Chapter 240 Envy - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
After Cen Xi operated the fan, everyone had enough of watching and stopped gathering around, each going back home.
The appearance of this fan made everyone in the yard jealous. Even after returning home, they kept discussing it.
While people were sighing at Lin Qing's good fortune, many quarrels also occurred.
"This Engineer Cen is really capable!"
"That's right."
"When will we have a fan at home?"
"I think you are just daydreaming. Do you have money? Do you have tickets?"
"What do you mean? How dare you say that? The fact that I don't have a fan is because you, as a man, are not working hard enough. If you were as good as Mr. Cen, why would you have to envy others here?" The woman originally wanted the man to work harder.
But the man thought the woman was belittling him, and his face turned pale. "What do you mean? So I'm useless, right? If you have the ability, then find someone who has it!"
"It would take a lifetime of bad luck for me to marry you!" the woman muttered softly.
"If you're not happy, get out of here!" The man also got angry.
In the end, both of them were very angry.
After the incident spread, similar quarrels occurred in many families.
However, Lin Qing and Cen Xi certainly had no way of knowing this.
"Brother Nan, please move the fan in! I'll move the recliner back." As she said this, she was about to do it herself.
Cen Xi quickly stopped him, "Put it down, put it down. I'll do it."
Seeing that he looked anxious, Lin Qing decided to listen to him and not do it himself.
Lin Qing entered the room first, "Brother Nan, are you going to work tomorrow?" His tone revealed anticipation.
After Cen Xi moved all the things in, he looked at the expectation in her eyes and suddenly didn't know how to start talking, so he just remained silent.
Lin Qing was the first to see something from his reaction, and quickly forced a smile, "Brother Nan, are you still busy? Then hurry up!"
Lin Qing tried to smile more cheerfully so that he could go about his work without any worries.
Cen Xi felt a little upset. He knew clearly that Lin Qing was pretending to be like this, but he didn't want to break her deliberate pretending. "Okay! Don't worry, I will try my best to speed up the research." I will come back early to reunite with you.
Lin Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Go!"
"Okay!" Cen Xi looked at Lin Qing steadily.
Finally, he hugged her, kissed her on the forehead, turned and left.
Lin Qing just watched his back getting farther and farther away, until he could no longer see him. The strength in Lin Qing's body was completely gone, and he collapsed on the recliner.
Lin Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly. She seemed to be becoming more and more hypocritical. Cen Xi was only going to be away for a while, so why did she feel more and more reluctant to let him go?
No, she found something to do to enrich her life so that she wouldn't always be tied down by these emotions.
Yes, that's how it should be.
After Lin Qing sorted out his mood, he took a shower and returned to the bedroom. Instead of taking out the comic book to read as usual, he took out the accounting book he had bought from the bookstore and studied.
She was able to enter the Finance Department because she was good at math, and with that little bit of financial knowledge, she was able to pass the exam. But getting in doesn't mean she can let her guard down. You have to know that there have been people in their department who have transferred out after working for a while.
Now, as her business capabilities have improved, she has been gradually valued and will not leave for the time being, but it is still necessary for her to improve her professional capabilities.
That night, the lights in the room were turned on until ten o'clock, and Lin Qing planned to go to bed. She had to go to bed early and get up early because she had to go to work the next day.
Before going to bed, Lin Qing plugged in the fan. This was bought specially for her by Cen Xi. She would not leave it unused and waste his kindness. However, she would only use it at night when she was sleeping. She would not turn it on at other times if possible. After all, it was a waste of electricity. She had to use it, but not too much.
Early the next morning, Lin Qing came out holding a washbasin.
"Oh, Lin Qing looks really good! It seems that he used the fan well last night and had a very good rest." Aunt Gu said at home with a sour look on her face.
Jiang Li was doing her own work silently and did not respond.
After Aunt Gu finished complaining, she turned around and warned Jiang Li, "You can't learn this. Our family is not rich. We can't afford such expensive things. You can't ask your man to buy it for you in private. Do you understand?"
Jiang Li felt bitter in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just nodded silently.
Aunt Gu was very satisfied.
Lin Qing didn't notice that many people were looking at her with heated eyes. She queued up silently as usual and fetched water to wash herself.
"Aunt!"
Lin Qing was in a daze when he suddenly heard Lin Shu's voice. He looked up at her a little late, his eyes full of confusion.
In fact, she had just woken up and was still a little confused, so when Lin Shu called her, Lin Qing just stared at her blankly.
Lin Shu blushed a little, not knowing what to say. She didn't want to come, but Aunt Jiang and Uncle Jiang put pressure on her. Even Jiang Yang hinted to her to see if she could borrow Lin Qing's fan.
"Hmm? What do you want to say?" Lin Qing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear.
"Aunt, it's okay, I just want to ask... want to ask..."
Lin Qing interrupted her impatiently, "So are you busy or not?"
"I..." Lin Shu was frightened by her tone, but he closed his eyes and still said what he wanted.
"I want to ask you, can I borrow your fan?"
"Haha!" Lin Qing was really angry and laughed, "Do you think I will lend it to you?"
Lin Shu clenched her fists. She finally understood what Lin Qing meant by this villain. This person would definitely not lend it to her. Ah! When she becomes rich in the future, she will definitely teach Lin Qing a lesson.
Lin Shu took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "If my aunt doesn't want to lend it to me, then don't lend it to me!" with a wronged tone.
Want to portray Lin Qing as a stingy person.
Just now when Lin Shu came to find Lin Qing, the others were just watching from the sidelines.
Lin Shu is Lin Qing's niece and the closest person in their compound. Although their relationship does not seem to be very close on a daily basis, the blood relationship between them cannot be severed. Maybe, in Lin Qing's heart, this relative is the most important!
They were watching and Lin Shu spoke up. Would Lin Qing lend him the fan?
If they really borrowed it, would they have a chance to succeed when they went to borrow it?
The others were mentally prepared for Lin Shu's failure. Take themselves for example, if they had obtained such a valuable item, they would not be willing to lend it out, no matter who their relative was.
Originally, this was just a luxury, and everyone just wanted to give it a try.
Of course it was impossible for Lin Shu to discredit Lin Qing. After all, almost everyone is a stingy person these days. If there are any good things at home, they will hide them secretly. Why would they share them with outsiders?
All I can say is that other people understand Lin Qing better, and they would be the same if they were in their place.
Who cares who Lin Qing is? They are just jealous of him. In the end, they are still just jealous!
