to be able to get this good job, she must have received the help of Lou Zhenhua. Without his care, it would be almost impossible for Lou Xiao'e to get such a position.
The salary for being a salesperson in a department store also varies. The women's clothing department in particular has higher salaries, which is definitely beyond what Lin Xiangdong can get now.
Qin Huairu was not the only one who was envious of Lou Xiao'e, even her mother-in-law was the same.
Jia Zhang was mending shoe soles at the door of her house, her squinting eyes gazing at the yard in front.
Because Lou Xiao'e spoke loudly, these words reached Jia Zhang's ears.
"It seems that this world is really unfair. Even if a person comes from a poor family, he can still become a salesperson in a department store."
"I think Lin Xiangdong and his wife are destined to be childless, that is, they are not destined to have descendants." The old lady's words became more and more extreme, and her eyes revealed malice.
However, Jia Zhang was not a person without wisdom. She did not dare to speak loudly for fear that others would hear her, so only Qin Huairu understood what she was talking about.
Before Qin Huairu married into this family, Jia Zhang pretended to be gentle and kind; however, once Qin Huairu entered the Jia family, the old woman immediately returned to her true self and no longer bothered to dress herself up.
After being married into the Jia family for many years, Qin Huairu has thoroughly understood Jia Zhang's true character.
What else can Qin Huairu do when faced with such a mother-in-law?
It is said that a daughter-in-law will eventually become a mother-in-law after going through hardships; a daughter-in-law is lucky if she is not bullied by her mother-in-law. Do she still want to control her mother-in-law?
Thinking of how happy Lou Xiao'e's life was, Qin Huairu couldn't help but have some perverse fantasies: How great it would be if Lou Xiao'e didn't have children...
Although Qin Huairu seems to be a kind person, judging from her actions in the play, can she really be called kind?
It is understandable to use "Silly Zhu" for the purpose of feeding the children; but this behavior should not be taken too far and turned into lawlessness!
It almost made a person extinct. What kind of method is this?
Besides, doing good things using other people’s property, what exactly does this behavior count as?
Being a good person but spending other people's money and then taking the reputation for yourself is just teasing people.
We should not simply believe everything Qin Huairu says, but should also observe her behavior.
There is no need to delve into Qin Huairu's inner thoughts, impatience, and distress. After all, when we judge a person, we should look at his actions rather than his inner thoughts.
In the Siheyuan's philosophy of life, one should get corresponding rewards for one's efforts. Even if one does not have much love in one's heart, one should not take advantage of others' kindness and push them into the abyss.
Qin Huairu's actions cannot be simply defined as good deeds, because there are unspeakable calculations hidden behind those slightly gloomy choices.
For example, she secretly took contraceptive measures, and her discipline of her children was obviously inadequate.
Look at the stick, breaking into someone else's house to steal, and trying to occupy that house while making others bear groundless accusations, did Qin Huairu say anything to stop it? The answer is obviously not that simple.
