My sister-in-law from Qingdao

After chatting with my cousin's wife for more than ten minutes, we went back to our own rooms to sleep.

When I woke up again, it was already daylight, and I could clearly hear my cousin and his wife arguing outside again.

With my cousin's lifestyle, always drunk and indulging in debauchery, taking baths and chasing girls, it's no wonder they argue.

I suddenly felt sorry for my cousin's wife. Such a beautiful woman, what did she want by marrying such a man?

As I thought about it, I laughed. My cousin can earn a lot of money to support his family, live in a big apartment, and drive a luxury car. Isn't that enough for a woman?

The arguing outside grew louder and louder, and I hesitated whether to go out and try to break it up.

But in the end, I still adhered to the principle that outsiders shouldn't interfere in family matters, and sat there quietly listening to the commotion outside.

"He's my cousin, what's wrong with me letting him work for me? What's wrong with that?" The cousin's voice sounded somewhat helpless.

"You still know he's your cousin? Since he's your cousin, you should make him sever all ties with you. You are you and he is him. I absolutely disagree. You can't bring him along with you."

That's my cousin's voice.

My cousin's wife's voice was quite loud, and I heard it clearly. Her words made my heart feel cold.

My cousin is a real cousin, but my cousin's wife isn't necessarily a real cousin's wife, since she's an outsider.

Perhaps she was afraid that I would take advantage of my cousin, so she made my cousin sever ties with me.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. He's come to me for help. If you don't let him work for me, then you find him a job."

My cousin's voice softened a little.

"Don't worry, I'll find him a job."

Their conversation left me both amused and exasperated. They wouldn't let me work with my cousin simply because they were afraid I'd take advantage of him. Why bother finding me a job then? I might as well find one myself.

Thinking about this, I laughed again. I've been in the provincial capital for three months, and I still haven't found a job. If I could find one, I wouldn't have come to Qingdao.

It became quiet outside. When I got up, it was already past ten o'clock. My cousin was fast asleep in the bedroom, while my cousin's wife was sitting on the sofa in just a nightgown, staring blankly at her phone.

Today she was wearing very short pajamas, revealing her snow-white arms and slender neck. Underneath the V-neck, one could even see her full figure.

When she saw me come out, my cousin's wife blushed slightly and hurriedly stood up from the sofa.

"The food is ready. Eat up, and I'll take you out to look for a job after you finish eating."

My cousin's wife's expression was rather indifferent, revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

I somewhat regret it. Even if I could have been a clerk in the provincial capital, I shouldn't have come to Qingdao. It would have been so bad to cause a fight between people.

The breakfast was quite substantial, but it was obvious at a glance that it had been bought from outside. I just ate a few bites.

My sister-in-law had changed her clothes. She was wearing a white shirt and khaki trousers, with the shirt tucked into the trousers, and her hair was tied in a bun.

It gives people a mature and beautiful feeling, and even carries a little bit of a sense of sophistication.

"Bring your ID card and graduation certificate, I'll go with you to find a job."

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to go, I can go by myself."

Although my sister-in-law was dressed very elegantly and became more enthusiastic at this time, I still felt that she was very hypocritical.

What was my purpose in coming to see my cousin? Wasn't it just to get him to give me a hand? I don't know what kind of business my cousin is in, but he knows so many people, so it would be easy for him to help me if he wanted to.

However, my sister-in-law strongly objected, which shows that she was afraid I would take advantage of my cousin.

"What are you saying! Aren't I your sister-in-law? I happen to have nothing to do at home, come on, I'll go with you to find her."

I had no choice but to open my suitcase, take out my ID card and graduation certificate, and follow my sister-in-law to their underground parking garage.

The underground parking garage was somewhat dim. She walked in front, and I walked behind. I stared at her back, somewhat lost in thought.

My cousin's wife is really beautiful; her figure makes me a little nervous even from behind.

Just then, my sister-in-law suddenly screamed and turned around abruptly, and we bumped into each other.

As luck would have it, her chest bumped right into mine.

That bouncy, warm feeling made my heart leap into my throat.

It took me a while to come to my senses.

"W-what's wrong?"

"I'm so scared, there's a rat!" My sister-in-law stomped her feet as she moved closer to me.

Sure enough, I saw a mouse run away from us to the other side.

"I'm sorry, did I bump into you? Are you alright?" My cousin-in-law asked as if she suddenly remembered something.

"It's alright, it's alright."

I don't know if it was because she bumped into me or what, but I could smell her fragrance on my clothes.

This fragrance is very elegant and refreshing; for a fleeting moment, it makes me feel a little absent-minded.

My cousin-in-law brushed a stray hair from her forehead and continued walking.

I quickly calmed down. This woman was very beautiful and knew how to dress herself. She was unassuming and understated, yet very refined.

But I know in my heart that she is a hypocrite. Don't be fooled by her helping me find a job; her only purpose is to keep me away from her husband.

My cousin's wife was driving, and I was sitting in the passenger seat. The woman's face was ashen as she quietly stared ahead.

She would occasionally chat with me about college, and that's when I found out she was also a college student.

After graduation, I worked in accounting. Through an introduction, I met my cousin. Seeing that he had a car and a house and was generous, the two of us got married.

After getting married, my cousin's wife quit her job and became a full-time housewife.

"You two have been married for over a year, why don't you have a child yet?"

As soon as I said those words, I felt like I was being nosy. How could a brother-in-law ask such a question? Besides, I wasn't that close to my sister-in-law.

My cousin's wife gave a wry smile and said, "You think we don't want to? But we can't have them."

"So whose fault is it?"

After asking the question, I felt like slapping myself; the topic was a bit too much.

"I don't know, I don't know if it's my fault or your brother's, but I suspect it's his fault. He drinks every day and gets drunk every day, and he doesn't seem very interested in me."

Listening to my cousin's wife's words, I felt that the two of them were quite sad.

Although I haven't known my cousin's wife for long, from our conversations last night to today, I can tell that she is an educated woman, while my cousin hasn't even finished junior high school.

When money and knowledge collide, it can sometimes lead to funny situations.

My cousin's wife took me around Qingdao's old town for half a day, but we still couldn't find a suitable job.

We had lunch on the street when my cousin-in-law suddenly asked me, "A close friend of mine owns an embroidered fabric company, and she needs salespeople. The salary is a bit low, only four thousand, but it comes with five social insurances and one housing fund. Do you want to go?"

When I was in college, I dreamed of earning at least 10,000 yuan a month, but after graduation I realized that no matter which city you are in, it's considered good if you can earn 6,000 yuan a month.

I never expected it to be four thousand yuan now.

"However, my best friend said there's also a commission, which is 0.6% of the transaction amount. If you can get an order worth 10 million, you can get a commission of 60,000 yuan."
