Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 382 Qin’s Restaurant

Lin Chuxia had finished her business here, and Qin Yang happened to come over on his motorcycle, so the two planned to return to the city together.

Before returning, Lin Chuxia visited Old Sir He again, as she still hoped her master would join her in living in the city.

Old Sir He was all alone at home, utterly lonely.

However, once again, Old Sir He refused her, and in the end, Lin Chuxia had no choice but to return to the city with Qin Yang.

Life continued uneventfully; the weather was turning colder, and Lin Chuxia rarely went out, only occasionally visiting the Bun Shop.

It can’t be called the Bun Shop anymore; after the renovation of the second floor, it was officially renamed Qin’s Restaurant, a fairly common name during this era.

With added service, the business at Qin Ji Restaurant was doing very well, not to say that it was packed every day, but there were still a few tables, especially the private rooms on the second floor, which were very popular.

Master Sun often exclaimed that he was busier than when he was at the State-Owned Restaurant.

The daily business was so good that sometimes Master Sun and Master Kong in the kitchen couldn’t keep up; Jia Liang asked Lu Dafa to help in the kitchen.

Lu Dafa had some skills himself, having previously helped with catering, though he wasn’t as professional as Master Sun and the others.

When Qin’s planned to expand its business, Lu Dafa was very eager to work in the kitchen, fulfilling his own wishes.

Master Sun saw that he was indeed fit for this line of work and was willing to give him some guidance, more than enough to handle side dishes.

When Lin Chuxia saw the lively fish just bought at the restaurant, she couldn’t help but crave it and asked Master Sun to make her a Squirrel Fish.

Qin Yang did not like sweets much, so he ordered a Spicy Chicken instead.

She called Gao Lele at the front desk, "How much for these two dishes? Issue me a bill."

The accounts in the store were handled through billing.

Issuing bills was something Gao Lele was skilled at; she would issue hundreds of bills a day at the front desk, but this was the first time she was issuing a bill for the boss.

She looked towards Jia Liang who was not far away.

Jia Liang said directly, "Why are you looking at me? Listen to Mr. Lin."

"Alright," Gao Lele cheerily complied and issued the bill to Lin Chuxia, with payment collected.

Lin Chuxia quite liked Gao Lele, this young girl; she was smart and agile, and also beautiful, perfectly becoming the face of their restaurant.

She heard that Gao Lele had just graduated from high school this year and initially planned to take exams to become a factory worker, only to find that these two years, factories were not doing well, hiring fewer and fewer people, with many positions being internally filled.

She could have taken over her parents’ position, but since her parents were only in their mid-40s, taking their jobs would mean her parents would be out of work, which her older brother and sister-in-law would not be happy about.

So, Gao Lele simply found a job on her own, even if it meant working for a private entity, she was willing.

Unexpectedly, she found such a satisfying job.

Now at the Bun Shop, her salary was not at all less than what she would make as a factory worker, and she had more clout at home.

While waiting for the dishes, Lin Chuxia called over Qin Jianjun.

The shop wasn’t busy at this moment, and she needed to check in on her nephew’s life and studies.

Speaking of studying, Qin Jianjun’s eyes lit up.

"Auntie Six, I’ve realized that studying law really broadens one’s horizons. Many things I thought we had to endure silently can actually be addressed with legal measures. Like the issue with Huang Family Village’s chicken farm, we have a contract that is legally protected, and their attempts to provide inferior goods or even cut off our food factory’s supply outright is illegal. And the disturbance at the Old Food Factory at our Xiyang Food Factory; they violated the law by causing such a commotion, and we were indeed very lenient by letting it continue for so many days."

"It’s not about being merciful," Chuxia explained to him, "The law you’re learning now is just the national law and regulations. Since the establishment of our country, the law has been continuously perfected and supplemented. Regarding the issue of the Old Food Factory, according to strict legal regulations, they indeed violated the law. However, in the enforcement process, human feelings also have to be considered, plus, those people at the entrance of Xiyang Food Factory didn’t cause any personal injury or direct losses to Xiyang Food Factory. Actual enforcement might not have the effect you anticipate."

Today’s society is still situated within a traditional social system.

When applying the law, multiple factors are taken into consideration.

Nature’s law must not be violated, human feelings should not be defied, striving to consider all three aspects, has become an important characteristic and distinctive feature of the legal system in a traditional society.

This is shaped by the traditional economic production patterns, the integrated legal social governance structure, collective legal consciousness, and the long cultural accumulation, carrying a legal cultural inertia.

You may argue that such laws are not fair enough, but you have to admit, they also possess more humaneness.

And for Qin Jianjun and others studying law, what they need to do is to provide fairness while being humane.

"Laws are ultimately about human feelings."

This phrase is often uttered by those who rely on connections and seek to dodge responsibilities, thinking that law can accommodate personal biases; however, that’s not the case.

Here, "human feelings" doesn’t refer to personal biases, but points to the common moral sentiments shared by humanity.

"Laws are ultimately about human feelings," means that the formation and enforcement of laws cannot be separated from the common moral sentiments of mankind.

And the common moral sentiments of mankind are what is referred to as ’natural justice’.

Therefore, human feelings, national laws, and natural justice are mutually unified, interdependent, and seamlessly aligned.

The two discussed this issue extensively, and Qin Jianjun heard many different opinions from Chuxia, and many previously puzzling issues suddenly became clear.

When both dishes were ready, Qin Jianjun still had more questions.

Chuxia smiled and invited him, "Come on, come back home with me. Your Uncle has not seen you for a long time."

Qin Jianjun scratched his head, "It will be busy in the shop shortly; I better not go. Uncle probably doesn’t miss me."

Every time his uncle and aunt were together, he felt like a third wheel, it made him anxious.

The once cold and domineering uncle was no longer there.

Oh, towards him, he was still cold and domineering. Maybe it’s better to focus on earning money for his aunt.

After Chuxia left, Gao Lele said admiringly with a face full of amazement, "Mr. Lin is really impressive; she knows so much."

Qin Jianjun very much agreed with this, "My aunt is very capable in everything she does; working with her is assured. No matter the difficulties, she seems like nothing can stump her."

Even if there were unsolvable issues, his aunt would actively confront them.

He was always learning this mentality from his aunt.

Lele nodded and then looked at Qin Jianjun again, "You are very impressive too, working at the Bun Shop during the day and studying at night, you know so much."

Qin Jianjun felt embarrassed being praised, "I still have a long way to go, by the way, I have some errands to run."

Lele called him back as he turned to leave and stuffed two pieces of candy into his hands, "These are from my mom’s work unit, give them a try."

It was milk candy.

Qin Jianjun smiled, "Thanks."

Taking the candy to the kitchen, he saw Qin Juan and directly handed the candy to her, "Aunt, take this back for Ningning to eat."
