After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 200, Episode 0207: Worth It or Not

He asked in a strained and hesitant tone, "What's going on?"

She looked at Engineer Wang with a pleading gaze.

Wang originally didn't want to talk about it, but seeing Liu like this, he realized he had been holding back his anger ever since he learned about it, and he felt he had to get it off his chest.

"About two months ago, I went to see the director one day. He was on the phone at the time. I heard something about death and salary. I thought something had happened to someone in the station, so I asked him."

So, I was having a headache at the time, and I told Engineer Wang about it.

Mr. Liu's wife remarried more than ten years ago.

Liu's wife got involved with the deputy director of the factory's publicity department and told Liu's family that Liu had passed away. At that time, Liu was involved in Professor Yang's research, which was classified, so he could not contact the outside world, and the outside world could not contact him either. His family had no way to verify the truth of the matter.

Liu's wife did not tell his family about the wages he sent back home, so in his family's view, Liu had secretly left more than 20 years ago and then 'disappeared'.

Mr. Liu's hometown is in a small town. His father was a page to a landlord's son, and his mother was a maid to the landlord's daughter. Both of them had some knowledge, but not much.

They were fooled by Liu's wife's words and actually believed that Liu had passed away, and that he had been gone for a long time.

Mr. Liu earns a monthly salary of over two hundred yuan, along with numerous receipts and special supplies. He doesn't need to spend any money here; he asks the guard to send all his money and receipts back home every month.

Engineer Liu's wife, oh no, I should call her ex-wife, uh, that doesn't seem right either.

Never mind, let's just call her by her name, Niu Cuihong.

Niu Cuihong would give Liu Gong's parents ten yuan every month, saying it was to fulfill her filial duty on behalf of the deceased Liu Gong.

Unaware of the situation, Liu's parents and others praised Niu Cuihong repeatedly. They said that even after her husband died and she remarried, she still gave her ex-husband's parents ten yuan every month to show filial piety. She was a role model for us all!

Mr. Liu's son and daughter also believed that Mr. Liu had passed away, and they treated their current stepfather better than their biological father.

Until about half a year ago, Liu Miaomiao, Liu Gong’s daughter, overheard Niu Cuihong and her future husband whispering to each other. They mentioned Jiuquan and their wages of more than two hundred yuan.

Liu Miaomiao didn't think much of it at first, but when she went to visit her grandmother, she somehow remembered this matter and asked Liu Gong's mother if they had any relatives in Jiuquan, and then asked where Jiuquan was.
The old lady wasn't very knowledgeable, but she did know about Jiuquan because the leader of the group that came to pick up Engineer Liu had shown her his ID, and she saw the words "Jiuquan" on it.

So when Liu Miaomiao mentioned "nine perfections," the old lady immediately thought of her "deceased" eldest son.

What about a salary of just over two hundred yuan?

The more the old woman thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, so she asked her youngest son to come to the Northwest to find Jiuquan and see if her eldest son was really dead.

The old lady and her family knew that Jiuquan was in the Northwest, but they didn't know exactly where in the Northwest it was. So, Liu's younger brother wandered into the Northwest and got lost.

Fortunately, he wasn't stupid; instead of asking around for directions to Jiuquan, he quietly inquired about it.

But how can an ordinary person like you truly do it quietly?

After searching for about a month, he was arrested and almost had 500,000 yuan taken from him.

Brother Liu was an ordinary, unremarkable person with only average mental fortitude. After being arrested and interrogated, he confessed everything without hesitation.

"And that's how the news got to the director."

Seeing that Engineer Liu's eyes were turning red with anxiety, Engineer Wang patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "Don't worry, the director stepped in to bail your brother out. He was fine to begin with, he just kept sneaking into places and almost blew himself to pieces."

Brother Liu, you have to admit he's a capable man. He didn't rely on anyone; he just used his own courage to inquire everywhere and actually found Jiuquan's location. He just couldn't get in through the main gate, and he knew who to ask about Engineer Liu. Perhaps influenced by the movies, he came up with the idea of ​​sneaking in.

We're preparing to cross the dense forest from the far left.

Little did that guy know that the dense forest on the left side was too large to deal with in a short time, but its existence was a safety hazard for Jiuquan, so there were 'good guys' buried everywhere in the dense forest.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to run into a patrol team while preparing to cross the dense forest, he would have been blown to bits and then forced to accept the identity of someone worth 500,000.

This time, it was Yue Gong's turn to have a constipated expression. He nudged Wang Gong with his elbow, thinking he was speaking quietly, but everyone around could hear him say, "Old Liu is probably more angry than worried about his brother, right?"

Lin Yuexi and the others silently agreed in their hearts. Indeed, no one could feel good about such a thing.

If the person involved hadn't been there, everyone would have already started whispering among themselves.

That Niu Cuihong is such a scoundrel.

If you can't wait and remarry, that's one thing. Everyone present had the same thought: after they entered the twilight years, they never expected their wives or husbands at home to wait for them.

Everyone has selfish desires. Having no hope doesn't mean there were no expectations in their hearts. So, as long as they still have a home, they send every last penny back home, hoping that their lives will get better.

If you don't want to wait any longer, that's fine. They're all prepared. Just say the word, and they'll file for divorce immediately without delay, because their energy and time are precious.

But you're accepting money and then remarrying, deceiving Liu's family by saying he's dead, and what's worse, you're taking ten yuan from Liu's monthly salary of over two hundred yuan to do good deeds for his parents.

Good heavens, what kind of extraordinary person could do such a thing?

Everyone unanimously expressed their sincerest sympathy for Engineer Liu.

That's horrible!
The director silently withdrew his foot, which had just stepped in, and prepared to make a run for it.

Zhao Gong had sharp eyes. "The director is here! Come in quickly and talk to Old Liu about his family's situation. I think Old Liu is about to cry."

"You're the one who's crying."

Engineer Liu rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. How could he be so fragile?

The director glared at him with equal displeasure, as if to say, "You think you have such good eyesight!"
His shout drew two glaring eyes from Engineer Zhao: "..."

When the director arrived, everyone felt embarrassed to continue watching the drama unfold and quickly left.

In less than five minutes, only their table was left in the cafeteria; even the cafeteria worker who was serving the food had slipped away.

Foreman Liu sighed deeply, wiped his face heavily, and asked the director, "Is everything Old Zhao said true?"

There's no point in hiding it now that things have come to this.

"That's pretty much it. According to our investigation, Niu Cuihong had already been in contact with her current husband before she came here. However, we can't confirm whether there was an improper relationship between them back then because it's been too long."

“Niu Cuihong works in a garment factory. This job is the state compensation you received when you came to Jiuquan.”

"I don't know if you know, but she sold her job before coming to the Northwest."

Liu was stunned by the series of news and shook his head blankly. "It wasn't originally planned that she would come here to live. She said she was worried about her two elderly relatives at home and only planned to stay for a few months before going back. She asked her cousin from her family to fill in for her at work."
