Several women from the same family stepped in to smooth things over.
The sisters-in-law who almost got into a fight were separated.
Qin Xiang felt even happier watching everyone arguing.
Jiang Yue and Qin An didn't come back today; I wonder what they went to do.
She wasn't wrong; Jiang Yue didn't have any relatives in the county town.
If Jiang Yue really went to meet a man in secret, that would be wonderful.
If Battalion Commander Lu finds out, he will definitely divorce Jiang Yue.
"Comrade Qin, I heard you've started working at a state-run restaurant. How much do you get paid a month?"
"When we go to state-run restaurants in the future, you have to give us a discount."
"Comrade Qin, you are truly outstanding."
Hearing her sisters-in-law's praise, Qin Xiang felt proud, but said modestly.
"You flatter me, sisters-in-law. It's nothing at all."
What do you mean, give them a discount? How could that be? She's just a temporary worker, how could she dare to charge less? She'd be fired in a heartbeat.
These people say nice things, but in reality, they're just looking to take advantage of others.
Qin Xiang felt nothing but disgust.
People from small towns are indeed extremely greedy.
Qin Xiang thought of Jiang Yue again, wondering what Jiang Yue would do when she returned tomorrow and heard the rumors circulating in the courtyard.
She didn't want to be a waitress in some state-run restaurant; she was determined to join the performing arts troupe. Only by joining the troupe could she become someone others envied.
Qin Xiang thought of Lu Yu again. Why hadn't Battalion Commander Lu returned yet? If only he could come back sooner. Then, he would surely see through Jiang Yue's true character.
If she could come up with some more ideas, she would definitely make Battalion Commander Lu hate Jiang Yue even more.
In the morning, Qin Xiang got up early and borrowed Aunt Xiao's old bicycle. The group's bus arrived in the county town at around 8:20, and she started work at 8:30. If she took the group's bus, she would only arrive at the state-run restaurant just in time.
If she wants to perform well, she has to ride her bike there an hour earlier.
Qin Xiang felt fortunate that she had learned to ride a bicycle from Jiang Yue before, so that she could now ride a bicycle to work.
When she rode out on her bicycle, the women looked at her with immense envy.
When they were still a few miles from the county town, Qin Xiang's bicycle collided with another bicycle.
"Comrade, I'm sorry, are you alright?"
A young man in a gray coat quickly stepped forward to apologize.
Qin Xiang was very angry and started to curse.
Are you blind?
"Excuse me, I bumped into a rock. Comrade, where are you hurt? Let me take you to the hospital."
Hearing the man's words, Qin Xiang glanced at him.
The man was wearing a watch and clothes from a department store.
"Comrade, I'll compensate you ten yuan. If you're seriously injured, come find me at the county post office..." As he spoke, the man took out a piece of paper and wrote down his name and address.
Employees of the county post office?
Qin Xiang looked at this person, feeling extremely surprised.
"Comrade, I have something to attend to, I'll be leaving now."
Qin Xiang held the ten yuan in her hand and watched the man ride away on his bicycle.
That's ten yuan, half a month's salary for her.
Today is like a windfall.
Ignoring her pain, Qin Xiang happily rode her bicycle to the state-run restaurant.
In a corner not far away, the man from the post office watched Qin Xiang enter the restaurant with a smug smile on his face. He didn't ride away until quite a while later.
