Ding Jianguo is now the team leader and has the status of a cadre. His monthly salary is over eighty yuan, and his wife Chen Na's salary is over sixty yuan. In addition, he has invested in Xu Damao Restaurant. Except for a period of time when there was no business, he can receive three or four hundred yuan in dividends every month.
The combined income from these transactions is equivalent to his salary, so how could he possibly be short of money?
But if he's keeping a mistress outside, it would be strange if he wasn't short of money.
He couldn't touch the family's money, as it was all finite, so he could only think of finding another way to make money outside.
However, bringing goods from the south is something we can't do.
"Jianguo, has Nana's trip back to her parents' home these past few days been related to this matter?"
"No, brother-in-law, it's just that I'm away on a business trip, and she said she'd take the kids back to stay for a few days. I'll pick her up tomorrow."
"Are you sure no one knows about your affair with that woman?"
"Absolutely not, I'm always very careful."
How often do you two see each other?
"At most once a week, and if I'm on a business trip, we might only see each other once a month."
Looking at his brother-in-law sitting across from him, Li Chu really wanted to go over and slap him across the face.
You get all worked up over a little bit of a good life, huh?
If it weren't for Ding Qiunan, he would have definitely stormed off right now and wouldn't have bothered with this ridiculous mess.
Suppressing his anger, he continued, "How much money do you give her each month?"
"It's only about 10 or 20, maybe 20 or 30 at most, plus some more votes."
Li Chu was at a loss for words. If there were no special circumstances, he and Ding Qiunan would only spend about 10 or 20 yuan a month on food.
The average monthly income of workers across the country is only forty yuan. You dare to give so much every month? Do you really not want this family anymore?
"Let me tell you, Ding Jianguo, if you don't handle this matter well, you will definitely be exposed. Don't think that just because she hasn't asked you to divorce her now, she definitely won't in the future."
Everyone has desires. When she feels that the money is no longer enough, have you thought about how to end things?
Don't tell me you're bringing back goods from the south to sell. If you get caught doing that, you'll definitely lose your job, and you might even end up in jail.
Doesn't Ding Jianguo know these things?
He certainly knows this, and he understands the principle that greed is insatiable, and there are already signs of this already.
The amount of money he just told Li Chu about each month is actually problematic.
At first, he only gave me five yuan a month, plus a ticket.
Later, it gradually became ten yuan, then twenty yuan, and after the Spring Festival this year, it even became thirty yuan. He was already in a bit of a dilemma.
If he didn't meet the woman's demands, he was afraid she would cause a scene at his workplace, and if that happened, he would be in real trouble.
“Brother-in-law, I know now that things can’t go on like this. I’ve thought about breaking up with her, but I don’t know how to bring it up, and I’m also a little worried.”
What are you worried about? What else could it be?
Li Chu was furious, but he couldn't just ignore it; he couldn't just stand by and watch his brother-in-law lose his job and get divorced.
If it really comes to that, the father-in-law and mother-in-law will probably be so angry that they'll be bedridden and unable to get up.
Looking at his brother-in-law, who was almost forty, Li Chu sighed with a headache and asked, "Where does that woman live?"
"It's not far from our side."
"Where did this house come from? Is it her own? Or did her husband leave it behind?"
"I...I rented it for her."
"Holy crap!" Li Chu glanced at Ding Jianguo speechlessly; he didn't even have the energy to curse anymore.
Does she know where you live?
“She only knows that I have a house in the family compound, she doesn’t know about this area.”
"Phew... Have you really thought about breaking up with her?"
"Brother-in-law, I've made up my mind. I really want to break up with her. I don't want to lose Nana."
"If you're saying you don't want to lose Nana now, you'd be long gone. Can't that thing around your neck control your little brother? Or is it that you only think about things from below?"
This time, Li Chu didn't give his brother-in-law any face at all and started cursing him right away.
Ding Jianguo blushed and lowered his head after being scolded by his brother-in-law.
"If I don't ask you this time, how long are you planning to keep this a secret?"
"Brother-in-law, to be honest, I've been thinking about how to solve this problem for a while now."
Have you thought of a solution?
"I think, should we just give her a lump sum of money all at once?"
"If you give her too much, she won't be able to afford it; if you give her too little, she definitely won't agree. So, how much are you planning to give her?"
"I...I don't know either."
"Ding Jianguo, you simply cannot bear the consequences once this matter is exposed. Why did you do it in the first place?"
My Healing Game
"Brother-in-law, it's all my fault. I really want to change this time, and I promise I won't make the same mistake again. Please, please help me this time."
Li Chu understood that he had to deal with this matter no matter what, even if it eventually became a public issue, the necessary actions had to be taken care of.
He sat there with his eyes closed, pondering deeply.
Seeing this, Ding Jianguo kept his mouth shut and didn't dare to make a sound. He could only hope that his brother-in-law could help him think of a solution.
After a while, Li Chu opened his eyes and asked, "Is she going to work tomorrow?"
"superior"
"Here's what you do: tomorrow morning, find an excuse to go to your workplace and wait in your office. Someone will come looking for you. Then, try to arrange to meet that woman and have a proper talk to see how to resolve this matter."
Also, after this incident, you won't be working at the district bureau anymore. I'll try to transfer you to the city bureau. As for being a team leader, don't even think about it.
After listening, Ding Jianguo's mouth opened and closed, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't utter a single word and simply nodded helplessly.
He knew that resolving the matter and transferring himself was the best course of action, because if he continued working there, the woman would eventually come looking for him again.
If she were transferred to a more distant location, even if she wanted to find her, it wouldn't be so easy.
As for the house in the family compound, the two of them don't go back to live there at all now, so it doesn't matter to the woman even if she knows where it is.
Of course, sending someone else was partly to help Ding Jianguo negotiate, which was better than the two of them having a breakdown in their negotiations. The most important reason was also to scare her a little.
"Brother-in-law, I'll do whatever you say, but could you please not let my sister know about this?"
"I understand. Okay, I'm going now to go find someone." With that, Li Chu stood up.
"Mom, I'm going now!"
