Chapter 120: So stingy

It's close to the delicatessen shop in the food factory, and although there's competition because of the large crowds of people selling things there, there will also be some potential customers. If you win the competition, all these customers will be yours.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want."

After Su Wensong left, Lin Chuxia continued to write her letters.

This is a letter to Qin Yang. She has been back for more than half a month. Now she has opened a new store, and her eldest brother and sister-in-law and fifth brother and sister-in-law have come to work in the store. She wants to talk to him about all these things.

I don’t know when it started, but Lin Chuxia has become accustomed to sharing these daily lives with him.

She wrote two pages of various things, and when she finished she still felt a little unbelievable.

I remember that I only wrote one page for him to make up the number.

The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up slightly. She didn't know what the man was busy with. It was about to freeze over, and they couldn't carry out a lot of their work.

My mother-in-law told me that he should be back before the New Year, but I don’t know exactly when he will be back.

If he comes back, I will definitely let him see their bun shop.

Lin Chuxia didn't rush to send the letter. She went home in the evening and asked Qin's father and mother if they had anything to say to Qin Yang. If so, she would write the letter and send it together later.

Both Qin's father and mother are not very literate. Qin's father attended literacy classes for a few days in his early years, but he is old and has forgotten many words, and his eyesight is not good either.

Mother Qin smiled and waved her hands. "No, as long as you are all fine, your father and I will be fine. Just let him work over there with peace of mind. If everything is fine at the company, go home early to celebrate the New Year."

What she hopes most now is that the two children can be together.

My daughter-in-law has been back for more than half a month, and I don’t know whether she is pregnant this time.

If she doesn't get pregnant, my son will have to try harder during the Chinese New Year.

Lin Chuxia didn't know what her mother-in-law was thinking, so she just said, "Okay, I'll tell him in the letter later."

Mother Qin hesitated to speak, and Lin Chuxia asked, "Mom, is there anything else?"

"There is something," she said, a little embarrassed. "Today, Daliang, your eldest brother from your uncle's family, came to see me and your father. He saw Xiaowu and his wife went to work for you, so he wanted to ask if you were still short of people. His daughter Lihua has been at home all the time, and she also wants to find a class to attend."

Before Lin Chuxia could say anything, Qin Han frowned slightly and asked, "Mom, what did big brother tell you?"

"Your eldest brother didn't say anything, but just mentioned this. Your father and I thought we shouldn't talk about you two for now. Xiao Wu and his wife both went to work at the bun shop. Your eldest brother wanted Lihua to go, so we couldn't refuse. So we said we would ask Chu Xia and then give him a reply."

Qin Han looked at Lin Chuxia and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to feel any pressure about this matter. If you think it's appropriate, use it. If you don't think it's appropriate, don't use it. You don't have to go when the time comes. I'll go talk to my brother."

It was also his fault that he set this precedent. The Qin Wu couple found him, and his sister-in-law gave him face and let the Qin Wu couple work in the bun shop.

Today it’s the eldest brother from my uncle’s family, and tomorrow it’s the second and third brothers? Who doesn’t have a few relatives? If this continues, how can my brother and sister-in-law manage their bun shop?

If someone does a good job, there is nothing to say. If someone does a bad job, it is neither right to use him nor to not use him, and he will be unpopular with everyone.

Lin Chuxia knew several children in Qin Liang's family. The eldest, Qin Jianjun, was also there when the family got married, but she had never met her daughter. She only met him once when they recognized each other as relatives. She was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen, and looked very quiet.

"It's okay, Mom. If Brother Daliang wants to come to you again, just agree to it. Xiao Wu has already gone to my place, and it would be inappropriate not to let Lihua go. You don't have to say anything final when the time comes. Let her go to my place first to see if she can do the work, and let my sister-in-law and Xiao Wu's wife take care of her for a few days."

If you can bring it out, do it. If you can’t, then wait and see. At least you have to give it face now.

Mother Qin heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. "Okay." She was afraid of this kind of thing, and she just hoped that it wouldn't cause trouble for her daughter-in-law.

The next day, Qin Lihua was brought to the bun shop by Qin Liang himself.

Lin Chuxia was not around, so Qin Han received them. She didn't care what they said specifically, but in any case, the brothers spoke more casually to each other than she, a younger sister-in-law who had been married for less than half a year.

When she saw Qin Lihua, the little girl was making dumplings with Zhang Guilan and Zhou Hongmei.

Seeing her coming, he called out a little stiffly, "Aunt Four."

Qin Yang is the fourth child in their big family.

Lin Chuxia smiled and nodded, taking a look at the buns she made. They were pretty good and looked very professional. She would probably be able to get the hang of it after two days of practice.

"How is it? Can you adapt?"

"Aunt Four, who can adapt, I also cook at home, but the dumplings I make are not as good as those made by Aunt Two and Aunt Five."

"I also came here to learn it. You make it much better than I did back then," Zhou Hongmei said with a smile.

Qin Lihua felt a little embarrassed, and Lin Chuxia also said, "Take your time."

At this time, someone came in to eat, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Waiter, give me eight meat buns and two bowls of millet porridge."

Chen Chunhua was already outside greeting customers, but Lin Chuxia thought the voice sounded familiar. Through the glass separating the kitchen and the front hall, she saw the sisters Li Hongmei and Li Dongmei sitting in the lobby.

The two of them looked around while waiting for the buns. Li Hongmei said to Li Dongmei, "I've heard that the buns in this bun shop are delicious. Let's eat a few more and bring some back for Mom."

Li Dongmei nodded. "If Big Brother wasn't so stingy, we would have eaten here a long time ago. Also, I heard that the cooked food here is delicious too. Look, there's a queue outside to buy it."

"Forget about the cooked food. It's not that Big Brother is stingy. Big Brother has always loved us. It's all because of his wife. I think he shouldn't have married Lin Jiayi in the first place."

"But if we don't marry Lin Jiayi, we will have to pay a dowry of 300 yuan. We don't have that much money. If we really borrow money, we might not be able to pay it back even if we starve to death."

"So what? It's better than marrying a troublemaker. I think Lin Jiayi is a troublemaker. A few days ago, she even wanted mom to find a partner for me. It really pissed me off."

…………

As the two talked, the things they ordered were brought up one by one.

Li Hongmei looked at the table next to her and pointed at the plate of pickled vegetables in front of the man and asked, "Why are you still selling pickled vegetables?"

Chen Chunhua smiled and explained, "The pickles are free. They are all over there. Take as much as you want."

Li Hongmei and Li Dongmei's eyes lit up, "Free food?"

Chen Chunhua had a smile on her face, but there was a hint of contempt in her eyes, "Yes."

"Wait a minute, I'll get some," Li Hongmei and Li Dongmei said, then came to the dining table, took a small bowl, and filled it with pickles.

Chen Chunhua reminded, "Although it is free, we must be careful not to waste it."

"I know, I know. It's just some pickles. You're so stingy."
