Xia Wan didn't care what kind of trouble the Xia family was up to. After lunch, she went straight back to her room to rest, since she didn't have to go to work anyway.
She was half-asleep when she was woken up by the noise. It sounded like the Wu family had come to deliver some gifts. Old Mrs. Xia continued to grumble and curse until the Wu family left.
Xia Wan was still half asleep and too lazy to get up and watch the commotion. She only knew that the Wu family had given her compensation, and that Old Mrs. Xia was very dissatisfied with it.
Once it quieted down outside, Xia Wan regained her senses and began using the search function to look up work-related questions.
"Hey system, how many questions can your search function check at once? Why isn't that clearly stated in the manual?"
[Each session is limited to 15 minutes; you can check as much as you want as long as you don't exceed the time limit.]
"Oh, that's great! Then I won't be polite. I'll try it once first."
With that in mind, Xia Wan directly opened the search interface and first checked the recent job postings in Yongmao County.
In the first seven days of searching, I only found one job posting for cleaning toilets. And you know what? Although the job paid little and was dirty and tiring, it was quite sought after, with six or seven people already eyeing it.
Xia Wan shook her head and re-entered her more detailed requirements, changing the timeframe to within half a month.
I don't know if his standards were too high or what, but this time he didn't select a single one.
It's true that jobs are hard to find these days. No wonder some leaders' children have to go to the countryside. There aren't even any vacant positions. You can't just force them in, after all, so many people are watching.
In a fit of anger, Xia Wan extended the timeframe to six months, thinking that at least she would have a choice this time.
Surprisingly, there were actually three options this time that suited her requirements.
One of them is a purchasing agent for a supply and marketing cooperative. He will take an exam in a month. According to the system, more than 20 people will take the exam, but they will only hire two people.
Another issue is that the steel mill's personnel department is recruiting someone, but the recruitment exam can only begin two months later. However, the exams are all conducted with inside information, so it's very possible that someone might manipulate the exam results.
The other option is food factory workers, specifically general laborers. There's an exam in twenty days, and quite a few people are eyeing this job.
Of the three jobs, she preferred the first one, the purchasing department job, because that involved business trips. Business trips meant frequent changes in the map, which meant a higher chance of encountering bad people and a higher chance of earning points.
The exam was a bit late, but she could wait, and she also had time to do other things in between.
It only took Xia Wan 5 minutes to look up this information. She didn't waste the rest of the time either, and looked up everything she wanted to know.
Whether she can find the answer or not is not important. The most important thing is that she has to figure out the search function thoroughly the first time she uses it, so that she won't be unfamiliar with it when she uses it later.
And I must say, this search function is much better than Baidu. Specifically, the system knows more. For example, she just found out that Wu Guangli had actually stolen grain from the brigade.
Unfortunately, all of that is in the past. She has no evidence and can't catch them in the act.
However, according to the system, Wu Guangli recently got in touch with someone from a neighboring brigade and was planning to steal coal from the train seven days from now!
Doesn't this give her an opportunity? As long as Wu Guangli is caught red-handed, she doesn't believe she can't threaten Wu Zhaodi into divorce.
Xia Wan was focused on helping her father get a divorce and escape the "brother-supporting demon," unaware that Xia Jianguo in another room already had a plan.
"Dad, I'm going to work. The task isn't heavy today. I'll come back early when I'm done." Xia Tao said to his father as he put on his shoes.
"Go ahead, and tell your mother to come back later. Tell her about your uncle; I need to tell her, but don't let anyone else know." Xia Jianguo saw his son putting on his shoes and preparing to leave, and after much hesitation, he finally spoke up.
Xia Tao was clearly taken aback, not knowing what his father was trying to do, but he nodded to indicate that he understood.
When Wu Zhaodi arrived at the Xia family home, Xia Wan had already left.
Ever since her family caused a scene at the Xia family home, Wu Zhaodi has dared not show her face in front of the Xia family, especially in front of Xia Wan.
She wasn't truly stupid; she knew what Xia Jianguo valued most, and given the current situation, she knew that Xia Jianguo was determined to divorce her.
I just don't understand why this man called her over here now?
"What happened to my brother?" Wu Zhaodi asked as she entered the room, sitting on the stool furthest from the kang (a heated brick bed).
Although he tried his best to hide the disgust on his face, Xia Jianguo could still see it clearly, but he didn't care.
"Your younger brother, Wu Guangli, has gotten together with Widow Liu from the east end of the village. Widow Liu is already pregnant with your Wu family's child. Are you aware of this?"
Xia Jianguo got straight to the point, not worried that Wu Zhaodi wouldn't believe him, and then stared intently at her after he finished speaking.
He dreamed about this in his dream. Ever since Xia Yuanbao hit him on the head, he often dreamed about things, some of which were things he had experienced, and some of which seemed to be happening in the future.
Today can be considered a test for him, to see if the dream is real or not.
However, he wasn't sure if Wu Zhaodi knew about this, so he added a sentence after he finished speaking.
"Whether this matter is true or false, you can go back and ask Wu Guangli. This matter could be serious or minor; hooliganism is a crime punishable by being paraded through the streets."
Wu Zhaodi could no longer hide the shock in her eyes: "How did you know? Who told you?"
She's panicking right now. How could she not know the seriousness of the crime of hooliganism?
Wu Zhaodi herself only found out about this today. Her father asked to borrow money from her today because of her second brother and the widow Wu's affair.
It was only after hearing her parents' story that she realized her younger brother had made such a big mistake. But no matter how big the mistake, he was still her own brother, and she couldn't just ignore him.
Hearing her tone, Xia Jianguo knew that the matter was true, and that Wu Zhaodi already knew about it and seemed to want to protect Wu Guangli.
"Since you already know, I won't beat around the bush. Just divorce me and I'll pretend I don't know anything. Otherwise, this can't be kept secret."
"You still want to report Guangli? Xia Jianguo, how can you be so vicious? Guangli just made a mistake that all men make. We have already agreed to compensate Widow Wu."
Wu Zhaodi looked up at the person sitting on the bed in disbelief. It seemed as if she had returned to the days before Xia Jianguo was paralyzed in bed. This man always meant what he said.
But back then, he could get his money back, so of course she would obey. Now, this man is just lying paralyzed in bed, what face does he have to threaten her?
