"Sister-in-law, look at you, Lihua is going shopping with you because I’ve allowed it. How could I deduct her pay? Lihua, just enjoy yourself with your sixth aunt. Have a good time, and your salary will be paid as usual," Lin Chuxia looked at her, smiling even more tenderly.
A flash of joy sparkled in Qin Lihua’s eyes. The opportunity to go out and still get paid was one nobody would pass up.
And accompanying the sixth aunt shopping, would she just watch her buy clothes? The sixth uncle is her dad’s own brother.
"Thank you, fourth aunt."
"What for? You should thank your sixth aunt for taking you out."
Ma Suyun raised her bowl and took a sip of porridge, her words muffled, "I... I need to wait a bit longer before I can go, I haven’t finished eating yet. Fourth sister-in-law, your shop seems pretty busy too, so just focus on your work and don’t worry about me. Lihua as well, get back to work quickly. Don’t let me hold up the business."
However, Lin Chuxia said, "Then I’ll get busy first. Lihua, stay with your sixth aunt a little longer; it’s rare for her to visit the shop."
Qin Lihua nodded brightly, "I understand, fourth aunt."
Lin Chuxia stopped fussing over the two of them and went off to work with Zhang Guilan.
Seeing her coming back alone, Zhang Guilan asked, "What’s going on? Isn’t Lihua coming?"
"It’s okay, let her stay there. The shop will be less busy soon. I’ll help you out."
Zhang Guilan guessed something from Lin Chuxia’s comment, "Did Ma Suyun say something?"
"She wants Lihua to chat with her for a bit, so I just gave Lihua half a day off to accompany her to the city."
Zhang Guilan caught the slyness in Lin Chuxia’s eyes and chuckled softly, "I think that’s good, given she’s come all this way, Lihua should really spend some good time with her sixth aunt."
There weren’t many new customers in the shop at the moment, and Qin Han was busy with cash and buns, he didn’t really need their help, so Zhang Guilan and Lin Chuxia whispered to each other.
"I don’t know what wind brought her here. You might not know since you’ve just entered the door; among the men of our Old Qin Family, except for our second brother, it’s Qin Wen from our eldest uncle’s family who is the most accomplished. We won’t talk about the second brother, but Qin Wen got a job at the counter of a Hardware Company, which is quite good. But I don’t know when, he always starts comparing himself with our second brother."
Zhang Guilan might have felt it was inappropriate to say these things among relatives, so she added an explanation to Lin Chuxia, "I’m not trying to stir up trouble between the brothers, just letting you in on what’s going on so you’re aware."
"Sister, I know, I can feel it too, Ma Suyun seems to have a bit of that towards me."
"More than just a bit. When you and the second brother set your marriage, Ma Suyun had plenty of cold things to say, especially about your eldest sister, and then it was changed to you. Normally, this isn’t a big deal, marriage talks aren’t set just because someone has mentioned it once, but Ma Suyun made a fuss about it. Perhaps it was because she felt that on the matter of marriage, her Qin Wen finally had the upper hand over the second brother. Without any doubt, they were probably waiting to see our Qin Family become a laughing stock when you two just got married."
Lin Chuxia chuckled. Such things were too common, even blood brothers competed, let alone cousins.
Qin Wen was less than two years younger than Qin Yang. The two used to go to school together, but when Qin Yang skipped a grade, the gap between them widened, and perhaps that caused some psychological harm to Qin Wen.
Ma Suyun was Qin Wen’s wife, so naturally, she would be influenced by him.
