Chapter 63: Guess Whose Work is Coveted

The Lu family was jealous of Lu Lin, and the Chen family was even more so.

"Shou Ren, did you find work?" Grandma Chen hurriedly asked Chen Shou Ren on seeing him entering the house.

Chen Shou Ren shook his head and said awkwardly, "Not yet."

Grandma Chen was very envious of the fact that Lu An had a job in town. How she wished her son could get a similar job in town as well, thus they didn't have to live at the mercy of the elements. A job in town would ensure a stable income despite drought or excessive rain.

Lu An got that job because the owner of the shop owed the Lu family a favor. Although Grandma Chen was envious, there was nothing she could do. However, Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi were different, she didn't think they deserve such good jobs.

Grandma Chen had always thought that Chen Xiao Mi was a freak who deserved to die. However, Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi had both found jobs in town, jobs with high pays.

A few days ago, Chen Shou Ren asked for a few taels of silver from Grandma Chen, saying that he was going to bribe some people to find a job in the town.

Even though Grandma Chen was reluctant to give money to her son, she thought that if Chen Shou Ren really found a job, the family would have a fixed income in the future. She gave the money to Chen Shou Ren in the end. However, Chen Shou Ren had not found a suitable job but he had spent the money.

"Did you find out where Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi are working?"

"It seems to be a place called Sino Commercial House," Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi are relatively low-key, but there are many things that need to be done by the two of them. Chen Shou Ren wandered in town every day and found that the two always showed up in that shop. Recently, Sino Commercial House had gained considerable repute for selling bags, even Chen Jing bought a bag there.

Chen Shou Ren also went to the commercial house, but they said that they were not hiring at the moment. There was a manager in the commercial house who looked quite cold.

Grandma Chen was a little depressed. "What is the boss of Sino Commercial House thinking?! To think he has hired people like Chen Xiao Mi and Lu Lin, his business is doomed."

Chen Shou Ren said sullenly, "Those two are so lucky."

Chen Shou Ren originally thought that even people like Chen Xiao Mi and Lu Lin could find work in the town. Perhaps, finding work in town wasn't as difficult as he imagined. However, Chen Shou Ren could only find manual labor jobs. Moreover, the pay was very low, and he became more jealous of the young couple.

In a depressed state, Chen Shou Ren went to the casino and lost most of his money. He didn't dare mention a word to Grandma Chen.

Grandma Chen looked at her son and said angrily, "You're so much older and more experienced than those two brats, how come you still haven't found anything?"

Chen Shou Ren didn't feel that he was not as competent as he thought. He said with grievance, "Mother! Those two brats are just lucky."

Grandma Chen snorted softly and said, "Enough excuses! Why don't you think about a way to snatch their jobs!"

Chen Shou Ren smiled awkwardly, his eyes narrowed and several thoughts flashed through his mind.

......

"Master Lin," Wan Li closed the door in the evening and found Lu Lin.

Lu Lin looked at him and asked, "What happened?"
