Chapter 250 has its own little schemes
Whether or not he would get entangled, Wu Xingbang didn't know.
Anyway, they're entangled now.
Wu Xingbang knew why Bai Ge didn't want to go back to the textile factory, so he could only try to find her another job.
Wu Xingbang went to the post office to mail a letter and pick up a package, and ran into an acquaintance.
"It's you? Do you remember me?"
Wu Xingbang was stunned for a moment before he realized, "Oh, it's you. You work here?"
Liu Man laughed and said, "Comrade Wu is really forgetful. I work at the Finance Bureau. I came here to mail a letter."
"Sorry, I've been quite busy lately, so I made a mistake."
"I haven't properly thanked you for what happened last time. Do you have some time? It's almost noon, let me treat you to lunch."
"No need, it was just a small favor, don't worry about it."
"Yes, yes. Let's go."
Wu Xingbang didn't want to argue with her anymore, so they went to the state-run restaurant together.
The two talked for a while this time, and Wu Xingbang learned that Liu Man had gotten divorced.
The reason for Liu Man's divorce is actually very simple: the man she married came from a family that favored sons over daughters. After Liu Man became pregnant, her mother-in-law had someone calculate that it was a girl and insisted that Liu Man abort the child. Liu Man was unwilling, and her family also disagreed. As a result, her mother-in-law actually mixed abortion pills into her soup and made Liu Man drink it.
This almost resulted in a death.
Fortunately, Liu Man was taken to the hospital in time. Although she lost the baby, her health was saved.
But it will definitely be tough.
When the Liu family found out, they rushed over and naturally wouldn't let them off so easily.
The two families were originally engaged in marriage, but now they have become enemies.
Later, with the strong backing of her family, Liu Man divorced her husband and even transferred him to another job. Not firing him outright was already a way of giving him face.
“The unit-owned house was originally allocated to me. I work at the Finance Bureau, and he used to work at the grain station. After this, he was transferred to the commune grain station below. Not only will his salary be lower, but his benefits will definitely not be as good as they are in the city. But there’s nothing I can do. Who told him to have such an unreasonable and stupid mother!”
Liu Man didn't think her family had done anything wrong, and Wu Xingbang also felt that the man was indeed in the wrong in this matter.
However, this directly led to the man's job being transferred, which is enough to show the power of the Liu family.
Wu Xingbang saw a similar domineering presence to Liu Lihua's family, and also the power of Liu Man's family.
But whether I can actually borrow it is another matter.
Moreover, Wu Xingbang now has a wife.
Therefore, he really doesn't dare to think about anything else right now.
"By the way, Comrade Wu, I remember you mentioned that your wife is here too?"
"Yes. However, because my current rank is not high enough, we cannot be allocated housing in the family compound, so we are temporarily living in the collective dormitory building."
Liu Man nodded: "You're still young. I remember you were a company commander, right? That's impressive!"
"No, there are many people who are more capable than me."
Liu Man gave her a knowing smile: "You don't need to be so modest. Do you have children?"
Wu Xingbang shook his head, a hint of self-reproach on his face: "My wife and I are both from Anshi. She had been pregnant before, but I didn't know. Once, when we were arguing, she blocked the door and wouldn't let me leave, so I pushed her. I never expected that I would lose the baby. I felt guilty about it for a long time."
After her postpartum confinement period, I consulted a doctor who advised waiting a year before trying to conceive again. I also felt she needed to rest and recover properly, as pregnancy and childbirth are physically demanding for women. However, she was framed by someone else, and so we still don't have children.
Wu Xingbang's words were somewhat vague, but he explained the basics clearly.
Liu Man nodded slightly, looked Wu Xingbang up and down, and had a good impression of him.
Why are you two arguing?
"It was because of some trivial matters. I am the eldest child in the family, so I send 20 yuan of my salary back to my hometown every month. She was unhappy and wanted me to give her all the money, and then we started arguing."
This reason was given by Wu Xingbang himself.
Since others didn't know why they were arguing, whatever Wu Xingbang said was accepted.
Liu Man frowned: "Just because of twenty yuan?"
"Not entirely. She's rather spoiled, and her family is well-off, so she's been pampered. I usually go along with her on small things, since she's never suffered any hardship at her parents' home before, and she shouldn't have to suffer just because she married me. So I try to share the housework with her as much as possible. But she's still not satisfied, so we have some minor disagreements."
Are you dissatisfied with your job?
"Maybe. Sometimes, because of training or missions, I might not be home for several days in a row, which makes her worry."
Wu Xingbang didn't say a bad word about Liu Lihua throughout the entire process. Even when he said she was spoiled, he didn't use that disgusted tone. It was as if he was very good to Liu Lihua.
It was precisely because of this attitude that Liu Man developed a liking for him.
"Men should focus on building their careers at this age. If you wait another ten or twenty years, your energy will definitely not be as good as it is now."
Wu Xingbang's eyes lit up, as if he had finally found a kindred spirit.
“Yes, that’s what I meant too. I was hoping to get promoted sooner so that the family compound would allocate us apartments, and then we could live together. Everything would be better, and if we had children, we could provide them with a better environment. But she can’t understand me. However, I think it’s still my fault. She’s younger than me, and I should give in to her.”
Liu Man smiled and didn't say anything more.
After the two had lunch, Wu Xingbang dropped the person off at the entrance of their workplace before riding away on his bicycle.
Liu Man stood by the second-floor window, watching the figure ride away on a bicycle, and her heart began to stir.
She is divorced, so it won't be easy for her to find a man who is good in every way, unless he is a first-time husband.
But the men I introduced to her before were all mothers.
She doesn't want to be a stepmother.
Wu Xingbang's conditions are not bad, but the problem is that Wu Xingbang has a wife. Is she going to break up someone else's marriage?
Liu Man hesitated for a moment.
Wu Xingbang had no idea what Liu Man was thinking; he was currently riding his bicycle back as fast as he could.
He finally managed to find a job opportunity through connections, but because the other party was directly reselling, such opportunities were rare. Once he got the job, it would be a permanent position, but the pay was a bit high.
And the workplace is quite good.
It's a food factory!
He had to deliver this message to Bai Ge, and he could use this opportunity to find out if Bai Ge had any money or other things hidden in her possession.
