Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1515 Good Luck Continues (4)
Similarly, since no one was working, the cooking duties at the Li family were left to Li's eldest sister-in-law.

Of course, it wasn't all for nothing. Although the vegetables were all purchased by Li's father—he had once delegated the task to Li's sister-in-law, but she wanted to save the money for vegetables as her own money, meaning she wanted to get a kickback from buying vegetables. So she bought very poor-quality vegetables every day, and Li's father couldn't stand the poor quality of the food, so he took back the task—but he gave each family member two yuan as a reward for their hard work.

Everyone was willing to give this small amount of money because Li's father had a high salary, so each family member's salary belonged to them and did not need to be handed over to the public. Usually, Li's father would buy the groceries, so they would only give Li's sister-in-law two yuan as a reward for her hard work in cooking.

The reason why she didn't have to hand over her salary to her family wasn't because Li's father and others were kind to her; it was actually thanks to Li Zhiguo and Li Qiuyun. Otherwise, according to the rules of most families in this era, they would have to hand over most of their salary and only keep a small portion for themselves. Especially for girls, their families would probably withhold their money even more, lest they accumulate a large amount of private savings and take it to a family with a different surname, which would make the family heartbroken.

Back then, Li Zhiguo was the first to get a job—not because he took the exam himself, but because he took over his grandfather's job.

As the eldest grandson of the Li family, it's quite normal for Grandpa Li to give him the job.

However, Grandma Li was unemployed and could not give her job to her youngest son's grandson. To prevent her youngest son from saying that the old couple favored the eldest son's family, she gave him a large sum of money, based on the market price for finding a job.

After Li Zhiguo got a job, both his grandfather and father felt sorry for him because he had lost his father and mother when he was young, so they did not ask him to hand over his salary.

Li Zhiguo started working but didn't hand over his salary. So, Li Qiuyun started working, but would she hand over her salary? Putting aside Li Qiuyun's personality, she wouldn't hand it over. Even an ordinary person would ask, why doesn't Li Zhiguo, a nephew, have to hand it over, but she, his own daughter, does?

Since Li Zhiguo didn't pay, Li Qiuyun naturally didn't pay either.

If these two don't pay, then when the original owner starts working later, they naturally won't have to pay either. Otherwise, why should the eldest and second eldest not pay, but the third eldest has to?

That's how the original owner of this body was able to keep her salary. Otherwise, given that no one at home cared for her except for her mother, she wouldn't have been able to keep her salary.

Instead of mentioning that wages weren't handed over, they said they were paying for Sister-in-law Li's cooking expenses. There are nine people in the family now: Grandpa Li, Grandma Li, Father Li, Li Zhiguo and his wife, Li Qiuyun (the original body), and Li Zhiguo's two children. The four yuan for Grandpa Li and Grandma Li was given to Sister-in-law Li by Father Li, plus the money for Li Qiuyun and the original body, totaling ten yuan.

Li Zhiguo and his two children shouldn't have to pay, since they're family with Li's sister-in-law. But Li's sister-in-law didn't want to be without her own savings, so she asked Li Zhiguo to pay on her behalf, and she also had to give him six yuan.

In this way, she could earn sixteen yuan a month, which wasn't much less than what Li's mother, a temporary worker, earned.

In fact, people like Linlang who have jobs eat at home for breakfast and dinner, and eat at the canteen for lunch. So, Sister Li doesn't have to work very hard to earn those sixteen yuan, because she doesn't have to cook many dishes for three meals a day. She just has to work harder in the evening. In the morning, her family usually just eats some steamed buns, porridge, and pickles.

Although Li's father stripped her of the power to buy groceries because she wanted to keep her own money, she was at home and could always know what was going on at the nearby market. So sometimes when she saw meat and vegetables, she would grab them and then come back to Li's father for reimbursement—and then she could make a profit from it.

Like this fish today, it was Li Dasao who snatched it. So it's worth it for each person to give Li Dasao two yuan for cooking. Otherwise, if everyone in the family goes to work and no one is snatching vegetables, even if their family has a lot of income, they won't be able to live a good life.

We can't count on Grandpa and Grandma Li; they're too old to compete with the younger generation.

Meanwhile, while Li Qiuyun was taking a bath, Linlang took out the money notes that the original owner had saved from her spatial storage and counted them.

Unlike Li Qiuyun, who was extravagant and spent all her salary every month without saving any money, the original owner of this body was a frugal person who was reluctant to spend money on food or clothing. So over the years, she had saved about six hundred yuan.

There were also a bunch of tickets.

With so many things, it's no wonder the original owner was heartbroken after Li Qiuyun stole them. If it were Linlang, she wouldn't be able to accept that her hard-earned money, saved up over several years and worked so hard in the workshop, had been stolen. So Li Qiuyun really deserves to die; she's such a scoundrel.

The reason Linlang was certain that Li Qiuyun stole the money was because, besides carefully observing Li Qiuyun's reaction and noticing her subtly glancing at her pillow, which indicated that Li Qiuyun already knew where the original owner hid the money, making it highly likely that she was the thief, another reason was that in the original owner's world, Li Qiuyun, who was always broke and had no money left, had extravagantly purchased more high-end watches, clothes, shoes, etc., after the original owner lost her money. If she hadn't used the money she stole from the original owner, where would she have gotten the money to buy these things, since she was always broke?

When the original owner saw that Li Qiuyun wouldn't admit it, she naturally didn't want to let it go. After all, it was money she had painstakingly saved for many years—six hundred yuan, a huge sum of money in that era. She was about to go to the police, but Li Qiuyun was probably scared and told her grandmother about it. Her grandmother stopped her from going to the police, saying that it was bad luck for the police to come to the house to investigate such a small matter. She threatened to kill herself and forbade the original owner from going to the police, so the original owner had no choice but to let it go.

But afterwards, he naturally became more wary of Li Qiuyun.

But it was no use being on guard, because the original owner's good luck had come to an end, and all that followed was bad luck, and he wouldn't be able to accumulate any wealth.

However, given that Li Qiuyun didn't have much money, even if they took all of her money now, it probably wouldn't amount to much, and it wouldn't achieve the goal of avenging the original owner of the body.

But it doesn't matter. After a while, when Li Qiuyun finds a boyfriend, Grandma Li will give her her savings as a dowry. Then she can take Li Qiuyun's money and get revenge on her. She can also expose the fact that Grandma Li gave her savings to Li Qiuyun, making Li's older brother and sister-in-law, uncles, aunts, cousins, and others dissatisfied with Grandma Li, and make her suffer. This way, she can also get revenge on Grandma Li at the same time, so that she will treat the original owner badly in the original owner's world. When Li Qiuyun stole the original owner's money, she threatened to kill herself to prevent the original owner from reporting to the police.

After Linlang finished tidying up, she saw Li Qiuyun arrive, so she took a shower and went back to sleep.

However, before going to sleep, she checked the monitor on the little bee and found that after she left, Li Qiuyun went to rummage through her pillow. Clearly, Li Qiuyun wanted to do something.

That's good. Then she'll yell that her money was stolen, leaving Li Qiuyun speechless with bitterness.

In the original world, she really did steal it, but she stubbornly denied it, leaving the original owner with no way to get her to admit it. Fine, now that Linlang has taken the money in advance and there's no money in the pillow, Linlang insists that the money is lost, so she can also experience what it feels like to be helpless against her.
