Lesson 10 Thanks to My Wife

Wang Qingguan grew up in the countryside.

After finishing university, he got a job as a government official.

Not long after, he got married and had a child.

Qingguan worked really hard, and six years later, he was promoted to lead an important section in a key department.

After his promotion, Qingguan hardly ever had dinner at home because people kept inviting him out to eat.

Business people often visited his house, bringing gifts.

One night, Qingguan came home late, and his wife noticed his bag was heavier than usual.

Inside his bag, she found a hundred thousand yuan.

Qingguan explained to his wife that he had helped a friend and the money was a thank-you gift.

His wife told him that his friend was actually bribing him and urged him to return the money or report it to the government's discipline department.

Qingguan got upset, and they argued all night.

The next day, Qingguan's wife took the money to Qingguan's boss at the government office.

She asked for Qingguan to be moved out of his section.

Soon after, Qingguan was transferred, and things were never the same for him again.

Qingguan kept complaining about what his wife had done, until a year later, when his replacement was sentenced to 15 years in jail for accepting a bribe of 3 million yuan.
