Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"General Manager Hu, what you say makes some sense, but there's no choice, my wife is just that domineering. Don't be afraid to hear the truth—now all my assets have been taken over by my wife."

Wang Dashan sighed, feeling ashamed and somewhat unable to face anyone.

Hu Wanjia immediately asked a soul-searching question:

"Are you stupid? What if one day your wife asks you for a divorce, wouldn't you end up with nothing?"

Hearing this, Wang Dashan's heart trembled again.

Hu Wanjia then said:

"By then you won't get a single cent, and it'll be like returning to the days before liberation overnight!"

Wang Dashan felt somewhat depressed inside.

He knew that with Du Xiaojuan's domineering personality, ruthless and decisive way of doing things, and cold and ruthless style of conduct, if he divorced Du Xiaojuan, she really would make sure he got not a single cent!

"Manager Wang, Manager Wang, you're a man, how can you bow your head to a woman in everything? You need to have your own opinions. To tell the truth, I'm starting to look down on you! I originally wanted to keep bringing you to flip houses to make money, but now you're making me hesitate."

Hu Wanjia's words, besides fanning the flames, also carried various probes both openly and secretly.

Wang Dashan gave a dry laugh:

"Hehe, even if you want to keep bringing me to flip houses now, I can't hang out with you anymore. Didn't I just say it? All my assets have been taken over by my wife."

Hu Wanjia said:

"Then you hurry up and think of a way to win some back from your wife, not for anything else, just to leave yourself a way out."

Just then, Du Xiaojuan came back from outside:

"Wang Dashan, is the meal ready?"

Wang Dashan hurriedly said to Hu Wanjia:

"My wife is back, let's not talk anymore. I was so busy talking to you I forgot to cook. It's over, she's definitely going to be angry again!"

Wang Dashan hung up Hu Wanjia's phone and hurriedly went to meet her:

"Wife, you're back so early? I was just about to go cook!"

Du Xiaojuan immediately showed displeasure:

"It's already 12 noon, and that's early?"

Wang Dashan said:

"I thought you got off work at 12 and would probably get home around 12:30, so I thought I'd cook at 12 and have it ready just when you got back."

Du Xiaojuan said:

"I didn't go to the company today, I went to the bank."

"What did you go to the bank for?" Wang Dashan was stunned.

"To help you pay off part of the loan early," Du Xiaojuan said honestly.

Wang Dashan's face was full of depression:

"Why help me pay off the loan early? Inflation is serious now, borrowing is earning. Besides, it's not yet time for early repayment. If you pay early now, won't you have to pay a penalty?"

Du Xiaojuan said instead:

"Even if I have to pay a penalty, I'll pay it off early. You'd better shut up, don't have so many opinions. I'm using my money to pay off your loan."

After saying this, Du Xiaojuan went into the bedroom to hug her son.

She casually asked Kang Yi:

"What did Wang Dashan do this morning?"

Kang Yi answered honestly:

"Nothing much. He was in a daze all morning, sometimes sighing, sometimes dejected. Just before you came back, he took a phone call."

"Whose call?" Du Xiaojuan was stunned.

Now Wang Dashan had become a family cook, responsible for housework and childcare. The reason Du Xiaojuan hadn't fired Kang Yi was partly because Kang Yi could help Wang Dashan share some of the housework and childcare workload, and partly because she wanted Kang Yi to help her monitor Wang Dashan's every move, in case he pulled some tricks behind her back.

Kang Yi said honestly:

"I'm not too sure who it was either. I was just making formula for the baby and only vaguely heard him call the other party General Manager Hu."

"General Manager Hu?" Du Xiaojuan subconsciously thought of someone: "Hu Wanjia?"

Immediately she became extremely angry:

"That dog thing Hu Wanjia, treating my husband like a fool to swindle, right!"

Immediately she took out her mobile phone, found Hu Wanjia's contact number, and dialed it.

Before the call connected, Du Xiaojuan deliberately walked out of the bedroom to the living room so Wang Dashan could hear what she was about to say to Hu Wanjia.

Soon, Hu Wanjia answered.

"Manager Du, is something the matter?"

Hu Wanjia asked politely.

Facing Du Xiaojuan, he felt somewhat guilty, so he was extremely cautious.

Du Xiaojuan cut to the chase:

"Hu Wanjia, stop swindling my husband! Now my husband's assets are under my control. If you have any business matters, deal directly with me. Don't contact my husband again!"

Hu Wanjia gave a dry laugh:

"Manager Du, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"

Du Xiaojuan, however, did not answer his question, but said coldly:

"If you dare pull any more tricks behind my back, do you believe I'll kick you out of Wanjia Commodities?"

Hu Wanjia's heart gave a jolt, his face showed displeasure, and he said in a low voice:

"General Manager Du, for you to speak like this is going a bit too far."

Du Xiaojuan, however, said:

"No matter how far it goes, you still have to listen to me properly! My husband's equity is now in my hands; Wanjia Commodities isn't run by your say-so, Hu Wanjia, but by mine, Du Xiaojuan's. Don't believe me? Keep pulling tricks and we'll see if I can kick you out of Wanjia Commodities!"

Hu Wanjia felt as uncomfortable as if he'd eaten shit.

His inner heart seethed with suppressed fire.

Yet he didn't dare directly tear face with Du Xiaojuan.

After all, what Du Xiaojuan said was the honest truth.

So he could only stay silent, enduring it.

At this, Du Xiaojuan spoke again:

"From now on, no more calling to contact my husband. My husband doesn't need a friend like you! As long as you don't touch my reverse scale, we're still good partners in business! But if you do touch my reverse scale, you'll just have to watch out for yourself!"

Hu Wanjia gave a dry laugh:

"General Manager Du, why such a big temper? Harmony is precious, harmony is precious, harmony brings wealth. Since you're unwilling for me to contact your husband, I won't contact him from now on. Just you also tell your husband — I'm afraid that if I don't contact him, he'll still come shamelessly looking for me. If that really happens, I'll be in a tight spot."

Hu Wanjia was clearly shifting the blame, saying it was Wang Dashan who took the initiative to find him.

But still, he wasn't lying; initially it really was Wang Dashan who took the initiative to find him and say he wanted to speculate on property; he didn't take the initiative to hoodwink Wang Dashan.

Du Xiaojuan just said:

"Rest assured, I'll teach my husband a lesson; you just do your own duty properly!"

Finished speaking, Du Xiaojuan hung up Hu Wanjia's phone.

She looked up toward Wang Dashan washing vegetables in the kitchen, only to see Wang Dashan with his head lowered, a face full of gloom.

"Wang Dashan, from now on don't go contacting Hu Wanjia again, hear me?"

Du Xiaojuan rebuked coldly.

Wang Dashan's vegetable-washing movements grew larger and larger, not looking like washing vegetables at all but abusing them; water from the washing basin was sent flying everywhere by him.

He didn't answer Du Xiaojuan's words, just kept his head down washing vegetables.

Du Xiaojuan walked over, saying coldly:

"Others treat you like a big stupid fish, sharpening their knives to slaughter you, yet you remain completely oblivious! How come your Third Brother is so clever, but you have this IQ? You can't even see through this bit of situation!"

Wang Dashan, pushed beyond endurance, threw the washed vegetables back into the water basin:

"Can you stop talking! I've already done as you required, come home to be a family cook — what more are you dissatisfied with?"
