Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 138 - 139 Double Salary

Chapter 138: Chapter 139 Double Salary

“Mom, Dad.” Xu Ying rode her bike, shivering all over, her lips turning slightly purplish.

Mrs. Xu was about to go out, but seeing her daughter come back like this, she felt terribly heartbroken. She took the bicycle from Xu, pulled her daughter into the house, and they headed straight to the stove. Mrs. Xu kept holding her daughter’s hands to warm them.

“Why did you come back at this time? Don’t you have to work tomorrow? Don’t come back so often if it’s not necessary, you might freeze to death on the way,” Mrs. Xu said, her heart aching.

Xu Ying’s hands were warmed by her mother, and her heart felt warm too. “Mom, I’m taking a week off this time.”

Mrs. Xu looked surprised. “What happened? Why do you need such a long break?”

“The director of our restaurant rewarded me with a vacation,” Xu Ying said with a smile, snuggling into her mother’s embrace.

...

Mrs. Xu, hugging her daughter, asked curiously, “Is it because of that ‘duck stuff’? What exactly is it that made your director so happy?”

“It’s just a dish. I’ll cook it for you tomorrow. This dish sells well in our county, and it has made a lot of money for our restaurant. The boss was so happy that he rewarded me with a week off.”

“What about your job? Your uncle told me you have two jobs now, still working at the food factory? Working so much in one day, aren’t you tired?” Mrs. Xu felt terrible for her.

Xu Ying shook her head. “Actually, the working hours are the same. I can use the cooking time to develop some recipes and just hand them over to the food factory. It’s not really an additional burden, not tiring at all.”

Mrs. Xu sighed with relief upon hearing this. It’s fine as long as it’s not tiring. Her daughter was so young; she couldn’t afford to work herself to exhaustion for money.

Besides, earning money is mostly a man’s job, yet her daughter was capable, even more so than many men.

After chatting some heartfelt words with her daughter, Mrs. Xu couldn’t hold back and needed to step out.

Such big news, she had to show off to everyone properly. People used to say her daughter was lazy and gluttonous every day.

Now, how incredible her daughter was, truly unprecedented. Whose child could work two jobs at once like her daughter?

Mrs. Xu walked excitedly to the village entrance, heading to where the villagers gathered to chat.

“Hey, has everyone eaten? The New Year is almost here, and our village might finally have good days ahead,” Mrs. Xu said as she walked over.

If in the past Mrs. Xu never came here, this year she came more often.

People looked at Mrs. Xu with full respect, not only because she was the team leader’s wife but also because her daughter had brought them profitable business opportunities.

“Sister-in-law, have you had your meal?”

Mrs. Xu shook her head, “I ate early, just spoke a few words with my daughter at home and came out!”

“Yingying is back? Isn’t she renting a place in the county?” Sun Dcao’s voice was very loud.

Mrs. Xu, annoyed, tugged at her ear. Why so loud; she wasn’t hard of hearing, but because she was in a good mood, she didn’t bother squabbling with Sun Dcao. “She’s taking a week off and has come back.”

“Why such a long week?” many people wondered whether Xu Ying couldn’t keep up with the job anymore.

Sun Dcao, hearing this, was overly delighted. Although Xu Ying had brought them benefits, it didn’t mean these people could turn over a new leaf—envy others as they used to, mock as they used to.

“Why should she take such a long break all of a sudden? Could it be that Yingying found it too tiring?”

Mrs. Xu didn’t speak, just waiting for them to finish their discussion and then to fiercely prove them wrong.

“It’s true, Yingying has never done much heavy work since she was little. Working in the kitchen of the State-owned Restaurant must be too tiring; she definitely couldn’t handle it.

Taking a break is also fine, our family isn’t short on money anyway,” Xu Ying’s cousin-in-law spoke.

Wang Lanhua said this sincerely.

But others didn’t necessarily think so.

Mrs. Xu noticed they were all silent, watching her intently, and finally spoke up: “Oh, my daughter isn’t that delicate. It’s just that she made a name for herself at the restaurant, and the leadership rewarded her with seven days off.

Not only that, my daughter now has two jobs: she cooks at the State-owned Restaurant and also works in the R&D department at the food factory.

She may receive two paychecks a month, but she’s only doing the work of one job.

It’s because my daughter’s cooking skills are so good. She casually made a duck dish, and people noticed.”

As soon as these words came out, those who had been mocking Mrs. Xu suddenly widened their eyes in disbelief.

“Ma’am, you’re not joking, right?”

“Yeah, Team Leader’s wife!”

Mrs. Xu raised an eyebrow and shouted, “Why would I joke about such a thing? If you don’t believe me, go ask the director of their factory.

My youngest brother said both the director of my daughter’s restaurant and the factory manager adore her; they keep saying how capable she is.”

These words made the crowd feel even more uncomfortable than if they had eaten shit.

But there were also those grateful to Xu Ying for bringing them money-making opportunities, and they sent their blessings: “Congratulations, Ma’am! Yingying’s salary must be quite high from now on.

From now on, the Team Leader and you just wait to enjoy life!”

Mrs. Xu was extremely proud: “Enjoy what? I feel sorry for my daughter; she’s working herself to death.

Last month when she got her salary, she gave me and her dad five yuan each. She said it’s our monthly allowance and she’ll give it to us every month.

We have everything we need for eating and drinking; there’s nothing lacking at home, so why give us so much money?

This outfit I’m wearing, my daughter bought it for me. I used to wear another one she bought before, and she’s always buying things for the house.

That girl is just too generous with money; whenever she has a bit, it seems she can’t wait to spend it all on me and her dad.”

Mrs. Xu spoke with a look of distress.

Listening to this, everyone else felt a pang of envy.

Look at her, worrying about her daughter spending too much on her parents.

When would they ever get such treatment?

Everyone felt both sour and envious.

Mrs. Xu hadn’t finished speaking and wanted to continue, but Wang Lanhua had had enough of her boasting. She pulled Mrs. Xu aside, urging her, “Ma’am, Yingying is back now; you should spend more time chatting with her.

It’s rare for the girl to come back; she hasn’t seen you in so long, she must be missing you terribly. Hurry and go back to her.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu thought, indeed, she hadn’t seen her own daughter for a long time.

Naturally, her daughter must be missing her.

Mrs. Xu hurried home.

Seeing this, Wang Lanhua breathed a sigh of relief.

After Mrs. Xu had left, although everyone internally felt incredibly envious, they couldn’t deny that Xu Ying was truly exceptional — finding a job these days was extremely difficult.

Ordinary families couldn’t even secure one job, yet she managed two; that was truly remarkable.

“Xu Ying is really incredible. Speaking of Dong Zhiqing, he really must be blind. If he had married Xu Ying back then, with the Team Leader’s support, imagine how great his life would have been.

Xu Ying was so good to him, nearly giving him everything she had. You wonder why he couldn’t be satisfied.”

“Exactly, tell me, which girl in our village is prettier than Xu Ying? Even many girls in the county can’t compare.

I don’t know what high standards Dong Zhiqing had, not appreciating Xu Ying. Now he’s lost her, he’s just waiting for a hard life.”
