Chapter 166: Chapter 167: Crazy Education
“Besides, where do you find a man living off a woman’s money?” Xu Ying was imparting her strong views to Lu Daya. “At the least you could say the man is freeloading, but more seriously, it could an he’s incompetent, failing even to earn more than a woman.
How could you expect anything from him? Once you get married, not only will you have to bear children, do the housework, and cook, but you’ll also have to run around earning money. Then what use is having a husband at all?” Xu Ying was filling Lu Daya’s mind with these intense thoughts.
Lu Daya nodded in agreent.
Xu Ying, still concerned, said, “Just rember, any man who wants to spend your money is a con artist, and a loser at that.
If a man truly loves you, not to ntion spending your money, he would move heaven and earth to earn money for you to spend.”
Finally, Lu Daya understood. From then on, no man could spend her money.
Xu Ying looked at Lu Daya and, satisfied she had taken the lesson to heart, checked the ti—it was half past noon.
She then waved her goodbye.
Lu Daya, having been lectured by Xu Ying, found her mind much clearer.
The next ti she encountered Sun Yiliang, that impulsive feeling was gone.
“Daya, my sister’s situation might be too much trouble. I think it’s inappropriate; maybe we shouldn’t co to your house after all,” Sun Yiliang said, looking concerned after the school term started.
Without hesitation, Lu Daya responded, “Okay, let’s forget about it then.”
Sun Yiliang was stunned. He had chosen to teach in this difficult rural area because his mother worried about his sister and insisted he look after her.
Since his arrival at Yushan Commune, he had been scheming to learn about Xujia Village.
After much thought, he chose Lu Daya, who had a job and could earn money, and most importantly, she was kind-hearted and easy to deceive.
Just after they beca a couple, he ntioned how hard his sister’s life was and how it pained him; Lu Daya, ever so considerate, had offered to invite his sister to live at her house.
It had been just over two days since they had seen each other, and now Lu Daya had changed her tune. Hadn’t she previously assured him she could handle it?
“Daya, what’s wrong? You seem different,” Sun Yiliang said, his face full of sadness.
Lu Daya was bewildered. How had she changed?
“Do you not like anymore?” Sun Yiliang asked.
Upon hearing this, Lu Daya beca anxious and quickly shook her head. “No, why would you think that?”
“I just feel like you’re not as warm towards anymore. Ah, maybe I’m overthinking it,” Sun Yiliang sighed.
“No, you’re overthinking it,” Lu Daya reassured him, secretly pleased to be cared about so much for the first ti.
But that joy was soon crushed by Xu Shengcai.
Xu Shengcai, shocked, had listened to his little sister saying Lu Daya and Sun Yiliang were together. He had always felt there was sothing suspicious about them and had wondered before.
Yet when he confronted Sun Yiliang, the young man flatly denied it.
Rembering his sister’s instructions, Xu Shengcai teasingly approached: “Lu Daya, I heard there’s a new movie in the theater. Autumn Leaf and I are going next week. Why don’t you ask your man to take you?”
Lu Daya’s expression tensed sharply.
And Sun Yiliang’s face turned even paler.
Xu Shengcai continued, “Who is this mysterious man of yours, keeping secrets and sneaking around in love—don’t tell you’re not planning to marry?
Not marrying would be scandalous; you’re really bold.”
Lu Daya’s face turned red, and she stealthily glanced at Sun Yiliang.
Seeing Xu Shengcai now knew about his and Lu Daya’s relationship visibly relieved Sun Yiliang.
This scene was clearly seen by Lu Daya. After Xu Shengcai left, Lu couldn’t help but ask, “Yiliang, are you really scared that everyone will find out about our relationship?
You don’t want to marry , do you? You just want to fool around with ?”
A flash of panic crossed Sun Yiliang’s face, and he quickly explained, “That’s not it, Daya. I just want to save so money and have a decent condition before I can stand proudly before you.
I don’t want people to look down on and make you lose face with .”
It must be said that Sun Yiliang was quite an actor, his acting skills were on par with Dong Wenzhong.
Lu Daya looked touched and also felt so guilt, as she shouldn’t have doubted him so.
“I’m sorry, Yiliang.”
“No problem!” Sun Yiliang touched Lu Daya’s forehead, smiling as he spoke.
anwhile, Xu Ying had just finished distributing the restaurant’s salaries and took advantage of a one-hour break to run to the food factory.
Her timing was perfect, as Mr. Sun was just about to find her and give her her salary. Seeing Xu Ying arrive, he imdiately smiled and took her to the office.
He took out a big stack of money for Xu Ying, proudly saying, “I told you before, if you work hard, you’ll definitely get a good salary.
This is your bonus and commission from the managent. Before, I heard that Director Hong’s commission was ten yuan with a ten cents reward; our factory sells at wholesale prices outside, definitely not as much as what restaurants earn.
Moreover, we have workers in the factory too, so many employees need their salaries. The factory’s commission might not be high, one hundred yuan yields ten cents.”
“But our factory has many orders. This month alone we sold goods worth two hundred thousand yuan.”
Two hundred thousand yuan earned in just one month, Mr. Sun couldn’t even imagine; a duck business making so much money, nearly matching their half-year performance.
A two hundred yuan commission plus a thousand yuan bonus, Xu Ying filled a sack with the money.
Mr. Sun looked envious; this girl’s monthly salary was more than ten tis his.
Xu Ying was so delighted with so much money, her eyes practically curved into smiles.
It was just this amount of money that made her fear thieves might target her.
Then she looked at the system task reward of three hundred yuan, not finding it appealing anymore!
The system, sensing Xu Ying’s thoughts, imdiately voiced a warning, “Host, the ladies involved in the mission are all affected by you, you can’t be heartless, wail~”
“Shut up, you think I’m as heartless as you!” Xu Ying snapped and aggressively turned off the system.
Turning around, she looked at Mr. Sun with a beaming smile, wondering when she could beco a ten-thousand-yuan household with a monthly commission of two hundred yuan.
She felt the sales volu could be improved!
“Factory manager, a monthly performance of two, no, two hundred thousand yuan I think can still be improved. We should be aiming for foreign exchange creation for the country.
If we can’t make a na dostically, how can we convince foreigners to buy our duck goods.
Also, I’ve been developing so other products recently, which I think can be sold soon.
Factory manager, your sales staff really aren’t up to par!” Xu Ying fearlessly critiqued Mr. Sun.
Secretary Zhang, standing nearby and hearing Xu Ying boldly lecture the factory manager, imdiately shrank his neck like a quail, trying to minimize his presence.
This little girl was too bold, even daring to challenge the authority of the factory manager.
He was in a panic, expecting the factory manager to explode in anger soon and desperately trying to find an excuse to leave.
“Fac, factory!” Secretary Zhang stamred, sweating profusely, wanting to flee the scene.
