Extra 2 - Liu Mei vs Wu Guozhi

"After you get the hush money, go to Sun Min and tell her to expose Wu Guozhi's pursuit of her when he's already with someone else. If she won't do it, tell her I'll take her report letter and make trouble at their workplace. She'll be the one embarrassed then. If she's the one that makes a fuss, she can put the matter on Wu Guozhi, and it won't have any adverse impact on her. We can also give her some money."

"Once we get the report letter, why do we have to ask her to make trouble at the factory?" Liu Mei asked. It was much better to keep the money for themselves.

Extra 1 - Liu Mei vs Wu Guozhi

That night, after returning home, Su Yu called Liu Mei over, shared the original owner and Wu Guozhi's history, and explained what she wanted Liu Mei to do. Liu Mei worked at the steel factory, which was near the machinery factory, so Su Yu chose her for this important task.

"Just inquire what he usually does and who he has contact with. Most importantly, find out if he has any interactions with other women. Don't let people find out you're doing this on purpose. Get this information, and I'll reward you."

Chapter 77 - Maturity (3)

Seeing her sister's studious state, Su Lin wasn't idle either. She started reading while making dumplings. In the past, she felt she was superior to her sister because she was a student. And now, her sister was also in school, and she was better at learning than her. She felt she was much worse than her sister now. Just like what Second Brother said, their older sister benefited their family by going to school, but it was a loss of money to send her to school…

When she recalled the past, she also felt it was too much of a loss. Back then, she compared with her classmates in terms of food, clothing, and housing, but she never compared her grades.

Chapter 76 - Maturity (2)

In the provincial capital's machinery factory's worker housing, Wu Guozhi was combing his hair.

His mother was nearby and mending clothes. Occasionally, she would scratch her scalp with the needle. From time to time, she would raise her head to look at her son.

"Guozhi, what are you doing? It's better to go with the girl from the Su family. She's so honest. That's such a good trait. I also heard that her article was published in the newspaper last month. Marrying her will add prestige to our family. Her family is a heavy burden… But, her younger brother is already married. There shouldn't be much she has to do as an older sister.

Chapter 75 - Maturity (1)

Mrs. Lin followed Su Yu into the communal bathroom with a laundry bin and quietly inquired, "Why are you taking apart the brick stove? Your parents made that."

The people that lived here were all assigned homes here. Every family was poor and couldn't afford a charcoal stove, so they built brick stoves and burned whatever wood they could find. Later on, when they could afford charcoal briquettes, they burned those instead. But even now, there were few families that had charcoal stoves in the compound. Industrial tickets were very precious. Even buying a big iron pot took a lot of effort.
