How much should be handed over after Chapter 188?
Gu Hanchuan said in a somber tone, "I'm not the kind of person who's naive or ignorant. I know that the world isn't just black and white. But when I hear that something like this is happening at school, I really feel uncomfortable."
No matter how chaotic things are outside, I firmly believe that school is a sacred place. Both teachers and students should hold themselves to a certain standard. But right now, this is happening right under my nose, and I'm truly bewildered.
Ye Nuan raised her hand and touched Gu Hanchuan's face. She understood why Gu Hanchuan was feeling uncomfortable.
Gu Hanchuan isn't the type to take things too seriously, but he does have his bottom line.
Schools should be clean, pure, and sunny places.
Now that other things have come into play, it's normal for Gu Hanchuan to feel bad.
Moreover, this is a military school, which is quite different from schools outside. The children here are the descendants of outstanding soldiers, and they may become soldiers in the future. Therefore, Gu Hanchuan always subconsciously felt that the teachers here should be of higher quality and the requirements for the children should be higher.
But now, Gu Hanchuan sees Liu Lihua's behavior of getting into the school as a teacher through personal connections as a slap in the face.
This slap shattered his romanticized view of the school.
Actually, there's no need to be so pessimistic.
“If you look at it from another angle, at least Liu Lihua meets all the requirements. Besides, there aren’t many women in our residential compound with only a high school education. It’s a win-win situation for both of us if Liu Lihua can get the job. At least Liu Lihua has real skills and won’t hold the children back.”
Gu Hanchuan sighed: "But I still think character is more important than academic knowledge."
Ye Nuan fell silent.
At a time like this, nothing could make Gu Hanchuan happy.
The two stayed quietly for a while until Ye Nuan started to yawn, at which point Gu Hanchuan realized it was getting late.
"Go and rest."
Ye Nuan stood up and twisted her waist slightly as she comforted her, "Actually, you should be used to this kind of thing. It's just that this time it happened at school, so it's hard for you to accept it right away. Once you understand it, it's actually quite easy to understand."
Ye Nuan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
It's just human nature, nothing to do with favors.
Moreover, Liu Lihua meets the requirements, so there's nothing wrong with that!
Gu Hanchuan smiled wryly and said, "I understand, maybe I'm being too dramatic."
"No, I think it's because you still have a pure and innocent side deep down that you find it hard to accept for a while."
Gu Hanchuan looked into Ye Nuan's eyes and suddenly laughed: "You're so good at finding the right angle to comfort people, I really did marry a good wife!"
Ye Nuan glared at him: "You're so annoying!"
After this interruption, Gu Hanchuan's mood improved considerably.
But after lying down on the bed, Gu Hanchuan hugged Ye Nuan tightly and whispered, "Thank you. But I'm not in a good mood today, and that's not the real reason. But I can't say sorry."
Ye Nuan suddenly realized that she had said it was just a simple exchange of benefits, so how could Gu Hanchuan not understand? It turned out there was another reason!
"Next time, if you can't say something directly, just tell me. I had to go through all that trouble to comfort you, only to find out I was the idiot!"
Gu Hanchuan smiled and kissed her: "How could you be a fool? You're my smartest and most capable little wife!"
Ye Nuan reached out and pinched his waist. Gu Hanchuan hissed and begged for mercy.
On the other side, Bai Ge and Wu Xingbang finally sat down to have a proper talk once again.
"Brother Xingbang, we had a fight last time about wages, and we ended up losing our child. I'm calm now and just want to hear what's going on with your wages."
"I am now a company commander, and according to regulations, I am receiving an administrative salary of level 19, which is 80 yuan a month. However, I was promoted to company commander relatively recently. Before that, I was a deputy company commander, and my salary was 72 yuan, which is an administrative salary of level 20."
I used to give my family twenty yuan every month, keeping some for myself, and also spending some money on our wedding. So, I basically have no money on hand now.
"That's not right! Since the Lunar New Year, we haven't had many expenses. Even if you give your family twenty yuan and spend ten yuan yourself each month, you still have fifty yuan left."
The last time they argued about this, Wu Xingbang refused to explain to her and even pushed her, causing Liu Lihua to miscarry.
This time, Liu Lihua brought up the old issue again, and Wu Xingbang naturally couldn't brush it off any longer.
“I borrowed some money before and have been paying it off slowly. Lihua, I won’t talk about the past. From now on, I’ll give you forty yuan of my salary every month. Is that alright?”
Liu Lihua squinted, not actually satisfied with the answer: "Why forty?"
Wu Xingbang seemed a little embarrassed: "I have to send twenty to my family. After all, it wasn't easy for my parents to raise me, and I also have younger siblings. Besides, I need some pocket money myself, right? And in the barracks, sometimes when the men get together, they inevitably drink and smoke."
"Lihua, I absolutely won't squander the money I have. Besides, you know I'm not in the military camp; I'm in the family compound. Even if I wanted to, there's no place for me to waste it!"
Liu Lihua didn't believe it.
Wu Xingbang was somewhat nervous.
He certainly still has money, but he can't say it.
Moreover, the money was kept in the barracks dormitory. As long as he didn't admit it, no one could do anything to him. Anyway, Liu Lihua couldn't enter the barracks, so he wasn't afraid.
However, he can't really be completely without financial control in the future, otherwise what will happen to Bai Ge?
Thinking of this woman, Wu Xingbang's eyelids twitched slightly, barely managing to suppress the tension in his heart.
"Twenty yuan a month is too much pocket money for you. I know you men spend money recklessly. How about this, I won't make things difficult for you. From now on, you can give me forty-five yuan."
Wu Xingbang was secretly delighted, as this was actually within his expectations.
He originally thought that Liu Lihua would offer to hand over fifty yuan.
Unexpectedly, I was able to keep an extra five yuan.
"Okay! Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it to you on time from now on."
Liu Lihua was satisfied.
When she first got married, she didn't really have a clear idea of whether the money was in her own hands.
Moreover, she has money of her own, so she doesn't just live off the money Wu Xingbang has.
However, Wu Xingbang used to give her thirty yuan a month for household expenses. Liu Lihua didn't keep track of her spending, so she had no idea how much she spent in a month.
It wasn't until she checked her secret stash on the day Wu's mother left that she realized she was actually putting money into it to make ends meet.
How is this possible?
