1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 268 Guilty Conscience
When Ding Youwen left, he was completely devastated.

He couldn't muster any strength in front of that old man, but if he didn't serve him well, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to leave.

He had no choice but to steel himself and use the method his lover had used on him.

Once he got out of the street, he headed toward a bathhouse that wasn't far away. He was about to throw up if he didn't wash himself off. He thought to himself, "Why doesn't this old geezer just die?"

I made a special detour to a nearby department store to buy a full set of toiletries and a change of clothes before entering the bathhouse.

It's working hours now, so there aren't many people in the bathhouse.

After he entered the bath, he submerged himself completely in the water. If it weren't for the other person in the pool seeing bubbles rising to the surface, they would have thought he had drowned.

Even so, the man was quite frightened. Just as he was about to call for help, he saw Ding Youwen's head emerge from the water and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: this guy must be crazy.

I quickly climbed out of the bath, rinsed myself off briefly in the shower, and then hurriedly left.

Ding Youwen soaked in the bath for a long time before getting up, rinsing off, and leaving.

After leaving, he didn't rush back to his workplace. Instead, he strolled slowly down the street, thinking to himself: How can I make that old woman disappear without a trace?

No matter how he thought about it, it wasn't very safe for him. After all, if he couldn't kill him in one blow, he would probably be badly injured even if he didn't die. He didn't dare to take the risk.

I didn't get home until it was almost dark.

Just as I was about to sit down on the sofa to rest for a while, I heard someone downstairs in the tenement building shout, "Section Chief Ding, phone call."

After calling out several times without any response, the man muttered to himself, "Why is no one answering? I clearly saw Section Chief Ding go upstairs."

There was no other way, so the man raised his voice and shouted again: "Section Chief Ding, phone call."

Startled by the shout, Ding Youwen quickly came to his senses and went to the window to answer, "Coming, coming! Sorry, I didn't hear you from inside. I'll be right down." Not daring to delay any longer, he hurried downstairs: "I'm Ding Youwen, who is this?"

The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Youwen, it's me. Weren't you at work this afternoon?"

Hearing his wife's words, he immediately felt guilty: "Yes, I went out to take care of some things this afternoon."

Although Wang Yinlan on the other end of the phone was a little puzzled, she didn't ask any more questions: "Su Rong called you this afternoon but no one answered, so she called our office. She said she needs to talk to you and asked you to call her back at 12:30 tomorrow. She's waiting there."

Upon hearing his wife's words, Ding Youwen's heart raced: He wondered if his daughter had found the place.

Lost in thought, I heard a voice on the other end of the phone ask, "Are you listening to me?"

Ding Youwen quickly replied, "I heard you. I will definitely remember this tomorrow. Don't worry."

After saying that, Wang Yinhua continued, "The factory has a lot of orders, so we'll have to work overtime recently. I'm afraid I won't be able to get off work early tonight."

"understood."

He hung up the phone and turned to walk home, feeling very annoyed. His wife had to work overtime, so he would have to cook dinner again.

Before, when her daughter was at home, she would do all the chores, but now it's all on her own.

It seems like it's time to find someone to reassign the children's mother to a different position.

In fact, Wang Yinhua had mentioned it to him many times, feeling that he now held considerable power and that it shouldn't be difficult for him to find someone to transfer her to a different position, but he stubbornly refused.

After all, he'd been transferred to a different job, making it less convenient for him to meet people in secret. But now that his daughter had gone to the countryside, he didn't want to have to do housework after get off work.
