Before being reborn and getting married, the pampered young lady emptied her family's assets to

Chapter 103 Being loved is always a source of confidence
An Min's words hit Liu Lijun like a ton of bricks, leaving her completely stunned.

The All-China Women's Federation unites and mobilizes women to participate in reform, opening up, and development, and educates and guides them to enhance their self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-improvement.

It can improve their overall quality and, more importantly, represent and safeguard women's legitimate rights and interests.

They are there to help women.

"You must have long forgotten the oath you recited when you came in."

Sister Chunli also came over and said this to Liu Lijun.

“You have already admitted that you wrote the whistleblower letter, so I will report it truthfully.”

Upon hearing Chunli's words, Liu Lijun's face instantly drained of color.

She jumped up from her chair, her voice filled with resentment: "Sister Chunli! You can't do this to me. I'm only doing this for the sake of our office's reputation. If word gets out about what Lin Mei did, people will just say that the people in our office are immoral!"

"Is reputation maintained through such underhanded means?"

An Min looked at Liu Lijun's reddened eyes and shook her head helplessly.

“When you reported her, did you not think that it would ruin her? This is the Women’s Federation office, not a place where rules are used as knives to stab people.”

"Lin Mei has helped you a lot before, hasn't she? When you borrowed someone's tickets to buy things, did they refuse to give them to you?"

At least before, Lin Mei was indeed a kind person, and even now, An Min doesn't say anything bad about her.

Even if Lin Mei is sometimes sharp-tongued, she's not like Liu Lijun, who says one thing to your face and another behind your back.

How could Liu Lijun accept the benefits offered by others and then do such a thing?

Even the usually honest and unassuming Xiao Wang couldn't help but chime in: "Sister Lijun, what you did was really unfair. Even if Sister Lin Mei is having a hard time, she hasn't bothered anyone. You're just trying to keep your position..."

"I don't!"

Liu Lijun turned her head to interrupt Xiao Wang, tears streaming down her face.

“My husband was just transferred to the grain station, and the family needs me right now! If I get laid off, will the whole family starve? You all have someone to rely on, but I…”

If she loses her job, she'll have even less status at home.

Everyone knows that Liu Lijun's husband is particularly fond of beating and scolding her.

They resort to physical violence at the slightest provocation.

She has a job, so she can control him. Liu Lijun doesn't even dare to think about what kind of life she would lead if she lost her job.

In this world, being loved always gives you confidence.

"Who isn't just living their life?"

Chunli coldly interrupted her: "Anmin is pregnant, isn't she afraid of losing her job? Xiao Wang just got married, isn't his family burden heavy? Are you the only one having a hard time, and everyone else's difficulties are just a facade?"

"In the end, you're just a selfish person who only thinks about how to make your own life better and doesn't care about others at all."

Liu Lijun was speechless when asked the question. Her legs went weak and she slumped back into her chair, covering her face and sobbing.

The office was so quiet that only her sobs could be heard. The others looked at each other, but no one dared to make a sound.

An Min sighed softly and walked to Liu Lijun's side: "Lijun, everyone wants to keep their job, but you have to walk the right path. Your husband got a promotion, which should be a good thing, but you dragged him down in this way. Is it worth it?"

She paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone in the office.

"The layoffs were decided by higher-ups, but who gets kept depends on their daily work attitude and ability. Sister Chunli knows this, and everyone else should too. Instead of figuring out how to get rid of others, we should focus on doing our jobs well."

Sister Chunli nodded: "Anmin is right. I will report this matter, but how it is handled depends on the superiors' decision. However, Liu Lijun, starting today, Xiao Wang will temporarily take over your work. You should go home and reflect on your actions."

Liu Lijun raised her tear-streaked face, wanting to say something, but was silenced by Chunli's cold and stern gaze.

She knew it was pointless to say anything more, so she slowly stood up, staggered out of the office, and her back view revealed an indescribable dishevelment.

After everyone left, Sister Chunli rubbed her temples and said, "I really didn't expect something like this to happen."

"Consider it a lesson learned."

An Min, supporting her aching back, slowly sat down: "At least let everyone know that crooked paths won't work." Xiao Wang scratched his head: "Then...about layoffs?"

"Just do it the way it should be."

Sister Chunli said firmly, "Starting next month, we'll use performance appraisals. Whoever does well will stay. It's fair and just, and nobody can complain."

This is a place where capable people stay.

This is no longer the time to just coast along.

The atmosphere in the office finally eased up, and everyone picked up their work again. However, when they occasionally looked up, their eyes held less calculation and more reassurance.

Anmin looked at the sunlight outside the window and gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen.

No matter how many changes there are in the future, as long as you act uprightly and honestly, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Meanwhile, Lin Mei lay on the bed in the clinic for a long time until the setting sun dyed the windowpanes red before she slowly sat up.

She touched her stomach, her eyes gradually hardening.

She may have made the wrong choices in the past, but in the future, she wants to live for herself for once.

She decided to keep the child.

It wasn't because of anyone else's opinion, but simply because this was her child.

Lin Mei does not plan to remarry in the future, so this child will accompany her for the rest of her life.

It was also her only solace during the countless lonely days that followed.

The next morning, Lin Mei packed her things and left the clinic.

Instead of returning to her original residence, she went to the train station and bought a ticket to the county town.

She wanted to change places and start over.

However, before leaving, Lin Mei went to see An Min and Sister Chunli.

"I'm sorry, Anmin. I was too stubborn before and made a lot of mistakes."

Lin Mei looked at An Min and bowed her head to apologize.

"What happened before is in the past. What are your plans for the future?"

Anmin helped her up, and then heard Lin Mei say, "I plan to leave Baiyanggou and find a place where no one knows me. If my mother-in-law and the others find out I'm pregnant, they definitely won't let me leave."

"If things get out of hand, it won't look good. Leaving here will allow me to start a new life more easily."

Hearing Lin Mei say this, An Min nodded, and she and Sister Chunli each gave Lin Mei a few tickets.

"We don't have much to give you, but we hope it can help you."

Lin Mei's eyes reddened as she looked at the tickets the two had given her.

"Thank you."

When she becomes successful in the future, she will definitely come to thank them.

The two watched Lin Mei board the train, hoping she could start a new life.

"This matter is finally over, and I feel much more at ease now."

Chunli smiled and said, and Anmin nodded in agreement. Just then, a man walked towards them.

"Hello, I'd like to ask if you recognize this address?"

The man wore glasses, had a gentle face, and spoke in a pleasant voice.

Hearing this, Chunli lowered her head and then asked in confusion, "Anmin, isn't this your home address?"

Hehe, guess who the new character is? Next up, it's time for Liang Yi to get incredibly jealous!
