Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 547: Chapter 542: Qin Qiu and Her Sibling

After work, Qin Qiu returned to her dormitory, massaging her aching arms before heading for a shower. It had been a long night shift, and she was fairly exhausted.

Having worked for so long, she could finally collect her first salary today. She wondered how much it would end up to be.

When she first started learning how to make clothes, the experienced craftsmen were unwilling to teach her. It was only later that team leader Chen Xiao painstakingly taught her everything.

Originally, both Chen Xiao and Chen Xiang were supposed to go outdoors for business, but they couldn’t both leave home at the same time. One needed to stay near home to help with family affairs, and the workload in the factory was too immense to handle alone.

So, after discussing it with each other, the siblings decided that sister Chen Xiao would continue her role as team leader in the workshop, while brother Chen Xiang would run the business in another province.

In this way, the siblings not only took care of their home but also earned money.

Through the siblings’ joint efforts, their family’s economic conditions improved, and their standard of living improved significantly.

...
When Yang Xiao learned that Qin Qiu was Qin Xue’s cousin, he appreciated Qin Xue’s cultivation of him and his sister. Hence, he passionately taught Qin Qiu about making clothes.

Qin Qiu was a quick learner. After ten days of instruction, she was able to slowly make clothes on her own. Now, more than a month afterward, Qin Qiu’s pace was even faster than those experienced workers.

Qin Qiu wasn’t aware that Chen Xiao’s dedicated teaching stemmed from Qin Xue’s influence.

Qin Qiu was determined to change herself, so she studied fiercely during her training period.

It was only when she managed to work faster than those experienced hands that she felt her hard work had not been in vain.

Since she was paid by piece-rate, Qin Qiu did not rest while she worked.

As a result, after she finished work every day, her hands ached terribly.

She knew that to alleviate the aching, she had to apply heat to the sore areas.

After showering, Qin Qiu went straight to bed. Once she received her salary, she would ask her brother if they could start repaying Qin Xue.

Only after coming here did Qin Qiu realize that society wasn’t what she had imagined it to be.

She thought the competition she had seen before was fierce, but she had learned more in the short span of a little over a month than the previous one-third she knew of.

Thanks to Chen Xiao’s help, she wasn’t ridiculed by others. Otherwise, she didn’t know what she would have become.

Luckily, she had persevered, and other people couldn’t target her as they did in the beginning.

After contemplating all these thoughts, Qin Qiu began to rest. She had to collect her wages in the afternoon and work at night. She couldn’t afford to waste any more time.

The work Qin Yun did here was somewhat akin to doing odd jobs.

Wherever they were short-handed, that’s where he’d be working.

The advantage of such a job was that he could learn how to handle any role.

The arrangement was specifically made by Guo Aiguo.

The reason Guo Aiguo assigned Qin Yun rather than Qin Qiu was that Qin Qiu was restless. In contrast, Qin Yun could settle down and work diligently. Such a person, when promoted, could make something of themselves.

So, Guo Aiguo wanted to cultivate Qin Yun. In his opinion, such an honest and low-skilled person, would probably work with gratefulness once he learned the ropes.

What Guo Aiguo valued was precisely this mentality and character of Qin Yun’s.

He believed that Qing Xue placing the siblings in this environment must have hoped to observe and mold them. Given their common interests, Guo Aiguo was happy to help Qin Xue.

Qin Xue was unaware that Guo Aiguo had grasped her intentions without any hints and was cooperating so well.
