Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Preparing to Resign
Ma Suyun seemed not to catch the meaning behind Qian Chuncao’s words, and laughed, "What other important matters are there? Aren’t we talking about important matters right now? This is a huge joyous occasion for Lihua’s lifetime. To find such a good son-in-law, who will go to work with her earning salaries together—their life will be truly enviable."
If there weren’t outsiders around, Qian Chuncao would have wished to spit in her face.
Already calling him ’son-in-law,’ as if she had already given her face.
If it weren’t for her interference, she would have already become a factory director’s mother-in-law. Now, what a shame it is for her daughter, she still acts like they’ve picked up a great bargain. If it wasn’t for her own daughter’s matters, and there weren’t outsiders present, she could have skinned Ma Suyun right now.
Fortunately, the subsequent matters weren’t complicated. The main thing was for both families to meet and agree. If no objections arose, the rest could be handled by a matchmaker.
When the time was nearly up, the Cai family was ready to leave.
They had come in a tractor, but Cai Jun rode his bicycle here alone.
He needed to go back to the worker’s dormitory and wasn’t heading the same way as his family.
Lin Chuxia and Su Wensong had arranged to go see a car today, and after sending off the Cai family, they left directly.
Cai Jun watched Lin Chuxia’s departing silhouette for a long time, then turned to Qin Lihua beside him and said, "I have something I want to talk to you about, is it convenient now?"
Qin Lihua looked towards her parents, and before Qian Chuncao could say anything, Ma Suyun said, "Oh, it’s convenient. What’s not convenient? You are about to be engaged, what is there to fear?"
Qian Chuncao, holding back in front of the new son-in-law, really endured a lot, and finally turned back into the house.
She was afraid if she stayed any longer, she couldn’t help but start tearing into Ma Suyun.
Qin Liang gave Cai Jun a warning look and also went back inside.
Ma Suyun, having made herself uninteresting, saw that both Qin Jiang and Lin Chuxia had also left, and no longer felt like staying.
"Let’s talk in the courtyard."
Qin Lihua was happy inside. No matter what, she genuinely liked this man.
Now that they were engaged, as her Aunt had said, both of their salaries were good, and they would definitely live well in the future.
Growing up, she had seen plenty of her parents working the land. Her biggest wish in life was to escape the village and marry someone with a job.
The two entered the courtyard and stood under a large tree there.
"What did you want to talk about?"
Qin Lihua looked at Cai Jun with bright, twinkling eyes, feeling that Cai Jun was both the same as usual yet different.
Today he was quieter than usual. She thought they wouldn’t talk much.
Cai Jun looked at her for a moment and said, "I am planning to resign."
Qin Lihua’s smile gradually froze, "Why?"
They both earned fifty or sixty at the Bun Shop every month, which is a hundred together—more than what a factory worker makes.
Seeing that she really didn’t understand, Cai Jun simply said, "I plan to resign, and I hope you will too."
This completely unsettled Qin Lihua, "Why? If we both resign, what will we do?"
Ever since she knew the Cai family would come to propose, she had begun planning their beautiful life together.
"Why do you really not understand why we should resign? Lihua, I don’t want to revisit how we got together anymore, I was responsible too, but what we did is indeed unfair to the Sun family. I don’t have the face to see them anymore."
Even if he didn’t work at the Bun Shop and Qin Lihua was there, they couldn’t avoid meeting them. He didn’t want to see them anymore; might as well both resign.
"You can avoid meeting them if you’re ashamed. We can talk to my aunt, if worse comes to worst, we won’t work at the Bun Shop anymore. You can join my uncle in the marketplace, my brother is also there. I heard that working in the marketplace earns even more than at the Bun Shop..."
Qin Lihua’s voice became quieter and quieter, as Cai Jun’s dark eyes made it impossible for her to continue.
But she really didn’t want to resign. She didn’t want to live like her parents anymore, facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky.
"Cai Jun, think about it again, it’s such a good job."
Cai Jun looked at her, "Didn’t you say before that you would be willing to do anything for me?"
"I..."
Those words were taught to her by her aunt; she hadn’t expected that being with Cai Jun meant having to resign.
"I understand," Cai Jun nodded, turned around, and walked away.
Now Qin Lihua was anxious and hurried after him, "We are doing well here, why resign? It’s my aunt’s shop, not the Sun family’s shop, and farming can’t earn this much money, Cai Jun..."
"Choose between the job and me, take some time to think about it."
...
Su Wensong had contacted a second-hand minivan in the city, and the owner was already waiting there with a used 121 by their side.
The details had been discussed earlier/>The main purpose of this trip was to see the car and pick it up.
The owner handed the keys to Su Wensong, letting him go for a drive.
Su Wensong took the keys, started the car, opened the front hood to check the engine.
He had gotten his driver’s license. Before, Lin Chuxia had asked them to get their tricycle driving licenses, and Su Wensong had also obtained his car driver’s license.
With more or less some experience in car repair and inspection, he felt the car was fine and went for a drive.
When he felt the car was fine and was about to get out, he saw Lin Chuxia’s eyes sparkling at the car.
Not sure what he was thinking, he handed her the keys, "Do you want to try driving it?"
Realizing after speaking, how could Lin Chuxia, a young girl, know how to drive a car?
But Lin Chuxia grabbed the car keys without hesitation, clearly eager to try.
She got into the car, started the engine, figured out the gears, and drove off directly.
Su Wensong was still dazed and hadn’t reacted when someone patted his shoulder, and he saw an old classmate with a teasing smile, "Your boss has some skill, doesn’t look very old. Is she married?"
Su Wensong snapped back to reality, "She’s married, don’t even think about it."
"Hey, what am I thinking? Didn’t you know my kid is already three? I’m just looking out for you, you’re not getting any younger, I thought you had a thing for your boss..."
"Stop talking nonsense," Su Wensong stopped him, clearly a bit angry.
His friend quickly plead, "I was just saying, your boss is already married, think is pointless, but speaking of which, I have a cousin who just graduated high school, she’s pretty, how about I introduce her to you? Seeing that you’re an old classmate of mine, I’d even let you have a shot with a younger lady." n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
Su Wensong saw Lin Chuxia was turning back and replied indifferently, "No need."
His friend also knew the limit, although he wanted to win over this old classmate, he also understood the boundary.
The truck stopped in front of the two, Lin Chuxia opened the door and jumped out of the car, her face still a bit excited.
