Chapter 9: Selling lunch boxes at the construction site



Zhou Xinyue finally smiled and wiped her tears: "Brother Zhixing, aren't you going home to cook? I'll go with you. Yunshu isn't home these two days, and you're so busy at work, how can you clean the house?"

Lu Zhixing shook his head: "No need."

"I just want to repay you for being nice to me, nothing else!"

Zhou Xinyue smiled at him generously: "I have already applied for a company-owned house from the hospital, and I will go to the family quarters in advance to familiarize myself with the environment! A person who is in good health is not afraid of his own shadow, so are you afraid of gossip, Brother Zhixing?"

Lu Zhixing frowned: "You don't live in my house anymore?"

"I can't live here anymore. That's your wedding room. How can I live here forever? Yunshu is going to be angry again!" Zhou Xinyue smiled and pushed her bicycle. "I just wanted to tell you about this today. But it's reasonable for Yunshu to mind. I'll return the key to you. She'll definitely come back when she calms down."

Hearing this, Lu Zhixing relaxed: "Then let's go together."

He also hoped that Yunshu would calm down and come back soon. Maybe it was because they had been together for a long time, and now he was the only one at home, he always felt an inexplicable sense of panic in his heart. He knew that she would definitely come back, but he didn't know when she would come back...

When they got married, their family prepared a wedding house, but it was far from the hospital, so Yun Shu took the initiative to move to the family compound. He thought that the house would be empty anyway, so he let Zhou Xinyue and her son move in first, but he didn't expect Yun Shu to be so angry!

Money and houses are external possessions and cannot express his feelings, so Lu Zhixing only thinks that he was wrong to put Xie Yunshu in the psychiatric department out of helplessness, causing Xie Yunshu to lose his job.

But I didn't feel that I had done anything wrong in helping Zhou Xinyue...

The two men rode their bicycles into the family compound one after the other. Chen Xue saw them through the window and quickly called out to her husband, "Did you see how well matched Doctor Lu and Nurse Zhou are? That Xie Yunshu is just a superfluous girl!"

Zhang Qingshan and Lu Zhixing are both doctors in the hospital, but he is an internist. The two don't have many opportunities to work together. When he heard his wife's words, he looked up and glanced out the window, frowning: "What's wrong with Lu Zhixing? He actually brought Zhou Xinyue home?"

Xie Yunshu went back to her parents' home. If he didn't go to coax his wife, how could he bring another girl over?

Chen Xue lowered her voice mysteriously: "Why not? If you don't listen to these gossips, you won't know that Dr. Lu actually has Zhou Xinyue in his heart. They are a perfect match! Xie Yunshu still dares to make trouble at this critical moment, won't he regret it later?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Qingshan scolded her, "If this gets out, what do you think Xie Yunshu will think?"

Chen Xue simply sat down and said, "What do you know, a grown man? The Lu family has always been dissatisfied with Xie Yunshu, and now she is mentally ill. Can the Lu family want such a daughter-in-law? Zhou Xinyue is different. Lu treated her as his own daughter. I heard that when he brought Zhou Xinyue back, he cried so hard that his eyes were red! The position of the daughter-in-law of the Lu family will be changed sooner or later!"

Xie Yunshu had no backing at all. I don't know what was wrong with Lu Zhixing when he chose her. Maybe it was because she was pretty? A female worker in a packaging factory, with no education, what other advantages could she have besides being able to cook and serve men well?

Zhou Xinyue is different. I heard that she was able to pass the college entrance examination before the incident. She grew up with Lu Zhixing as a childhood sweetheart and they have a deep relationship! So what if she has a child? On the contrary, Xie Yunshu has been married for more than a year, but there is no movement in her belly, right?

Chen Xue had heard from Zhang Qingshan a long time ago that Lu Zhixing would be promoted to vice president next year. Such a young vice president would have a bright future! Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Zhixing had a special relationship with Zhou Xinyue. If she could curry favor with Zhou Xinyue, her husband might even be able to get a job in the future!

Zhang Qingshan had indeed not paid attention to this matter at first, but after hearing what Chen Xue said and seeing Lu Zhixing bringing everyone home, he also felt that something was wrong.

He is also a man, but he can't be as great as Lu Zhixing. How can he spend the money he earns on other women? Every penny of his salary should be given to his wife, otherwise Chen Xue will make him die!

I just feel sorry for Xie Yunshu. He lost his job and got divorced. His life will definitely be difficult in the future!

At this time, Xie Yunshu was riding a bicycle on the street. She didn't have any special skills except cooking, so she set her sights on selling lunch boxes. But how to make the lunch boxes, how to set the price, and where to sell them were all problems. She couldn't just do it without caring about anything, right?

Most state-owned units have canteens, so you definitely won't buy a box lunch to eat alone. This is also not allowed in front of schools, where students also eat in the canteen at noon. Other places, such as shopping malls, are also not allowed. People who go shopping are mostly young people, especially couples. When they are tired, they go to small restaurants to spend money. It is impossible for them to buy a box lunch and eat it on the bed. That would ruin their image!

Haicheng is developing rapidly, and the individual economy is springing up like mushrooms after a rain. You can see small vendors pushing carts or setting up stalls everywhere. They sell clothes and shoes, cakes, melon seeds, candies, vegetables and fruits. There are all kinds of vendors on the old street, but Xie Yunshu has never seen a vendor selling boxed lunches!

There are quite a few small restaurants, including fast food, soup dumplings, noodles, and big restaurants...

Looking further away, you can see tall buildings being built. This is also where the most outsiders gather. They are unwilling to do this job because it is too tiring and hard.

So most of them leave their hometowns and carry packages to earn money. In the past, Xie Mingcheng also worked odd jobs here. The conditions were poor but the salary was okay. He could earn about five or six yuan a day, which was considered a high salary.

She still remembered in her dream that after Xie Mingcheng failed the college entrance examination, his family had no connections, so he was eager to make money and came to work in the factory. He had to get up at five in the morning and work until seven in the evening. He brought cold rice and boiled water for lunch because there were no restaurants near the factory, and even if there were, they would not be willing to spend a lot of money on a meal.

But if there is no money in hard labor, how can you have the energy to work? At that time, Li Fenlan felt sorry for her son, so she rode her bicycle to deliver lunch every day. She was kind-hearted and it was not easy for her to see him. She also made extra salty soup for her co-workers every day...

Thinking of this, Xie Yunshu's eyes lit up! Isn't this a good way to sell lunch boxes?

She was a man of action, so she rode her bike straight to the nearest factory. It was winter, but the workers were busy as hell, and Xie Yunshu saw dozens of workers.

Conservatively speaking, this one worker can feed about 70 male workers, so she can definitely sell 30 lunch boxes a day. Each lunch box sells for 50 cents, and the profit is about 10 cents. 30 lunch boxes make 3 yuan, and she only needs to work for the lunch time.

By this calculation, she could earn at least 90 yuan a month, which was much more than working! And she didn't have to work in the afternoon, so she had time to read books and do other things...

Xie Yunshu took a deep breath and became excited. She thought that no matter how good the situation was, she might as well take action. She would go buy a tricycle and rice now!
