The Lucky Wife of the Era Married a Rough Man With Space
Chapter 166: Crazy education
Xu Ying's words resonated deeply with Lu Daya, shaking her perspective on relationships and finances. "How can a man spend a woman's money?" Xu Ying had argued, "At best, he's a softie; at worst, he's utterly incapable, not even earning as much as a woman. What good is such a man? You'll be burdened with childbirth, housework, cooking, and still have to earn money. What's his purpose then?"
Lu Daya nodded, taking it all in. Xu Ying, feigning worry, continued, "Remember, any man who wants to spend your money is a liar and a good-for-nothing. A man who truly loves you wouldn't just refuse to spend your money; he'd move heaven and earth to earn and spend it on you." Lu Daya finally understood, vowing never to let anyone spend her money again. With her message delivered and the time approaching half past noon, Xu Ying departed.
Xu Ying's "lecture" had cleared Lu Daya's mind. When she next encountered Sun Yiliang, her previous eagerness had vanished. Sun Yiliang, feigning concern, began, "Da Ya, isn't my sister's matter too much trouble? I think it's a bit inappropriate, so she'd better not go to your house!" Without hesitation, Lu Daya agreed, "Okay, then forget it."
Sun Yiliang was stunned. He had endured teaching in this "miserable place" only because his mother insisted he look after his sister. Upon arriving in Yushan Commune, he had diligently researched Xujia Village and ultimately chosen Lu Daya. She had a job, earned money, was kind-hearted, and, most importantly, was easily manipulated. As soon as their relationship began, he had spun tales of his sister's hardships, prompting Lu Daya's compassionate offer to take her in. But now, after just two days, Lu Daya had completely changed her mind. Hadn't she promised to help him?
"Da Ya, what's wrong? I feel like you've changed," Sun Yiliang asked, feigning sadness. Lu Daya was confused, wondering how she had changed. "Don't you like me anymore?" she pressed. Sun Yiliang's anxiety flared, and he quickly shook his head, "No, why would you think that?" Sun Yiliang sighed dramatically, "I just feel like our relationship isn't as close. Maybe I'm overthinking it." Lu Daya, touched by his apparent concern, quickly reassured him, "No, you're overthinking." It was the first time anyone had shown her such tender care, and she couldn't help but feel a flutter of happiness.

However, Xu Shengcai soon shattered her contentment. When his sister informed him of Lu Daya and Sun Yiliang's relationship, he was shocked. He'd always found the two of them odd, harboring suspicions, but Sun Yiliang had vehemently denied everything when confronted. Remembering his sister's instructions, Xu Shengcai approached Lu Daya, feigning casualness. "Lu Daya, I heard there's a new movie at the cinema. Qiuye and I are going next week. You should ask your partner to take you too!"
Lu Daya's expression instantly tensed. Sun Yiliang's face darkened even more. Xu Shengcai continued, "Who is your partner anyway? So mysterious, no one knows. Such a secret romance. Are you not planning to get married? Those who don't marry are just hooligans. You're being far too bold." Lu Daya's face flushed crimson, and she cast a furtive glance at Sun Yiliang. He had looked furious moments ago, but hearing that Xu Shengcai was unaware of their relationship, he visibly relaxed.
Lu Daya witnessed this shift. After Xu Shengcai left, she couldn't help but ask, "Yiliang, are you afraid everyone will know about us? Do you not want to marry me? Are you just playing with me?" A flicker of panic crossed Sun Yiliang's face, but he quickly recovered. "No, Da Ya, I just want to wait until I save some money and have the means to stand openly beside you. I don't want others to look down on me, and it would be embarrassing for you to be with me." Sun Yiliang's acting was impeccable, rivaling that of even Dong Wenzhong. Lu Daya was deeply moved, and a pang of guilt shot through her for doubting him. "I'm sorry, Yi Liang." Sun Yiliang gently touched her forehead and smiled, "It's okay!"
Meanwhile, after collecting her wages at the restaurant, Xu Ying seized her hour of rest to rush to the food factory. She arrived just as Director Sun was about to summon her to give her salary. Seeing her, he immediately ushered her into his office with a beaming smile. He pulled out a thick wad of cash and handed it to Xu Ying, proclaiming proudly, "I told you, didn't I? As long as you work hard, your salary will be worth it. This is your bonus and commission from the higher-ups. I heard Director Hong gives you ten yuan and ten cents commission. Our factory gives you the wholesale price, so it's definitely not less as what a restaurant earns."
He continued, "Besides, we have factory workers and so many employees to pay wages to. So the commission given by the factory might not be high, just a dime per 100 yuan. But our factory has a lot of orders. We sold 200,000 yuan this month!" Two hundred thousand yuan in one month! Director Sun couldn't fathom a mere duck product generating such an income—it was equivalent to half a year's performance for their entire factory. The two hundred thousand in sales translated to two hundred yuan in commission, plus a bonus of one thousand yuan. Xu Ying took a sack and carefully placed the money inside. Director Sun watched her with envy; her salary this month was more than ten times his.
Xu Ying, her eyes sparkling with delight, clutched the substantial sum. "So much money, I'm afraid of thieves!" she thought to herself. The three hundred dollars on her taskbar suddenly seemed insignificant. A certain system, privy to her thoughts, immediately issued a warning: [Host, the women in the mission are all implicated by you, you can't be heartless,] [Read More Here]
"Shut up, you think I'm as heartless as you!" Xu Ying snapped, shutting down the system.
She turned back to Director Sun, a smile gracing her lips. With only a commission of two hundred yuan a month, When would she become a household worth ten thousand yuan? This sales volume needed to be improved! "Director, I think the performance of two, no, two hundred thousand a month, needs to be improved. We want to create foreign exchange for the country. If we can't make a name for ourselves in China, how can we convince foreigners to buy our duck products? And I have recently researched other products, which I think will be available for sale in a while. Factory director, your sales staff are not good!" Xu Ying criticized Director Sun without the slightest hesitation.
Secretary Zhang, standing nearby, visibly flinched like a quail as he listened to Xu Ying shamelessly lecture the factory director, trying to make himself invisible. This young girl had incredible nerve, daring to challenge the factory director's authority. The factory director would surely erupt in anger. Secretary Zhang, sweating profusely, desperately searched for an excuse to escape the scene.
