After thinking it through, Cheng Yuanhui closed his eyes, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked, "Tell me! What do you want?"
At this moment, Cheng Yuanhui's mood was gloomy. He felt like a real-life "Mr. Dongguo," and the "venomous snake" was, of course, Zhou Miaomiao. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, could actually be so bold? Cheng Yuanhui seriously wondered how blind his wife was. How could she have mistaken Zhou Miaomiao for a poor kid who had just come from the countryside and been deceived?
"Uncle, I want you to find me a job in City X. Also, I want one thousand yuan." After seeing Cheng Yuanhui compromise, Zhou Miaomiao quickly made her request.
After Zhou Miaomiao knew she might be pregnant, she made this plan within an hour.
If Cheng Yuanhui was a lecher, Zhou Miaomiao would use this opportunity to hook up with him. Cheng Yuanhui, despite being older, was quite talented. Zhou Miaomiao felt that if she could seize this opportunity to become the captain's wife, it would be a true dream.
At worst, Zhou Miaomiao can blame the baby in her belly on Cheng Yuanhui.
If Cheng Yuanhui doesn't take the bait, Zhou Miaomiao plans to extort some money from him and then ask Cheng Yuanhui to find her a job so that she can still live a better life than before.
Zhou Miaomiao hadn't considered failure. After so long in the business, she'd gained considerable experience. She knew, at least, that active-duty military personnel weren't allowed to engage in scandals like rape. She knew Cheng Yuanhui, for his own future, wouldn't dare speak out.
Anyway, Zhou Miaomiao is already in hell, and she will climb out as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
Cheng Yuanhui clenched his fists tightly. If he hadn't used all his strength to control himself, Cheng Yuanhui would have wanted to smash the hateful face in front of him flat.
One thousand yuan? Cheng Yuanhui's annual salary was only a little over a thousand yuan. If he gave it to Zhou Miaomiao, would his family starve to death? Besides, saving someone would lead to such a disgusting thing, and Cheng Yuanhui really didn't want to fulfill Zhou Miaomiao's wish.
"My monthly salary is only 100 yuan, and with so many people to support, I can't even save 100 yuan a year." Cheng Yuanhui took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice steady. No matter what, he had to calm this shameless woman down for now and settle the score with her later.
"How is that possible? My cousin said you're making 120 yuan a month now, and you're going to get a raise in two months!" Zhou Miaomiao looked at Cheng Yuanhui with suspicion. Zhou Miaomiao had calculated the 1,000 yuan based on Cheng Yuanhui's salary. If she said too little, she'd feel shortchanged. If she said too much, Cheng Yuanhui wouldn't be able to pay, and any suggestion would be meaningless.
Cheng Yuanhui was speechless. Why did his silly wife tell this "cousin" everything?
"Put on your clothes first, and let's talk." Cheng Yuanhui pointed to the living room outside and said. Cheng Yuanhui kept his head turned away, not daring to look at the naked Zhou Miaomiao, not because he was afraid of losing control, but because he felt disgusted.
"No, don't even think about leaving this room if you don't agree to my request." Zhou Miaomiao shook her head. She had already figured it out in her head. By doing this, she could force Cheng Yuanhui to agree to her request as soon as possible. Of course, it would be best to wait until Cao Yuhua came back. If Cao Yuhua started yelling at her after seeing this, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Cheng Yuanhui was furious at Zhou Miaomiao's lack of shame. He was sitting at home when disaster struck! And now he couldn't hit her or scold her. This was the first time in Cheng Yuanhui's thirty-plus years of life that he had ever felt this aggrieved.
"Believe it or not, our family really can't afford so much money." Cheng Yuanhui could only turn his head away and talk to Zhou Miaomiao while praying in his heart that Cao Yuhua would not come home at this critical moment.
"Then...just give me eight hundred! Not a penny less. And you also have to find me a job, a formal one." Zhou Miaomiao thought about it and felt that work was more important. With a job, she could make money on her own.
"How can it be so easy to find a formal job? If I had this ability, would Yuhua still stay at home?" Cheng Yuanhui was almost amused by Zhou Miaomiao.
These days, jobs are divided into two categories: formal and temporary. Formal jobs are reserved for city dwellers with urban hukou. Rural residents don't necessarily need to be registered as temporary workers to apply. Of course, the pay for formal and temporary workers is also vastly different. Formal workers do light daily tasks and earn significantly more than temporary workers, who toil tirelessly. Having a formal job is like having a lifelong, iron rice bowl.
Zhou Miaomiao was stunned. Wasn't Cheng Yuanhui a regimental commander in the army? A regimental commander's rank should be similar to that of a county magistrate. How could he not even be able to arrange a job for someone? But then again, if Cheng Yuanhui really had this ability, why didn't Aunt Yuhua go to work? Without a job, no matter how much money you have, it will all be gone!
"Zhou Miaomiao, I think you might have some misunderstandings about me. Let's put this aside! Forget about the work, I'll try to get the money together, and you need to leave as soon as possible after you get the money. Is that okay?" Cheng Yuanhui wasted no time in "negotiating" with Zhou Miaomiao. It was getting late, and he had to work in the afternoon!
"I want both the job and the money. Otherwise, I will go to your boss and sue you for rape." Zhou Miaomiao was anxious and used her trump card.
Cheng Yuanhui was so angry that he could hardly speak. After a few seconds, Cheng Yuanhui found his voice: "Money and work are not trivial matters. You have to..."
"I don't care. I'll give you three days. If I don't see the money or the job after these three days, I will go to the army leaders and sue you." Zhou Miaomiao now feels that she has no way out except to cling to Cheng Yuanhui as a "straw".
"Alright! Get out of the way!" Cheng Yuanhui's face darkened as he agreed to Zhou Miaomiao's demands. It was already time to go to work, and if he didn't leave, someone would come knocking on his door, and the situation would get even more out of control.
"Remember, three days, don't think about denying your responsibility later!" Zhou Miaomiao said viciously before giving way.
Cheng Yuanhui said nothing, but walked quickly out the door with his head down.
The Chaos Orb's "time travel" ends here.
"Master, should we teach this shameless woman a lesson? She is even better at blackmailing than Zhuzhu!" Chaos Zhu said angrily.
Zhou Yuanyuan smiled.
Did Chaos Pearl want to teach Zhou Miaomiao a lesson because she was shameless? Or was it because she was even better at blackmailing than it was?
However, Cheng Yuanhui was really unlucky! His wife saved someone, but also saved him from disaster.
"Zhuzhu, let's wait a few days and see! Maybe they can find a way to solve it themselves?" Zhou Yuanyuan always felt that Cheng Yuanhui should not be so cowardly.
