Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

“Of course, you can. Jiale, take your cousin Qiu to see your sister and the baby,” Nangong Shulan agreed without much thought.

“Mom, I got it. Qin Qiu, this way,” Qin Jiale stood up after hearing his mother’s words.

Qin Qiu followed Qin Jiale to Qin Xue’s room and saw her sleeping with a peaceful and happy smile on her face.

This smile irritated Qin Qiu’s heart, making her feel that she shouldn’t have come to Qin Xue’s house at this time.

“Qin Xue, wake up,” Qin Qiu reached out and pushed Qin Xue.

“Uh, Qin Qiu, when did you come?” Qin Xue didn’t expect to see Qin Qiu when she opened her eyes.

“I just arrived a while ago,” Qin Qiu replied indifferently to Qin Xue’s question.

“How come you have time to come over today?” Qin Xue knew that there was no rest when working in the workshop.

“We got our wages yesterday, so I took half a day off to come and pay you back,” Qin Qiu took the money out of her pocket.

She counted the bus fare and borrowed US$ 50 and placed it in Qin Xue’s hand.

“Qin Qiu, if you don’t have money to use, keep it for now and pay me back later,” Qin Xue looked at the money in her hand and then at Qin Qiu.

“No need, the money Xiao Yun and I brought from home is enough for us,” Qin Qiu and her siblings still had some money left from home.

So she didn’t want to continue using Qin Xue’s money, or else she didn’t know when she would be able to pay her back.

“Alright then, I’ll keep it. If you ever need money, remember to tell me, and I’ll help as much as I can,” Qin Xue didn’t say more since Qin Qiu refused so firmly.

“Okay, I’ll let you know if there’s anything,” Qin Xue stopped pushing the matter.

“How is it in the factory? Have you been bullied?” Qin Xue leaned against the headboard and asked Qin Qiu.

“It’s fine, no one bullied me. They just didn’t want to teach me at first,” Qin Qiu thought about how she still managed to learn and even did better than them, getting paid more.

She remembered what the old employees said when they got paid yesterday: “Why does a newcomer get more money than us?” The team leader had replied, “Because she’s faster and does more work.”

Truth be told, Qin Qiu was quite grateful to Chen Xiao in the factory. If it weren’t for Chen Xiao teaching her step by step, she might not have learned until now.

“Why didn’t they want to teach you?” Qin Xue knew that some people were unwilling to teach their skills to others, but in the factory, these things weren’t secrets. To complete the garments, every worker needed to know how to do the work.

But if they didn’t teach one person, the production would be halted, and the goods wouldn’t be finished.

“Because they’re afraid that I’ll do better than them once I learn,” Qin Qiu said with a scoff.

“Have you learned it now?” Qin Xue thought that if she hadn’t, she could ask Fang Hong to talk to Guo Aiguo.

“Yes, I have. Otherwise, how could I have the wages to pay you back?” Qin Qiu replied indifferently.

Qin Xue was left speechless. What was wrong with Qin Qiu? It wasn’t like Qin Xue refused to teach her; why did she act like it was her fault? Wasn’t she afraid of offending someone with this attitude?

At this moment, Qin Xue seemed to understand why others didn’t want to teach Qin Qiu.

It was because her attitude made people uncomfortable. Even Qin Xue herself didn’t want to deal with her if it weren’t for the fact that Qin Qiu was her cousin. As for others, they didn’t owe her anything; why use such an attitude?
