Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Go Be a Sales Manager

At the time, Qin Jiqun had rushed over in a panic, claiming his son had been hit by a car and was on the verge of death. He said he needed money for an operation, that he would take the money to the hospital first, and told Sun Jianhua to go back and get help.

Sun Jianhua had five hundred yuan on him for procurement, plus some of his own cash. He gave almost all of it to Qin Jiqun. When Sun Jianhua returned and found his wife, Qin Na, she told him, "You’ve been scammed by my third brother!"

Sun Jianhua didn’t believe her at first. Without alarming Qin Zhonghui and his wife, he first went and checked every nearby hospital. None of them had a child who’d been admitted after a car accident.

Only then did Sun Jianhua realize he’d been scammed. But he and his wife were too ashamed to go to the courtyard house, so they just stayed here, arguing miserably.

After all, that was five hundred yuan!

In the end, Sun Jianhua said, "Let’s just take money from our savings to cover it for now."

"Yeah, I guess we have to. Third Brother will definitely never pay it back," Qin Na said, equally miserable.

Qin Jiao, who had been listening from the side, understood everything. ’So this is the third time he’s been scammed! My uncle, the future fruit tycoon!’

’After getting scammed this third time, his fortunes are about to turn. Everything he does from now on will go smoothly, and he’ll slowly become one of the nouveau riche!’

’I just never thought the third time would be at the hands of my own uncle, Qin Jiqun...’

Qin Jiao walked over and said, "Don’t worry about replacing that money. I’ll take care of it."

Qin Na grew frantic. "Absolutely not! Your uncle was the one who was scammed, so it’s our responsibility to repay it!"

Sun Jianhua chimed in, "Xiao Jiao, your aunt is right. You can’t cover this for us."

"How about this, then? You guys just got here, so it can’t be easy to save up. And Xiao Cheng has kindergarten expenses. Let me cover the cost for now. You can pay me back at the end of the year when you’re earning a little more. Okay?"

Qin Jiao only said this because she was being considerate of her aunt and uncle’s pride.

Her uncle had been scammed before, so they didn’t have much money left at home. Coming up with five hundred yuan all at once would be a huge strain on them.

Qin Na and Sun Jianhua’s current salaries were not low. With no other major expenses for now, they could save money quickly. Still, they needed to keep some cash on hand for daily life, and Xiao Cheng’s schooling was another expense.

Sun Jianhua and Qin Na exchanged a look, then nodded. "Okay!"

Qin Jiao then told them how Qin Jiqun had brought Xiao Tao to the courtyard house the day before to cause a scene. She concluded, "I’ve already asked Uncle Beidou to help me buy a dog. The next time they show up at the courtyard, I’ll set it on them. As for that little terror, Sun Tao, I’ll beat him up every single time I see him!"

Being scammed had made Sun Jianhua furious too, but out of respect for Qin Na, he ultimately kept his thoughts to himself.

Qin Na, however, felt no need to hold back. "My third brother has some serious nerve," she said, exasperated. "How dare he ask for a management position at the clothing factory? That gluttonous, lazy bum couldn’t even handle being a regular worker! Mom and Dad have always doted on him, and now they’ve completely spoiled him rotten!"

"’Spoiling a child is as good as killing them.’ It’s a shame Grandma and Grandpa will never understand that principle. Anyway, let’s not talk about them. By the way, Uncle, our sales department needs someone to go out and drum up business. Shen Yi has to focus on his studies, and Chen Sheng needs to hold down the fort at the factory most of the time, so... are you interested in running sales?"

Sun Jianhua froze, stunned by the offer.

’I just lost five hundred yuan. How can Xiao Jiao be placing so much trust in me all of a sudden?’

’A sales manager... That’s a crucial position for the entire factory!’

Although Sun Jianhua was very tempted by the sales position—it would let him travel and see more of the world—he hesitated before saying, "Xiao Jiao, I’m worried I’m not up to the task."
