Chapter 413: Possession - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
After a week of living in fear, Zhang Mengyun unconsciously became more low-key.
Anyway, Lin Qing was quite puzzled. Except for that morning, she had not seen Zhang Mengyun perform again. She wondered when the aunts in their yard became so friendly with each other?
No, no! How could she think so badly of him? Maybe they just get along better...that's all.
Well! I guess no one will believe this when I tell them!
Forget it, forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Today is payday again, and it’s another day when the money will be deposited into the accounts.
Lin Qing brushed his teeth happily and prepared to have breakfast.
She was not the only one who was happy in the compound today. Everyone in the compound was from the machinery factory. Lin Qing received his salary, and everyone else received theirs as well. Everyone was very happy and excited.
On the morning of the morning, everyone is looking forward to having a good meal after getting their salary!
"What a great day today is!" Mother Jiang swept away yesterday's depressed mood and hummed happily.
How should I put it? Some people like to act naughty when they are in a good mood. Aunt Jiang deliberately raised her voice at the door, "Big brother, wages are being paid today. You should go and collect them early. I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few pounds of meat and cook for you in the evening as a reward." Most of the factories here pay wages today, so it goes without saying that the supply and marketing cooperative will have meat in stock today.
"Oh oh! Meat, milk, I want to eat meat!"
“I want to eat meat too!”
Jiang Dahu and Jiang Erhu had just woken up and were still drowsy. When they heard the word "meat", they started shouting without caring about anything.
"Okay, okay! Eat, I'll give it to you in the evening!" Aunt Jiang quickly comforted the man.
"Hey! Aunt Jiang, it looks like you are going to use up all the coupons your family received this month! Are you going to not eat meat for the next month?" Boss Li, who was waiting in line to get water, said with a bit of envy.
Since their family split up, their living standard has been declining. Now he is the only one in the family who gets a salary. Although his wife is doing a good job in managing the household, she is still not as good as when his father still had a job.
"It's not like we can't afford to eat as we have four people in my family who are paid." Aunt Jiang said with pride.
It’s true, having four people in this family earning salaries is something that many people would envy!
For example, in their yard, the only family that can be compared to them is probably the Sui chef family in the backyard. Ever since their eldest daughter-in-law passed the exam to become a workshop worker, they have four jobs in their family, which is also very enviable.
There will always be people who can't get used to Aunt Jiang being so high-profile, such as Aunt Gu and Aunt Su across the street.
Lin Qing had already sat down at the door with breakfast in her hand. As soon as Aunt Jiang spoke, she felt that what he said was enviable, but also really jealous.
Aunt Gu lived up to her expectations. "Oh, Aunt Jiang, you have four people in your family who are paid. This is really enviable."
Aunt Jiang listened to Aunt Gu's praise with a very proud expression on her face.
"You have eleven people in your family and you have four wage earners to support them. This is really enviable.
Oh! Sorry, I miscalculated just now. Your second child is pregnant with another baby. After this, there will be four people earning wages to support twelve people.
It's nothing like our family, where only one person gets paid and has to support our family of five. I'm really jealous of your family."
Eh~ Lin Qing picked her ears, and felt that the accent and tone were a little familiar. She looked at Aunt Gu a few more times in disbelief. Is this something she would say?
Are you sure you're not possessed by Aunt Su?
The next second, Boss Li spoke again, "Auntie Gu, what are you jealous of? Your family's situation is almost the same as his! The salary of your Gu Hang alone is the total salary of Mr. Jiang and his wife!
Unlike my family, we have to support a family of four with a salary of just over 40! "It's nothing compared to someone who has to support a family of five with a salary of over 80.
The others who were waiting to go to sleep while watching the excitement seemed to have understood. After careful calculation, it seemed that the Gu family was indeed better off than the Jiang family.
Lin Qing is having trouble adapting to Aunt Gu's transformation. All these twists and turns are really irritating to Aunt Su.
Aunt Gu stood there and smiled reservedly, and the praise she had just given to the Jiang family suddenly turned into praise for the Gu family.
Aunt Jiang almost got angry when she saw this change.
It turned out that Aunt Gu was her lifelong enemy.
When Lin Qing heard other people in the yard calculating other people's family wages, he hurried back home.
At that time, the wage levels were transparent and a family's salary income could be easily calculated.
Their family is the one with high wages, few people and few burdens in the yard. It's easy to make people jealous if they stay here, so it's better to leave as soon as possible.
Lin Qingche was indeed very timely, and someone arrived at her house soon.
"Engineer Cen and Lin Qing have made so much! Even if they take my father-in-law and his wife in, one hundred and fifty bucks is more than enough to support four people, not to mention that my father-in-law has a pension." The person who said this was purely envious.
But I can't help but envy them, because one of them is an engineer and the other is a finance department official!
Both are technical jobs, and you can't do them without some skills!
Aunt Jiang and Aunt Gu suddenly felt a little weird again, as if they were just someone else's dowry.
What they want is for others to envy them, but in the end, it is still their family that is envied!
When Lin Shu was sitting at the door and listening to her mother-in-law bragging, she was still enjoying the envy of others towards their family.
But listening to others counting on their fingers, I always feel that their lives are not much better than other families.
The total salary of her and Jiang Yang is only as high as that of Gu Hang across the street, and the salary of her eldest uncle and father-in-law combined is not as high as that of the couple.
Even though she didn't hand over her salary, it was equivalent to three people's salary supporting a family of twelve, and it would be even less if it was shared among each person.
Besides, Jiang Yang's salary is higher than that of his uncle, and the baby in her belly is not born yet...
The eldest wife is blatantly taking advantage of me. No, I can't just let this go.
Lin Shu's desire to split up the family had never been stronger than at this moment.
If they separated, her and Jiang Yang's small family would be in a similar situation to the Gu family.
Little did Jiang Dama know that her boasting would become the fuse for the family split...
