Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 504: Chapter 499: US$ 50

Qin Xue’s actions were neither fearful nor willful, and they were somewhat incomprehensible to others. Yet the results seemed to be so natural and reasonable.

“Qin Qiu, here is US$ 50, you and Qin Yun are living in the factory, if you need anything, just go to buy it. I can’t help you more, I hope you don’t think it’s too little.” Qin Xue took out US$ 50 and gave it to Qin Qiu and her brother.

“Qin Xue, we don’t need it. We brought some money with us.” Qin Yun was surprised to see Qin Xue take out US$ 50, because the money their parents gave them when they left wasn’t even that much.

“Yeah, that’s too much, Qin Xue. You keep it. As long as we work hard, we should be able to make some money soon.” Seeing her brother rejecting it, Qin Qiu couldn’t say anything, even if they didn’t have any money, they couldn’t take Qin Xue’s money.

“Take it; this is the living expenses Chu Molin gave me. You need money when you just arrived.

If you don’t accept it, what should you do in case you need money urgently in this unfamiliar place?

As for me, I’m in the institute, and we have a plot of land for vegetables, we can still make a living if I work diligently and grow some crops.

...
So don’t worry about me not having enough food, just take it.” Qin Xue half-truthfully told them.

“Alright then, we’ll consider this money as a loan from you. Once we start getting our wages, we will pay you back the transportation expenses and this money.” Hearing Qin Xue’s explanation, Qin Yun thought it made sense.

He, as a man, could endure some hardship, but his sister was a woman who would need money. He thought he might as well treat it as a loan.

“That’s fine, if you think that’s better, do it your way. Just pay me back when it’s convenient for you.” Qin Xue didn’t say they didn’t need to repay her because she had no obligation to give them money unconditionally.

Although US$ 50 wasn’t much to Qin Xue, it could cover two months of living expenses for an ordinary family in this era.

If she set this precedent, and then she said they didn’t have to pay her back, wouldn’t it be her fault when she couldn’t give them money in the future?

So Qin Xue intended to nip any potential troubles in the bud before they even began to sprout.

What Qin Xue was doing might make her seem somewhat unapproachable, but in order to avoid any future troubles and live peacefully, Qin Xue was willing to be the “bad person.”

“Alright, as soon as I get my wage, I’ll pay you back right away. If my first salary isn’t enough, I’ll pay you back in two installments.” Qin Yun took the US$ 50 from Qin Xue’s hand and promised.

“You don’t have to put too much pressure on yourself, I’m not pregnant yet, so we’re not in urgent need of money.” Qin Xue smiled, trying not to make it seem like she’s pressuring them.

“Okay, all right.” Qin Yun was very grateful that Qin Xue had helped them find jobs and was now giving them money for urgent needs, he was touched.

However, Qin Qiu felt a little self-conscious. Qin Xue could easily take out US$ 50, but when she and her brother arrived, they didn’t even have that much with them. The huge difference made Qin Qiu feel a little inferior.

“That’s enough. Let’s not waste any more time, or you’ll be late for work at the factory.” Qin Xue thought it was just a waste of time hanging around, they should rather go to the city and find jobs and a place to live.

“Okay, let’s go.” Qin Qiu was now eager to work and make money. She wanted to be the admirable Qin Qiu, a cut above the rest.

Once in the city, Qin Xue helped Qin Qiu and her brother settle in the dormitory and arranged their bed. Then she took them to the factory to register. After everything was arranged, she let them go with her siblings.
