MDMP Chapter 68.1

Hearing Ma Hongwen’s complaints, Xu Man felt bitter.

If she had a choice, she would not want to come to Songnan, but it was not something that she could decide.

Compared to Ma Hongwen and Ma Hongwu, the two children who knew nothing, Xu Man obviously knew much more.

In fact, it was a blessing for Ma Wei that his current job could be transferred to Songnan.

After all, Ma Wei was just an ordinary person before the movement.

That was, he took advantage of the chaos of the movement and seized the opportunity to climb all the way to a high position.

As far as Ma Hongwu and Ma Hongwen could remember, Ma Wei had already held a high position.

By the time they went to school, his career was at its peak.

Because Ma Wei still had some power, other parents in the school were unwilling to offend him, so Ma Hongwu and Ma Hongwen were indeed like stars in the school.

But this kind of power gained by taking advantage of the chaos was obviously not long-lasting.

After the movement ended, people like Ma Wei who had abused their power during this period suffered immediate consequences.

But, Ma Wei was also a smart man.

He was aware that everything he had obtained was ‘not legitimate’, so when faced with the power and wealth at his fingertips, he did not completely lose his mind.

He understood the principle of preparing for a rainy day and kept a plan for everything.

Before the end of the movement, he also sensed the change in wind direction in advance, made another preparation, and clung to another powerful person, so as to avoid being put in jail.

Unfortunately, Ma Wei was still quite famous in Beijing, so it was impossible for him to get out of it unscathed.

The powerful person that Ma Wei had just curried favor with simply transferred him back to his hometown, Songnan City, to avoid the limelight.

To put it nicely, it was to avoid the limelight, but to put it bluntly, it was actually a demotion.

After all, this powerful person had never said hello to Songnan City.

When Ma Wei first came, the people in Songnan were still a little confused about his background, so their attitude was good at first.

But after they found out that Ma Wei had no background at all, their attitude toward Ma Wei became cold.

Originally, the unit was going to give Ma Wei a better house, but after getting to know Ma Wei, they directly gave them the worst house to live in…

Not to mention that Ma Hongwu and Ma Hongwen felt wronged, even Xu Man felt that the gap was huge.

Xu Man’s family conditions were pretty good. Although her parents were a little patriarchal and scornful of the poor, they treated her well since she was a child.

Later, her brother got into trouble, and Xu’s father and mother learned from Xu’s grandfather that there was an old story with the Lu family, so they thought about marrying her to the Lu family.

Of course, Xu Man didn’t want to get married, but her parents didn’t agree with her and Ma Wei, and her brother was really in danger at that time, so Xu Man could only pinch her nose and accept it.

The Lu family was much better than the Xu family. As Mrs. Lu, Xu Man was still quite respected outside, although she had a bad relationship with Lu Rong.

Later, she divorced Lu Rong and married Ma Wei.

Ma Wei was no longer the poor boy with nothing like at the beginning. This was one of the reasons why Xu Man could divorce so smoothly. At least, the Xu family did not object.

Being Ma Wei’s wife was much more impressive than being Lu Rong’s wife.

After all, Ma Wei was in Beijing City and had power in his hands. There were many people who came to curry favor with him. Xu Man, as Mrs. Ma, was an important target of curry favor with him.

Although Xu Man said that it was annoying, she actually enjoyed it in her heart.

Who didn’t like to hear compliments?

But now in Songnan City, it was completely different.

Ma Wei was no longer as powerful as before, and he had returned to being an ordinary person.

The people who used to curry favor with him had long gone.
