Chapter 235 Preparing to Make a Move with Gold
Having said all that, how could Liu Lihua not believe it?
However, this incident still left a thorn in Liu Lihua's heart.
Wu Xingbang doesn't have much money left, which is obviously incomparable to what he had in his previous life.
In his previous life, he kept most of his salary in his own hands. Apart from the money he sent back to his hometown, he spent it all on Baige and her baby.
So in her previous life, Bai Ge lived a very comfortable life, while Ye Nuan, the legitimate wife, lived a life of unbearable suffering.
But this life is different.
With all his wages handed over to Liu Lihua, Wu Xingbang naturally found himself short of money.
However, this did not stump Wu Xingbang.
Of course he has a way.
For example, he deliberately took a letter asking for help home and then remained silent and looked very worried, which naturally caught Liu Lihua's attention.
Wu Xingbang himself didn't say anything, and even deliberately put the letter in his pocket.
Liu Lihua, being sensitive, thought that some female comrade had written him a letter, so she took advantage of Wu Xingbang's absence to find the letter and read it.
It turned out to be a letter of appeal from one of Wu Xingbang's comrades.
Breaking her leg and needing surgery, while still ensuring her two children go to school—tsk tsk, that's really tough.
In this way, Wu Xingbang got two hundred yuan from Liu Lihua without any effort, and he praised Liu Lihua and thanked her again and again.
Liu Lihua was extremely proud of herself.
In her view, the man she chose was warm-hearted and helpful, and with such noble qualities, he was unlikely to be the kind of scumbag who messed around outside.
Therefore, it must be that Ye Nuan is jealous of me, which is why she deliberately did that to affect me.
Since then, Liu Lihua has been rude and dismissive whenever she sees Ye Nuan.
Ye Nuan could tell from her behavior that Wu Xingbang had brainwashed her.
Haha, that's really impressive!
It has to be said that Wu Xingbang has an honest face, and anyone who sees him at first glance would think he is an honest person.
In reality, it is these honest-looking men who are the most terrifying.
Wu Xingbang already had some money saved up, and with the two hundred yuan he swindled from Liu Lihua, he was naturally able to settle the mother and baby pigeons.
Although Wu Xingbang treated Bai Ge and her baby very well, he was not really a fool.
He soon realized that Bai Ge must have some savings.
But he didn't reveal it, because one day he overheard some shocking news.
Perhaps this is his chance.
Wu Xingbang took good care of Bai Ge, but still revealed that he was short of money. After the last incident, the Liu family had specifically called him to give instructions, and his salary was all handed over to Liu Lihua. Now, he was barely able to afford to rent a house.
“Brother Xingbang, I’m already very grateful that you helped us find a place to stay.”
"Bai Ge, don't say that. It's my fault. I thought Liu Lihua was an honest and sensible person, but I didn't expect the incident last time to cause such a big fuss. The Liu family is also very dissatisfied with me. I had no choice. Otherwise, would I let my brother lose his job?"
When this was mentioned, Bai Ge fell silent.
The Liu family does indeed wield considerable influence in Anshi.
They are not to be trifled with.
And so what if Wu Xingbang is the company commander?
Just by looking at the fact that the Liu family was able to get Liu Lihua a teaching position, you can tell that the Liu family has quite a lot of connections.
In this situation, it's best not to provoke the Liu family any further; otherwise, the Wu family simply cannot withstand their retaliation.
Bai Ge couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes when she thought about the days she was locked up in Anshi.
She wished she could kill Liu Lihua with a single blow.
But she also knew she didn't have the ability; if she really killed someone, she would have to pay with her life.
“I found you a temporary job at the textile factory, but it requires a down payment of 300 yuan. I have some connections with the manager there, and after much pleading, they could only lower it to 280 yuan, no less.”
The white dove was tempted.
Two hundred and eighty yuan for a temporary job may not seem like a good deal, but if she manages to get it done, she'll have a job here, her household registration will be settled, and she'll be able to eat the government-supplied food.
Otherwise, she's basically eating expensive food every day, how could anyone afford to feed her?
Besides food, having a household registration offers many other benefits, at least she no longer needs to find a way to extend the letter of introduction she has.
The investigation is quite strict now; she can't just be a vagrant.
After Bai Ge's eyes flickered a few times, she whispered, "Brother Xingbang, although I don't have much money on me, I brought some things with me when I came out this time. They were all left by Lao Fang. Could you help me exchange them for money?"
The white dove told half the story and kept the other half hidden.
She had money, but she couldn't say it directly, much less let Wu Xingbang know. Besides, she also realized that carrying those things around was somewhat dangerous. If she could ask Wu Xingbang for help, she could not only solve her current predicament, but also let Wu Xingbang know that she wasn't entirely useless.
"Okay, let me take a look."
The white dove took out two small yellow croakers, followed by a gold bracelet studded with gemstones.
Wu Xingbang's eyes flickered when he saw the item.
Do you know how much this little yellow croaker weighs?
Bai Ge nodded: "Old Fang said this one weighs half a jin."
"Okay, I'll take one to check the market price first, and get back to you later."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xingbang. You be careful too."
"rest assured."
These things were actually given to her by Bai Ge's lover, but Bai Ge couldn't say anything. Fang Datong also died in an accident, so it all depended on what she said.
In 1970, the price of gold was $35 per ounce, which was about $2.77 per gram.
In the past two years, due to the influence of global economic and political factors, the price of gold has risen rapidly, which translates to about eleven yuan per gram.
After making inquiries on the black market, Wu Xingbang returned and told Bai Ge that the price of gold was currently unstable.
“Some people said they could buy it for ten yuan, but I didn’t think they were good people, and I was afraid of being ripped off again. Another person said they could buy it for nine yuan and fifty cents. I knew this person before, and he was the safest, but the price was low. Besides, he had someone protecting him, so if something happened, he wouldn’t be able to implicate us.”
Bai Ge was a bit conflicted. When she went to the black market in Anshi last time to inquire about the price of gold, it was about nine yuan. Now that she heard two different prices, she was unsure what to do.
"What does Xingbang think?"
"I think we should play it safe. The main thing is to get the money and settle your job first, so you won't have to worry about being investigated by the police in the future."
