Qin Hanshu looked over and happened to meet Xue Duoyan's eyes.

Xue Duoyan quickly dodged and even moved her body to the side, looking very flustered.

Qin Hanshu's gaze lingered there for a while, then he retracted it and told Cao Jing about the conflict between him and Xue Duoyan.

Cao Jing said worriedly: "She looks at you with hatred, which shows that she is a petty person. You must be careful."

Qin Hanshu nodded in response, but felt a little confused.

There was indeed some unpleasantness between her and Xue Duoyan, but it was not a serious matter.

When they met each other some time ago, they pretended not to know each other. It can be seen that even if Xue Duoyan was unhappy, she still held the attitude of "less trouble is worse than more".

What Cao Jing said just now was right. Xue Duoyan looked at her with hatred today. This was obviously a change that happened overnight.

Why?

Qin Hanshu couldn't think of the reason for the time being, and only reminded himself in his heart to be more careful.

Cao Jing shook her head and said, "It is said that department stores are popular and the people inside are full of intrigue. I think it is true. You have only been there for a few days and you have already offended such people."

"Where there are people, there are disputes. This kind of thing has nothing to do with the company." Qin Hanshu comforted her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I don't have much contact with her at work. At most, she will just glare at me."

What Qin Hanshu said made sense. One worked on the top floor and the other was a salesperson. Even if they had any interactions, they wouldn't have had too many. And even if he was trying to make things difficult for Xue Duoyan, it was Qin Hanshu who was trying to trick Xue Duoyan. Xue Duoyan didn't have the ability to do that.

Cao Jing felt relieved.

***

Most companies have a single day off on Sundays, but department stores are special. They have to be open all day except for the first day of the Lunar New Year, so their employees have been following a rotation system, with four days off a month.

Qin Hanshu chose a day when the flower and bird market was open to rest and waited for Rumei to come to see her at home.

Cao Jing originally said that she would go with them, but she received a letter early in the morning and went to her sister's house.

During this time, Liu Ercui came down to chat with her, and when she learned that she was going to the flower and bird market soon, she also became interested.

"I see the flowers on your balcony are so pretty, I'd like to get two pots of them back home!"

The layout of Liu Ercui's house is the same as Qin Hanshu's, with two balconies, but one of them has become a place for raising chickens and pigeons, and the other is filled with miscellaneous items.

The men in the family often complained about the hens and pigeons Liu Ercui raised, which made the house smelly and dirty, and said that she had no interest in life at all.

Liu Ercui was originally upset, thinking that raising hens and pigeons was the way to live. What is the fun of life? Can you eat it?

However, after seeing the flowers on the balcony that Qin Hanshu was growing, Liu Ercui instantly understood what the fun of life was.

Compared with her balcony, the balcony maintained by Qin Hanshu is colorful at first glance and fragrant. Even the most depressed person will feel good when seeing this scene!

Liu Ercui decided to learn from Qin Hanshu. She still had to raise chickens and pigeons, but she could use some time to clean up the sundries.

She thought that if she also built a balcony like the one in Qin Hanshu's house, the man in her family would definitely like it when he saw it.

When he heard Qin Hanshu say that she was going to the market again, he decided to go along with her.

Rumei arrived at around ten o'clock. Qin Hanshu put on a thick coat, and the three of them went out.

"Hey, your tweed coat is very beautiful. This color of material is hard to buy." Rumei pointed at the camel-colored coat on Qin Hanshu.

Qin Hanshu said: "I will inform you as soon as the fabric counter has stock."

Ru Mei said happily: "Yes! You work in a department store! Then thank you in advance~"

Qin Hanshu also said to Liu Ercui: "Sister-in-law, if you want anything, you can tell me and I will keep an eye out for you."

Judging from Liu Ercui's usual style, she was not someone who would spend much money on herself, let alone buy such expensive woolen fabric. So Qin Hanshu did not mention the fabric to Liu Ercui at all, but asked her if she had any other needs.

Liu Ercui waved her hand and said, "I don't have anything I want to buy." After a pause, she added, "We already have everything at home."

After saying this, Liu Ercui felt a little embarrassed. How could she have so much spare money to buy things?

She sent half of her husband's salary back to his hometown, and gave the rest to her husband as pocket money.

In fact, Zhang Lei didn't spend much money every month except for cigarettes. His hometown helped to raise the twins, so half of his salary was more than enough for a family of three.

But Zhang Lei said that starting from this month, the money sent back to his hometown would not be touched, and half of the remaining money would have to be given to him as he needed the money for socializing.

Liu Ercui didn’t understand why the man had to socialize, but she knew that she couldn’t help the man and couldn’t hold him back, so she readily agreed.

As a result, life at home became very difficult.

Following Qin Hanshu and Rumei at this time, listening to them chattering about what to buy, Liu Ercui felt that she was not the same kind of person as them.

Yes, just looking at her clothes, she is not as glamorous as them.

Liu Ercui slowed down her pace. Shouldn’t she go to the market with Qin Hanshu?

Qin Hanshu noticed that Liu Ercui had fallen behind, and turned back to shout, "Sister-in-law Ercui, hurry up and catch up, why are you still falling behind?"

Rumei also stopped and looked at Liu Ercui, waiting for her.

Liu Ercui looked at Qin Hanshu's bright smile and suddenly felt relieved and no longer felt embarrassed or ashamed.

Even if you don’t buy anything, what’s wrong with just going shopping?

Everyone has their own life to live. Compared to when she was in the countryside, she is doing very well now!

She always stares at others who have a better life. When did Liu Ercui become such an unsatisfied person? !
