County Party Committee Standing Committee
The next morning.
Lu Da and Li Hong packed Lu Xiaolei's schoolbag and sent him off to school.
The moment their son left, Li Hong stopped hiding the irritation on her face. Her expression darkened as she turned to her husband. "I withdrew the money—120,000. Do you know how much is left in our savings account? It's practically empty! I've never seen such a spineless leader! Our son got his face disfigured! So what if I scratched that Yu woman's face? Huh? And that Dong guy even beat me and our son! Why aren't you settling that score? Instead, you're paying them 120,000? How are we supposed to live after this? Huh? Tell me, how?"
Lu Da slammed his hand on the table. "Enough!"
"You're useless, and you're yelling at me?" Li Hong glared at him.
Lu Da shouted, "If you hadn't caused all this trouble, would I be in such a passive position?"
For the past two days, they had done nothing but argue about this matter. They argued during the day and at night, never getting a moment of peace. In the end, Lu Da could not be bothered to fight with her anymore. "I agreed to pay because I wanted to settle this as soon as possible. The County Party Committee Standing Committee meeting is today, and the director's position will be decided soon. Nothing can go wrong at a time like this. Once I become director, what's 120,000? Why don't you have any foresight at all? All you know is stare at what's right in front of you!"
Li Hong blinked. "Can you really get the position?"
"No problem." Lu Da said, "It's already decided."
Hearing that, Li Hong stopped arguing. "I'll make you something to eat. What do you want?"
