Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

Street Office.

"What are you going to do?"

Liu Neng was in a good mood early in the morning, but when he saw Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi walking in, his mood suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, and even his brows were almost twisted together.

Ever since he arranged the marriage between Sha Zhu and Jia Zhang, Liu Neng would curse them in his heart almost every day.

If he hadn't encountered these two people getting married, he wouldn't have become what he is now, speaking to himself with disgust.

"Let's divorce, divorce, divorce!"

When Sha Zhu saw Liu Neng's expression change, he quickly said, "I'm sorry, I can't help it. We are here to get a divorce!"

I just suddenly wanted to learn it, but I didn't expect that I could learn it so well.

It was really subconscious.

After he realized what was happening, he naturally had to apologize, because he didn't want to offend Liu Neng.

"You, really want to leave, leave..."

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Liu Neng was a little surprised, and looked at Jia Zhang with some confusion, as if Jia Zhang was not so willing.

However, Liu Neng wondered, could it be that his curse had worked?

In fact, Jia Zhang is more than just reluctant now.

I also felt like I had seen Shazhu wrong.

Shazhu always does things that are disregarded after use, and throws away the donkey after use. When he is needed, he will come back to you.

No longer needed, he suddenly became a different person, wishing to cut off all ties with her immediately.

He knew that she was coming to get a divorce today, but he still pushed her over and made trouble for her last night.

It’s as if all the demands for a long time to come are released at once.

This made Jia Zhang feel like her old love had rekindled, and perhaps she didn't need to get divorced.

However, in the morning, as soon as I woke up, I was dragged here to get a divorce.

Jia Zhang's heart almost couldn't bear it. They were inseparable last night, but they were like strangers this morning.

"Yes, we are getting divorced. We are indeed getting divorced."

"You don't have to waste your breath trying to persuade us. There's no need for mediation or anything like that."

"As the saying goes, there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. Do you think she can give birth to a baby for me in this condition?"

"If I don't have a baby, then our He family's incense will be cut off, right?"

Sha Zhu didn't want to wait for Liu Neng to speak, so he slowly helped Liu Neng say everything he needed to say.

Liu Neng looked at Jia Zhang's appearance.

Although she is a woman, she looks too old to have a baby.

Besides, when Liu Neng heard that the two were going to divorce, he felt filled with emotion and was extremely happy.

I became like this before because I arranged a marriage for these two people. What if I get divorced and everything goes back to normal?

When Liu Neng heard that the two people did not need mediation, he directly took out their documents and began to review them, and finally processed the matter.

Anyway, this couple was not presentable at first and was once a disgrace to the subdistrict office.

Anyone who hears it will think it's a joke.

In fact, Liu Neng also wanted to resolve the matter quickly and see if he would be affected.

Although it sounds a bit metaphysical, at this point we can only try our best to save the situation.

"Okay, we have nothing to do with each other now."

After finishing the formalities, Sha Zhu looked at Jia Zhang.

"Then give me the money."

Jia Zhang did not insist, as things had come to this point and there was no turning back.

"what money?"

"Why should I give it to you?"

Shazhu pretended to be stupid.

"you."

"Didn't you promise me last night? You'll give me 50 dollars after we complete the divorce procedures."

Jia Zhang might forget anything else.

But as long as it involves money, it is absolutely impossible to forget it.

"Four dollars?"

"How is that possible? You must be kidding!"

"What did I say?"

Sha Zhu turned around and looked at Jia Zhang.

"Impossible, you said I was your wife at the time, you couldn't have lied to me."

Seeing that Sha Zhu was trying to cheat, Jia Zhang naturally became anxious.

"Yes, I did tell you that you are my wife. I will definitely not lie to you. I will give you 50 yuan if I say so."

"But you are not my wife now."

"Then of course I don't need to give it to you."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he smiled and walked outside, and his steps seemed to be much more vigorous.

"He Yuzhu, you bastard!"

"You planned to lie to me yesterday."

Only then did Jia Zhang realize that she had been completely fooled by Sha Zhu.

"Aunt Zhang, please don't say anything careless."

"We are neighbors. If you keep saying this, won't this ruin my reputation?"

As Sha Zhu spoke, he quickened his pace.

"You're such a fool, now you can't wait to draw a line in the sand."

"Last night you called her Sweetie, but today you call her Aunt Zhang."

"Just wait for me."

Jia Zhang is now very angry, and has completely lost the last bit of feelings she had for Sha Zhu.

It felt like Shazhu had been lying to her since yesterday.

But there is no way, the two of them really have no relationship now.

"Sweetheart?!"

"No!"

Shazhu felt his scalp tingling. Did he really scream?

Not disgusting?

"Snapped!"

Sha Zhu slapped himself, how embarrassing.

"Silly Zhu, what's wrong with you? Are you hitting yourself?"

Old Zhang, the gatekeeper of the street office, looked at Sha Zhu and thought he had a fever.

“No, there are mosquitoes!”

Sha Zhu touched his face and left in a hurry, fearing that Jia Zhang would catch up with him.

"Mosquito?"

"It's almost New Year's Day, where did these mosquitoes come from? You're crazy!"

Old Zhang shook his head and continued to hum his Huangmei Opera.

Liu Neng, who was in the room, carefully forced himself to say a few more words, but the result was the same, there was no change.

This made Liu Neng almost throw the teacup.

Finally I endured it.

After all, several months have passed and the people in the street office have become accustomed to the way he speaks.

......

When Jia Zhang came back, Qin Huairu had already gone to work.

Nowadays, factories don’t even close during the Spring Festival.

Naturally, there is no possibility of taking a holiday early.

Even on New Year's Eve, we still have to go to work during the day.

"Great! Grandma is back."

Jia Zhang returned to the Jia family again.

"Grandma, you are not Shazhu's wife anymore?"

Banggeng gave Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua each a small piece of candy.

"No, I am still your grandmother. I have nothing to do with that idiot Shazhu."

Jia Zhang walked in with a smile and went to light the stove.

"Then can you treat me to braised pork?"

It would have been better if Banggeng hadn't said this. As soon as he said it, Jia Zhang immediately became unhappy.

"You three come here!"

Jia Zhang looked at Banggeng and Xiaodang. As for Xiao Huaihua, she was just a baby.

The three of them looked at each other and then walked over.

"Grandma asks you, where does your mother usually keep her money?"

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, the two of them shook their heads.

In fact, Qin Huairu knew that the good boy in her family had been led astray by Jia Zhang.

When Banggeng has nothing to do, he will hang out at other neighbors' homes.

The family will definitely not be left behind.

Putting aside other things, Banggeng will definitely not be allowed to know where the family’s money is kept.

As for Xiaodang, he didn't have that awareness at all.

"So did you see your mother go from the inner room yesterday?"

Jia Zhang didn't think they would lie either.

Needless to say, Xiaodang is absolutely afraid of her.

"No, my mother didn't go into the inner room yesterday."

“It’s always been outside.”

Xiaodang thought for a moment and said.

"impossible!"

Jia Zhang didn't get the answer she wanted, so she just let Banggeng and Xiaodang go play by themselves.

Then I started searching around the house.

She searched almost all the places where she had hidden her private money, but still found nothing.

"Grandma, you don't have no money, do you?"

"Silly Zhu doesn't even give you money!"

Bang Geng asked when Jia Zhang finished searching and sat back down.

"By the way, I haven't got my things yet."

"Let's go, Bangteng!"

Jia Zhang stood up and walked towards Sha Zhu's house.

Although New Year’s Eve in this era is not as lively as it would be decades later, every household will still celebrate.

When Yi Zhonghai and Yi Bufan came back, Yan Bugui had already posted Spring Festival couplets at the gate.

"Old Yi, have you written your Spring Festival couplets? I'll write them for you. Just give me some sunflower seeds and peanuts when the time comes."

Yan Bugui is a teacher, so the school will be closed for holidays.

They have been sweeping the yard since noon, and whenever someone comes back, they will sell the Spring Festival couplets and see if they can get something to play with.

"No need, Bufan had already written it a few days ago."

"Just go back and post it."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and politely declined Yan Bugui.

"You guys also bought lanterns?"

"Do you want to hang it on the front door?"

Yan Bugui pointed to the main gate of the courtyard.

"Bufan bought it and hung it in the yard."

Yi Zhonghai said as he walked inside.

These days, Yi Zhonghai has been buying things for his family almost every day, and he has bought almost everything that he thought was necessary for the Chinese New Year.

It’s just that before, it was just the two of them, so it felt boring.

It's different now.

This was the first Spring Festival he spent with his son, so naturally it was going to be different.

When it got dark, the people in the yard didn't continue to save electricity and everything was brightly lit.

Not to mention Yi Bufan's yard.

Yi Zhonghai specially connected two light bulbs in the yard. After turning them on, the yard was almost as bright as day.

Yi Bufan's lantern is made of two bamboo poles and inserted above the gate, which creates a full sense of atmosphere when viewed from a distance.

There was also a lot of meat in the yard, including beef, mutton, pork, chicken, duck and fish.

There is no need to worry about shortage of rice and flour.

Yi Bufan also bought back a lot of fruits.

There are two boxes of almost every kind, all of which are exchanged from the Emotion Mall.

The Jia family and Sha Zhu family next door seemed a little dark.

Maybe the lights in the yard were not turned on.

Every household has a light bulb connected to the eaves.

Although it was Chinese New Year, Sha Zhu came back relatively late.

"elder brother!"

He Yushui just happened to come back from outside.

"Where have you been? Why aren't you home?"

Sha Zhu didn't pay any attention to He Yushui's affairs.

"I went to a classmate's house."

He Yushui is also very depressed now.

Ever since Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai had a falling out, she has been embarrassed to go to their house.

Now even the deaf old lady is gone in this yard, and He Yushui really doesn’t know whose house to go to.

I can only go to my classmate’s house.

"You haven't eaten yet, go back and help me wash the vegetables."

"Brother will make dumplings for you."

Sha Zhu didn't blame He Yushui either.

"Ah."

"Brother, who will celebrate the New Year with us this year?"

He Yushui knew that the Chinese New Year was always quite lively.

Usually, Yi Zhonghai and his wife and the deaf old lady lived with them.

This year, it seems like none of them are there.

Originally I was thinking there was still Jia Zhang, but now even Jia Zhang is divorced.

"It's just the two of us."

"Whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you."

"I've already bought the food. Let's make dumplings tonight."

Sha Zhu also wants to start over after the Chinese New Year.

New year, new atmosphere.

"it is good!"

He Yushui took Sha Zhu's arm and walked into the house.

"You go turn on the light and I'll poke the stove."

Sha Zhu walked in and took a look at the stove.

"Brother, is the battery out?"

He Yushui tried pulling the cord of the lamp several times, but all he heard was a clicking sound.

"That shouldn't be the case. Everyone else in the yard has electricity."

Sha Zhu took a look down and the most eye-catching thing was the lantern on the gate of Yi Bufan's house. It was very beautiful in red.

"It seems like there is no light bulb!"

He Yushui walked over, looked for a while and said.

"Ah? How come?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he naturally didn't believe it.

It would be fine if the light bulb was broken, but how could there be no light bulb?

"look!"

He Yushui pointed upwards.

"Who turned off my light bulb?"

"It's okay, I'll move the light bulb from the yard over here."

When Shazhu arrived at the door and looked, only the socket of the light bulb on the eaves was left.

"Brother, I remember there is another light bulb in the cabinet in my room. Together with the one in my room, there are exactly two. Let's change it first."

He Yushui thought, it would be better to stay in this room tonight.

"it is good!"

Shazhu doesn't have the time to be angry.

A few minutes later, Sha Zhu replaced both light bulbs.

"Brother, where are the vegetables you bought?"

"And the meat?"

He Yushui searched for it but didn't find it.

"In the jar next to the water jar."

Shazhu added some coal to the stove.

"No, nothing!"

He Yushui also felt that Sha Zhu could not possibly lie to her.

"How can it be!"

Sha Zhu looked incredulous, walked over and took a look, then was dumbfounded.

Afterwards, Sha Zhu discovered that not only the vegetables and meat in the jar were missing.

Even other things were gone.

There were no eggs left, and no wine either.

Even the white flour I bought was gone.

"Brother, it seems that the clothes placed here are also missing."

He Yushui felt like his house had been robbed, and it was a big thief!
