The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 437 - 421: Lesson 1_2

The little guy needed to use the bathroom in the early morning, so Jiang Nanzhou carried him down again.

Having gained experience, Lu Jingqiu rode her motorcycle directly to work the next day.

As a result, the old man at the door was surprised to see her, a woman, riding a motorcycle, and he stared in astonishment for quite some time.

She parked the motorcycle in the bicycle shed for teachers; some of the teachers saw it and wondered who had come riding a motorcycle.

They all thought it belonged to the principal.

But when Lu Jingqiu said it was hers,

everyone was surprised for a moment, but then, taking into account Lu Jingqiu’s attire, they all understood; she lived in a mechanical factory and dressed so beautifully and stylishly, her family’s financial condition must certainly not be poor.

Having her own motorcycle was proof enough she had the county’s first-class salary.

Because she had a lot of classes that day, Lu Jingqiu had to attend classes all day, not finishing until after five in the afternoon.

After work, Lu Jingqiu went to the farmers’ market and bought several catties of eggplants, beans, and leafy greens.

A few cents per catty, she spent a little over one yuan in total.

Seeing her return, Uncle Yang also prepared to finish his workday: "The bathroom is now fixed, I’ll start on the kitchen tomorrow. The kitchen will take about three or four days."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Uncle."

After sending Uncle Yang off, Lu Jingqiu placed the gas cylinder under the dining table and the gas burner on top of the table, to make do for the time being.

She washed the beans and the leafy greens and then blanched them.

Cut the eggplant into slices and blanched them as well.

She found a few clothes props to hang the beans and greens.

The eggplant slices were laid out on something on the floor.

For the past two days, Lu Jingqiu had been busy arranging many things.

Jiang Nanzhou also bought some dried mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms from Sister Yang.

Before they knew it, Sunday arrived.

On this Sunday, the couple was busy helping Uncle Yang.

The floor was done, the walls were painted, the stove was set up, and a cement sink was even constructed.

They said it would be done in four days, but everything was ready by Sunday.

The floors, walls, and countertop were all tiled and looked quite neat and nice.

A few sisters-in-law from the building came to see and thought it was not bad.

They asked Uncle Yang how much it cost to do a kitchen like that.

As a result, Sister-in-law Yang from across the way took a liking to it and wanted Uncle Yang to help set up a stove for her too.

Sister-in-law Cao worked at the hospital and paid special attention to cleanliness; her kitchen was made with cabinets, topped with large pieces of laminate tiles. She didn’t need to change anything.

Old Yang’s family had two workers, their child was still young, and they had some spare money to spend.

Before, everyone’s kitchens were like that, and nobody thought about renovating.

But Sister-in-law Yao from next door started to complain in her house.

"This Group Leader Jiang’s family, moving house is really a hassle, constantly making changes here and there. Every day after work, carrying big and small bags around.

It’s good to have Group Leader Jiang’s high salary."

Old Yang said beside her, "Why do you bother talking about that? It’s up to Group Leader Jiang if he wants to spend money on his wife; it’s his business."

"Everyone on this floor lives so large, yet you, you pinch pennies like nobody else. I want to do something, and you’re so controlling, not letting me. I’m the one who uses the kitchen every day, you don’t have to bother with it, you don’t see it so it doesn’t upset you."

"We can’t just blindly follow others.

On our floor, Old Wang’s household and Old Zhang’s household have wives who don’t earn a low salary, and they have fewer children, unlike us, with two kids. Our eldest is in junior high, and their tuition fees alone cost us several tens of yuan a year, plus we have to give money to the elders every month. You earn just over twenty yuan a month, we have to save, only with money in hand do we have prospects. Don’t learn from those women; of everyone on this floor, we’re the oldest. Why would you follow those younger ones?"

"Talk like that, and our life feels so constricted. So what if it’s more than twenty yuan? That new neighbor who just arrived, I heard she’s also a teacher, and I don’t know what she used to do before. Look at how she dresses, all dolled up like a peacock every day; that’s no way for a teacher to behave."

"Why are you speaking ill of others? Her man is capable. So young and he’s already a group leader; your man can’t buy you clothes fancy like flowers," she retorted.

"I was just saying it, why are you getting upset? Isn’t everyone curious about the new neighbors? A motorcycle here, a television there, and those fine clothes. The whole building is saying she’s spent Group Leader Jiang’s modest salary dry."

Old Yang glared at his unsophisticated wife and said, "And you’re still a teacher, not like Aunt Liu downstairs, always indulging in idle gossip.

Group Leader Jiang’s wife is a university graduate and an artist."

"Artist? She’s an art teacher, and they count as artists? Like those experts in the research department of our factory?"

"More or less, I don’t know for sure. I’ve only heard it mentioned occasionally by a few leaders, something about discussing Group Leader Jiang’s wife’s job, about having her in the factory’s propaganda department."ƒreewebɳovel.com
