Title: How to Thrive in the Sixties

Extra 3 - Liu Mei vs Wu Guozhi
(T/N: From raw chapter 32.)
Wu Guozhi had been very depressed the past few days. Even on the way to work, he was absent-minded and distracted.
He started to hesitate between choosing Sun Min and Su Yu. He had been wholeheartedly chasing Sun Min and planned on dumping Su Yu once he succeeded in his pursuit. But, it was different now. Su Yu had skills. She had become an officer of the trade union. This was a very respectable job, and he now found Su Yu more attractive.
More importantly, he found out that Su Yu had money. Marrying her meant he would have everyone in the Su family earning money for his family. Moreover, he noticed Su Yu seemed to have changed. She had become prettier…
And so, in comparison, other than being a bit younger and a bit smarter, Sun Min didn't have any advantages over Su Yu
And yet, he had chased after Sun Min for so long and spent so much money. It felt like a pity to give up now. Moreover, he had feelings for Sun Min. He really liked her. And so, he hesitated. Who should he choose?
In Wu Guozhi's inner world, he was thinking that it was a pain to be such an outstanding man. He always had options and his carelessness would harm women.
"Wu Guozhi, you b*stard!"
Who was cursing him?
Wu Guozhi turned around and saw that a woman was chasing after him. The woman was wearing a steel factory uniform. She had a long braid and looked very aggressive.
Who was she?
"Wu Guozhi, you b*stard!" Liu Mei ran over, pointed at him and cursed.
"Who are you? Why are you cursing me?"
Liu Mei scolded, "Su Yu is my sister-in-law. Who do you think I am?"
Wu Guozhi's expression changed, and he instinctively looked around. Fortunately, everyone was in a hurry to go to work. They only glanced over here before continuing to work.
He hastily said, "Let's go over to the side to talk." Then, he headed towards the side of the road.
Liu Mei followed after him. Her sister-in-law had said she couldn't make a commotion. She was only supposed to scare Wu Guozhi.
Wu Guozhi sighed in relief when they got to the side of the road. "Why were you saying nonsense?
Liu Mei crossed her arms and said, "You know what I'm talking about. You think other people don't know what you're doing in the machinery factory? The workers in my factory have relatives that work in your factory. After they knew Su Yu is my sister-in-law, they told me what you've been doing. You're worse than a beast. I'm here to settle accounts!"
Wu Guozhi's expression was even uglier. He didn't expect this problem. He thought it would be fine if he kept his distance from Su Yu and didn't let her come to his factory. But after twists and turns, people from her side still found out.
"Is there a misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?" Liu Mei scoffed. "If there's any misunderstanding, I can find out just by asking someone. Do you think you can hide what you've been doing?"
"..." Wu Guozhi deeply regretted it. It had been too early to make a choice. In order to win over Sun Min, he had spoken badly of Su Yu at work and said they had broken up. And now, he couldn't undo his mistake.
Liu Mei threatened in a low voice, "Not only will I tell my sister-in-law what you did, I'm going to go to your factory and report you for two-timing. You went looking for someone when you already have a partner. That's like learning from the old society and looking for a concubine."
Wu Guozhi paled in fright. "Hey, come on, let's talk it out. You know Su Yu has feelings for me. You don't want to make her sad, right?"
"I don't care if she's sad." Sister-in-law definitely wouldn't feel sad. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come up with this idea.
"... What do you want from me?"
Liu Mei furrowed her brow. "I'm not that heartless, but…"
She still felt uncomfortable asking money from a stranger.
Hearing the change in Liu Mei's tone, Wu Guozhi sighed in relief. "But what?"
"But why should I keep this secret for you? You haven't given me any benefits."
Wu Guozhi was relieved. If she wanted to talk about benefits, there was still room for turnaround. If this woman went to make trouble at his work, not only would it scr*ew things up with Sun Min andSu Yu, he might also lose his job.
"Okay then, I have some money left. We'll be a family in the future. You can treat this as pocket money." Feeling like she was taking a pound of flesh from him, he took out his loose change, which added up to two to three yuan.
Liu Mei saw it and grimaced. "Aiyo, are you trying to send off children? My younger sister-in-law gets more than that for her allowance. Is your reputation only worth this much?"
"... That's all I have."
"I don't care how much you have. Pay me at least 50 yuan, 20 catties of food tickets, and three industrial tickets or else. Let's see how much your reputation and job is worth to you!"
