Chapter 346 Greed for Fame and Profit
Su Yunjiao looked around: "Your store's cabinets are quite beautiful. How much is this white chest of drawers?"

"The same material costs sixty, but if you want it, it'll be fifty-five," Li Yingtang said with a light smile.

She's a friend, so she's willing to earn less.

"I'll take one, specifically for storing kids' socks."

Su Yunling: "How old is the child? You're using such a big cabinet to store her socks? How many socks are you going to put in there?"

“I bought a lot. She’s my only daughter, so of course I have to pamper her,” Su Yun said proudly.

Su Yunling: "Just keep spoiling him."

Su Yunjiao sighed: "Her grandparents and her father don't like her. If I don't like her either, how pitiful is she? My mother-in-law said this morning that she will never be able to close her eyes in peace when she dies because she gave birth to my daughter."

Su Yunling was furious: "How could you say that? How are you going to answer me?"

"I didn't expect to say anything in response."

Su Yunling also hesitated when she said, "You should."

Li Yingtang thought to herself, "You two really are born of the same mother, equally useless."

Couldn't we just let her die with her eyes open?
Or ask her, as a woman, whether her grandmother closed her eyes when she died.

They never argue, no matter how hard they try.

They deserve to be bullied.

If you can't argue with someone, just get to work.

“Yingtang is better; there are no conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law,” Su Yunling said.

Li Yingtang: "." Comparing me again? You men are rich and powerful, you get paid to do whatever you want every day, but you insist on comparing yourself to a poor bastard like me. "How about we switch?"

Su Yunling chuckled: "How do we change?"

Li Yingtang: "Come to my house and experience a few days without your mother-in-law."

Su Yunjiao: "How can we possibly change this?"

Li Yingtang snorted: "See, I asked you to change it, but you're not happy about it now."

Su Yunqiao: "Are you kidding me?"

Li Yingtang gave a forced smile: "It's obvious!" She couldn't tell the difference between a joke and a truth. She understood why the other person was disliked by her mother-in-law.

They can't tell right from wrong, they believe everything people say, and they only trust their own subjective opinions.

If she marries a woman like this after she has a son, she'll slap her nine times in three days.

Su Yunjiao breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you were serious. When will the cabinet be delivered? I'll pay you directly."

Li Yingtang collected her thoughts: "If you require brand new, you'll need to wait for the factory to produce it, which will take twenty days. New products will have a paint smell, so I don't recommend putting them directly in the bedroom; let them air out for at least two months. If you need them urgently, you can take the samples from the store. They've been sitting here for over half a month, and when you get close, they only smell of wood."

"I'll take the sample." Su Yunjiao paid.

After getting the address, Li Yingtang said to Meng Qin, "Xiao Meng, go to the market and find a deliveryman. Here's the address. Ask him if he's going, negotiate the price, and bring him back."

"Sigh." Meng Qin took the note and left.

Li Yingtang inspected the sample and found that it was undamaged on the outside and clean and tidy on the inside.

She used cardboard and sponge to cover the parts that were prone to bumps and knocks.

"Yingtang," Su Yunling called out.

Li Yingtang, head down and working, asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Yunling: "Are you free after get off work tomorrow night? I'd like to invite you to dinner, and please bring Comrade Qin along. Ji Dong will also be there."

Li Yingtang: "Why are you suddenly inviting us to dinner? Wasn't it just a convenient stop on our way here today?"

"You just go."

Li Yingtang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay." Why not take advantage of it?

Meng Qin brought back the deliveryman, moved the samples, and then saw Yunling and her sister off.

I stayed in the store to greet customers and discuss orders, spending the whole afternoon busy.

After the last group of customers left, it was already dark.

Meng Qin and Zhao Xue had already finished get off work. She locked the shop door and rode her bicycle home.

A soft lamplight streamed through the courtyard, illuminating the road in front of the gate. Li Yingtang stopped the car and reached out to push the gate open. The gate opened gently.

“Ah Shan,” she said.

Ding Wei walked out of the main room: "You're off work so late?"

Li Yingtang's eyes widened slightly: "You came with Captain Xi?"

Xi Yue poked his head out: "Besides me, who else could she be with?"

Li Yingtang: "Is yesterday's problem still unresolved, or is there a new case in the team?" Or perhaps, she's after her husband's cooking skills?
Not only do you eat alone, but you also bring your wife along to freeload?

"It's resolved. A new pharmacist confused winter melon frost with arsenic."

Li Yingtang sympathized with the patients, but a pharmacist's negligence cost them their lives: "What happened after that?"

Xi Yue: "This was an accident, and they resolved it privately."

Qin Xian then walked into the courtyard and handed Xi Yue two pieces of paper. "I've written down how to take the medicine. You two can't stay up late, try to rest before 10 pm, and maintain a regular schedule. Come back in a month."

"Okay." After Xi Yue and his wife left.

Li Yingtang watched the two leave: "What were you doing?"

Qin Xian explained, "I need to regulate my body to have a child."

"Why didn't we take care of our bodies when we wanted to have children?" Li Yingtang also wanted to have healthy babies.

"If there's no problem, what's there to treat?"

Li Yingtang: "Didn't you say that a doctor cannot heal himself? I'm fine, but are you?"

"I don't have any problems, don't you know that?" Qin Xian's eyes were deep.

Li Yingtang: "." He's starting to act inappropriately again.

She changed the subject, telling them that Su Yunling had invited them to dinner. "Why would she suddenly invite me to dinner? Isn't that strange?"

Qin Xian pondered for a moment: "Is it possible that what you reported to Comrade Xue has become a fact?"

Li Yingtang was excited: "If it's as you say, wouldn't I have accomplished something? I wonder if I'll get a bonus." Decades later, discovering a spy would earn a reward of 500,000. These days, surely I'd get at least 500 yuan?

Qin Xian's lips curved slightly: "Isn't treating you to dinner a reward?"

Li Yingtang: "What's so great about the food? I'd rather have the prize money, or at least a banner, or even just some recognition."

Qin Xian smiled; she and Li Zhengui were almost identical in some ways, both greedy for fame and fortune.

Just as Qin Xian had predicted.

At dinner the following evening, Xue Jidong mentioned his identity as a Japanese citizen.

“He is indeed a spy, and I must thank you for reminding me,” he said.

"As a patriotic youth of the new era, it is my duty," Li Yingtang said sincerely.

"How did you find out?"

Li Yingtang: "Didn't Brother Xue tell you?"

Su Yunling: "No, I thought he wanted to ask your boyfriend through me to get medical treatment for his aunt."

Xue Jidong's aunt has been unwell for many years, and despite undergoing various tests at the hospital, nothing is found to be wrong.

Qin Xian had previously participated in heart surgery and was featured in the newspaper. She happened to have seen it before and thought it was just a coincidence of names, so she mentioned it to Ding Wei when they were chatting.

Ding Wei raved about it so much that she told Xue Jidong about it as well.

At that time, Xue Jidong said that he would ask Qin Xian to take a look at his aunt when he had time.

Li Yingtang summarized the events.

Su Yunling said admiringly, "You're amazing with just one word. If it were me, I would just listen and move on."

Li Yingtang smiled and said, "Yu Ri said everything else very well, but this one word just feels unfamiliar. Brother Xue, how would you deal with this kind of person?"

"Keep it locked up for now." Xue Jidong didn't intend to discuss the matter further and changed the subject to his aunt: "Comrade Qin, do you have time later? My aunt..."

He described his aunt's symptoms.

Qin Xian: "I have time. It's hard to make a judgment based on your description alone. I need to see you in person."
