Chapitre 679: Slamming the Door and Leaving

On this day of rest, the married couple found themselves in a cycle of argument and respite. As soon as one bout of bickering ended, another would begin. At this moment, Zhang Mei started up again, her voice filled with bitter resentment. "It's laughable, really. What can your leader offer you besides a promise of promotion? Is there any substance to his words?"

She continued, her words laced with sarcasm. "You're a public servant, a minor official, yet any rural businessman that Gu Zi marries would be more capable and wealthier than you. They live in villas in the village and now they've even brought Gu Zi back to the city. Just wait and see, our family will become the laughingstock of the town."

Zhang Mei understood her husband's resentment. He was upset that the position had been given to her relatives, and it was eating him up inside.
