Zhao Guohui fell silent. Honestly, a job at a supply and marketing cooperative was still quite popular these days, especially since Xu Liqin was in charge of a counter dedicated to non-staple foods, where sugar and other items were in limited supply. Some relatives, wanting to buy more than half a pound or two, would even come to Xu Liqin to speak her mind.
If it weren't for the incident of misappropriation of supplies, Zhao Guohui would have been reluctant to quit his job at the supply and marketing cooperative.
The misappropriation of supplies wasn't entirely Zhao Guohui's fault; Manager Wang, who distributed the supplies, bore far more responsibility. However, the police only detained Zhao Guohui to assist in the investigation, leaving Manager Wang unpunished. During his two days in the police station, Zhao Guohui reflected deeply on the matter; even he couldn't believe it if someone wasn't behind this.
This was the biggest reason Zhao Guohui reluctantly gave up his position as director of the supply and marketing cooperative. In this position, Zhao Guohui had to do a lot every day, and the more he did, the easier it was for someone to exploit him. With an enemy lurking in the shadows, Zhao Guohui could foresee that his future would be difficult.
Xu Liqin was unwilling to give up her current comfortable life and follow him to wander around, which might be the best choice.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Guohui raised his head and said, "Liqin, if that's the case, let's separate! I don't know when I'll be back. You're a good woman, and I don't want to delay you."
"Guohui, Guohui, I don't want to separate. I'll just wait for you at home, is that not okay?" Xu Liqin shook her head and looked at Zhao Guohui with hope in her eyes. She just didn't want to wander around in the unknown outside, not to leave Zhao Guohui! Did Zhao Guohui misunderstand?
"Liqin, you know that the house we live in now belongs to my father, so I can't give it to you. The money I paid for buying supplies last time will be returned after the new year, and I will give you half of it then. If you are not happy living in the Xu family, you can live in our house temporarily and move out when you have a place to live. Of course, if the house is useful to me, you can only live there until then. Do you think this is okay?"
Since Zhao Guohui had made up his mind, he didn't waste time talking to Xu Liqin and directly divided their property.
To be honest, since Xu Liqin got married, she'd been using her meager salary to support her parents' family, and she'd spent almost all of it every month. The money Zhao Guohui and Manager Wang had put in to buy supplies last time was about 400 yuan, and if they gave half to Xu Liqin, that was still around 200 yuan.
Two hundred yuan was equivalent to Xu Liqin's salary for almost two years. It was not a lot, but it was not a small amount either.
"Guohui..." Xu Liqin's tears flowed out. She didn't expect that even if she didn't want to follow Zhao Guohui, Zhao Guohui had already arranged everything for her in the future. She was not worthy of such a man of integrity. Over the years, the Xu family had also held Zhao Guohui back a lot. Take this opportunity to let him go!
Zhao Guohui and Xu Liqin each had their own thoughts, but they finally reached an agreement on divorce.
As Zhao Guohui walked out of the hospital, he took a deep breath. The air was cold, and Zhao Guohui took a deep breath. It was icy cold at first, but after being warmed by his body, it gradually became the same temperature as his body. Now, if he tried to feel the cold air inside his body, he could no longer find it.
If life could only remain as it was when we first met, why would the autumn wind bring sorrow to the painted fan? Perhaps this sentence best expresses Zhao Guohui's mood at this moment.
Zhao Guohui exhaled deeply, as if he was exhaling all the depression in his body.
It was already noon, and the sun shone warmly on Zhao Guohui. Thinking of his family in Zhaojiagou, Zhao Guohui pedaled on his 28-inch bicycle and quickly headed towards Zhaojiagou.
Qingshan City, Municipal Party Committee Family Compound, Wen Family.
Wu Xiuli has been very busy these days.
When Feng Xueying was discharged from the hospital and returned home, Wen Yiran discovered that his new housekeeper was missing.
Seeing that Wu Xiuli and her daughter looked guilty, Wen Yiran could guess why Aunt Wang left even with his toes.
When Aunt Wang came, Wen Yiran's second son Wen Yuxiang came back specially to tell her that Aunt Wang was the gold medal housekeeper in the logistics department. She should have been on annual leave, but he saw that it was inconvenient for his parents to live without a housekeeper, so he specially asked Aunt Wang to help.
Aunt Wang was a hardworking and tight-lipped household worker. After two days at the Wen family's house, Wen Yiran had grown accustomed to the dishes Aunt Wang cooked and the house was kept tidy and neat, which pleased him greatly.
But less than two hours after Wu Xiuli and her family returned, Aunt Wang left in anger. I really don't know what Wu Xiuli's brain is used for. If it weren't for the New Year, Wen Yiran would have wanted to drive Wen Yulong and his family back to N City.
Feng Xueying had just recovered from an illness, but she was still very weak, so Dr. Hu told her to stay in bed for a few days.
Wang Qiuyan has been taking care of Feng Xueying in the hospital these days and is exhausted.
As soon as Feng Xueying was discharged from the hospital, Wang Qiuyan hurried back home to catch up on her sleep, otherwise if she continued like this, she would soon fall ill.
Now, all the kitchen work fell on Wu Xiuli.
When in N City, Wen Yulong spent more than half a year in the army due to work needs. Wu Xiuli usually cooked for herself and took care of her two children, but she didn't feel tired.
In Qingshan City, there are at least ten people, including the old couple of the Wen family, Wen Yuxiang's family of three, and Wen Yulun, a bachelor, not counting Wen Ziqing who went to Zhaojiagou.
Wu Xiuli was busy preparing meals for ten people all day, and she almost collapsed from exhaustion.
However, Wu Xiuli did not dare to complain. Who made her and her daughter look for trouble and drove Aunt Wang away?
However, the heavy housework made Wu Xiuli feel angry and she always wanted to find an opportunity to vent.
Some people are just like that. Faced with someone stronger than themselves, no matter how frustrated they are, they can only endure it. When their anger reaches its peak, they always look for someone weaker than themselves to vent their anger on. Wu Xiuli was no exception. A few days after returning home, Wu Xiuli hadn't seen Wen Ziqing. Chinese tradition: whether rich or poor, one returns home for a good New Year. Wen Ziqing had gone to learn a trade, not to sell himself into slavery. Not coming home for the New Year? That's outrageous, isn't it?
"Dad, doesn't Ziqing know we're back? Why hasn't he been seen for so many days?" One day, after Wu Xiuli finished cleaning up, she saw Wen Yiran sitting on the sofa drinking tea. She hurriedly dragged a stool over and sat two meters away from Wen Yiran.
Wen Yiran raised his eyelids and glanced at Wu Xiuli without saying a word.
To be honest, Wen Yiran didn't like his eldest daughter-in-law. Wu Xiuli looked quiet and gentle, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, but Wen Yiran always felt that she had a sense of unreality.
