Chapter 530 So it wasn't a case of him marrying into the family after all! (Seeking monthly votes)
"how is this possible?"

Wu Aidang jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and angrily said, "Aijun and I only have one cent of pocket money a week!"

Tsk tsk, definitely a city kid.

Apart from the day he paid his tuition, Wu Aiguo never had more than five cents in pocket money, as far as I can remember.

"As for clothes and shoes, they're all hand-me-downs from my cousins!"

Wu Aidang was afraid that Wu Aiguo wouldn't believe him, so he deliberately showed off the patched hem of his shirt and his drab gray sandals.

Before Wu Aiguo could say anything, Wu Zhi's face had already turned extremely ugly.

"Dad, let's deposit the money in the box at the credit union tomorrow!"

Seeing the tense atmosphere, the two younger brothers were too scared to utter a sound, and the younger sister, Wu Aihong, shrank back and dared not enter the room. Wu Aiguo reminded them, "A bankbook is easier to hide than money!"

"One more thing, Dad, if you deposit five hundred in one go, and you're a long-time resident of Nanluoguxiang, the credit union employees will definitely recognize you and remember you well!"

"From now on, if Aunt Zhang takes the passbook to withdraw money, she will definitely notify you, Dad, immediately!"

"If someone else tries to withdraw money using the passbook, the credit union definitely won't allow it, and they might even report it to the police!"

In fact, he also felt that there was no money left in the family.

You should know that people living in large courtyards usually don't lock their doors.

If you leave a lot of small bills at home, they can easily be taken by someone else.

By then, it will be difficult to get it back!

At most, they would keep a reasonable amount of small change at home for daily living expenses, while large sums of money would either be hidden away or deposited at a credit union.

"Okay, I'll ask for leave tomorrow to deposit the money!"

Wu Zhi carefully put away the small box containing the money and said solemnly, "From now on, I will manage the family's money myself!"

"We definitely need to save more money!"

Wu Aiguo chimed in, "Aidang is already fourteen years old. He'll graduate high school in a few years, and then we might have to spend a lot of money to buy him a job!"

As for covering someone else's shift, that's impossible.

At this time, Wu Zhi was only thirty-three years old, and even if he lived a few more years, he would not be forty.

At this time, he was already a level 5 worker in the factory, earning a monthly salary of sixty yuan!

If my skills improve in a few years and I can reach the level of a sixth-grade worker, my monthly salary will be around seventy!
The apprentice who takes over the shift only earns eighteen yuan a month!
It's not like there's something wrong with your body; only a fool would make such a choice.

"And Ai Jun, who is only two years younger than Ai Dang, also needs to be prepared in advance!"

Seeing Wu Aijun looking at him expectantly, Wu Aiguo couldn't help but chuckle to himself and casually mentioned it as well.

As for my younger sister, Wu Aihong, there's no need to worry about her for now.

She was only ten years old at the time, and it would be another seven or eight years before she graduated from high school.

By then, it's hard to say what the situation will be like at home.

When it comes to their own interests, Wu Aidang and Wu Aijun, although only junior high school students, have already begun to have their own thoughts, so they naturally nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Now it was Takeshi's turn to feel the pressure.

"how about you?"

He glanced at Wu Aiguo, who seemed relaxed, and asked curiously, "Are you really going back to the countryside to farm?"

"We'll see how things go!"

Wu Aiguo chuckled and said, "If all else fails, joining the army is also a good option. At least with my level of education, I would definitely be welcomed in the military!"

Not to mention, he also possesses considerable martial arts skills!
Seeing his confident demeanor, Wu Zhi felt a complex mix of emotions.

"By the way, Father, I've always had a question in my mind. I wonder if you could answer it honestly?" Wu Aiguo waved for Wu Aihong, who was hiding by the door, to come into the house. He then looked at Wu Zhi and spoke, his expression somewhat strange.

"If you have any questions, just ask!"

It was rare for Wu Zhi to speak calmly with Wu Aiguo. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his eldest son at all, and his dissatisfaction with Zhang Li grew even stronger.

"Dad, when you first came to the city, did you receive help from Aunt Zhang and her family?"

Wu Aiguo didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly, "Or did you receive help from Aunt Zhang's family when you entered the factory?"

The question piqued the interest of the Wu brothers, Wu Aidang and Wu Aijun, who were sitting nearby, as well as Wu Aihong, who had returned to her room.

In fact, they also had such doubts in their hearts.

"how is this possible?"

Wu Zhi categorically denied it: "When I met your Aunt Zhang, I was already a formal employee of the steel rolling mill. Otherwise, how could I have caught your Aunt Zhang's eye?"

"Then, are you..."

Wu Aiguo paused here, got up, took a stool and sat a little further away, before asking, "Is it Zhang's family, where I've moved in with my husband?"

"You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Wu Zhi was instantly enraged and instinctively wanted to slap Wu Aiguo.

It was a matter of male dignity; even if he wanted to maintain a good relationship with his eldest son, he couldn't help but want to hit him.

Unfortunately, Wu Aiguo was prepared. If Wu Zhi hadn't gotten up, he wouldn't have been able to get close to Wu Aiguo.

"But I think Aunt Zhang is the one who makes the decisions at home, isn't she?"

Wu Aiguo remained unfazed and continued, "Or perhaps Aunt Zhang's family has considerable influence and can help you advance further at the steel mill, Dad?"

What are you guessing about?

Wu Zhi snorted coldly and said irritably, "Your Aunt Zhang's family is just an ordinary family, they're just old Beijingers!"

"So what if they're old Beijingers?"

Wu Aiguo sneered, "I've heard that their whole family is doing much worse off than ours!"

"this!"

Wu Zhina was speechless for a moment before finally saying, "They're all from the old capital, after all. Who knows what kind of hidden relationship they might have?"

"Hehe, Father, don't underestimate yourself!"

Wu Aiguo said directly, "Since you are neither a son-in-law nor do you need anything from Aunt Zhang's family, why have you distanced yourself from your grandparents, uncles, and aunts?"

"This one……"

Wu Zhi was speechless again, his dark face now showing a look of utter embarrassment.

Hey!
Wu Aiguo finally understood that his biological father, Wu Zhi, had been brainwashed by his stepmother, Zhang Li.

It's likely that he felt quite inferior to Zhang Li back then because of his rural background, and Zhang Li probably brought that up quite often.

Then, they touted the advantages of their family's old Beijing home, which led Wu Zhi, a divorced man, to have the strange idea that being able to marry Zhang Li would be an immense blessing, and this idea became increasingly ingrained in his mind.

In addition, he may have truly loved Zhang Li, so the power to manage the household naturally fell into Zhang Li's hands.

"It seems that the remaining money at home was taken home by Aunt Zhang and spent to help her younger brother solve his troubles!"

Wu Aiguo was talking to himself, just in time for Wu Zhi to hear him clearly.

Wu Aiguo actually knew quite a bit about Aunt Zhang's family situation.

It wasn't something he did intentionally; it was Aunt Zhang's younger brother, a notorious thug in Dongcheng District who was a seasoned veteran who frequently ate at the police station.
