Liang Xiaohe was very unhappy.

When she was making money before, Hu Yong never objected to her making hair ties.

It seems like they're going to have to pay compensation now, and Hu Yong isn't trying to solve the problem, he just keeps berating her. What's the point?

"Brother Yong, how about... you go and borrow some money from Sister Chen?" Liang Xiaohe suggested, forcing herself to speak.

"No," Hu Yong refused.

Before the divorce, Hu Yong only needed to say a word, and Shen Yuejiao would hand over all her belongings.

Now, Shen Yuejiao is incredibly stingy.

That day, Hu Yong deliberately went to find Shen Yujiao during lunchtime. Shen Yujiao was eating by herself in the cafeteria and didn't mention buying a portion for Hu Yong as well.

Hu Yongcai realized that Shen Yuejiao really didn't want him anymore.

When women are ruthless, they can be far more ruthless than men.

Hu Yong guessed that if he went to Shen Yuejiao to borrow money now, she would definitely beat him with a broom and kick him out.

"Brother Yong, what do you suggest we do? You know my parents are very poor; they can't even come up with a hundred yuan." Liang Xiaohe simply gave up.

Hu Yongqi took a few deep breaths.

you do not say!

The Liang family was not only poor, but also shameless.

Every time Liang Tuyou and Liang Xiaobao saw Hu Yong, they would either ask him to buy them cigarettes or alcohol, or they would ask him how much dowry he planned to give to marry Liang Xiaohe.

It's simply impossible for Liang Tuyou to come up with money to cover Liang Xiaohe's losses.

Seeing Liang Xiaohe's "she's poor, so she's right" attitude, Hu Yong became even more irritated.

"Whatever!" Hu Yong kicked the door and went home.

Instead of wasting his time chatting with Liang Xiaohe, he might as well go home and get some sleep.

Anyway, he didn't take the fabric, nor did he use it.

Even if the supply and marketing cooperative conducts an inventory check and Director Wang discovers that Qian Youliang misappropriated the inventory and reports it to the police, it is Qian Youliang and Liang Xiaohe who are arrested.

At worst, he could leave Peach Blossom Town in two days.

On his way home, Hu Yong thought bitterly.

Having served as a junior manager for so many years, Hu Yong wasn't without his own tricks up his sleeve. At the very least, he had managed to acquire quite a few blank letters of introduction.

As long as he has money in his pocket, Hu Yong could stay out all day without going home.

Of course, leaving home to venture out into the world was Hu Yong's last resort.

Currently, Hu Yong still wants to remarry Shen Yuejiao.

Only by remarrying can Hu Yong have a chance to make a comeback.

After returning home, Hu Yong looked at the cold and deserted house and couldn't help but sigh.

If there were a pill to undo regrets, Hu Yong would buy it even if it meant going bankrupt.

Previously, Hu Yong didn't think his life was that great. Every time he saw Shen Yuejiao's pockmarked face, he felt that his life was miserable.

Unexpectedly, Hu Yong's life became even more miserable without Shen Yuejiao.

At least, although Shen Yuejiao was ugly, she was very capable at housework. After getting married, Hu Yong did absolutely no housework at home.

Shen Yuejiao took care of everything: cooking, washing clothes, taking care of the children, and cleaning.

After Hu Yong got home from get off work, he only needed to sit by the window and pretend to read a newspaper, and Shen Yuejiao would take care of everything perfectly.

If the food is a little too salty or a little too bland, Hu Yong will get angry, but Shen Yuejiao will smile and make him a new dish that he likes.

When Shen Yuejiao was busy, Hu Yong would eat at the cafeteria.

But now, without Shen Yuejiao in Hu Yong's life, he no longer receives those "emperor-like" treatments.

In the two days following her return from the farm, Liang Xiaohe took over Shen Yuejiao's "job" and carefully served Hu Yong for a few days.

Ever since Liang Xiaohe started making money selling hair ties, she spends most of her days at her parents' house. Sometimes she doesn't even come to Hu Yong's place at night.

Liang Xiaohe invited Hu Yong to her parents' house for dinner.

Hu Yong went once and then never wanted to go again.

The Liang family ate like vicious dogs fighting over food.

Hu Yong was used to eating slowly and chewing thoroughly. He had only picked up two bites of food when the plate on the Liang family's table was empty.

Hu Yong could only swallow his anger and eat.

After dinner, Liang Tuyou kept pulling Hu Yong aside, asking him incessantly when he would be reinstated, when he would marry Liang Xiaohe, and how much the bride price would be…

Hu Yong wanted to curse.

If he could be reinstated, would he still need to stay here listening to Liang Tuyou's nonsense?

Moreover, Hu Yong couldn't go to the Liang family's house for a meal empty-handed.

I bought a few dollars' worth of gifts to bring there, but not only was I not full, I also had to endure Liang Tuyou's "poisoning" of my ears.

So, Liang Xiaohe invited Hu Yong to her house for dinner several times afterward, but Hu Yong refused each time.

Hu Yong prefers to cook at home.

Although Hu Yong hadn't cooked for over ten years, he had at least lived a hard life before meeting Shen Yuejiao, and he had learned cooking skills when he was a teenager.

Qian Youliang arrived while Hu Yong was having dinner.

Qian Youliang's eyes lit up when he saw a plate of stir-fried cabbage and a plate of scrambled eggs on the table.

She truly lives up to her reputation as a leader; she cooks two dishes for one person, one of which is a meat dish. Unlike her family, who rarely eat scrambled eggs, perhaps once a month.

"Cousin, are you eating?" Qian Youliang said with a smile.

"Mm," Hu Yong responded, speeding up his eating.

"Your food is pretty good today. Do you have any wine? I..." Qian Youliang was about to say that he would sit down and have some with Hu Yong.

Hu Yong had already scooped half a plate of scrambled eggs into his rice bowl and ate them in a few bites.

Hu Yong knew Qian Youliang's character; he was greedy and couldn't resist eating delicious food.

If Hu Yong hadn't eaten faster and waited for Qian Youliang to sit down and start eating, would Hu Yong have gotten any of these eggs?

In the past, his family was well-off, and they would come over for a meal every now and then, which Hu Yong didn't mind.

Now that Hu Yong has lost his job, he may have a lot of money, but he doesn't know how long it will last!

Hu Yong was unwilling to give money but took advantage of the grain.

Qian Youliang watched as Hu Yong ate all the eggs, swallowing hard, feeling somewhat unhappy.

My cousin is really something; he's become quite stingy since he stopped being the town mayor.

Is it really worth him being so protective of a plate of scrambled eggs?

After finishing his meal, Hu Yong put down his chopsticks, seemingly oblivious to Qian Youliang's displeasure, and asked casually, "Youliang, is there something you need?"

"Cousin, Zhao Tianyu is back from his business trip. He came to the warehouse for a stroll this afternoon," Qian Youliang said, remembering his business.

"Something's up?" Hu Yong sat up straight and asked.

"Zhao Tianyu seemed suspicious, he kept looking at the corner where the fabrics were stored, and even asked me if the fabrics were selling well recently," Qian Youliang said.

"What did you say?" Hu Yong asked, a hint of nervousness in his expression.

“I said no, the outbound volume is the same as before,” Qian Youliang said, rubbing his hands together.

"Oh no. Why don't you just say that the outbound volume is indeed larger than before?" Hu Yong frowned.

“If I say that, what will happen when Zhao Tianyu checks the accounts? The inventory and the accounts don’t match, he’ll definitely report it to Director Wang.” Qian Youliang said somewhat indignantly.
