Chapter 24 Selling the House?
"Just look for it!" Wu Maocai shouted.
His wife was startled at first, but after she came to her senses, she immediately turned fierce and shouted in a loud voice, "What are you shouting for!"
After being the director for a few days, you've forgotten who you are, haven't you?
Have you forgotten who got you out of the detention room?
"Have you forgotten how you became the secretary in this county government office?!"
She even rolled up her sleeves.
This is to get him.
Looking at his wife, who was even stronger and taller than him, Wu Maocai felt a sudden chill.
If it really came down to a fight, I wouldn't stand a chance against them.
At the time, his wife and Xie Changhe's wife got along well.
After Qiao Yong was arrested, Wu Maocai, who was the deputy director of the office at the time, was also taken away for questioning.
Wu Maocai's wife, Qin Hongmei, kept making moves outside, and eventually took out all the gold jewelry that her family had given her as dowry and gave it to Xie Changhe's wife's younger sister.
Yes, it was given to her sister.
The three women were chatting when Qin Hongmei handed the items to Xie Changhe's wife's younger sister.
He said he felt a connection with the girl, that she seemed familiar, and that it was a small gift to mark their meeting, so they could keep in touch.
In truth, all three women knew that this wasn't a greeting gift at all; it was a pledge of allegiance.
Xie Changhe's sister-in-law accepted the gifts very sensibly. She knew that her older sister couldn't accept these things, so she accepted them on her behalf and would secretly give them to her sister later.
Xie Changhe's wife agreed to get Wu Maocai out, forming a "wives' alliance" with Qin Hongmei and reaching some kind of deal, after which Wu Maocai was released.
According to the agreement of the "Wives' Alliance", Wu Maocai followed the acting county magistrate Xie Changhe and officially defected.
Furthermore, Wu Maocai also stepped forward to frame his former leader Qiao Yong. After that, Wu Maocai officially became the director of the county government office. On the same day, Chen Dawei was transferred away.
Of course, Wu Maocai's forced defection was due to other factors besides his wife Qin Hongmei's unauthorized deal with others.
However, his wife, Qin Hongmei, played the main role.
He hated his vulgar wife.
Although my wife is silly, sometimes as stupid as a pig, sometimes as stubborn as a donkey, she loves our family more than anything.
Qin Hongmei ultimately acted for the good of her family; she was simply acting according to her own understanding.
Wu Maocai could only sigh helplessly, wondering why he had ended up with such a wife.
"Qin Hongmei, I'm not joking with you."
This is a matter that concerns the future and destiny of our family.
You should get this done quickly; it would be best to find an agency now.
Wu Maocai spoke with a very serious tone and an extremely solemn expression.
Although Qin Hongmei was uncouth, her family had long said that she should listen to Wu Maocai's opinion on important matters, since he was a graduate of a prestigious university.
Moreover, he is a county-level official.
You can't get this position without some skills.
Seeing that her husband was truly serious, Qin Hongmei lowered her voice and asked, "Maocai, why are you contacting a real estate agent? Are you buying a house?"
"No, we need to sell this house immediately, right now!"
Qin Hongmei panicked again: "Sell the house?"
We haven't even finished paying off our mortgage yet, and we've only lived here for a short time, why are we already selling the house?
"Are you crazy?"
There was another half-sentence left unsaid: if he's in such a hurry to sell the house, he definitely won't get a good price and will lose money.
Qin Hongmei was afraid that if she said this, Wu Maocai would criticize her for lacking vision and having a narrow-minded peasant mentality.
"Are you going to do it or not? If not, I'll find it myself." Wu Maocai was too lazy to talk to him anymore.
Qin Hongmei opened her strong arms to block him: "If you're not Maocai, you need to have a reason, right?"
Wu Maocai swallowed his words back down.
He trusted his wife's character, but not her intelligence.
If he tells Qin Hongmei, and then Qin Hongmei tells Xie Changhe's wife about it, he will lose his initial advantage.
Wu Maocai astutely realized that Chen Dawei was playing a grand game in Kyoto.
What was once a game of chess in someone else's hands has now become a game played by the player against them.
Therefore, Wu Maocai immediately decided to move.
They need to move out of the apartment above Chen Dawei's before Chen Dawei returns to Yuanshan County.
David bought the house in the City Garden first.
Wu Maocai bought it later.
Wu Maocai originally came to Yuanshan County with County Magistrate Qiao Yong, and everyone thought that Wu Maocai would definitely be appointed as the director of the county government office.
Unexpectedly, County Chief Qiao promoted Chen Dawei to Director of the County Government Office, while Wu Maocai became Deputy Director.
Wu Maocai harbored resentment towards Chen Dawei.
After he succeeded Dawei as director, he immediately bought the apartment above Dawei's, which was even larger than Dawei's.
It was nothing more than wanting to vent his anger and put Dawei in a position of power.
Nowadays, the roles of offense and defense have shifted.
Seeing that Chen Dawei was about to gain power, Wu Maocai felt he had to move out immediately, otherwise, when Chen Dawei came back, the first person he would deal with would be Wu Maocai.
He was hesitant to share these thoughts with his wife, fearing she might blurt things out because she wasn't very bright.
If Xie Changhe also senses the crisis, Wu Maocai will lose his initial advantage and will be unable to hedge his bets.
"Hongmei." Wu Maocai's gaze softened, and his tone became much more sincere: "Have I made any wrong decisions over the years?"
"No, not at all."
"Then please trust me this time and support me. We can't live in this house anymore, or something really bad might happen."
"Can……"
"Don't ask why. I'll tell you the reason when the time is right. Now, cooperate with me and get the house sorted out quickly."
Qin Hongmei was reluctant to part with it, and looked helplessly at Wu Maocai: "If we sell it, where will we live?"
"I'll buy another apartment in this complex, but it can't be on this floor. Other buildings, or any floor below the seventh floor in this building, are fine."
Chen Dawei lives on the seventh floor.
Wu Maocai needs to make sure he shows the right attitude.
"Maocai..." Qin Hongmei was still somewhat unwilling, mainly because she was unsure of herself.
Wu Maocai was no longer willing to explain. He picked up a pair of scissors from the table and pointed them at his own neck: "Are you going to do it or not? If you don't, I'll kill myself."
Qin Hongmei was truly frightened this time, and quickly reached out to press down, saying, "No, no, don't hold it, I'll take care of it, okay?"
"I'm only giving you two days."
"Two days?"
"Yes, this needs to be done quickly. I'll explain later. Let's call my father-in-law too; he's more reliable." Seeing his wife still standing there in a daze, Wu Maocai suddenly shouted, "Go quickly!"
"oh oh."
Qin Hongmei rode her electric scooter out and went to find her father in the same neighborhood. She explained what had happened and didn't forget to complain a bit.
Unexpectedly, her father immediately put on his shoes and was about to go out.
"Let's get on it quickly."
Mao Cai must have run into some trouble.
If this isn't done, his position as director is probably in jeopardy.
Let's not ask why, let's just support him.
The father-in-law understood Wu Maocai and was quite reasonable. That very night, he took his daughter to the real estate agent who had sold them the house and asked the agent to help them list the house online.
Often, this is how the gap between people widens.
Some people have very strong insight; they can always eliminate risks before trouble arrives.
Some people, on the other hand, are completely immersed in their own world and don't care at all about what's happening outside.
Zhou Dongliang, the son of the powerful Zhou family in Yuanshan County, is such a person.
At this moment, Zhou Dongliang was sitting in a private room at the Guohao Hotel, watching a surveillance video on his computer.
In the video, Lin Qiufeng, the older sister of Dawei's childhood friend from the same village, is kneeling in the office of the general manager of Wansheng Group.
