Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Envy-Inducing

Madam Liu glared at her daughter, "Do you have any idea how well the Xu family lives? Their rural tourism business alone costs hundreds of thousands to contract.

You wouldn’t know that the feast for the full month celebration of Xu Jia’s daughter, just the banquet alone cost several thousand yuan.

Not even blinking an eye, the animals on their farm eat better than us. Imagine living such a life; if you married into that family, how fortunate you’d be."

Hearing her mother’s words, the Liu daughter momentarily wavered. Who wouldn’t want to live a good life?

But that would mean becoming the other woman.

The Liu daughter hesitated. On one hand was a life of wealth; on the other, being a homewrecker.

Madam Liu continued, "Do you know Qiu Ye’s husband drives a car worth tens of thousands of yuan?

That’s something ordinary people like us couldn’t afford in a whole lifetime of working. Not just that, they own dozens of shops and all the vegetable greenhouses in Xujia Village.

They’re all university graduates too, and I heard some even went abroad."

Madam Liu’s excitement grew as she spoke, almost as if an ordinary person had encountered an emperor.

Her speech started to sway her daughter’s resolve.

Xu Ren Guo was a show-off. Standing in the courtyard, he would say to everyone he met, "Alack, soon I’ll be all by myself."

When the people around heard this, they grew curious and pressed Xu Ren Guo for details, "Mr. Xu, what about your wife? Isn’t your son also at home? How can you say you’ll be alone?"

"Ouch," Xu Ren Guo exclaimed, "My wife is going away tomorrow with my daughter and son-in-law.

See, my daughter’s pregnant and requires my wife to take care of her."

"Why doesn’t your daughter’s mother-in-law go?"

That was the question Xu Ren Guo had been waiting for. With an understanding look, he said, "My daughter’s mother-in-law has another little daughter to care for, who’s without grandparents, and two more daughters to look after.

That Minister Xu, you know her, right? She’s so busy with work and studies, spinning around like a top. How could she have time to take care of two kids? So, they needed to send her mother along.

My daughter’s left with no one to care for her, but thankfully, her mother-in-law is enlightened. Feeling she owes my daughter, she decided if she couldn’t provide help, she’d provide money—gave my daughter two hundred yuan, a monthly stipend of two hundred just for her troubles."

Xu Ren Guo said this with a proud look on his face.

The people in the courtyard were astounded upon hearing this.

Two hundred yuan was nearly three months’ salary for an ordinary person.

Across the way, Madam Liu and her daughter heard everything loud and clear.

Madam Liu grew even more envious, "Just listen, for just taking care of someone, two hundred yuan a month. Just how much must they be earning a month?

How come Qiu Ye is so damn lucky, marrying into such a wealthy family?

When she was young, she didn’t have it as good as you."

Liu Jidan’s face turned extremely uncomfortable. She was born and raised in the county, with a house in the city.

When Xu Qiu came along, her family was poor and shabby, several people cramming into one room.

It was only later, as time passed, that Xu Ren Guo became an accountant and was allocated a house.

Even then, the Xu family’s life couldn’t compare with hers—her parents were both permanent employees, and so was her grandfather.

Three permanent employees in her family, far surpassing the Xu family with just one.

Back in school, she ate nothing but steamed buns for every meal, and Xu Qiuye did feel hungry all the time.

Later, Xu Qiuye and her brother grew up and both started working, and their lives gradually improved.

However, Liu Jidan still had it better than her, with better food and clothes than she needed.

Even when Xu Qiu dated a guy from the countryside, Liu Jidan never missed a chance to mock her.

Now, seeing Xu Qiuye outdo herself, and with the man she once looked down on, Liu Jidan felt somewhat unbalanced inside.

Her face twisted with resentment as she watched Xu Qiuye, she quickly changed into a different outfit, and left the house.

"Qiuye, it’s Sunday for you now, I’m really envious of you, I never expected your fortunes would turn out so well.

Your dad used to disdain Xu Shengcai for being unsuccessful and wouldn’t let you marry him, but now the tables have turned completely." Liu Jidan said with a sly smile.

Xu Qiuye’s face turned slightly awkward upon hearing these words.

"Do you still remember Gao Yang, the guy who used to come to you every day and give you rides to and from work? You even went to the movies together," Liu Jidan raised her voice deliberately.

Xu Qiuye’s expression grew even more unpleasant, "Liu Jidan, I’m married now, why bring up Gao Yang for no reason?"

"I’m just saying, your reaction is so strong, could it be that he’s still on your mind?" Liu Jidan said.

Xu Shengcai, who was at a distance, immediately looked darkened, strode towards Xu Qiuye, and firmly embraced her, bragging, "Qiuye is my wife now, if anyone’s on her mind, it’s definitely me.

If you don’t have anything else, you’d better leave quickly; my wife is carrying my child and doesn’t want to talk about such unpleasant matters."

Liu Jidan had only glanced at Xu Shengcai’s indistinct features from afar before, but now seeing his handsome face up close stirred something in her.

If only she could marry a rich man, she would live a carefree life.

It didn’t matter to her whether the man liked her or not; as long as she could marry into wealth and have money to spend, that was a good life.

She glanced at Xu Shengcai and immediately averted her gaze, "Sorry, Qiuye, I just thought it’s been a long time since you’ve been back, and I wanted to catch up with you."

Hearing her apology, Xu Qiuye found herself at a loss for words, shaking her head, "It’s nothing."

Liu Jidan sighed as she looked at Xu Qiuye, "Qiuye, you must be really lucky. The rest of us are still working ourselves to death for a meager income, and you managed to marry such a wonderful man.

I must say you have a good eye, recognizing the hidden potential in your man. I genuinely feel happy for the both of you."

Everyone loves to hear praise; Xu Shengcai beamed with joy at Liu Jidan’s compliments.

Xu Qiuye was also happy, wasn’t it all about having a good eye?

"Are you still working at the condiment factory?" Xu Qiuye asked.

Liu Jidan shook her head, "No, I quit the job at the condiment factory. I don’t want to only work around here; I want to travel around and see the outside world.

By the way, Qiuye, you have a wide network now, could you help me see if there are any good jobs out there?"

Xu Shengcai laughed, "What did you do before? Why don’t you come work with us?"

His little sister and brother-in-law’s stores were expanding, and the family also had a rural tourism business and greenhouses.

Moreover, his little sister was planning to develop tourist attractions elsewhere, so they would need an ever-growing workforce.

She was planning to start a company to manage the people under her.

"Ah? You’re hiring? I worked in human resources before, but I quit because it was just too dull. You know how it is in the factory, my job was just too idle," Liu Jidan said nonchalantly.
