"Don't worry, the Xie family treats me much better than you do," Lin Xiangyi retorted.
Treating you well but not valuing you, giving you a bundle of dried vegetables as a return gift? Lin Shan really wanted to pry open Lin Xiangyi's head to see what was inside.
He stared at Lin Xiangyi for a while, but soon gave in again.
Forget it, forget it, she has already married Xie Qingxiao, and husband and wife are one body, what else can she do if she doesn’t protect Xie Qingxiao?
The important thing is that he must protect her, keep her under his watch, and make sure that the Xie family doesn't dare to bully her.
"Let's talk business!" Lin Shan said unhappily.
"Go ahead," Lin Xiangyi pulled Xie Qingxiao to sit on the bed and looked up at Lin Shan: "We are listening."
Lin Shan: “…” They sat down and didn’t even bother to get him a chair!
Lin Shan dragged out the chair next to the desk and sat down facing Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi. Then he looked at Xie Qingxiao and said, "I found a job for you."
"..." Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi looked at each other. They never expected that this was what Lin Shan was talking about.
Nowadays, jobs are all about individuality, and it’s not easy to find one.
Even if Lin Shan had the ability to find a job, shouldn't he have found one for his biological daughter Lin Xiangyi? Why did he find one for Xie Qingxiao?
"What job?" Lin Xiangyi asked.
"The butcher in my unit... is a temporary worker," Lin Shan coughed. He wanted to find a better job for Xie Qingxiao or Lin Xiangyi, but he couldn't find one. He had to go to his leader with a smug look on his face to get the butcher to work as a temporary worker.
After saying this, he was afraid that Xie Qingxiao might be too picky and look down on this job, so he explained: "Although it's just a temporary job, and I only make ten yuan a month, it's better than farming in the countryside. Besides, the factory has good benefits, the canteen provides meals, and you can come back home to live if you want to."
As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Xiangyi and said, "If you all live at home, I will help you a little, and your life will gradually get better."
Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi: "..."
They finally understood that Lin Shan was afraid that Xie Qingxiao could not support Lin Xiangyi, so he found a job for Xie Qingxiao.
Lin Xiangyi's expression softened, and he looked at Lin Shan and said, "Dad, we appreciate your kindness, but forget about this job, we've already found a job."
"Have you found a job?" Lin Shan was surprised and asked hurriedly, "What job did you find?"
Lin Xiangyi remembered her business at this moment, and immediately sat up straight, looking energetic: "Yes, Dad, this is what I want to tell you."
These days, Lin Shan has also figured out the pattern of Lin Xiangyi's attitude towards him. She holds a grudge against what happened in the past, and is usually very rude to him.
This expression only appears when you need something from him.
He chuckled: "Go ahead!"
"Xie Qingxiao, where's the braised food?" Lin Xiangyi pushed Xie Qingxiao: "Hurry up and take it out for our dad to taste."
Xie Qingxiao: “…” Your purpose is so obvious.
But he now understood what Lin Xiangyi meant, and immediately got up and went downstairs to bring up the stewed food that had just been placed downstairs. He also took a pair of chopsticks and said with a smile: "Dad, please try it."
The braised food was packed in an aluminum lunch box. As soon as it was opened, the rich and overbearing aroma of the braised food spread out and went straight into Lin Shan's nose.
Lin Shan subconsciously looked at the sauce-colored duck intestines, duck hearts, and duck kidneys in the lunch box, which were mixed with a lot of ingredients such as cinnamon, bay leaves, chili peppers, and peppercorns, and there was a layer of bright red marinade at the bottom...
He didn’t know if it was because of the weather recently, but his appetite had not been very good. But now, looking at these ordinary braised dishes, his appetite was aroused.
"Duck innards? Did you buy them?" Lin Shan asked. He took the chopsticks from Xie Qingxiao, picked up a piece of duck kidney and put it in his mouth. He immediately praised: "It's delicious! I didn't expect that the smelly duck innards could be made so delicious. Where did you buy them?"
Xie Qingxiao: "This was done by Xiangyi."
"You made it?" Lin Shan looked at Lin Xiangyi in surprise: "How can you make something like this?" And it's so delicious.
"I just figured it out myself," Lin Xiangyi said perfunctorily.
Lin Shan did not doubt it when he heard it. After all, he knew that his daughter could cook, and it was understandable that she was gifted and could come up with such delicious food.
He then ate——
"Dad, is it delicious?" Lin Xiangyi asked with a smile.
"It's really delicious," Lin Shan said without even raising his head.
"Then what do you think if we take this out to sell, do you think we can sell it?" Lin Xiangyi asked again.
"Are you going to sell it?" Lin Shan was stunned, and immediately understood what Lin Xiangyi meant by "found a job".
He is not like Xie's father or mother. Because of his work, he often travels around and knows that there are many people doing business outside, so he is not so surprised about doing business.
However, he also had a common problem among many people of that era - doing business was not respectable, and the only serious thing was to work in state-owned factories and units.
"No!" Lin Shan objected, and said angrily: "Why would you want to do business? Only those who can't find a job would do that..."
Lin Xiangyi: "Then we just can't find a job, so we do it?"
Lin Shan choked: "How can you be the same..."
"Why are they different?" Lin Xiangyi asked back: "Can you find a job for us? Find a job for me and Xie Qingxiao. Don't want temporary jobs, but regular jobs."
Lin Shan: “…” If he has that ability, he can just support them.
"Can't find it? Then don't object," Lin Xiangyi said bluntly, "It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat! In my eyes, there's nothing respectable about doing business, as long as you can make money and support yourself! But don't look down on those who are doing business now, things may change over time, and maybe in a few years, you will have to respectfully call them boss."
Lin Shan: "...you are the only one who can talk!"
"Well," Xie Qingxiao finally found an opportunity and said, "Dad, Xiangyi and I have already discussed this matter. We still think that doing business is the most suitable for us."
"Okay, okay, okay. I can't persuade you. Just do what you want to do," Lin Shan finally compromised.
"Yes, yes," Lin Xiangyi's attitude became attentive again, trying to get to the point: "So, Dad..."
"You want me to use my position to wholesale duck offal for you, right?" Lin Shan looked at Lin Xiangyi. Did she really think he couldn't see what she was thinking?
"Dad, you are so smart!" Lin Xiangyi gave Lin Shan a thumbs up, and then said righteously:
"But don't worry, Dad. I won't let you take advantage of your position to do anything sneaky. We have to be honest in our conduct, whether we are human beings or doing business, right? I just want you to tell your leader that we have this need, and ask if the factory can give us this convenience."
"Okay, I know what you mean!" Lin Shan interrupted Lin Xiangyi unhappily: "I will talk to the leader, but it may not work."
"Okay," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out, we can discuss it anyway!"
