Just as Cen Xi had guessed that night, Wang Qiaomei loved herself more than she loved Jin Jianhua.
At noon that day, Lin Qing and Wang Jiaojiao were treating their two masters to lunch at the canteen, since they had just received their paychecks the previous day.
"I told you two, there's no need to treat us to a meal," Liu Guiyun said coquettishly.
"It's only right that we do this. You both have taught us diligently how to manage the accounts. We can't just be ungrateful. Besides, treating you to a meal isn't a big deal. Consider it our little gesture of appreciation!" Lin Qing said jokingly.
"Alright, alright! You really have put in effort!" Tang Xihua still enjoyed interacting with Lin Qing. This apprentice caught on quickly, and her calculations were both fast and accurate. Who wouldn't like smart kids?
"Masters, eat! The dishes in the canteen today are really good!" Wang Jiaojiao started to invite them.
Indeed, the dishes in the canteen today were excellent, especially the braised pork. After all, the braised pork in the canteen was Uncle Sui's specialty. They had learned this from Fu Huihui in the personnel department on their second day of work.
On their second day, Fu Huihui brought them their work clothes and casually invited them to a meal. The three of them gradually became familiar with each other.
Cen Xi, afraid that joining them would make Lin Qing's friend feel awkward, chose not to eat with them. Instead, he found colleagues to have a meal with.
Cen Xi wasn't that much of a stickler for hanging out, so he was happy to leave the lunch time to Lin Qing's friend. After all, the research department could get so busy that they didn't even have time to eat, let alone have meals together. It was good that someone could accompany Lin Qing.
That noon, Lin Qing intentionally didn't ask Cen Xi to join them for the meal she had arranged for her masters. The four of them ate and chatted—about what, you ask?
Of course, they chatted about factory gossip and their own personal troubles!
"Can you believe schools have to go on summer break?" Liu Guiyun vented. "Those two little troublemakers of mine are driving me crazy at home!"
"Huh? Have the students started their summer vacation?" Lin Qing, living in a bit of a daze, hadn't paid attention to these time points since she graduated.
"Yes, they started a few days ago. I have to worry about those two troublemakers at home every day while I'm at work. It's giving me a headache," Liu Guiyun kept shaking her head.
"Luckily, my eldest daughter helps look after her younger brother. He listens to his sister so well, which saves me a lot of trouble!" Tang Xihua said gratefully.
"Sigh, your family is so blessed. My two brats are at that age where they're a pain for everyone, always stirring up mischief. I have no one to manage them while I'm at work. Their grandparents just spoil them. Sigh, it's really tough to manage!" Liu Guiyun looked at Tang Xihua enviously.
She really wished she could pack those two brats and send them away!
"Sister Liu, is raising a child that difficult?" Lin Qing, seeing Liu Guiyun's expression, couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"You'll know when you have one!" Liu Guiyun wanted to continue venting but decided against it. "But I suppose you're not planning to have kids so early?"
"Yes, I and... he haven't planned to have kids so early. As you know, my health isn't fully recovered yet. I need to make sure my body can handle it before we even think about having children!" Lin Qing actually didn't avoid talking about her health issues in front of others. If she were to avoid the topic, people would be overly careful around her, and she didn't like that.
So, after starting work, she took the opportunity to openly let everyone know that although her health wasn't great, as long as she was careful, there wouldn't be any problems. Her colleagues were relieved to hear that!
Even if she hadn't said anything, people could somewhat tell from her complexion.
"Cen Gong is a really good guy!" Liu Guiyun and Tang Xihua appreciated him for that.
"I'm lucky to have met such a good man!"
"Actually, you're still young. It's too early to have kids now, and with no one from your in-laws' side to help out, if you do have kids, both of you are working. It'll be too much to handle!" Liu Guiyun suddenly thought of their family situation and said.
"That's fine, we're not planning to have children for the next two years anyway. In a few more years, when we do, my parents will have retired by then. They said they want to come and help me take care of the child." Though Lin Qing worried about burdening her parents, she felt happy about the idea of living together with them.
"Wow, your parents must really love you a lot!" Wang Jiaojiao exclaimed.
"Of course they love me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come this far." Lin Qing said openly in front of others.
"With your parents around to help, it will be easier for you in the future!" Tang Xihua said from the perspective of someone more experienced.
……
"Hey, do you see that woman over there? Why is she staring at us like she’s mad at us?" Liu Guiyun suddenly said.
Liu Guiyun and Tang Xihua were sitting across from Lin Qing and Wang Jiaojiao, who had their backs to the woman and didn’t see her. Just as they were turning around, Liu Guiyun stopped them!
"Don’t turn around. I think she’s looking at you two. Let’s not turn around yet, so she won’t notice."
Tang Xihua glanced in the direction Liu Guiyun pointed and said, "Her?"
"Yes, that’s her!"
Tang Xihua squinted her eyes. "This looks like the new worker in the workshop, Wang Qiaomei. She came by a few days ago to get her wages. Yes, it’s her!" Lin Qing had helped out when I was handing out wages.
Wang Qiaomei???
"Tang Sister, Liu Sister, I know Wang Qiaomei. She’s married to Zhou Qin and lives next door to me." Lin Qing explained Wang Qiaomei's situation.
"Wait, she’s the wife of that old bachelor?" Liu Guiyun and Tang Xihua knew that Zhou Qin had gotten married, but they didn’t know who his wife was. They found out today!
"Yes."
"Then why is she staring at you two like that?" Liu Guiyun and Tang Xihua were very curious.
Lin Qing and Wang Jiaojiao exchanged glances: Should we tell them? Do you want to say it?
Lin Qing respected Wang Jiaojiao's decision. If Wang didn’t want to talk about it, she wouldn’t say anything.
"It’s fine, you can tell them." Wang Jiaojiao had long moved on from that incident and no longer had any feelings about it.
"This Wang Qiaomei was the woman Jiaojiao's ex was cheating with." Lin Qing said in a low voice.
The amount of information in Lin Qing's sentence completely stunned Liu Guiyun and Tang Xihua!
