Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Soon, before it got dark, everyone in the quadrangle gathered in the middle courtyard. Liu Haizhong was the most active, and he arranged all the kerosene lamps in his home to the meeting place. The three uncles sat in a triangle shape, which was really similar to the old county magistrate's trial of cases.

Liu Haizhong slammed the table with a sullen face and spoke first, "It's outrageous. What you did just now was really outrageous. Jia Dongxu and Liu Chunhua, the two of you come forward and stand still. A husband and wife are fighting in broad daylight. Do you still have any manners and integrity? Do you still know what shame is? I'm so scared for you."

Xu Damao chuckled and said cheerfully, "Uncle, it's almost dark, how can you still talk about this in broad daylight? It seems that your cultural level is not up to standard?" People in the yard laughed, which made Liu Haizhong look a little embarrassed.

Liu Haizhong slapped the table, glared at Xu Damao, the bad guy, and said, "Nonsense, I am the second uncle in the yard, I am talking here, don't interrupt me. Where was I just talking about?" He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Just now I talked about in broad daylight." Liu Haizhong took a sip of water and said, "Then I will continue to talk about in broad daylight."

The people in the yard laughed again. Liu Haizhong stared at He Yuzhu with a dark face, and then he realized that he was fooled again. His face was red with anger, like an autumn apple or a boiling kettle. Yan Fugui smiled and said to Liu Haizhong, "Okay, everyone stop laughing. Let's talk about business. What happened just now and why did you two fight?"

Liu Chunhua looked unhappy. This was a private matter of the Jia family. She said unhappily, "This is our family affair. I don't need to let you know about it." She also knew that he did something wrong in this matter and didn't want to tarnish his reputation.

Liu Haizhong was about to say something when Yi Zhonghai clapped his big teacup and said with a dark face, "Our courtyard is a big family, and we three uncles are the heads of the family. If there is a conflict among the members of this big family, then we three uncles have to mediate. This is not a private matter of your Jia family, this is our common matter."

Xu Damao rolled his eyes. This old man was really good at talking! This made Xu Damao have to admit that Yi Zhonghai still had some skills. Jia Dongxu complained with tears in his eyes, "Master, Master, I want to divorce this bitch. I really can't live with her anymore."

When the people in the yard heard this, they all lowered their heads and started to discuss. Qin Huairu was very surprised and said, "How can they get divorced? It's too sudden." Qin Huairu thought to himself that if it were him, Qin Huairu, he would not get divorced even if he died in the city. Because if a woman gets divorced, she will definitely be criticized.

He Yuzhu smiled and said to Xu Damao who was squatting nearby, "This Jia Dongxu is really tough. They have only been married for a few days, not even a week, and they want to divorce already." Xu Damao smiled and said with great gloating, "I really don't know if Jia Dongxu was kicked in the head by a donkey? He married such a fat girl. Isn't she afraid of being crushed to death while sleeping at night? Whenever I think of this scene now, I feel a little disgusted."

Liu Chunhua stared at Jia Dongxu blankly, her big brain spinning rapidly. She couldn't get married when she was a grown-up girl, and if she got divorced, she would be even more unmarried. Although Jia Dongxu was a bit cowardly, he was still a man after all. After thinking for a while, she threatened, "I don't agree, I absolutely don't agree."

Jia Dongxu pointed at his swollen face and said to the people in the courtyard, "You don't agree? Why don't you agree? Look at how you beat me. What kind of woman beats her man like that?" Jia Dongxu was shameless. As long as he could get a divorce, what did his face matter? It was like being able to eat or drink.

The men looked at Jia Dongxu's miserable appearance and laughed. This made Jia Dongxu very angry, especially when he saw Sha Zhu laughing, Jia Dongxu felt even more unbalanced. When he saw Qin Huairu standing next to him, he always felt that such a beautiful woman should be his wife. The fire in his heart was about to erupt like a volcano, and he pointed at Sha Zhu who was laughing the most happily and cursed, "Sha Zhu, you are a bastard! What are you laughing at?"

He Yuzhu was stunned at first, he didn't expect that the fire would burn him. But he was not afraid of Jia Dongxu, he grinned and said, "I am just laughing at you, what can you do to me? You want a divorce just because you can't beat your own wife, you are really too capable. How long have you two been married? If you want to divorce, if it gets out, the reputation of our courtyard will be more or less affected."

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, everyone in the courtyard nodded. He Yuzhu pretended to be very sad and said, "If people who don't know the situation talk nonsense outside, they will think that the neighbors in our courtyard are bullying the newly married daughter-in-law. Then, how can the young men in the courtyard find a wife?"

Liu Haizhong has two sons, and Yan Fugui has three sons. If a couple gets divorced within a week of marriage, their children will not be able to find a wife in the future. Don't underestimate the reputation of this era. There are not so many entertainment facilities in this era. Everyone relies on these gossips to enrich their lives. If it spreads out, the young people in the yard will definitely be affected.

Liu Haizhong stood up suddenly, nodded and said, "Dongxu, what nonsense are you talking about? You two haven't been married for even a month, and you dare to get a divorce? We will never agree." The families with children in the courtyard nodded one after another.

Jia Dongxu's face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd. He looked at his master, hoping that his master would agree to divorce this shrew. Yi Zhonghai frowned. He would not offend these people in the yard for Jia Dongxu. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, as the saying goes. A couple fights at the head of the bed and makes up at the foot of the bed. It hasn't come to this yet. You two should stop making trouble. Dongxu, don't talk about divorce anymore in the future."
