Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1514 Good Luck Continues (3)
Linlang impatiently dealt with Li's father and sister-in-law's displeasure at her for turning down work, and then returned to her room.

Li Qiuyun hadn't returned yet, so Linlang took advantage of the situation and put all the valuable items that the original owner had hidden into her spatial storage.

People in this era lived in very cramped conditions, so she shared a room with Li Qiuyun.

Li Qiuyun is five years older than the original owner of this body, which is quite old. Most people would be married by now, but because Li Qiuyun wants to have a son-in-law marry into the family and also wants to find a good match, she has been delaying marriage until now.

The reason Linlang put away some of the valuables that the original owner had hidden was because Li Qiuyun had been dishonest since childhood and liked to steal things. Some of the things that the original owner had hidden were always stolen by her. Then, because the original owner never caught her in the act, the other party would deny it no matter what, leaving the original owner with no way to catch her.

Therefore, Linlang naturally had to put some of the valuable items that the original owner had hidden into her space to prevent Li Qiuyun from stealing them again.

This wasn't Linlang accusing her; this person really did steal the original owner's things—shortly after the original owner was transferred to the propaganda department, the money and tickets she had hidden in her pillow disappeared. Those were all the property the original owner had painstakingly saved for a long time, all gone.

The original owner was furious and demanded that Li Qiuyun return her money and tickets, but Li Qiuyun refused to admit it, insisting that she hadn't taken them. No matter how heartbroken the original owner was about losing all her savings, it was no use.

This Li Qiuyun, not only did she want to seize all of Li's father's property, but she also coveted the original owner's property, taking away all the property that the original owner had painstakingly accumulated over the years. It was simply too much, so when Linlang arrived, she naturally couldn't let her succeed.

Not only would she not let Li Qiuyun succeed, she would also take away Li Qiuyun's property. Firstly, to avenge the original owner, since Li Qiuyun had stolen all the property the original owner had accumulated over the years. Seeing the heartbreaking scenes in the original owner's memories, Linlang felt sorry for the original owner and thought that Li Qiuyun had gone too far. It would be unfair not to avenge the original owner. Secondly, Li Qiuyun had been stealing things from the original owner and her mother over the years, so she naturally had to get them back for them.

Linlang immediately placed the little bee in the house to see where Li Qiuyun kept her property, so she could take it later.

I will not attack unless attacked; if someone attacks me, I will be punished by heaven and earth.

Before long, Li Qiuyun returned. Linlang noticed that she glanced at her pillow, indicating that she knew where Li Qiuyun had hidden her money and was about to make her move. Of course, in the original world, Li Qiuyun was about to be transferred to the propaganda department, at which point the money would be lost, so there wasn't much time between them.

Linlang had reason to believe that the original owner of this body was lucky enough to be transferred to the propaganda department and become a cadre, which made Li Qiuyun jealous.

It's important to know that Li Qiuyun's job was transferred to her by her biological mother. After divorcing and remarrying, Li Qiuyun's biological mother also had a child, but it was a boy. Her second husband's family didn't have a son, so all the family property would go to the younger son in the future (although this is wrong, reality is cruel. In families with both sons and daughters, most families will give the property to the son, not the daughter. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a situation where Li Qiuyun and the original owner of the body, who are Li's father's biological daughters, are fighting over the property, and the property might go to her cousin Li Zhiguo). So, seeing that her eldest daughter was unemployed and facing the danger of being sent to the countryside, Li Qiuyun's biological mother transferred the job to her eldest daughter.

Li Qiuyun's birth mother worked in a textile factory, so after Li Qiuyun took over the business, she naturally also worked in the textile factory, just like the original owner of this body. She worked in the workshop, which was very hard. Seeing that the original owner of this body had entered the propaganda department and didn't have to work so hard, she was bound to be jealous. In addition, she was already dishonest, so she went all out and stole all the property that the original owner of this body had worked so hard to accumulate. It's quite normal that she wanted to take revenge on the original owner of this body and also wanted to increase her own income.

Li Qiuyun glanced at Linlang's pillow and then said, "I heard from my sister-in-law that you turned down the job in the factory's publicity department?" Linlang nodded and said, "I don't like jobs that require me to think, so I didn't take it."

Li Qiuyun was speechless. She thought to herself, "This Li Linlang is really stupid. If it were me, I would have agreed immediately. The work in the workshop is too hard."

However, it's probably for the best that Li Linlang didn't go. Otherwise, she has her mother to take care of her, unlike her, who doesn't have a mother to take care of her, yet is so lucky. She can find a job on her own without needing anyone to help her, and she even gets to sit in an office as a manager. Wouldn't that make people furious? After all, why is Li Linlang so lucky while her luck is so bad?

In fact, Li Qiuyun was also very lucky. Not to mention anything else, her mother remarried and had a son. All the property of her second husband's family would belong to her mother and son, so her mother didn't have to worry about her younger son's future. As a result, she had the leisure to dote on her eldest daughter and gave her the job.

Imagine if her mother remarried and had a daughter. Even if the husband's property was given to her child, it would definitely be divided equally with the child from her second marriage. How could she possibly get it all?

In this way, if her younger daughter is unemployed in the future, she certainly wouldn't dare to transfer her job to her older daughter.

Now, Li Qiuyun is thinking that her second husband's job will go to their younger son, and her job will go to her daughter. Isn't that Li Qiuyun's good luck?

On the contrary, the original owner's mother did not have a formal job, but was just a temporary worker. The original owner had to find a job on her own, and her luck was no better than Li Qiuyun's. It was just that the original owner had the ability and passed the exam.

Just as the two sisters were talking, they heard Li's mother calling everyone to dinner from the front. Linlang and Li Qiuyun responded and went out.

Li's father was a level six fitter at a machine factory, earning a monthly salary of seventy or eighty yuan, which was quite high in those days.

In those days, meat cost only 70 cents a pound. With his salary, Li's father could buy more than 100 pounds of meat. If it weren't for the meat coupons required to buy meat, the Li family could afford to eat meat every day with his salary.

Although pork was restricted by ration coupons and could not be purchased in large quantities, chicken, duck, fish, eggs, and other meats did not require coupons and could be freely purchased at the market. Moreover, these meats were cheaper than pork, so the Li family would occasionally eat these as a substitute for pork—as long as they were available in the market. After all, this was not modern times; even if you had the money to buy them, you still had to see if there was anything to sell.

To be fair, the Li family's standard of living was quite good. If it weren't for the shortage of supplies, they could have lived very comfortably on their salaries.

For example, there was braised fish for dinner tonight, which was lucky enough to be snatched by Sister-in-law Li. Sister-in-law Li didn't have a job. The reason she married Li Zhiguo was because she didn't have a job and wanted to avoid being sent to the countryside.

Because I'm unemployed, I have time to snag some fish.
