Wu Guozhi has been feeling very depressed lately. Even on his way to work, he's been somewhat distracted and absent-minded.
He began to hesitate between Sun Min and Su Yu. Before, he was single-mindedly focused on winning over Sun Min and then dumping Su Yu. But now things were different. Su Yu had become capable; she had become a union official. This job was respectable, which unconsciously increased his appreciation of Su Yu's personal charm.
The key point is that he also discovered Su Yu was wealthy. Marrying her would mean having the entire Su family earn money for them.
Moreover, he noticed that when he went to see Su Yu both times, she seemed different, as if she had become more beautiful...
So now, compared to Su Yu, Sun Min doesn't seem to have any other advantages besides being younger and, well, a bit smarter.
However, Sun Min had been pursued by him for so long and invested so much, it seemed quite a pity to give up now. And honestly, he had genuinely developed feelings for Sun Min. He still harbored some affection for her.
So he's quite hesitant now, wondering which one to choose.
At this moment, Wu Guozhi's inner world was like this: "Being too outstanding can sometimes be a kind of pain. You always have to face various choices. One wrong move and you can hurt a woman."
"Wu Guozhi, you bastard!"
Who, who's swearing?
Wu Guozhi turned around and saw a woman chasing after her. The woman was wearing a steel factory uniform, had a long braid, and looked aggressive.
Who is this?
“Wu Guozhi, you bastard!” Liu Mei ran over and pointed at him, cursing him again.
"Who are you? What gives you the right to swear at me?"
Liu Mei retorted, "My sister-in-law is Su Yu, who are you and me?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Guozhi's expression changed. He glanced instinctively to the side, but thankfully everyone was in a hurry to get to work and only glanced at him briefly before stopping. He quickly said, "Let's talk over there," and walked to the side of the road.
Seeing this, Liu Mei followed. She was Wu Guozhi's sister-in-law; she couldn't make a scene this time. She could only try to scare him.
Once they were on the side, Wu Guozhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "What were you doing just now?"
Liu Mei, hands on her hips, said, "You know what I'm doing. Do you think no one knows what you've been doing at the machine factory? Some of our workers are family members of your workers, and after they found out about my relationship with my sister-in-law, they condemned your beastly behavior. I'm here today to settle the score with you!"
Wu Guozhi's face darkened further. He hadn't expected this to happen. He thought that keeping Su Yu away and not letting her come to the factory would be enough. Who knew that through all these twists and turns, her people would still find out?
"Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?" Liu Mei scoffed. "What misunderstanding? I can find out by asking anyone. Do you think you can keep it a secret?"
"..." At this moment, Wu Guozhi was filled with regret. He had made his choice too soon. He had pursued Sun Min to win her over. But then Su Yu spoke ill of him at the factory, and he had already broken up with her. Now, things were a bit out of control.
Liu Meisheng threatened, "Let me tell you, I'm not only going to tell my sister-in-law, I'm also going to report you to your factory for having illicit affairs. You have a boyfriend but you're still dating other men, and you want to be like people in the old society who have concubines?"
Wu Guozhi turned pale with fright. "Well, let's talk this out. You know how Su Yu feels about me, and you don't want her to be hurt, do you?"
"I don't care if my sister-in-law is hurt or not." My sister-in-law certainly won't be hurt, otherwise she wouldn't have come up with this idea.
"...What exactly do you want?"
Liu Mei frowned. "Actually, I'm not that heartless. But..."
She felt a little uncomfortable asking for money.
Seeing the change in Liu Mei's tone, Wu Guozhi breathed a sigh of relief. "But how?"
"But why should I keep this secret for you? You haven't given me a single penny. Why should I?"
Wu Guozhi understood what he meant; they wanted something in return. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief; at least there was still room for negotiation. As long as they didn't cause trouble, everything was fine.
If this woman really causes trouble, both Sun Min and Su Yu will be ruined, and he might not even be able to keep his job.
"Hey, I have some money left over. We're family now, so you can use this for spending money."
With a painful tug, he pulled a bunch of odds and ends from his pocket, which added up to only two or three yuan.
Liu Mei saw it and looked like she had a toothache. "Oh dear, are you trying to appease the child? My sister-in-law gets more pocket money than this. Is your face worth this little bit?"
"...This is all the money I have."
"I don't care how much it costs, it has to be at least fifty yuan, twenty jin of grain coupons, and three industrial coupons. Otherwise, I'll go right now. Let's see if your reputation and job are worth that much money!"
Wu Guozhi was shocked. "Fifty yuan? Where would I get that much money? And those ration coupons? I don't have any of them."
"Your monthly salary is more than thirty or forty, right? I'm only asking for a little over a month's salary. That's a bargain for you!"
Wu Guozhi gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have that much. My salary for this month has already been spent." Even if I did, I wouldn't give it to him!
"Bullshit, it's definitely going to your mother. Anyway, I don't care what you do, you can't have less than fifty yuan. If you're not happy, I'll go to your factory right now and make a scene to get justice for my sister-in-law."
Wu Guozhi nearly choked to death. How could Su Yu have such shameless family members? These people actually entrusted Su Yu with managing their money. Was it a lie? Of course it was; those two brothers were definitely lying to him, just to get him to treat them to a meal.
