"For this alone, we owe him. We'd give him anything, even our lives, let alone a job!"
Ma Yulian's righteous moral blackmail of Li Junsheng only made him angrier when she brought it up.
In her past life, she used this excuse time and again to cover up her improper relationship with Chen Dazhu!
With a "bang," Li Junsheng slammed his wine glass onto the table.
The sudden movement startled Ma Yulian.
Li Junsheng said coldly, "You know that Chen Dazhu saved you, not me!"
"Such a good job at the machine factory, wouldn't it be better to give it to my own son? Would I be out of my mind to give it away for nothing?"
"You're speaking up for Chen Dazhu like this, showing favoritism towards outsiders. Anyone who didn't know better would think Chen Zhiyuan is your son!"
Li Junsheng's words hit the nail on the head, leaving Ma Yulian stunned and feeling both guilty and frightened.
"Yulian, Lao Li, you two stop arguing. It's not a big deal. Lao Li is right. A thousand yuan for such a good job is not a bad deal at all."
"Let's not talk about what happened back then. I'll go get the money for Lao Li right now. Let's settle it like this. Sit down and calm down."
Chen Dazhu pressed Ma Yulian's shoulder to make her sit down first.
Li Junsheng stared at Chen Dazhu, who appeared kind and readily agreed to pay a thousand yuan.
In reality, Li Junsheng could tell from his shifty eyes and sneaky look that he was clearly plotting something else.
Li Junsheng sneered inwardly, guessing that Chen Dazhu thought he would hand over every penny of his money to Ma Yulian.
This thousand yuan passed through his hands and was taken by Ma Yulian, who was once again on the same side as Chen Dazhu.
After all the twists and turns, the money will eventually return to Chen Dazhu's hands, just like getting a job for free.
That's how it was in my previous life. Even though I worked in a state-owned machinery factory, my salary was never enough.
It was because Ma Yulian took most of the money and gave it to Chen Dazhu and his son.
This time, Li Junsheng won't make the same mistake again.
Chen Dazhu smiled and smoothed things over, then went back to his bedroom to get the money.
A moment later, he came out with a thousand yuan in cash.
That thousand dollars was a lot of money in the 1980s.
Li Junsheng only earns thirty-three yuan a month.
Li Junsheng and Ma Yulian have been married for over twenty years, during which time Li Junsheng has given her his entire salary. Now, Li Junsheng doesn't know how much of the 1,000 yuan that Chen Dazhu has taken out was actually subsidized by Ma Yulian using her own salary.
In the end, he only got back the wages he was owed, and he even lost a thousand yuan.
Fortunately, we managed to recover some of the losses!
"Here you go, Yulian, here's a thousand yuan. Take it carefully."
Chen Dazhu walked over with the money, but handed it directly to Ma Yulian.
This was clearly intentional; they were deliberately preventing Li Junsheng from handling the matter at all.
"Okay, sure."
Ma Yulian was stunned for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Chen Dazhu before she understood what he meant.
Seeing Ma Yulian reach out to take the thousand yuan, Li Junsheng snatched the money away.
This action immediately displeased Ma Yulian.
This also made Chen Dazhu nervous; this money absolutely could not fall into Li Junsheng's hands.
Ma Yulian glared at Li Junsheng with her slanted eyes and demanded loudly, "Li Junsheng, what are you trying to do?"
"Of course, we should go to the factory and talk to the factory manager about this," Li Junsheng said, feigning ignorance.
"Why are you robbing me? What if you lose it? You're so clumsy, you even lose a pack of good cigarettes the factory gives you. You should keep this money safe with me!"
It's shameful that Ma Yulian had the nerve to say that the box of good cigarettes the factory gave her was something she secretly took and gave to Chen Dazhu.
This despicable couple lives a life of luxury by sucking his blood.
It's a pity he couldn't bear to eat or wear nice clothes in his past life, but these two people benefited from it.
Li Junsheng said coldly to Ma Yulian, "We won't lose it. This isn't a job we can just change on a whim. You two are in such a hurry, so I have to go and smooth things over with you."
Chen Dazhu quickly stopped Ma Yulian, "Yes, yes, Lao Li is right. We need to spend money to bribe them, and the fact that Lao Li is going now shows that he cares about Zhiyuan."
Chen Dazhu gave Ma Yulian a look, signaling her not to cause trouble, which made her swallow back the words she was about to say.
So Ma Yulian immediately changed the subject, "...Okay! Then you should use it sparingly and not buy too much stuff!"
"Do you need to tell me?"
Without any hesitation, Li Junsheng stuffed the money into his pocket, stood up, and prepared to go to the factory.
He still had alcohol in his stomach, and when he stood up, he felt a little dizzy.
At this moment, Ma Yulian pretended to be virtuous and kind, personally helping Li Junsheng up and seeing him off at Chen Dazhu's house.
"Go and come back quickly, I'm waiting for your good news."
Ma Yulian didn't forget to give Li Junsheng some instructions, clearly eager to get started.
Li Junsheng didn't even turn around. He touched the money in his pocket, sneered inwardly, and left Chen Dazhu's house.
Those two scoundrels, just you wait!
This is just the beginning!
